The country lanes and old county roads provide great cycling opportunities, made interesting with undulating landscapes and excellent views across the Vale of Belvoir. Did you know? The pub with two names Rutland Arms AKA Dirty Duck, was built around 1750, half a century before the canal so was more frequented by cattle drovers than the navvies. The first Belvoir Castle, built by Robert de Todeni (William the Conqueror's Standard Bearer during the Battle of Hastings), was a true fortification erected in the years shortly after the Norman Conquest, made of earth and timber. The name Belvoir (pronounced “beever”) originates from the Norman term for “beautiful view", a fitting label for this picturesque estate.

The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young
Violet MANNERS (London 1856 - London 1937) The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young John Manners, later 9th Duke of Rutland Pencil, with touches of pen and brown ink, on paper washed a pale grey. Inscribed John sitting to Shannon at the lower centre. Further inscribed in pencil on the verso. 239 x 292 mm. (9 3/8 x 11 1/2 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON, DC. This drawing depicts the artist's young son John Manners being painted by the Anglo-American artist James Jebusa Shannon (1862-1923), one of the leading society portrait painters in London, at his studio in Holland Park in 1897. The second son of the Marquess and Marchioness of Granby, John Henry Montagu Manners, Lord Roos (1886-1940) was ten or eleven years old at the time this drawing was made. His elder brother Robert, Lord Haddon, had died three years earlier, at the age of nine, and John was the heir to the dukedom. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, John Manners joined the Diplomatic Service and was posted to the British Embassy in Rome in 1909. The following year he was commissioned into the 4th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant. Although he was sent to the Western Front in 1915, Manners was kept away from the front lines by his superiors - much against his wishes and to his great shame later in life - largely due to the efforts and influence of his mother, the Duchess of Rutland, who was determined to keep her only surviving son well away from the fighting.

74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area Profile: Supporting Documents
National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and knowledge. We will aim to refresh and update them periodically as new 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra information becomes available to us.

Annual Review 2016
Review 2016 BELVOIR CRICKET & COUNTRYSIDE TRUST Patron's Message 1 I am delighted to report that the Trust has reached out to over 2,700 children this year which is a superb achievement and I would like to congratulate Darren and his team on another successful year. It is lovely to see all the smiling faces every time I drive past the cricket ground at Knipton during the summer and I was especially pleased to be able to welcome the children from Fountaindale Special Needs School to our Castle in July. Most of these children suffer from very severe physical disabilities, whilst keeping an amazing sense of humour and good spirit. We could not fit the specially designed wheelchairs into the cricket pavilion at Knipton so we were able to invite them into the castle to ensure they had a great day with us. On the subject of facilities, I am delighted to hear that the Trust has an ambition to re-develop the pavilion at Knipton. Our grounds here at the Castle have undergone some huge changes in recent times and I fully support the need for new purpos-built facilities at Knipton which will complement the work of the Trust but also support our local community which is very important to me.

It was once extremely common to add to the name of the deceased further details about where they were ‘of’ or ‘from’. Very frequently the phrase used was ‘of this parish’. One typical inscription reads: ‘Here lieth the Body of joan the wife of walter Williams of Baddon in the Parish of Bridestow’, to take an example dated 1774 from Lydford in west Dartmoor. Other inscriptions may take the form: ‘In Memory of [name], of this parish’, or ‘of the parish of . .’ The wording can vary in a number of ways. Some- times one Wnds the person, or their husband or parents, being ascribed to a certain place rather than ‘this parish’, a place that may be a small settlement or even a house address, through to a large city.
