Grand Firework Display 2019 Version It’s just a few days now until Bonfire Night (as if you needed telling!) so here’s a reminder that this year’s Village Hall Firework Display is to be held on the evening of Sunday November 3rd, with the gates open from 4 pm, the bonfire lit at 5.15 pm and the display itself at 6 pm. If you haven’t already bought your tickets, these are available (until November 2nd) from the Village Shop at £4 per adult and £1 per child age 1 to 16. Remember that tickets bought at the gate on the night cost more, at £6 per adult and £1.50 per child. On the evening itself there will once again be a raffle for the right to set the firework display alight and, as ever, an outdoor barbecue by the Football Club and food and drinks available in the Hall and the Social Club. There will be a number of stalls in the hall, put on by village organisations. Outside there will be a fairground ride and stalls, and also sparklers to buy on the tennis court. Please note that personal sparklers and fireworks are not permitted. One further plea – the event places quite a strain on the flow of traffic through the village. There will be no parking up the Village Hall drive from 3.30 pm onwards (but Blue Badge holders please ask at the gate). Can we please encourage all who possibly can to arrive on foot, and make life that bit easier for attenders and non-attenders alike? Village Hall Management Committee 5 A TIME TO REMEMBER ONE hundred years since the Treaty of Versailles, 80 years since the start of the Second World War - the anniversaries come thick and fast. War and peace are constantly in our thoughts. The Versailles treaty was sealed in 1919 in the Hall of Mirrors at the historic French palace. Signed by the leaders of the main allied nations, including Lloyd George of Britain, Clemenceau of France and Wilson of the United States, it effectively ended the First World War, though the peace lasted barely 20 years before Hitler led Germany into the 20th century’s second great conflict in September 1939. “Strange,” Clemenceau was depicted as saying in a famously prophetic cartoon at the time of the Versailles signing. “I can hear a small child crying.” Almost a million British and British Empire personnel died in the Great War. Now we who are left, remember. The Remembrance Sunday church service at Cottesmore starts at 10.50am on Sunday November 10. There will also be services at Greetham and Thistleton. On the same day the Civic Wreath-Laying and Parade is held in Oakham. Rutland is proud to be a county with a strong military presence, having good links between the civilian and military populations, both serving and veterans. Its main commemoration of the day is at the Civic Remembrance Service on Sunday November 10 at 2.30pm at All Saints church, Oakham, which is preceded by a march through the town by representatives of the Armed Forces and uniformed organisations, starting at 2pm. The earlier 10.30am parish communion at All Saints will include the two minutes silence at 11am. The afternoon service will be followed by an Act of Remembrance and wreath-laying at the War Memorial in the churchyard. The following day (Armistice Day, Monday November 11) prayers will be said, and the Last Post sounded at 11am, as part of a brief service on Oakham High Street near the Crown Arcade. Remembrance Services will also be held across the Oakham Team Ministry at Langham, Braunston, Whissendine, Ashwell and Market Overton (all shortly before 11am to accommodate the two-minute silence). Villages with earlier services include Brook, Hambleton and Teigh.

  • Agricultural Change and the Development of Foxhunting in the Eighteenth Century*
    Agricultural change and the development of foxhunting in the eighteenth century* by Jane Bevan Abstract This article explores the development of ‘modern’ foxhunting in the eighteenth century, focussing partic- ularly on the East Midlands and Suffolk. The relationship between landscape change and foxhunting is examined by looking in detail at the hunting careers of leading foxhunters and where they chose to hunt. Hunting diaries and enclosure records are used to challenge the received view that enclosure and the spread of grassland stimulated the new style of hunting. For the last 45 years, historians of both the landscape and foxhunting have attributed the rise of foxhunting as a fashionable sport in the eighteenth century to the shift from arable to grassland following enclosure by parliamentary statute. Bovill was the first to note the link, writing in 1962, ‘but for enclosure foxhunting would never have become a popular sport’. This view was echoed by Patten in 1971 and repeated by Longrigg and Carr in their respective histories of English foxhunting published in consecutive years in the mid-1970s. Longrigg commented on the ‘1,539 private enclosure acts … [resulting in] the improvement of the countryside for foxhunting … [with] large well fenced fields of permanent grass’. Hugo Meynell (1735–1808), hunting in Leicestershire, is generally recognized as the ‘father of modern foxhunting’ and Itzkovitz connected Meynell’s improved hound breeding explicitly to the post-enclosure change in land use: ‘The new speed of Meynell’s hounds was perfectly suited to the large expanses of grass which made Leicestershire … the best hunting-ground in England’.

Forsaking history, and breathing the atmosphere of the field, every chapter happily blends the past with the present. On every page we meet the names of friends who have hunted with one or other of the packs up and down England during the past quarter of a century. Profusely illustrated throughout, the author seizes passing events and impressions while in the full enjoyment of a hunt, and each chapter has its complete story for those who would pass a splendid interval with some favourite pack of hounds.

  • Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire
    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.
