CASH BOOST ANNOUNCED FOR BUSINESS GRANT SCHEME Even more businesses in Tewkesbury Borough are set to benefit from a popular grant scheme, thanks to a funding boost of £50,000. Businesses can continue to apply for one of the three grants available: • Supporting businesses that operate from home. • Encouraging new business start-ups. • Helping existing businesses to develop and grow. Twyning Borough Cllr. Gordon Shurmer said: “We need to support the local economy as much as we can and the Business Grant Scheme will help to achieve this”. Eligible businesses can employ up to 250 members of staff and must be based within Tewkesbury Borough. To apply for a grant or for more information, please contact the council’s Economic Development Officer Katie Power on 01684 272249 or email [email protected] WIND TURBINE APPLICATION At the time of writing, the above application is scheduled to go before Tewkesbury Borough’s Planning Committee on Tuesday 5th February 2013. However, I would recommend checking with TBC closer to the date to confirm this (phone: 01684 295010). COUNCIL TAX 2013 – 2014 Tewkesbury Borough Council will be setting its Council Tax Precept on the 21st February 2013. I will be continuing to support local residents in these very difficult financial times by voting for a freeze on council tax increases. However, due to Government changes in the new local Government Council Tax Support Scheme, there is a risk that a financial shortfall may be passed on to local taxpayers. Once I have more detail of the implications of this, I will update local residents further in my next report. KEEPING YOU IN TOUCH 4 TWYNING PARISH COUNCIL I hope that by the time you read this the weather will be warmer, I am pleased to report that the Parish Council is once again up to full strength following the co-option of Councillors Raymond (Ray) Edes and William (Bill) O’Dell, whose contact details appear on the Parish Council notice board. We are very pleased to have them aboard. At the Parish Council meeting 0n the 21st January we discussed the budget for 2013/2014 and after careful discussion we agreed a figure slightly in excess of the total for 2012/13. However it was agreed to keep the precept (the amount we request Tewkesbury Borough Council to collect via your council tax) at the same figure as last year. Nevertheless wholly due to last minute directions from Central Government in the way Council Tax is to be calculated does mean that there will be a slight increase in the Council Tax payable. In respect of a band D property there will be an increase of 2.93 per cent which in real terms will be an annual increase of 75 pence. In order to keep the precept the same the Council will use some of its reserves. The Council have been requested to permit a Bonfire and Fireworks display on the Village green in November and this will be considered at the Council meet- ing in the Village Hall on Monday the 18th February at 8.00pm. If you have any views on this matter we will be pleased to hear them at the meeting or you can write to our Clerk Susan Satchell at The Glen, Castlemorton. Worcs. WR13 6BE or email [email protected] or telephone me. Your identity will be treated confidentially but your views may be mentioned in public.. Whilst the Council, via the excellent labours of our Village Warden Dave Luckett, will try and treat the footpaths in the event of snow, we can give no guarantee or assurance that this will always continue to be possible Sadly our Responsible Finance Officer Jim Page, has indicated he wishes to retire and pass on the mantle. To say we will miss him would be the understate- ment of the year, he has served the Council for many years with excellent advice and with a smile at all times. Please see the notice on page 30. Typical of Jim he has offered to help any person taking on the responsibility if they wish. A word of warning I am informed that the latest scam is a phone call from a person claiming to represent the Borough Council relating to a refund of Council Tax, such calls should be ignored. Also there are further reports of the theft of oil from properties in the Village. Please keep a careful eye and report anything you think suspicious to the Police. In conclusion I express my grateful thanks to all those who assist the Council to carry out its duties. Unfortunately space does not me to mention names, but you know who you are! D. Jeremy Horsfall, Chairman. Twyning Parish Council 22nd Jan. 2013 5 DRAINS Adopt a drain today and help prevent the village from flooding. The roadside drains become easily blocked, especially when the plane trees are shedding their leaves or water is running off the fields carrying with it lots of alluvium. If you just sweep clear the drain outside your house, it would have a big impact on the drive to get the water underground. The Parish Council maintains a close working relationship with Gloucestershire Highways, who are very responsive to our needs, but they have a big area to cover with a decreasing budget. If the Parish Council has to call on Highways to provide additional services, such as gully emptying, it will cost the Parish £530 a day, so it would be very cost-effective if we did a bit ourselves. Sewage over-flow. Manhole 1702 Goodiers Lane Residents living in the vicinity of manhole 1702 at the bottom of Good- iers Lane, are reminded that in order to keep Severn Trent’s register of events current, they should ring their Operations Centre each time the manhole overflows. The number to ring is 0800 7834444. Remember to request the clean-up team to attend to remove the debris. Flooding Residents are reminded that the Parish Council has a supply of sandbags which can be pre-filled and retained for use to prevent flooding to their properties. Dave Luckett Village Warden 6 TWYNING VILLAGE HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (“VHMC”) As I write this, my last VHMC meeting was in Sept 2012, as a hip replace- ment put me out of action until Christmas! However, the Hall has been in good hands with Brian Last taking the Chair in October and Jane Bowers in November, and with Maggie Ball, as always, giving her unfailing, on-going support. I would like to thank them all for this, recognising that my role as Chairman is not indispensable! The ‘Food & Craft Fayre’ continues to thrive on the last Saturday of every month and will be a welcome regular event in our 2013 calendar. As reported previously, it is an excellent opportunity for local companies and villagers to get together for a couple of hours to buy or sell their produce and crafts. If you are interested in having a stall, please contact Nicki on 07929 918 415 or [email protected] Two highly successful events took place in the Village Hall during Decem- ber. The first was a spectacular production of ‘Mother Goose’ by the Twyn- ing Players. Well attended over three nights, this pantomime was in my opinion one of the best performances ever staged by the Players. It was great to see so many new young performers as well as youngsters who have appeared in previous productions: the Village has a wealth of talent! Con- gratulations to the Director, Nigel Guilding, and well done to all concerned. The second event was on the Saturday before Christmas when nearly 100 adults and children got together in the Village Hall to sing Carols.

  • 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.
