On occasions the church has been used for concerts, and the two local primary schools have used it for Harvest and Christmas celebrations. The church is kept open daily from 9.30 am to 6.00 pm for all visitors to find peace and quiet, and for prayer and lighting of candles. It is the only church building in the area. There is no school attached to the church. Church Centre The church centre is used for church activities on Sundays and during the week, and for special church social events throughout the year. It is widely used by the community for social events and by a number of non-church groups during the week. The church and church centre provide a focal point for the community and is a reminder of the history of Up Hatherley and adjacent community of The Reddings. Outline history 13th Century In 1291 the taxation records of Pope of site and building, Nicholas refer to there being a chapelry3 at Up including extent of Hatherley linked to the church of Holy Trinity, any major Badgeworth. restoration 16th Century A valuation of church property undertaken by Henry VIII in 1535 confirms the existence of a chapel. In later years the chapel disappeared (site unknown).4 Kelly’s Directory of Gloucestershire 1885 refers to Up Hatherley as once having an ancient chapelry.5 It states that the church was destroyed in 1640, and the inhabitants of the area attended Saint Paul’s Church, Shurdington. The first parish register of Saint Paul’s has entries of baptisms and burials of Up Hatherley residents dating back to 1559. 17th to 19th Century For over two hundred years Up Hatherley was without a church or chapel. By the mid- 19th Century Up Hatherley was a small parish of only 100 persons, and was loosely attached to the Parish of Badgeworth with Shurdington and Bentham.6 At that time the Revd W.H. Gretton and his wife Laura resided in Up Hatherley. Owing to failing health and finding it difficult to attend the church at Badgeworth, Mrs Gretton planned to have a private chapel built adjoining her house. When residents asked if they could attend the proposed chapel, she decided to personally fund the building of a parish church. 19 November 2014 2 Statement of Significance – Church Saints Philip & James Parish Church, Up Hatherley & The Reddings The church was designed by J. H. Middleton, H. A. Prothero and G.H. Phillot of Westminster and Cheltenham, and cost £2,000 to build. 1885-86 On the feast of Saint John the Baptist, 24 June 1885, Mrs Gretton laid the foundation stone of the church. It was consecrated on Easter Tuesday (27 April) 1886 by the then Bishop of Gloucester, the Right Revd Charles Middleton. At its consecration, the Parish of Saints Philip and James, Up Hatherley came into being. Revd Canon E. L. Jennings was the first vicar of the reconstituted parish, who was of a moderate Anglo-Catholic tradition.7 In the 1950’s Mrs Gretton’s family gave the living of the parish to the Church Union.8 1895 West window depicting Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, by Heaton, Butler and Baynes. 1896 Six chancel windows depicting (north to south): (i) the birth of Saint John the Baptist (on whose festival the foundation stone of the church was laid); (ii) Christ being baptized by John; (iii) Christ teaching his disciples; (iv) the Crucifixion; (v) the Resurrection;(vi) the Ascension, by Heaton, Butler and Baynes. 1900 Pipe organ in the chancel behind the choir stalls. It cost £200 and was made in Cheltenham by A. J. Price. 1904 Wrought-iron chancel screen, by Prothero. 1904-10 Nave windows, three in the north nave wall depicting (the door to screen): (i) King David and King Solomon; (ii) David’s commander Joab; (iii) Ezra and Nehemiah returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple (reminder of the rebuilding of a church in Up Hatherley), and four in the south nave wall (screen to west wall opposite the door): (i) Christ in the midst of children; (ii) the Resurrection; (iii) the Good Samaritan, (iv) Christ blessing people, by Heaton, Butler and Baynes. 1952 Aumbry9 with blue enamelled plaque of the Lamb of God was set into the north wall near the altar. 1977 North porch refurbished. 1979 Church bell replaced. 