  • THE CHILD MARRIAGE of RICHARD, SECOND VISCOUNT MOLYNEUX, with SOME NOTICES of HIS LIFE, from CONTEMPORARY DOCUMENTS. by T. Alger
    THE CHILD MARRIAGE OF RICHARD, SECOND VISCOUNT MOLYNEUX, WITH SOME NOTICES OF HIS LIFE, FROM CONTEMPORARY DOCUMENTS. By T. Algernon Earle, and R. D. Radcliffe, m.a., f.s.a. Read 5 th March, 1891. MONG the many interesting documents in A the muniment room at Croxteth, is a copy of a curious Case and Opinions, dated 12th July, 1648, relating to a contract of marriage, made when under age, by Richard, afterwards second Viscount Molyneux, and the Lady Henrietta Maria Stanley, daughter of the seventh Earl of Derby. Inasmuch as this gives an interesting statement of the law governing such contracts, and is a contemporary commentary on a custom, at the time it was written of frequent occurrence and long standing, it seems to be well worth recording at length. Of these " Child Marriages," Strype says in his Memorials (b. ii, p. 313), that " in the latter part of " the sixteenth century the nation became scan- " dalous for the frequency of divorces, especially " among the richer sort, one occasion being the " covetousness of the nobility and gentry, who " used often to marry their children when they " were young boys and girls, that they might join 246 Richard, second Viscount Molyneux. " land to land ; and, being grown up, they many " times disliked each other, and then separation "and divorce followed, to the breach of espousals " and the displeasure of God." Instances in our own two counties are numerous enough ; and, strange to say, the first Lord Moly- neux was in early life contracted in marriage to Fleetwood, daughter and heiress of Richard Barton, of Barton Row, co.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.

  • Imagine Sefton 2030 Vision Consultation Report - August 2016 Forward by Cabinet Sponsors
    Imagine Sefton 2030 Vision Consultation Report - August 2016 Forward by Cabinet Sponsors Sefton Council is leading on developing a new and exciting vision for the future of the Borough; focusing on what is important and to be bold and ambitious, so that Sefton is a place where we are all proud to live, where people want to spend time, where people can achieve and where businesses thrive and investors are drawn to. We have worked very closely with our partners, businesses, private sector organisations, the voluntary, community and faith sector and our local community to understand what you love about the area and how we can work together to deliver the ambitions expressed leading up to 2030 and beyond. It has been really important that we ask local people, visitors and people who work in the Borough what your Vision is for the Borough and the engagement we have carried out on the Vision built upon the work and the many conversations that have taken place with communities during the past few years. The extensive engagement that was carried out to help us with our understanding saw us engaging with over 3500 people of all ages from across the Borough, who visit the Borough and who have businesses here to provide us with a collective view on the areas that are important for the Borough for the future. The inclusive process included a development of a website and a Visioning Toolkit, Pop-up Community Roadshows, meetings, workshops, surveys, a comprehensive social media campaign and yes we even had answers on a postcard.

He brings a wealth of knowledge of policing as well as a lifetime of experience working with citizens and understanding what we all want and expect from our Police service. Bob says, “Merseyside is only a small area, but it is remarkably diverse in its population and needs. The role of the PCC, is a job for someone who understands the whole area, not just one tiny part of the city of Liverpool.” Getting our 220 extra officers on the beat across Merseyside, not just in Liverpool City Centre – so Merseyside has a more visible policing presence.

  • Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan
    Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 Page| Page|02 FOREWORD Formby is a great town with a unique heritage and a dynamic future. Its uniqueness is due in part to its open areas of natural beauty, unrivalled coastal dunes and its local heritage. Investment and change in the years ahead will only be worthwhile if it makes a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of its community. The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan, [NDP] has been produced jointly by the Parish Councils of Formby and Little Altcar, starting back in September 2013. The Parish Councils wanted the people of Formby and Little Altcar to have a say in all aspects of the future of the town; addressing the issues surrounding housing, infrastructure, health and wellbeing, the environment, and natural/heritage assets. However, most importantly, it wanted local people to decide what they wanted in their community. The NDP sets out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It sets out objectives on key themes such as housing, employment, green space, moving around and community facilities and builds on current and future planned activities. The Parish Councils are committed to developing and strengthening contacts with the groups that have evolved because of the NDP process. We believe that by working together to implement the NDP it will make Formby an even better place to live, work and enjoy. We have had to ensure that our NDP is consistent, where appropriate, with the Sefton Local Plan, the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework, subsequent updates, and guidance notes.

  • Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
    FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2018-2028 1 FINAL DRAFT (NOVEMBER 2017) Foreword by the Liverpool City Region Mayor Public rights of way are both a significant part of our heritage and a major recreational resource. They enable people to get away from roads used mainly by motor vehicles and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside within a large area of the city region, to which they would not otherwise have access. In many areas, public rights of way help to boost tourism and contribute to rural economies. Public rights of way can also provide a convenient means of travelling, particularly for short journeys, in both rural and urban areas. They are important in the daily lives of many people who use them for fresh air and exercise on bicycle, foot or horse, to walk their dog, to improve their fitness, or to visit local shops and other facilities. I am therefore proud to present the first Liverpool City Region Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan which sets out a vision of how the Rights of Way Network can make a positive contribution to supporting the economic, social and cultural resurgence and ambition of the City Region by improving transport links and opening up a choice of travel to Liverpool City Region visitors and residents. It is therefore crucial to make sure that public rights of way continue and contribute to an environment that is accessible, efficient, safe and reliable and will provide a step change towards further sustainable growth.
