Minutes of Annual Parish Meeting Held in Isham Village Hall on Monday 23Rd March 2015 Minutes of Annual Parish Meeting Held in Isham Village Hall On Monday 23rd March 2015 Present: Councillors Bell (County & Borough), Timms (Borough), Curtis, Priest, Dring, Forrester, Hallam, Hobbs, Plowman, Rait, PSCO Mike Bowes, Janice Forrester Isham Ladies Club, Jacqueline Hope, Trevor Jones, Les Julyan, Anne Marshall, Richard Marshall, Graham Patenell, Hazel Rait, History Society, and Alison McLaven Clerk, Apologies Apologies were received from The Mayor, Stan Turner, Isham Charities and Isham Parochial Church Council, John Lambert, Beavers & Scouts, Bell Ringers, Bowls, FOIS, Pre-school, Isham Wesleyan Chapel. There were no reports or apologies from the Cricket club or Oversixties. Councillor Curtis welcomed everyone to the meeting, noting that the attendance had dropped since the previous meeting. Report on the County by Councillor Bell The Womens Cycle Tour came through Northamptonshire last year, it started in Oundle and ended in Northampton, and was watched by 300,000 people, it is back this year and starts in Kettering and it is hoped that in 2016 it start in Wellingborough. The County Council are promoting rise to the top in schools. The County have identified schools it judges to be failing and are inviting all to apply for a share of a million pounds. There are 16 new schools needed over the next 12 years, a lot will be free schools or academies as the government is not providing the money to start these schools. Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are working together over things like transport, network rail etc. the three counties have a gross administrative value of 45 billion pounds for 2 million people which equals that of greater Manchester. The bypass needs more funding, but there is now funding for the top and the bottom of the route, Councillor Bell is working hard to get the funding for the middle bit, and is anticipation construction could start in 4 or 5 years. Superfast broadband should be rolled out through the County soon. The A43 will be duelled. The County Council are spending 16 million pounds on a new headquarters building, this will then save 50 million in rental costs. It should be ready next year, and there is a possibility that the Police will also use the building. Councillor Bell noted that whatever the result of the election on 7th May, spending will still be cut. Councillor Bell has spent his grants on various projects throughout the villages, including buy cups saucers etc. for the New Village Hall. In answer to a question about the number of vehicles from the increased number of housing in Wellingborough Councillor Bell advised that there is a limited number to be built until conditions are met for the next stage of development. Councillor Bell advised to write to him requesting a Number Plate Recognition Camera to be placed in Station Road, to help stop the number of HGV’s using the road when they should use a different route. He also advised to contact him regarding the number of potholes along the Orlingbury Road, so that he can contact Helen Howard who may be able to come out again and view the repairs needed on the road. There were also concerns raised about the amount of litter along the A509 from the A14 to Wellingborough and Station Road. Councillor Bell advised that Highways are trying to deal with the problem and clean up but they have to wait for specialist Lorries to help on major roads. Report on the Police by PCSO Mike Bowes There were 3 reported crimes in February, 2 burglaries of dwellings, the cricket club and 10 Wellingborough Road. The other crime was vehicle damage in Church Street, the offender has been dealt with. PCSO Bowes noted that we have not received crime figures recently and would advise Sharan Wildeman of this. JAG priorities are HGV limits in villages, Anti- Social Behaviour, and speeding. Councillor Timms noted that motorbikes often speed through the village. Report on the Borough from Councillor Timms Councillor Timms advised the meeting that this would be his last appearance as a Borough Councillor, he has been a Borough Councillor for 33 years, and he was sorry to leave. Councillor Timms reminded everyone that Norse can be contacted regarding refuse collection, and that the number is on the leaflet in the Noticeboard. Councillor Timms revealed that Bovis are starting work on Stanton Cross and that they will be building a new bridge over brook and the railway lines Councillor Bell thanked Councillor Timms for all his hard work over the years, and noted that Stanton Cross has small grants available which can be applied for on their website. Report on the Parish Council and PFA from Councillor Curtis Councillor Curtis started by thanking Richard Marshall for being the Footpath Warden for many years, and putting up 90 odd way mark posts, building styles etc. We are now looking for a new volunteer Footpath Warden for Isham. Councillor Curtis thanked Councillor Timms again for all his efforts. Councillor Dring is retiring in May, so there will be a vacancy. Councillor Curtis thanked all volunteers especially Richard, Geoff and Gordon for all their hard work which is very much appreciated. Volunteers are needed to help with Speedwatch, which will start on 4th July and go on until 8th August. It is hoped to do an evening shift to catch Lorries speeding. Volunteers are also required to help with the grass edges as the paths are being eroded especially along the main road and in Fairfield Road, these had be asked for previously but we have not had anyone come forward, if there are still none, we may have to ask a contractor to do the work and this will affect the precept. The Precept has been increased for the first time in a number of years, this is to fund the setting up of a website which we need so that we can keep the village up to date with things that are happening, recently there have been two incidences when the Clerk and Councillor Dring have leaflet dropped to advise re planning in the Sorrels and the Wind Turbine which could have been put on the website to inform people. It is hoped we can get some funding towards this. The work at the cemetery has been done, and grass set. There are a lot of mole holes along the main road, the contractor had flattened all of them, but they are now back. We are grateful to the 11 volunteers who helped Councillor and