Description Smiths Corner is a delightful period village house built of Cotswold stone and believed to date back to the mid 18th century. Although not listed the house is full of period character and detail. Apart from the heavy elm staircase there are stone mullion windows, oak floorboards, pine doors, open fireplaces, window shutters, exposed stone work and exposed timbers throughout. These features blend with new appointments to make for a very comfortable family home, of versatile layout and with the advantage of a large village garden. A wide reception hall divides two reception rooms and off which is the utility,. The sitting room has a raised fireplace with woodbuning stove and fitted display shelves and cupboards to either side. There is also access through to a rear hall off which is a cloak/shower room and box room and a glazed door leading into the courtyard. On the opposite of the hall is the Drawing Room with a dressed stone fireplace having fitted book shelving to either side. The room leads directly into the Dining Room which is a perfect entertaining room with a raised stone fireplace at one end. There are also fitted display shelves under which is a wine cooler and a fitted dresser. Adjoining is the kitchen/breakfast room which is well fitted and includes a pantry cupboard as well as good range of floor and wall cupboards. Like the dining room there is a glazed door into the courtyard as well as a further outside door. A secondary staircase leads up to a separate wc and a guest bedroom suite separated from the remainder of the house. On the first floor there are three bedrooms with a fourth presently being used as a dressing room to the main bedroom. They are complemented by three luxury bath/shower rooms, one being ensuite to the main bedroom. A substantial fitted linen cupboard is found off the main landing. Two further bedrooms are found on the second floor and are divided by a spacious landing / library area with built in bookshelves. This space could be used as a study or children’s tv area. The courtyard is totally walled and provides a sunny and sheltered sitting out area, perfect for outside entertaining. It is very easily managed and incorporates raised flower beds and a paved barbecue area. Across the lane from the house is the main garden with a double garage having a studio room above. In the past this has been used as a work area away from the house and benefits from a separate BT phone line. There is parking for numerous cars to the front, a rarity for village houses. The whole garden extends to about 0.4acres, is mainly lawned and includes maturing trees and shrubs as well as fruit trees (pear and apple). In one corner is a garden store. For the keen gardener there is tremendous potential whilst for a family there is plenty of space for diversionary activities.

  • PREFACE in 1974 Enid and I Decided to Look for a House of Our Own As I
    PREFACE In 1974 Enid and I decided to look for a house of our own as I was due to retire in 1976. Gloucestershire we knew was a nice county in which to live. We had certain connections with it. On our days off we frequently toured the Cotswolds, we were then living in Henley-on-Thames. Added to this, in about 1910 my father considered buying the practice at Northleach and so becoming its local doctor, however, he went to Weobley in Herefordshire. His father, James Strachan Clarke who died in 1976 aged 45 or 46 had been a tenant farmer at Ashwick Grange, Marshfield and apparently the Land Agent of the people living at Ashwick Hall. Unfortunately, the records of ownership of the Hall were destroyed in the Bristol blitz during World War II so I know nothing about them. In the parish church there is a brass plate concerning him. The name is incorrect, he is called James Stephenson Clarke, this was an error on the part of my Aunt Agnes, his eldest daughter. In 1775 a certain John Clarke married Jane Stephenson, she is alleged to be the beauty of the Clarkes (though I would think, judging from the pictures, that my wife Enid, runs her a close second and is probably ahead of her). The name Stephenson became attached to the Clarkes until the present day. After a long search we saw a photograph of our cottage in the premises of Bloss, Tippett and Taylor of Bourton-on-the-Water and in 1976 bought it from Mr.

  • Magistrate Court (Petty Sessions) Records
    Magistrate Court (Petty Sessions) Records Background Petty Sessions Courts, now known as Magistrates Courts, dealt with minor criminal cases, licensing, and civil matters. Although they existed in the 1600s, no records before the 1800s have survived. Originally there were four divisions based on the grouping of various “hundreds” (ancient groupings of parishes). These divisions were reorganised in 1840, although some earlier records survive from the old districts. Some districts were merged in the late 20th century. The Petty Sessions dealt with the licensing of alehouses, highways, appeals against poor rates, adoptions, bastardy cases, and minor crimes (usually those which carried up to a 2 year sentence). What records are there and what information will they contain? It was not until the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 that standard registers and recordkeeping was put in place. Earlier records developed casually and vary between districts. Survival rates for each district vary widely. You will need to check the catalogue to see what has survived. The collection may include: Type of Record Ref. Information Minute Books M A more detailed account of the court than the summary jurisdiction registers. Court Registers before 1879 RA Information recorded was not standardised. Summary Jurisdiction & RM1 These list cases heard by the court. They are in Court Registers & chronological order and list the name of the defendant, RM2 informant or victim, the offence, verdict and sentence. Registers of Explosives RM3 Record stores selling explosives and firework factories. Stores Register of Clubs RM5 Clubs which sold alcohol to members required a licence. These are similar to the Alehouse Licences.

Introduction and Background 2. Planning and Policy Context 3. Community View on Planning Issues 4. Vision, Objectives and Land Use Policies 5. Implementation Policies Map and Inset Appendix A: Schedule of Evidence NORTHLEACH WITH EASTINGTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN: MADE PLAN (APRIL 2019) 2 Foreword Northleach is the smallest of the Cotswold district’s market towns, but one with a rich history which belies its size. Established in the 1200’s, it grew to become an internationally recognised wool trading town. The wealth this brought flowed into the church and other old buildings that we enjoy in the town today. With the decline of the wool trade, so the town declined, but re-established itself as an important stopping point for the coaching trade in the nineteenth century. With the growth of traffic and as the route of the old A40 trunk road it became saturated with traffic, eventually relieved with the opening of the bypass in the 1980’s. Thereafter, the town saw considerable expansion with the development of a number of new housing estates such that it, together with its primary school, has nearly doubled in size since the 1980’s. Northleach now faces the same pressures as other areas in the district, particularly for more housing. Earlier development, and that yet to come over the next 20 years or so has not and is unlikely to address the town’s infrastructure needs or the wishes of local people as to where development should take place.