19 November 2014 3 Statement of Significance – Church Saints Philip & James Parish Church, Up Hatherley & The Reddings 1984-85 One hundred years after the church had been built Up Hatherley and The Reddings had become a suburb of Cheltenham, with a population of over 10,000 inhabitants. The PCC decided to build an extension to the church. The plans for the extension proposed that the axis of the church would be turned ninety degrees, facing south rather than east. The congregation would surround an altar on three sides, positioned in a new sanctuary area. The existing nave would be partially used as a display area and for seating for a large congregation. The chancel and sanctuary of the old church would remain, and be used as a side chapel. In addition, the church extension would lead into a parish social centre/club for the community, which would include a large hall, kitchen, cloak room and toilet facilities, a flexible storage area and a licensed bar. A common lobby and central meeting area, which could be used as an extension of either the church or the centre, would link the church and centre. A mezzanine gallery would be suspended over the meeting area to house a new organ and musicians.10 The architects, Falconer Partnership and Barnwood Builders, oversaw the substantial extension. Work began in November 1984, and completed in the summer of 1985. The south nave wall was removed, and the church was extended to the south and southwest. The re-ordering resulted in the church now having two main entrances, one from the west in the extension, and the other being the north porch. A ventilation turret in the roof was also removed. Some of the stained glass windows from the south nave wall were installed elsewhere in church. Windows depicting the Resurrection and the Good Samaritan were incorporated in the wrought-iron chancel screen. The window depicting Christ in the midst of children was placed in the chancel clerestory, and the one with Christ blessing people, placed in the nave clerestory. Gates were added to the wrought iron screen, and chains on the new south wall suspended a very large wooden cross, made out of the wooden beams of the old church, over the new sanctuary area.11 The original carved stone pulpit and the Caroline font were both destroyed. Pews were all removed and replaced with plastic seats. 19 November 2014 4 Statement of Significance – Church Saints Philip & James Parish Church, Up Hatherley & The Reddings The pipe organ in the chancel was dismantled; its fate unknown. Most of the church furnishings placed in the new sanctuary were second-hand. The development cost in excess of £250,000 and provided only a basic shell. Shortage of funds prevented completion of both the church and centre. The church extension was consecrated on Saturday 21 September 1985, by the then Bishop of Gloucester, the Right Revd John Yates. 1986 Englebement of the new church car park (formally the garden of the old vicarage). 1991 The north porch blocked. 1992 The late-19th Century gate and a section of wall were removed from their original location at the front of the churchyard (west) and re-erected to the east of the churchyard, at the entrance from the car park.

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • Up Hatherley Parish Council Review of Green Spaces in the Parish
    UP HATHERLEY PARISH COUNCIL REVIEW OF GREEN SPACES IN THE PARISH A review of green spaces within Up Hatherley parish for Gloucestershire Rural Community Council and Cheltenham Borough Council including recommendations for Local Green Space areas to be incorporated within the Cheltenham Borough Local Plan. A report by the Open Spaces working group comprising:- Parish Councillors: Stuart Fowler Roger Whyborn Sarah Bamford Richard Johnes Version 6 6th January 2015 Page 1 UP HATHERLEY PARISH COUNCIL - REVIEW OF GREEN SPACES IN THE PARISH 1. Executive Summary, and Background to this report 1.1) Cheltenham Borough Council (CBC) has commissioned a process to produce a new Local Plan, to cover all aspects of Planning Policy within the borough. This will sit under the Joint Core Strategy (JCS), and will supersede the now out of date 2006 Local Plan. 1.2) At its full Council meeting on 9th April 2014, which approved the final pre-consultation draft of the JCS, CBC determined to conduct a review of green spaces across its area, with a view to establishing which spaces would be suitable for designating as Local Green Spaces (LGSs) within the meaning of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), paragraphs 76-78. This is a new designation for green space which gives a level of protection to appropriate spaces akin to that which would apply if they were Green Belt, and the qualifications are closely defined. 1.3) CBC subsequently appointed Gloucestershire Rural Community Council as its agent to assist in this review, and to consult with Parish Councils and community groups. Following a presentation to Up Hatherley Parish Council (UHPC) on 4th November 2014 by GRCC, the Parish Council established a working group to review all of the green spaces within its boundaries, with a view to deciding which ones were appropriate to be put forward as Local Green Spaces.
