  • Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol
    Players and Performances in Early Modern Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol SARAH ELIZABETH LOWE A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Sciences February 2008 i ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the responses in the early modern period of civic and church authorities to local and visiting groups of players in Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol. It is also an examination of the venues in which these groups performed. Reactions to these groups varied, and this study explores how these, both positive and negative, were affected by economic, legal and cultural factors. The thesis proceeds chronologically, and is thus divided into twenty-year intervals in order to draw the most effective comparisons between the three urban centres over a number of decades. The first period under examination, the 1560s, records the early reaction of the three settlements to the phenomenon of the Elizabethan travelling company. The relationship between the regional authorities and the patrons comes to the fore in the second period, the 1580s, as the dominance of the ambitious Earl of Leicester grew in the region. Legislation decreeing the withdrawal of mayoral control over itinerant troupes at the close of the sixteenth century, the third period, released civic officials from previous obligations and this influenced the level and character of their hospitality towards the ‘noble’ companies. Although evidence is scarce, the records of Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Bristol contain clues to an attitude towards these entertainers during the reign of James I, the final period under scrutiny.

The Twyning Neighbourhood Development Plan (TNDP) must be in line with higher level planning policy, namely the 2012 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the adopted development plan that at present comprises the saved policies of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan to 2011. (adopted 2006) (TBLP) In January 2014 Twyning Parish Council (TPC) was successful with its application to Tewkesbury Borough Council (TBC) to designate the Parish of Twyning as a Neighbourhood area. The NDP reflects extensive consultations with the people of Twyning and others with an interest in the Parish, and the consideration that their views have been given.

  • Inscriptions in the Abbey Church
    The Monumental Inscriptions in the Abbey Church The earliest document to record any of the monumental inscriptions in Tewkesbury Abbey is “History in Marble” by Thomas Dingley, compiled during the reign of Charles II (1660 – 1685). This volume is in manuscript, and was published in facsimile in two volumes by the Campden Society in 1868. Tewkesbury is to be found in Volume Two. In 1750 Ralph Bigland commenced his monumental work “Historical, Monumental and Genealogical Collections relative to the County of Gloucestershire”. This recorded the monumental inscriptions in most of the parish churches in Gloucestershire, but by the time of Bigland’s death in 1784, none of his work had been published. His son and two colleagues continued his work, and it was published in instalments between 1791 and 1899. They visited Tewkesbury during Scott’s work of restoration (1875 – 1879), but were unable to check the inscriptions on the stones in the floor of the nave as it was “entirely covered with Matting and Chairs”. They make the comment that “In the course of this Work [of restoration] much of the flagging has been removed in the Choir, Transepts and Chancel, and thus the means of verifying Bigland’s account of the flat stone Inscriptions taken away”. They also refer to a Notice for a Faculty regarding the removal and re-erection of monuments, and the placing of upright head stones flat on the ground. This citation, which is in the Gloucestershire Archives, is dated 30 th April 1878, and was affixed to the door of the church on 5 th May 1878.

It has been brightened up with new paintwork and new windows and doors. The kitchen has been thoroughly modernised and the steps re-done with wheelchair access. The new central heating looks very promising! The bar area looks smart. The outside surface has new tarmac and solar panels are fitted on the roof. A ‗Grand Opening‘ is planned for 11th—12th November. See more photos on P 31 We have had several events on the Green this summer, notably the TRAC Fete and Barn Dance, but there was also the annual motor bike gathering and the Morris Dancers. We have two ‗Local Persons‘ this time: Stan Warner, who was born at School Farm and lived here most of his life and Freda Jefferson who was evacuated here in the war to stay with relatives and has returned here on retirement. There is an article about plane trees: most of you will recognise our two large trees on The Green as planes, also often found in capital cities. There are the usual reports from all the very many clubs and organisations that we have here in the Village. You will see that the name Walton appears from time to time! But we would much prefer to see your name here in the Bulletin.
