  • 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.

  • Gloucestershire Ramblers Area Highways England A417 Missing Link Public Consultation Response 0
    Gloucestershire Ramblers Area Highways England A417 Missing Link Public Consultation Response 0. Introduction November 2019 gloucestershireramblers.org.uk/A417 [email protected] Ramblers have been campaigning here for around 20 years for through traffic to be removed from local roads (preferably with a tunnel) to make them walkable and crossable again. The landscape would stay the same. The aims can be summarised as - Keep the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way on their Authors’ line - Ensure safe footpath crossings - Retain the landmark Air Balloon Inn – a meeting place for walkers The current proposals - Divert the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way - Extinguish footpath crossings - Demolish the Air Balloon. Ramblers’ Charitable Aims Defend footpaths, protect places we like to walk, improve access, let the public know what we do. In March 2018 Ramblers rejected both options 12 and 30 but offered to work with Highways England to ‘green up’ Option 30. Simplified or Greened Up Option 30 was evolved which - deletes the direct link road to Birdlip (none of the tunnel options have a link road) - keeps the roof on the tunnel as it passes below the Air Balloon car park - uses green flanked bridges where possible along the route for gain in biodiversity interconnect At no stage has taking the road below the Air Balloon site (using relatively low cost tunnelling methods such as at Hindhead) been considered as part of the consultation. In January 2019 Ramblers became concerned about the direction of proposals for the scheme & agreed that landscaping funds should be used to ‘green up’ the new road in preference to the current one.
