    KNIGH'ILOW HUNDRED KENILWORTH DIVISION. 741 The NORTH WARWICKSHIRE HUNT has been established mainly through the exertion of the Right Hon. Lord Leigh, and other noblemen and gentlemen in the vicinity of Leamington. It com­ prises a large pack of hounds, and is supported by subscriptions. The kennels have been erected about 1 mile from Leamington on the Kenilworth road. Another pack of hounds is kept at Atherstone, but the meets do not take place near to Leamington, in consequence of which railway conveniences are made during the season. FISHING and BOATING. Good pike fishing may be had in the River Learn and Avon, and boats may be hired at the Mill, and at the bridge at Emscote. The scenery along the banks of the rivers is very picturesque, and an hour's rowing will well repay the lover of nature. The WARNEFORD HOSPITAL. In 1825 an hospital was founded in Regent-street. Being confined 'in its situation, and too small for the number of patients, at the annual general meeting, in April, 1831, the propriety of erecting a new one having been considered, a sub­ scription was entered into for that purpose, which, in about twelve months, exceeded the sum of £2,500, including the handsome donation of £1,500 and a further sum of 1000 guineas by the Rev. Dr. Warneford, Rector of Burton-on-the-Hill, Gloucestershire, and his sister, Miss Warneford. Thebenevolencethusmanifested, together with a grant of land, on the Radford road, by the Earl of Aylesford, was followed by an unanimous resolution that a new building should be erected on the site named, and in honour of the Rev.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire: Mancetter, Sapcote
    PI.ATE I. HIXCKLEY BUST Scale : J. (Height 15i inches) THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART II MANCETTER (MANDUESSEDUM) SAPCOTE, BARWELL AND HINCKLEY WITH NOTES ON ADJACENT SITES Mancetter (Manduessedum) Plate II THERE seems to have been little difference of opinion among early historians as to the site of the Manduessedum of the Antonine Itinerary. The well-defined earthworks astride the Watling Street near the village of Mancetter conform in plan to other recognised Roman stations and approximately to the distance north of Venonse (XII m.p.) given in the Itinerary. Although many Roman antiquities have from time to time been unearthed in this neighbourhood, it was not until 1927 that any systematic investigation had been carried out to fix the station site definitely. About this time, Messrs. Flowers & Sons, I«td.—the owners of the Bull Inn—were contemplating the construction of a car park adjoining their premises. Fortunately, the earthworks had been scheduled by H.M. Office of Works under the Ancient Monuments Act of 1913, and, as the Bull Inn is entirely within the ramparts, no alterations could be made without their sanction. As the time seemed opportune for investigation, the Birming­ ham Archaeological Society offered to excavate the site in question. This was carried out under the supervision of Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, who published his report in that Society's Transactions of 1928. The ground excavated measured 106 ft. by 36 ft., with its longest axis parallel to and adjoining the Watling Street.

  • ROMANO-BRITISH RURAL OCCUPATION at the CATTHORPE INTERCHANGE, M1 JUNCTION 19, LEICESTERSHIRE Nicky Garland
    ROMANO-BRITISH RURAL OCCUPATION AT THE CATTHORPE INTERCHANGE, M1 JUNCTION 19, LEICESTERSHIRE Nicky Garland Archaeological investigation undertaken between November 2013 and February 2014, at the Catthorpe Interchange, M1 Junction 19, Leicestershire, revealed evidence for two phases of Roman activity. A series of quarry pits was followed by two enclosures, droveways and field boundary ditches, indicating the presence of a probable agricultural complex. A moderate assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered, with more closely datable forms suggesting a Middle Roman date for the assemblage as a whole. Extensive medieval ridge-and-furrow agriculture had truncated much of the earlier archaeological evidence. INTRODUCTION Between November 2013 and February 2014, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) undertook a programme of archaeological mitigation for the Highways Agency at the Catthorpe Interchange, Junction 19 of the M1 Motorway, Leicestershire (site centred on NGR: 456021 278863; Fig. 1). The work, undertaken ahead of upgrades to the motorway junction and local road network, consisted of a strip, map and sample excavation (with which this paper is concerned), a trial trench evaluation (CA 2015a), a watching brief and an earthwork survey. The surrounding landscape is comprised mainly of arable and pasture fields between the villages of Swinford and Catthorpe, Leicestershire (Fig. 1). The area of excavation lies at approximately 115m AOD, with the ground level dropping away to the south. The underlying geology for this area is dominated by the Blue Lias Clay and Charmouth Mudstone Formation, formed in the Jurassic and Triassic Periods (BGS 2017). The superficial geology along the northern and eastern boundary of the site consists of glacial till, with some evidence for river terrace deposits to the south.

    Strategic regional water resource solutions: Preliminary feasibility assessment Gate-1 submission for Grand Union Canal Transfer SRO Date: 05 July 2021 Template version: draft 10, 9 February 2021 ST Classification: OFFICIAL PERSONAL Attention: Mr Paul Hickey Managing Director Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development Ofwat City Centre Tower 7 Hill Street Birmingham B5 4UA 01 July 2021 Grand Union Canal (GUC) SRO Gate 1 Submission Dear Paul Affinity Water, Severn Trent Water and the Canal & River Trust are pleased to submit our gate-1 report for the GUC Transfer Strategic Resources Option (SRO). The report outlines how we have developed this SRO since its approval in the PR19 Final Determination, and the key steps we intend to take in gate-2. Through this SRO and our proposals for the Minworth SRO, we intend to transfer water from Minworth wastewater treatment works to the Grand Union Canal and into the Affinity Water supply area, supporting customers in the South East of England with up to 100Ml/d of water in times of need. We are proposing to upgrade the Grand Union Canal for the transfer, and to abstract, store and treat the water downstream before it enters Affinity Water’s supply area. Utilising existing canal infrastructure will allow us to provide value for money and to enhance the recreational value of the canal for local people. Our cross-industry team, including personnel from Affinity Water, Severn Trent Water and the Canal & River Trust, has been delighted to make this contribution to strengthening the UK’s water infrastructure and creating a legacy of resilient water resources for future generations.
