  • Enquiry Form 2018 12/03/18
    12/03/18 Chandos & Dent’s Almshouses Registered charity No 1168158 Chandos & Dent’s Almshouses provide accommodation for people of limited means and good character who live in the Area of Benefit, with preference being given to those who live in the Parish of Winchcombe. Almshouses fall outside the provisions of the Housing Act 1996. If you live in an Almshouse, you are known as a resident, or a beneficiary. You sign a Letter of Appointment, not a Tenancy Agreement. Instead of paying rent, residents pay a Monthly Maintenance Contribution. Residents are expected to live as part of the Almshouses community, respecting the needs of their neighbours. A resident who ceases to qualify to live in an Almshouse is asked to leave. This rarely happens, but could occur, for example if they receive a large inheritance, seriously breach their Letter of Appointment or if they need a level of care which cannot be met in their home. Who qualifies to live in the Almshouses Residents should be people who in the opinion of the Trustees • live in the Area of Benefit at the time of their appointment, with a preference being given to people who are residents within the parish of Winchcombe. Area of Benefit means the Borough of Tewkesbury including the town of Winchcombe and the parishes (or former parishes) of Alderton, Brockhampton, Didbrook, Hawling, Prescott, Stanley Pontlarge, Stanway, Sudeley Manor, Cowley, Coberley, Up Hatherley, Leckhampton, Prestbury, Swindon, Cutsdean, Temple Guiting, Toddington, Guiting Power and Sevenhampton, all in the County of Gloucestershire. • have limited financial resources and not more than £20,000 in cash and other assets.

  • Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (Copyright Rests with Richard Barton)
    Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (copyright rests with Richard Barton) An exhibition of ecclesiastical and related history to mark the millennium of the County of Gloucester in 2007 These texts for the displays were produced by Brian Torode and together they offer a picture of the story of Christianity in the county during the last thousand years. In many ways these simple and succinct texts offer an overview of many of Brian’s historical interests – Cheltenham history, the Oxford Movement, holy wells, pilgrimage, religious communities, church architecture and liturgy. The BEGINNING OF THE SECOND MILLENNIUM By the beginning of the 800s there were monasteries – mission settlements – at Beckford, Berkeley, Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve, Deerhurst, Twyning, Westbury, Winchcombe, Withington and Yate. 1 Some of these communities owned large amounts of land. Little churches were built near to the centre of population and the clergy from the monasteries served them. It was at about this time that the Diocese of Worcester was formed, and included that part of present day Gloucestershire east of the Rivers Severn and Leadon. West of those rivers was part of the Diocese of Hereford. From 1062-1095 the saintly Bishop Wulfstan was Bishop of Worcester and therefore Bishop too of most of Gloucestershire. During the 1150s and beyond, many churches and chapels were built on monastic lands to serve the hamlets and villages. The gentry too built their own chapels on their lands and expected their servants and tenants to attend it. In return for serving these churches and chapels the monasteries were granted tithes, left property in the wills of the gentry, or given land and property in gratitude for services rendered or as a way of seeking a favour from the Church.

  • E:\Guide to Sites for CW Register.Wpd
    Site Locator for Register of Charles Wesley’s Preaching Introduction The list which follows on the next page provides location details for the sites mentioned in the register of Charles Wesley’s preaching. Sites range from cities, to villages, to hamlets, to manor houses. They stretch across England, Ireland, and Wales; as well as Wesley’s short trip to North America. The general format of the location description is: village, county/shire, nation. For smaller sites, reference indicators of proximity to larger sites are often included. Charing Cross is used as the traditional center for London in such proximity descriptions. Sites in England and Wales were identified using the online Gazetteer of British Place Names. This register uses the traditional county/shire name for sites, both to reflect how Wesley would have known the site and in keeping with preferred historical practice. Those who wish to know the modern “administrative county” (as used on Mapquest, for example) will find this listed too in the online Gazetteer. Gazetteer of British Place Names: http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/ The Gazetteer also references the grid location for each site on the standard Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain (Landranger Series, 1:50 000). After each site in England or Wales we list the number of the OS map that contains the site, and the grid reference. There is another online site where you can plug in the grid reference and see the map which contains the site Geograph: http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/ Neither the Gazetteer nor the Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain cover Ireland.

  • Dewponds and Tures
    View this email in your browser Contents News 2020 Diary Tower Close Stanley Pontlarge Dewponds and Tures NEWS On the 27th May the Chair of the Board of Trustees, Jonathan Russell, wrote to the Museum volunteers to bring them up to date with the present plans for the re-opening of the Museum:- “I want to give you an update as to our current status and our plans for the immediate future. I last wrote to you back in April. At that time we had just closed the museum and were working hard to secure funding while we remain closed with a somewhat uncertain future. I am happy to report that through the JustGiving campaign, Friends donations and grants we have received over £20,000. Although £5,000 short of our target this is a superb achievement and has put us in the black and onto a firm footing to re-open when the time comes. In the short term our two staff, Verity and Helen, remain furloughed and we continue to explore additional fundraising opportunities. More recently though, the focus of our Covid-19 recovery meetings - you will be pleased to hear - has been the re-opening of the Museum. We are putting together all the necessary arrangements for health and safety, taking advice from government and industry best practices. For example we expect to install a perspex screen around the desk and have PPE equipment available for staff and volunteers. Our timeline for reopening is as follows (subject to change): Step 1 (August): Staff return in some capacity - Museum remains closed.
