  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

I would like to thank three groups of people who have helped to make my job pleasant and enjoyable. To all members of Oswestry Ramblers for their support and encouragement, to all the walk leaders for their time and effort in giving us such a varied and interesting programme and to the members of the committee, past and present, for their support and work during my four years, so THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. The AGM is set for Tuesday 28 November, 7.15pm, at Whittington Cricket Club. Please come and see if we can have more members there than ever. The new walks programme is out and if there are any dates vacant, apart from those over Christmas, that will be due to the programme co-ordinators having less walks offered as our pool of walk leaders is diminished. We need members to see if they have a favourite walk they would like to offer to lead for the next programme. Thank you all once again and have good walking. Colin Chandler, Chair of Oswestry Ramblers Area News This will be replaced with a regular half-yearly newsletter. Dates for Your Diary • 28TH NOVEMBER 2017 GROUP AGM 7 pm for 7.15 pm at the Whittington Cricket Club.

  • The Sheriffs of Shropshire," Has Entered at Considerable Length Into the History of the Ancient Family of Thynne, Otherwise Botfield, Or Botevyle
    468 THE FAMILY OF 'l'HYNNE, OTHERWISE BO'l'FIELD. THE Rev. J. B. Blakeway, in his account of "The Sheriffs of Shropshire," has entered at considerable length into the history of the ancient family of Thynne, otherwise Botfield, or Botevyle. He has correctly discarded the idea, originating with Matthew Paris, that the first recorded ancestor of this family, Geoffrey Botevile, was a native of Poictou, and that he settled on lands in Stretton, in the county of Salop, given him by the Earl of Arundel,' .and which lands were afterwards called by his name of Botevile: the fact being that the family, instead of giving their name to the place, derived their surname there• from; and the various members thereof are, upon all the ancient Court Rolls of the manor of Stretton, described as Bottefeld of Bottefeld, although in later years the branch of the family which continued to reside there adopted the orthography of Botevyle, by which name the place itself is now usually known. Mr. Blakeway himself has, however, fallen into several errors in the detail of the family; and his admission that Sir Ralph de Theyne, knight, who was examined in the great plea of arms, Lovel v. Morley, in 1395, might have belonged to this house was certainly made without any sufficient reason : for the name of Thynne was unknown in this distinguished Shrop• shire family until after the division of the family estates in the manor of Stretton in 1439, when Thomas Bottefeld settled his copyhold lands at Bottefeld upon his younger son John Botte• feld, the ancestor of the line thereafter resident on that estate, and his eldest son William Bottefeld adopted for his residence the mansion or inn a at Stretton, to which the freehold lands of the family, with various detached copyholds, were attached, and thus formed a separate estate and residence for himself and his descendants.

The Liberties and Municipal Boundaries The Domesday ‘city’ (civitas) of Shrewsbury included nine hides identifiable as the townships of its original liberty. To the south of the Severn they included Sutton, Meole Brace, Shelton, and Monkmeole (Crowmeole), and to the north Hencott.1 The location of a further half-hide, belonging to St Juliana’s church, was described by Eyton as ‘doubtful’,2 but may refer to the detached portions of St Juliana’s in Shelton.3 More obscure, as leaving no later parochial trace, was a virgate in Meole Brace which belonged to St Mary’s church.4 The Domesday liberties, however, were not settled.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • The Following Pages Are Transcripts of Conversations That Were Recorded in the Late Eighties. They Record Some of the Details O
    The following pages are transcripts of conversations that were recorded in the late eighties. They record some of the details of life in Hadnall in the twentieth Century along with some of the “characters” of the period. My family used to live at Whitehurst in Astley Lane and later at 25 Shrewsbury Road and lived out there days there. I was born there; I left school on a Friday and started work at Hardwicke stables on the Monday as a groom. Jim Bowdler’s uncle was chauffeur to Mr Bibby; they em- ployed seven chauffeurs and about forty grooms. There were a lot of horses, they were the stables for the North Shropshire Hunt, but the hounds were kept at Lee Bridge. I was there for about four years and then I went to Leicestershire. My father was carpenter on the estate all my life, he made gates and rails. Everybody who left school in Hadnall always went to work on the estate. I should think a least two dozen people worked at the Hall; there were parlour maids, ladies maids, kitchen maids, footmen and also there was about a dozen men in Hardwicke gardens. When I was a youngster I hated horses and steam- rollers, then I left school and went to work at the stables. When I came back from the war, I went to work on Bradley’s van. My mother came from Lancashire, Widnes; my grandparents lived at Acton Reynald Lodge. Father was a bit of a mystery, to tell the truth. I suppose he was a Shropshire man but we never knew where he came from.
