  • Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2
    Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2 Mountain bike (or walking) route from the Blue Ball around Leighfield and back. This peaceful route takes you up and down a set of hills and valleys to the south of Braunston. The first couple of miles are on-road, the rest is predominantly on well-surfaced tracks but also on wide, grassed ways. There are gates, but no stiles to cross. The Route: Ride Time 1 hour, Elevation Gain: 705 ft., Distance 7 miles Park near the Blue Ball (1) then, if you're standing at the pub looking towards the churchyard, head off left and then immediately downhill to the right, following the signpost to ‘Leighfield and Ridlington’. Passing the stream to your left, keep on the road and head up the hill. You are now on Wood Lane which you will need to follow for about another mile. At the top of the hill (2), follow the road left and then go down the next hill. As you cycle up the following hill, you will see road sign near the crest. At the sign, you will see that the right-hand turn is signposted ‘Leighfield Lodge, No Through Road’ (3), take this turning and carry on. When you come across a gate in the road (4), go through the gap just to the right and continue heading straight down the tree-lined avenue that is Leighfield Way. At the bottom, you will find yourself at Leigh Lodge (5). Here you must follow the zig-zag in the road, left and then right.

  • Royal Forest Trail
    Once there was a large forest on the borders of Rutland called the Royal Forest of Leighfield. Now only traces remain, like Prior’s Coppice, near Leighfield Lodge. The plentiful hedgerows and small fields in the area also give hints about the past vegetation cover. Villages, like Belton and Braunston, once deeply situated in the forest, are square shaped. This is considered to be due to their origin as enclosures within the forest where the first houses surrounded an open space into which animals could be driven for their protection and greater security - rather like the covered wagon circle in the American West. This eventually produced a ‘hollow-centred’ village later filled in by buildings. In Braunston the process of filling in the centre had been going on for many centuries. Ridlington betrays its forest proximity by its ‘dead-end’ road, continued only by farm tracks today. The forest blocked entry in this direction. Indeed, if you look at the 2 ½ inch O.S map you will notice that there are no through roads between Belton and Braunston due to the forest acting as a physical administrative barrier. To find out more about this area, follow this trail… You can start in Oakham, going west out of town on the Cold Overton Road, then 2nd left onto West Road towards Braunston. Going up the hill to Braunston. In Braunston, walk around to see the old buildings such as Cheseldyn Farm and Quaintree Hall; go down to the charming little bridge over the River Gwash (the stream flowing into Rutland Water).

  • 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.
