  • Bagendon Draft 1.0

    Bagendon Draft 1.0

    VCH Gloucestershire: Volume XVI, Bagendon Draft 1.0 BAGENDON THE VILLAGE OF BAGENDON is situated 21 km. (13 miles) south-east of Gloucester and 5 km. (3 miles) north of Cirencester. The parish lies within the valley of the river Churn, which forms part of its eastern boundary, whilst the village lies across one of the river’s tributaries. Although the parish was the site of a significant prehistoric settlement, the ditches of which have divided Bagendon from the neighbouring estate of North Cerney since at least the 9th century, the medieval and modern village has never been populous. The construction of a turnpike between Cirencester and Cheltenham accelerated development along its course, spurring the fringe of Bagendon to acquire a suburban quality during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the abiding characteristic of the parish remains rural and agricultural, with only the ancient mill providing any significant industrial activity before recent times. LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILT CHARACTER BOUNDARIES The parish measured 1,106 a. in 1792,1 and still in 1841, recalculated to 1,146 a. in 1891.2 The parish is long and narrow in shape, measuring almost 5 km. (c.3 miles) from north to south and 1½ km. (c.1 mile) across from east to west, although in places it contracts to less than 500 m. (c.546 yds) in width. The boundaries of the parish were depicted on the enclosure map of 1792,3 and for much of their length they follow clear topographical features such as roads and waterways. To the east and north, the boundary is defined by the river Churn, its tributary the Bagendon brook, a road running north from the brook to Woodmancote, and a lane running south-west to the brook.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

The maps also enabled 4 figure grid references to be taken which accurately recorded the location of for example odour and refuse. The maps are reproduced in this report at a scale of 1:10,000 with the location of information relevant to this survey and photograph locations being clearly shown. The maps are shown in order from the start of the survey of the river at their upstream point to the end of the survey downstream.
