The work involved the excavation of the remains of the former Ebworth House, and the compilation of a complete drawn and photographic record of the surviving standing structure. A statement of significance of the surviving structure was made, based on an analysis of the remains, and an assessment of the likely impact of any future redevelopment of the site was produced. A catalogue of worked stone recovered from the collapsed portions of the house was also compiled. A significant portion of the ground floor of the house was exposed, with walls standing in some areas up to first-floor height and with window and door openings apparent. Internal details such as fireplaces were also uncovered. A series of cellars, both collapsed and intact, were identified below the ground floor, but these were mostly not re-excavated on health and safety grounds. Two main phases of construction were identified, the first being a relatively small, though grand, 16th or 17th-century house, possibly a hunting lodge, and the second a remodelling and substantial enlargement of c. 1730 to create a small country mansion. Various modifications and additions occurred in the 19th century. The significance of the principal phases is unclear as detailed study of its context (the surrounding historic estate) was beyond the remit of this study. Generally however, the remains of the hunting lodge are likely to be more significant than those of the later mansion, although, as both only survive as a ruin, it is the building location and its influence on the developing landscape around it that is probably of greater importance. An Historic Landscape Survey of the Ebworth Estate has now (December 2002) been commissioned by 4 Ebworth House, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Recording © Cotswold Archaeology the National Trust, the results of which should enable a greater understanding of the significance of the various phases of building on the surrounding historic landscape. The surviving central block of the stables, probably contemporary with the early building, is of greatest significance in terms of surviving buildings. The ruins are now exposed to the elements and, without consolidation, vulnerable to weathering and further collapse. The impact of any new building on the site of the ruins is likely to be significant, given the extent of the cellars and the fragility of the surviving remains. In the absence of a historic landscape study, the impact of new building elsewhere on the estate is difficult to gauge. However, any new building in the vicinity of the ruins (for example on the site of the workshops to the west), would probably have a much greater impact on the surviving historic landscape than any new build directly over the remains of Ebworth House. The development of this site subject to appropriate archaeological recording remains the preferred option of the project team, pending the results of the Historic Landscape Survey. 5 Ebworth House, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Recording © Cotswold Archaeology 1.

  • Conserving the Painswick Valley's Rare Butterflies Project Update June 2013
    CONSERVING THE PAINSWICK VALLEY’S RARE BUTTERFLIES PROJECT UPDATE JUNE 2013 Project Summary Conserving the Painswick Valley’s rare butterflies aims to restore and maintain the limestone grassland areas to help re-establish functioning metapopulations of both Large Blue and Duke of Burgundy butterflies involving 11 sites. The project will address the major conservation challenge of managing habitat for two species at opposite ends of the successional spectrum of habitat in the same landscape. The project secured 18 months funding from the BIFFA Trust and started in October 2012. The management and grazing on the project sites will be carefully targeted using the results of habitat assess- ments, Large Blue and Duke of Burgundy monitoring and Ant surveys. Each site manager and or owner receives detailed advice on where to target the scrub management with a tailored grazing regime according to the live- stock used by their grazier. Project Achievements The volunteer element of the project has continued since October 2012. Work delivered through contractors commenced in January 2013 with some weed control planned for summer 2013. The following is a summary of what the project has achieved so far: Conservation days • An amazing total of 39 volunteer days involving scrub management and clearance over nine sites • Involved 363 individuals who have worked approximately 1568 hours in total Volunteer groups involved in the above include; Butterfly Conservation Gloucestershire Branch volunteers, Cirencester College Students, Cotswolds Wardens volunteers, Cranham Common volunteers (mainly residents) , Gloucestershire Probation Trust cli- ents, Gloucestershire Vale Conservation Volunteers. Hartpury College students, Local residents and volunteers as well as a local mountain bike group, Painswick volunteer group and Stroud Valleys Project volunteers.

  • Natural Advantage: Action for Biodiversity in the South West
    Natural Advantage: Action for Biodiversity in the South West Case Studies in Sustainability • NATURAL ADVANTAGE:Action for Biodiversity in the South West • NATURAL ADVANTAGE:Action for Biodiversity in the South West Nature for all The nature conservation resource in our region is a major asset which we should all be proud of. Our characteristic and remarkable combination of wildlife and geological heritage is significant as an attraction to tourists, for businesses seeking to relocate, and as a major contributor to the quality of life in the South West. This has been highlighted in the recently published Regional Environment Strategy. None of us can fail to appreciate this wonderful heritage but it has been harder to understand what action is needed to care for it. This booklet clearly demonstrates the breadth of what is being done now. Across the region a host of organisations and individuals are working in partnership to maintain and enhance this precious nature conservation heritage. Wildlife and habitats are benefiting, but as these case studies demonstrate the benefits also extend across to economic and social well being. What is important is that these studies act to promote further action in the South West.To ensure that we pass on to future generations a wealth of wildlife and habitats, that continue to enhance the quality of life of all those who live, work or visit here. The SW Regional Biodiversity Partnership must be congratulated for putting together this important “ When we see land as a booklet. It is a celebration of what we can all achieve when we work in partnership.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.
