    Examinations of the Bromsgrove District Plan (BDP) and Borough of Redditch Local Plan No.4 (BORLP4) Hearing Statement: Response to Inspector’s Matters, Issues and Questions Matter XB1: Cross-boundary Allocations 5YHLS Joint Statement prepared by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Councils 4th March 2016 Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council Response to the Inspector’s Matters, issues and Questions Matter XB1 - Cross-boundary Allocations XB1.2 Do the Foxlydiate and Brockhill Urban Extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District, having regard to the provision of the necessary infrastructure, affordable housing and other facilities, and taking account of environmental constraints? Is the methodology for selecting these sites robust and transparent? Has appropriate consideration been given to alternative locations? Have exceptional circumstances been demonstrated to justify the removal of land from the Green Belt? 1. In addition to the previous comments made in the previous Hearing Statements XB1/1a and XB1/1b dated 3 rd December 2014 and 8th June 2015 Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) and Redditch Borough Council (RBC) would like to take the opportunity to re-emphasise and add the following comments. 2. The Councils’ consider that the Foxlydiate and Brockhill East urban extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District. The analysis that informs this view can be found in the Housing Growth Development Study (HGDS) [CDX1.1], and further explanation is found in the more recent Narrative on the Site Selection Process for the Growth Areas at Redditch January 2016 [“The Narrative”] which were completed jointly by BDC and RBC officers.

  • Private Harry Cecil Mills
    Private Harry Cecil Mills Harry’s great grandfather (born around 1801 in Feckenham, Worcestershire) was Joseph Mills a nail maker. He married Mary Fowkes on 15th April 1821.i In 1841 Joseph lived with Mary and five of his children at Crabbs Cross, a hamlet partly in Feckenham Parish and partly in Ipsley Parish. His eldest children are twins,ii John and Elizabeth, both 15 years old (born 1826) followed by William, aged 13 (born 1828 and baptised 3rd August 1828iii), Charles aged 11 (born 1830) and Michael aged 2 (born 1839). A son, Joseph was born on 22nd July 1827, but was not recorded. on the census.iv Figure 1: 1848 newspaper announcement of the marriage of Joseph’s only daughter, Elizabeth, and naming his ‘brewhouse’. By 1851 only the youngest two children still lived at home at Crabbs Cross. Charles had taken up the trade of nail maker but William was still a scholar. Joseph had set up and ran, with the assistance of Mary, a beerhouse called the Royal Oak Inn (see Figure 1). The idea of a beerhouse goes back to the reaction against the serious effects of widespread gin drinking in the early 19th century, when Parliament made it legal for any householder to open his house for the sale (and consumption) of beer on payment of a modest fee to the licensing magistrate, subject to good conduct. The new Act had its effect, and thousands of beerhouses were opened in the 1830s, regardless of the suitability of the premises. The Royal Oak Inn is now a private house, next door to Crabbs Cross chip shop but it retains a ceramic plaque featuring a castle and: 'WEST COUNTRY ALES - 1760 - BEST IN THE WEST' set into v Figure 2: Ceramic sign for West Country the front wall.

  • Non-Conformist Records on Microfilm at the Hive
    Non-Conformist Records on Microfilm at The Hive Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service Contents Introduction to Non-Conformist Records on Microfilm 1-2 Non-Conformist Records by Place 3-6 Baptists 7-9 Congregationalists/Independents 10 Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion 11 Methodists 12-18 Presbyterians 19-20 Society of Friends 21-25 Other 26 Wesleyan Methodist Historic Roll 27-28 Non-Conformist Records Found within Private Collections 29 Introduction to Non-Conformist Records on Microfilm What is a non-conformist? A non-conformist is someone who could not be counted as part of the Church of England. They are often part of other churches. Examples include Quaker, Methodist and Baptist. Up to 1644 non-conformists were persecuted and are unlikely to have kept written records. Even after 1644 they were often obliged to marry in the Church of England and were often buried in a parish churchyard. These events, however, may remain unregistered. The Marriage Act of 1753 only recognised as legal those marriages taken by Anglican clergy (Quakers and Jews were exempt). Despite these tendencies many non-conformist churches did keep their own registers, often in the possession of individual ministers. There is no requirement to deposit such records with local record offices so coverage can be patchy. Many records are held at The National Archives. Details concerning what Roman Catholic registers are available on microfilm here at The Hive, is available in a separate handlist. What do the records contain? Like Church of England Parish Records non-conformist records contain baptisms, marriages and burials. Sometimes births and deaths are mentioned.
