  • The Following Is Detail of the Closure of Towcester High Street for 18 Weeks
    THE FOLLOWING IS DETAIL OF THE CLOSURE OF TOWCESTER HIGH STREET FOR 18 WEEKS. INCLUDING THE CLOSURE OF THE BLISWORTH TURN OF THE A43. THIS IS A LONG PIECE BUT WELL WORTH READING IN FULL. Today I met the representative of Forkers, who are the contractors for the Highways Agency (HA)to discuss the roadworks to the A5 through Towcester starting in July. Not U3A related other than it is going to affect all our members at some point. These will be undertaken in phases over a 18 week period and start just short of the Tove roundabout and go south as far as Marlow road. This will mean the A5 will be closed to through traffic for the entire period although limited access to the frontages will be provided. The laybys and market square will be closed to parking while the relevant phases are undertaken. Work is planned to start at 7am and finish at midnight during the week (2 shifts) then lesser hours over the weekend. The work is necessitated by the collapse of the gas pipe trench and drainage evidenced by the road damage that can be seen through town. The road surface will also be completely resurfaced. The first phase will be a closure of the road from the Tove roundabout to the traffic lights and will take 3 weeks. The next 15 weeks will start with work from Marlow road north to allow the bus companies to reroute services and then the remaining phases through the town centre back to the traffic lights at Brackley Rd/Northampton Rd.

  • Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN
    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* By JOHN MARTIN Abstract It is commonly accepted that there was a slackening of the enclosure movement, if not outright reconversion to arable, in England in the latter half of the sixteenth century. This is usually ascribed to lower wool prices making shecp-grazing less attractive. There are difficulties with this pcrspective linking prices and enclosure activity directly. The example of Northampton- shire, a county in the forefront of enclosure, suggests that there was no trend away from sheep-farming. Two surveys of sheep numbers on enclosed pasture, conducted in 1547 and 1564, indicate that sheep-grazing spread throughout the county, and that grazing was concentrated on deserted village sites. Whilc there was some reduction in the size of large flocks, this was more than balanced by the proliferation of smaller flocks - overall sheep numbers increased in this pcriod. By the end of the century, sheep flocks were grazing on enclosed pasture in half of thc parishes in Northamptonshirc. INCE Bowden's detailed work on wool prices was its role in explaining the pattern prices for the period 149o-161o , it of the Tudor enclosure movement. He S has been argued that, after the mid- sought to draw a dividing line down the sixteenth century, lower wool prices rela- middle of the sixteenth century on this tive to those of wheat deflected graziers basis. from sheep-farming and halted the process Thc rcason why farmers were enclosing their land of enclosure, or even caused a considerable for pasture in thc first half of the sixteenth century reconversion of pasture to arable land.
