    7 Action Projects The following section of the Neighbourhood Plan outlines action projects identified which would benefit the community. It will be for the parish council and local people, working with key agencies such as Wiltshire Council to deliver these action projects over the coming years. This section of the Neighbourhood Plan will not be examined as part of the Neighbourhood Plan, however, it does pick up on key issues identified by the community during consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan, and issues identified in the evidence base. Action projects are included on the following themes: - Housing - Economy and Employment - Tourism - Traffic and Transport - Cemetery expansion - Youth Facilities !23 Housing Surveys of community opinion have shown clearly that highest perceived priority is affordable housing, especially for younger families. Because of the local market prices, affordable in practice means Social Housing, which is in the hands in North Wiltshire of various Housing Associations. The future policies of these Associations are currently (2018) under review, but none intend at present to replace in the Parish any local stock sold. A July 2017 Wiltshire Council Housing Needs Survey Report assessed the current needs as 14 additional subsidised rental and shared ownership homes. This survey did not include those local families who have already been driven out of the Parish by high market prices, but which would like to return. There are no sites available even within the recently (2018) extended Settlement which could meet that need in mixed estates. Furthermore, although there is currently no imposed Housing target for the Parish, there probably will be in the period up to 2036.

BRAILSFORD. Great Bedwyn is at tlie present time a little village in the county of Wiltshire. It must formerly have heen of larger importance, con- sidering that it sent two members to parliament. Traces of Roman occupation have from time to time been discovered, and a tesselated pavement was one of the antiquities long preserved. A spiked head of a mace made of bronze was found in a well and exhibited some few years since at a meeting of Arcliieologists held at Salisbury. The church is now the principal feature in the place, and has unfortunately undergone very extensive restoration. In the churchyard is a stone cross, and though, as usual, the summit has suffered mutilation, the shaft, pedestal, and steps are in good preservation. In the interior of the church there are several interesting monuments, particularly those connected with the great Seymour family.
  • Jane Seymour 1509 – 24 October 1537

    Jane Seymour 1509 – 24 October 1537

    Jane Seymour 1509 – 24 October 1537 Jane was the eldest of the eight children of Sir John Seymour of Wolf Hall, Savernake, Wiltshire and his wife Margaret, daughter of Sir John Wentworth of Nettlestead, Suffolk. According to court gossip and an inscription on a miniature by Nicholas Hilliard she was born about 1509, probably at Wolf Hall. There is unsupported evidence that as a young woman Jane was a maid of honour to Mary, queen of Louis XII of France, who was Henry VIII's sister. She was subsequently appointed as lady in waiting to Catherine of Aragon and, on Catherine's divorce, to the same role with Anne Boleyn. She was described as of middle stature , of no great beauty, of pale complexion and commended for her intelligence. In February 1536, Henry VIII was writing to her with dishonourable proposals as well as money which Jane returned to him with the comment that her honour was her fortune. It appears that Jane was only prepared to withstand his suggestions unless she was his wife. It was his anxiety to set Jane in Anne's place that ensured that legal proceedings were taken against the latter. Jane at this time kept herself removed from the king outside London. Before 15 May 1536, the date of Anne Boleyn's trial, Jane moved to a house on the Thames and was brought news of Anne's condemnation and beheading four days later. It is understood that Archbishop Cranmer issued a dispensation for the marriage that day and the betrothal took place the following morning.

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families

    Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families

    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.
