  • The First Parish Book of St. John the Baptist Coventry 1734 - 1752
    The First Parish Book of St. John the Baptist Coventry 1734 - 1752 Births Marriages & Burials The Damaged Text by W.A. Bottrill The First Parish Book of St John’s Coventry is kept at Warwick Archives. It is on restricted access as the early pages have badly faded (some pages appear to be completely blank to the naked eye!). Having ancestors in Coventry around the time this register was compiled, I was naturally interested in the contents! Firstly I looked to see if someone had made a copy of the book at Coventry archives, but it appears it has not been transcribed; next I viewed a film copy of the actual register also in Coventry archive. This shows why there is no transcription as pages have deteriorated badly over the years, it is almost impossible to keep track of the entries and dates, compounded by worn film and equipment. I understand these films at Coventry archives were produced by the L.D.S., or a company working for them, in the 1960’s. Next I looked up the Bishop’s Transcripts (they are also on film at Coventry archives) but unfortunately, I found these records only start at 1752 for St John’s, it appears the earlier rolls have been misplaced or lost over the years. These transcripts would have been a copy of the register (I was even more convinced that my missing ancestors would be in this damaged section of the parish book!). I did not want to give up on this just yet, so e-mailed Warwick archives and asked if l could view the actual register, hoping that the L.D.S.

  • RFC Coventry Foleshill
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Coventry Foleshill branch is closing on Friday 31 May 2019 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Coventry Foleshill branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 88% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 28% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 68% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 27 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Chris Payne, your Community Banking Director for West Midlands & Warwickshire.

  • Restart of Dentist Services in Coventry – Access to Emergency and Routine Treatment 17 August 2020
    Restart of dentist services in Coventry – access to emergency and routine treatment 17 August 2020 Introduction In the first two weeks in August 2020 we looked at the information about dental services available at Coventry dental practices following their reopening to patients. NHS England announced that dentists could re-open to patients from the 8 June 2020. However after being closed for so long there is a backlog of patients needing treatment and dental practices have to operate using PPE to ensure that treatment is safe and does not spread the Covid-19 virus. We gathered information from dentist’s websites where they had them and made phone calls to the practices which did not have dedicated websites. What we found The information below was correct at the time we produced this report however the situation is changing and therefore the services available from individual dental practices are likely to change. We gathered information from 31 of the 33 local dental practices in Coventry. 25 dentists provided information that they treat NHS patients or some categories of NHS patients. Most of these are taking new NHS patients, but this may be for emergency treatment only. 4 of the NHS dental practices are doing routine dental treatments as well as emergency work and one is doing routine treatment but not scale and polish. 17 NHS dental practices are treating dental emergencies. A further 2 are providing phone advice. The information for one practice was not clear. 10 dentists do not have a dedicated website. The website of one practice was not working.

    The Jephcott Family – Chapter 6 – Family BR _____________________________________________________________________________________ Family BR The Ansty Jephcotts Page 6.BR.1 An Account of the Family 6.BR.6 Jonathan Jephcott 6.BR.14 Dr John Jephcott 6.BR.25 The Kislingbury Connection 6.BR.27 The Family Tree ___________________________________________________________________________________________ The Jephcotts of Ansty The Warwickshire parish of Ansty lies four miles north east of Coventry. In 1086, and probably earlier, Ansty (with Foleshill) was one of the estates of the Countess Godiva, more well known as Lady Godiva who rode naked through the streets of Coventry, for a reason that now seems obscure. This story starts in the late 15th century with the first mention of a Nicholas Geffecote who was named as a customary tenant of Ansty manor in the fifth year of the reign of King Henry VII, in the year 1490. This term 'customary tenant' was, as the description implies, an individual who held the tenancy of property in the parish in accordance with the customs of the parish. Terminology was loosely applied in these days and he could also have been described as a 'copyhold tenant' or 'tenant in kind'. Whatever type of tenancy he held, he would have been a yeoman farmer, gaining his living from his crops and livestock. Ansty Parish Church England was, at this time, moving away from the harsh regimes imposed on the common man by the Lords of the manors, serfdom, villeinage, etc and we do not know how Nicholas came to be a customary tenant. We would expect 6.BR.1 The Jephcott Family – Chapter 6 – Family BR _____________________________________________________________________________________ that he acquired his tenancy on the death of his father, but no records have been found to support this theory.

  • St Laurence, Foleshill Coventry Parish Profile
    ST LAURENCE, FOLESHILL COVENTRY PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 23 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION I am always humbled when I see the faithful ministry of priests in UPA parishes, who quietly and without fuss get on with the job of extending God’s kingdom in these tougher areas. I am sure that the good work these priests do ‘in secret’ will be rewarded in heaven! St Laurence Foleshill is such a parish. It has been well-served by its previous incumbent for 25 years, who is about to retire, though the parish wishes to stress that ‘we wish to affirm to candidates that we are not expecting styles of ministry to be replicated.’ We are looking for another priest who feels called to what, for many, may look like an unrewarding ministry – until actually engaging in it and finding it extremely rewarding and fulfilling, despite the hard work. The parish of St Laurence has very good connections with the local Church of England school, and loads of potential for mission and ministry as a parish. Their Sunday congregation is numerically quite small, and has potential for growth. Their Messy Church appears to be thriving. Our Diocese has a clear Mission Purpose - to worship God, make new disciples and transform communities. We aim to achieve this by improving the health of churches in 8 Essential Quality areas which you can read about in the Parish Profile. We would welcome applications from candidates who would like to join with us in this vision, worked out on the ground in the streets of St Laurence, Foleshill.
