There is also National Trust land beyond Rosare, providing immediate access to the beautiful “secret” valley and walks up to Selsey Common.

  • Woodchester Parish Design Statement
    Woodchester Parish Design Statement The Design Statement describes the visual qualities and features of the Parish, as seen through the eyes of local residents. It sets out the key qualities of the Parish environment and the local values put upon them. It seeks to inspire future development that can respect and enhance the unique character of Woodchester. I believe the production of this document will show how people and their locally elected representatives can get more involved in planning for their areas. This is the essence of the Government’s Big Society ambitions. A good planning system is essential for the economy, environment and society. It represents a genuine opportunity for the local community to influence the future of the place where they live. As such, it can be considered an important initial step towards genuine neighbourhood planning, as proposed in the recently passed Localism Act. It will assist the delivery of good and informed contemporary designs that will be in harmony with the environment and local community aspirations. It should enable local people to exercise influence as well as inform the District Council’s planning policies and decisions. This work, I believe, can make a real difference to Woodchester. Finally, the community work within this Design Statement will enhance the understanding between the District Council, the local community, designers, and developers, in a meaningful and collaborative way. I therefore support and welcome this document.

  • 7.4 Stroud District Council Area Rationale Member Support
    7.4 Stroud District Council Area Number of Proposed Divisions: 10 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 90,091 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 93,737 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 9,374 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 80% Rationale A major constraint in drawing up the proposals for the Stroud division is the geographical position of Wotton-under-Edge. Forming a new division of about 9300 in the south west of the district has a large knock-on effect for the whole southern part, at least, and can produce what looks like odd-shaped boundaries. However, for the most part, the new divisions are coherent, mostly based on current divisions and achieve a high coterminosity of 80%. Member Support The proposals for the Stroud District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups. Electorate Figures for 2010 and Forecast Figures for 2016 Division 2010 2016 Forecast Forecast Electorate Electorate electoral electoral variance in variance in 2016 (based 2016 (based on District on County average) average) ST1 7,575 9,428 1% 2% ST2 9,120 9,537 2% 3% ST3 9,544 9,709 4% 5% ST4 10,233 10,411 11% 12% ST5 9,213 9,507 1% 3% ST6 8,749 8,836 -6% -5% ST7 9,010 9,117 -3% -2% ST8 8,387 8,714 -7% -6% ST9 9,906 10,031 7% 8% ST10 8,358 8,445 -10% -9% Total Electorate 90,095 93,735 for Stroud District Stroud Division ST 1 The proposed new division links the parishes lying mostly between the River Severn and the M5 motorway.

  • On a Mammoth Molar from North Woodchester, Near Stroud
    502 F. Raw—A Mammoth Molar from North Woodchester. types formed by the metamorphism of rudaceous sedimentary rock?. The above suggested use of the terms psephitic, psammitic, and pelitic, has been adopted in many recent memoirs of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom, especially those dealing with the gneisses and schists of the northern, north-western, and Grampian Highlands. On a Mammoth Molar from North Woodchester, near Stroud. By FRANK RAW, B.SC, F.G.S. (PLATE X.) HHHE tooth, of which a photograph (half-size) is reproduced, was -*- found during Easter, 1916, by the late Mr. W. Harrison, of Selly Oak, Birmingham, who kindly lent it to the writer. Though similar finds are fairly common, this tooth by its form is of rather special interest, and so the writer thinks merits description. According to the note written down at the time it was received from Mr. Harrison, it was found " at North Woodchester, at the base of the hill that rises to Selsley Hill ". This village is about 1| miles S.S.W. of Stroud, Gloucestershire, on the west side of the valley that runs here behind the edge of the Cotteswolds, of which Selsley Hill forms a part. North Woodchester lies along the road that runs west from the bottom of this valley (perhaps LJO feet O.D.). and rises to Selsley Hill (689 feet). The range in height of the village is from 200 feet O.D. to 300 feet O.D., and from the description of the site by Mrs. Harrison the writer judges the altitude of the find to be about 300 feet O.D.

Essentially as built. 2 The East range of the Mansion, showing the chapel, from a twentieth century postcard. All visitors to Woodchester Park and the Mansion realise that the focal point of the house is the chapel. In William Leigh’s time the main entrance to the Park was at the eastern end of the valley in South Woodchester. If the house had been completed visitors would have trundled up the long drive in their carriages and would then have been confronted by the chapel’s beautiful eastern elevation. The eyes of those entering the house would be drawn down the length of the vaulted great corridor towards its entrance. Today the lovely chapel is still incomplete, and to modern (and especially non-Catholic) audiences the question arises; how was it going to be used? Between 1846 and 1849, well before he started work on the Mansion, William Leigh had erected the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation at South Woodchester.