Mrs Forrester with the litter pick. The Parish Council has become trustees of the Playing Fields Association which included the Glebe field and the grounds of the Cricket Club, all Councillors are the Trustees whilst in position. We are hoping to look at access etc. in future Report on the Charities The Council wished Mr Turner a speedy recovery The Apprentices charity has had a disposable income of £1600.04, grants of £300.00 and £179.94, and the honorarium of £101.03. The trustees are always pleased to receive enquiries. The Constable charity had an income of £118.79 and the honorarium for bus shelter cleaning of £40 had been paid out. The William and Anne Green Charity had an income of £26.95, the annual distribution of bread and meat, which is now chicken and Christmas pudding had cost £26.94 for the 6 chickens and £6.00 for the Christmas puddings and they had been distributed to suitable residents. Funds are always limited due to the lack of investment interest. Overall the year had seen a slight rise in the level of interest and we may well see income rise over the next year. The trustees always endeavour to do their best with the limited funds available. Reports from the Voluntary Organisations 1st Isham and Orlingbury Beavers, Cubs and Scouts – Apologies sent, report provided. The group has for some time been without a Beaver Colony (6-8 yrs olds) but within the past year we have found 2 new leaders to restart the Beavers, and are now at maximum capacity for the ratio of leaders. They are being assisted by 2 young leaders also. The Beavers meet on Wednesday 6.15- 7.15 at Isham Village Hall. The Cubs have been busy and until Christmas has 2 leaders. They also linked up with the scouts on a few evenings last year, including a bar b q, and scarecrow building! The Cubs are 8-101/2 yr old and meet at Isham School on a Wednesday 7.00.- 8.30. The Scouts, like the Beavers have moved back into the very nice new village hall. They also have been busy backwoods cooking on open fire, hiking over the fields with a full rucksack, and a challenge night in Irchester County Park. We are always looking for new leaders, or helper, and especially a Group Scout Leader. We also have spaces for Scouts and Cubs. Isham Bell ringers - Apologies sent, report provided. The bell ringers at St Peter’s were pleased to welcome Stuart Bendall back to the belfry in May when he and his family returned to the village. Stuart began to ring in 2010 before work commitments took him away from Isham. It was impressive how quickly he slotted back in and was able to pick up his skills again. There are now ten ringers who practise regularly on a Monday evening, and we have three learners who are making excellent progress: Joseph and Matthew Loak and Barbara Gatenby. I was especially pleased when all six bells were rung for Sunday service in July and hope this will be a more regular occurrence.

  • Orlingbury Character Appraisal
    ORLINGBURY CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL 1. ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Orlingbury Village is located 4 miles west-north-west of Wellingborough, 4 miles from Kettering and 10 miles from Northampton. The roughly rectangular parish lies between two east-flowing tributaries of the River Ise; the higher land in the west between 107m and 137m AOD, and the central ridge which runs east-west, are covered by Boulder Clay, but the down-cutting of the two streams to the north and south has exposed bands of Great Oolite Limestone, clays, silts, and limestone of the Estuarine Series, Northampton Sand and Upper Lias Clay.¹ The village of Orlingbury itself, in the north- east corner of the parish, lies at 101m AOD, whilst in the south east the ground falls rapidly and is only 68m AOD at the parish boundary on the Orlingbury – Little Harrowden road. 1.2 The etymology of the place name is consistent with this topography as it is thought to derive from “Ordla’s Hill” with connective “ing”. However, the multiplicity of variant forms makes the second element uncertain, evolving from Ordinbaro (1086) through Orlingberg(a) (1131), Horlingbere (1203), Orlibergh (1388) to Orlibeare in 1631.² 1.3 Fairly remote from any significant routes or towns, Orlingbury appears to have been relatively unaffected by the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. Bridges, in 1753, records it as having about 50 families and census returns in the 19th century showed a stable population of between 250 and 350 persons. Whellan notes employment in 1874 as comprising: grocer/baker wheelwright/carpenter 2 shoemakers brick maker school mistress blacksmith Rector and 3 farmers/graziers farm bailiff With the possible exception of the shoemakers, therefore, employment was clearly subsistence-based.

  • The Matter of Isham Cross, Northamptonshire in S. Africa
    · THE MATTER OF ISHAM CROSS , In ' r642 there was living at Irchester in Northamptonshire a ,country squire named Thomas Jenyson. He came of a prosperous and well-known north country family. I His father, who bore the same name and who died in r587, had been Auditor-· General of Ireland and Controller of the Works at Berwick. His fourth son, the writer of the letter to Lord Montagu of Boughton printed below, seems, however, to have chosen to settle down as a country gentleman, buying an estate at Irchester and also acquiring from the Earl of Salisbury in the early years of the r 7th century the rectory and advowson of St. Katherine's church* there. From the evidence of the letter he also owned a house in Wellingborough, four miles distant by road from Irchester. He ,was a justice of the peace for many years, ' though 'not of the quorum, and, dying in r647, was buried in the chancel of St. Katherine's. His letter, written in the in- , volved and somewhat obscure style in which so much of the private correspondence of the time , is couched, relates the following story. On Tuesday,June 28th~ r642, a Mr. Smith of Isham (perhaps the village constable) accompanied by another man, tramped the six or seven miles to Irchester to complain to Squire J enyson as a justice of the peace, of the .destruction in a riot of Isham Cross. The offenders were Puritans; the ' extremists among whom regarded all such monu­ ments as superstitious idols. J enyson asked his visitors why they had n9t gone, as in duty bound, to the two nearest justices, instead of coming all the way to Irchester.
