A couple of days ago I watched a programme on BBC 2 - Alex Polizzi: the Fixer. In this programme Alex visits struggling small businesses and offers them the benefits of her extensive experience. This week she was at Heck Sausages in Yorkshire, owned by the Keebles, a family of farmers. They were losing money hand over fist and needed to make their products more viable whilst not compromising the quality of their sausages. One of the problems was that, although Tesco’s stock their products, they will only pay a certain amount for them. On the best sausages, 97% meat, they were making a huge loss. The solution turned out to be to make their own seasoning rather than buying it in. The family spent time working on seasonings until they came up with one which was every bit as good as, if not better than, the one they were buying….but cost almost £5 per kilo less! When Tesco’s renewed their contract they were thrilled and their brand is now in other supermarkets as well. A happy ending, then, for this Yorkshire farming family. But there is a big issue here. The large supermarkets can dictate the prices they will pay farmers for their produce and we saw a backlash against this not too long ago when dairy farmers picketed depots in support of their demand to be paid a decent amount for the milk they produced. If the supermarkets offer less than it costs to produce not only milk, but any foodstuffs, how can farming survive in this country? If farmers are squeezed out of business by the large players we will have to rely on imports for our food and that doesn’t seem to me to be a sustainable solution. Living as we do in a rural area, amongst the farming community, I am sure that we all understand the problems our farmers face. But we are part of that problem. We want more and more for less and less. If we are to help support our farmers we have to be prepared to pay a fair price for British milk, fruit, meat and vegetables. We need to be prepared to pay extra for Welsh lamb, rather than the cheaper New Zealand imports….just one example. Our farmers deserve our support. Let’s make sure they have it! And I hope you will all give Heck sausages a try! Susan Calling all singers! It’s that time of year again, when people begin to exercise their vocal chords in preparation for the Carol Services! There will be a Bredon Hill Group Advent Carol Service as usual on Sunday 30th November at 6.00pm at Eckington Church and people from around Bredon Hill are invited to come along to prepare for that service. Rehearsals will begin on Sunday 26th October in Eckington Church at 3.30pm (please note earlier start time) Enthusiasm is all that is required! Page 3 OVERBURY & CONDERTON REMEMBER 1914 The weekend to commemorate the start of World War I took place in Overbury on 16th and 17th August. As always, the Village Hall proved to be an excellent central venue. The recently refurbished “bar” became a projection room for a rolling slide show giving background information about the village in the early years of the twentieth century with photographs of buildings and some of the people who lived here in those days accompanied by a commentary duet provided by Ted McWhirter and Faith Hallett. The Committee Room was transformed into a research centre with a world map showing where those from our villages were killed, computers and scanning equipment and copies of census documents going back far into the 19th century. Visiting relatives and Penelope Bossom spent many hours eagerly exchanging information and making more discoveries. In the main hall an energetic team coordinated by Angelina Rooney produced an unending supply of delicious home-made cakes, quiches and salads. The ladies of the village were very, very kind with the making of cakes, I had 24 in total and all of excellent quality. The hall also provided wall space for one of the highlights of the weekend: a remarkable and exquisitely crafted quilt created by School Lane resident, Teresa Carpenter, with squares made by contributors from far and wide, even the USA - see page 10 for more details. Outside the hall on Saturday, straw craftsman David Packwood (who had been brought up in Overbury) travelled over from his home in North Worcestershire with some of his wonderful corn dollies and eager onlookers learned a few of the basic techniques. The new School Hall was also open with a display of work on the Great War done by children of every age, a film of their World War 1 production last term and various activities for young and old. St Faith’s Church featured a range of displays depicting various aspects of village life as well as one window which paid homage to all those who had gone to fight. Many fascinating artefacts and items of memorabilia were exhibited, including a wedding veil and christening robe of the period, as well as some stunning floral arrangements. Sally Stringer from Beckford Stores and Jane Firkin from Westmancote were very welcome contributors from other congregations – and Sally deserves special thanks for letting us have the flowers at cost. The pillars were used to exhibit some of the recruitment posters of the time with contemporary songs providing background music. The choir stalls proved to be a perfect place to examine folders giving information about some of the villagers who had gone to fight – and those with military interests could watch a fascinating film describing the British Expeditionary Forces’ first few months of the war. Around 65 people from a number of families researching their roots had tea at Overbury Court where they swapped stories with each other over a delicious tea. As Penelope Bossom says “It was wonderful to see so many families from all over the country return to their roots. There were relations of Attwoods, Ancills, Perks, Whittles, Turners, Weavers, Stanleys, Higgins and Glynns, to name but a few, and we made some amazing discoveries. It brings home that we must all get our own photographs properly identified and family stories written down or recorded.” On Saturday evening, Dr Marjorie DesRosier from Washington School of Nursing in Seattle gave a fascinating talk in St Faith’s on L’Hopital Temporaire at Arc-en-Barrois in France. This hospital was set up, after a great struggle, by some very determined Voluntary Aid Detachment ladies, led by Madge and Sue Bromley-Martin who were sisters of Eleanor Holland-Martin – all of them brought up at Ham Court near Upon on Severn. The weekend finished on Sunday evening with a special service of commemoration designed by Christine Clark, conducted by the Rev Susan Renshaw with Canon Matthew Baynes leading the intercessions. We were delighted to welcome a large congregation of 83 people. David Marsh and Bill Kyle, from Teddington and Alstone respectively, joined Chris Clark and Sharron Baldwin in reading poetry and a rousing bible passage from the Book of Joel.

He found himself in another county that was already no more than a memory by the time of Domesday Book THE LOST COUNTY OF Winchcombeshire Last summer I was invited by the Worcestershire branch of the Young Archaeologists’ Club to an exhibition of their field work on a site near Broadway on the edge of the Cotswolds. They had spent many hours walking a ploughed field, recording the results and analysing the finds, many of which are Roman and show that there must be a Roman farmstead in the field. It is an exemplary project. This visit took me to a part of the country which I find very attractive, not really the Cotswolds (which I don’t really like – too flat and featureless for me) but just off the northern end, on the edge of the valleys of the Severn and Avon. It is an area of flat fields and small isolated hills. On the edge are the towns and villages of Tewkesbury and Bredon to the west, Evesham to the Opposite: Bredon, Above: Abandoned north and Winchcombe to the south.

  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

Home Choice Plus has been developed by a number of Local Authorities and Housing Associations working in partnership. Home Choice Plus is a way of allocating housing and advertising other housing options across the participating Local Authority areas. (Home Choice Plus will also be used for advertising other housing options such as private rents and intermediate rents). This booklet explains how to look for housing across all of the Districts involved in this scheme. Please see website for further information. Who is eligible to join the Home Choice Plus register? • Some people travelling to the United Kingdom are not entitled to Housing Association accommodation on the basis of their immigration status. • You may be excluded if you have a history of serious rent arrears or anti social behaviour.
