ANY OTHER BUSINESS (Agenda Point 6) Planning Committee -2- 30 June 2020 a. Tree Planting – Councillor Julie Clarke asked whether a policy for a replacement tree is planted when an application is made for a tree to be removed.

Marks and Spencer Roof Repairs – The Chairman Councillor Carroll raised concern over the large area at the East end of the High Street barriered off with contractor’s equipment.

Action plan 3 INTRODUCTION PARISH PLANS Parish plans are part of the “Vital Villages” initiative of the Countryside Agency, run locally through the Rural Community Council (Leicestershire & Rutland). A Parish Plan should provide a picture of a village, identifying through consultation the concerns and needs of its residents. From the plan villages should identify actions to improve the village and the life of the community. The resulting Village Action Plan is then used to inform the County Council, through the Parish Council. Parish Plans have a statutory place in local government. GREAT CASTERTON PARISH PLAN Great Casterton’s Parish Plan started with a meeting of villagers in June 2002. There was particular interest because of a contentious planning decision imposed by the County Council on the village. The Community Development Officer for Rutland, Adele Stainsby, explained the purpose of the plan and the benefits for the village. A committee was formed, and a constitution drawn up. The Parish Council promised a small initial grant while an application for Countryside Agency funding was prepared. The money granted was to be balanced by the voluntary work of villagers.

  • THE ROMAN and ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY at GREAT CASTERTON: the 1966 EXCAVATION Peter Liddle
    THE ROMAN AND ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY AT GREAT CASTERTON: THE 1966 EXCAVATION Peter Liddle Based on a report by Guy Grainger and Christine Mahany, with contributions from Bernard Denston, Helena Hamerow and John Shepherd This paper, which is based on a completed monograph written by Guy Grainger from notes and records by Christine Mahany, presents the results of an excavation in 1966 of Roman and Anglo-Saxon burials on the north side of the Roman defences of Great Casterton. The main conclusion is that Roman burials, in all probability, continue into the fifth century in an extensive area north of the walled town. At some stage in the later fifth century, Anglo-Saxon cremation burials were buried to the east, while somewhat later (where there is a relationship), Anglo-Saxon inhumation burials are also present. INTRODUCTION Circumstances of the excavation During the course of road-widening operations in Ryhall Road by Rutland County Council in September 1966, F. Rotherham, the foreman in charge of the work, noticed that human bones and Saxon pottery were being disturbed by the mechanical excavator. He immediately informed Nottingham University, and Stamford and Oakham Museums. An emergency excavation was accordingly undertaken, firstly by J. L. Barber of Oakham School Museum and the late Malcolm Dean, and subsequently by Christine Mahany for the Stamford Archaeological Research Committee on behalf of the Ministry of Public Building and Works. The excavation continued for six weeks. The Assistant Supervisor was C. S. B. Young, but otherwise the labour was provided entirely by volunteers. In view of the nature of the emergency it was decided to concentrate the available resources on recovering as much as possible of the plan of the cemetery, and not to attempt to excavate underlying features.
