  • PREFACE in 1974 Enid and I Decided to Look for a House of Our Own As I
    PREFACE In 1974 Enid and I decided to look for a house of our own as I was due to retire in 1976. Gloucestershire we knew was a nice county in which to live. We had certain connections with it. On our days off we frequently toured the Cotswolds, we were then living in Henley-on-Thames. Added to this, in about 1910 my father considered buying the practice at Northleach and so becoming its local doctor, however, he went to Weobley in Herefordshire. His father, James Strachan Clarke who died in 1976 aged 45 or 46 had been a tenant farmer at Ashwick Grange, Marshfield and apparently the Land Agent of the people living at Ashwick Hall. Unfortunately, the records of ownership of the Hall were destroyed in the Bristol blitz during World War II so I know nothing about them. In the parish church there is a brass plate concerning him. The name is incorrect, he is called James Stephenson Clarke, this was an error on the part of my Aunt Agnes, his eldest daughter. In 1775 a certain John Clarke married Jane Stephenson, she is alleged to be the beauty of the Clarkes (though I would think, judging from the pictures, that my wife Enid, runs her a close second and is probably ahead of her). The name Stephenson became attached to the Clarkes until the present day. After a long search we saw a photograph of our cottage in the premises of Bloss, Tippett and Taylor of Bourton-on-the-Water and in 1976 bought it from Mr.

  • Magistrate Court (Petty Sessions) Records
    Magistrate Court (Petty Sessions) Records Background Petty Sessions Courts, now known as Magistrates Courts, dealt with minor criminal cases, licensing, and civil matters. Although they existed in the 1600s, no records before the 1800s have survived. Originally there were four divisions based on the grouping of various “hundreds” (ancient groupings of parishes). These divisions were reorganised in 1840, although some earlier records survive from the old districts. Some districts were merged in the late 20th century. The Petty Sessions dealt with the licensing of alehouses, highways, appeals against poor rates, adoptions, bastardy cases, and minor crimes (usually those which carried up to a 2 year sentence). What records are there and what information will they contain? It was not until the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 that standard registers and recordkeeping was put in place. Earlier records developed casually and vary between districts. Survival rates for each district vary widely. You will need to check the catalogue to see what has survived. The collection may include: Type of Record Ref. Information Minute Books M A more detailed account of the court than the summary jurisdiction registers. Court Registers before 1879 RA Information recorded was not standardised. Summary Jurisdiction & RM1 These list cases heard by the court. They are in Court Registers & chronological order and list the name of the defendant, RM2 informant or victim, the offence, verdict and sentence. Registers of Explosives RM3 Record stores selling explosives and firework factories. Stores Register of Clubs RM5 Clubs which sold alcohol to members required a licence. These are similar to the Alehouse Licences.

Introduction and Background 2. Planning and Policy Context 3. Community View on Planning Issues 4. Vision, Objectives and Land Use Policies 5. Implementation Policies Map and Inset Appendix A: Schedule of Evidence NORTHLEACH WITH EASTINGTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN: MADE PLAN (APRIL 2019) 2 Foreword Northleach is the smallest of the Cotswold district’s market towns, but one with a rich history which belies its size. Established in the 1200’s, it grew to become an internationally recognised wool trading town. The wealth this brought flowed into the church and other old buildings that we enjoy in the town today. With the decline of the wool trade, so the town declined, but re-established itself as an important stopping point for the coaching trade in the nineteenth century. With the growth of traffic and as the route of the old A40 trunk road it became saturated with traffic, eventually relieved with the opening of the bypass in the 1980’s. Thereafter, the town saw considerable expansion with the development of a number of new housing estates such that it, together with its primary school, has nearly doubled in size since the 1980’s. Northleach now faces the same pressures as other areas in the district, particularly for more housing. Earlier development, and that yet to come over the next 20 years or so has not and is unlikely to address the town’s infrastructure needs or the wishes of local people as to where development should take place.

  • Brian Knight
    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.

  • 7.11 Mid Cotswold Principal Settlements
    COTSWOLD DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN 2011-2031 71 Delivering the Strategy 7 7.11 Mid Cotswold - Principal Settlements (POLICY SA2) 7.11.1 The Mid-Cotswolds sub-area comprises: Andoversford Bourton-on-the-Water Northleach Stow-on-the-Wold Upper Rissington 7.11.2 Together these settlements provide day-to-day infrastructure, services and facilities for local residents and those living in the wider rural areas. Policy SA2 STRATEGIC DELIVERY - MID-COTSWOLDS SUB-AREA Within the context of Policy INF1, the strategic infrastructure requirements for the Mid-Cotswolds Sub-Area are: Highways Improvement of Unicorn junction (A436/B4068), Stow-on-the-Wold 7.12 Andoversford (POLICY S10) 7.12.1 Although Andoversford is not a large settlement, it has an above-average level of services and facilities for a village of its size. Importantly, it also has a well established industrial estate and good employment base. 7.12.2 Self-containment is low. This could be explained by the relatively close proximity of the village to Cheltenham. Also, bus services to neighbouring Cheltenham have improved and are convenient for commuting to work during normal hours. 7.12.3 Andoversford’s role as a local service and employment centre should be enhanced to help enable it to service a number of villages within a few miles’ radius, and reduce reliance on car travel to Cheltenham/ Charlton Kings to the west. Development will also help to enhance Andoversford’s potential role as a local service centre in an otherwise poorly-served part of the District. Additional house building will also address the relatively modest need for affordable housing in the Andoversford area.
