  • Two Prehistoric Enclosures at the Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 130 (2012), 31–61 Two Prehistoric Enclosures at The Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire By DONNA E.Y. YOUNg and JONAtHAN G.P. ErSKINe1 With contributions by ElAINe MOrrIS, Peter MAKey, ANdrew ClArKe and KAtH HUNter Publication drawings were prepared by Lynn Hume from originals by Davina Ware and Vicky Patrick INtrOdUctION The excavation at The Beeches, carried out in the summer of 1999 in advance of residential development by Bryant Homes (South West) Limited, followed a staged programme of geophysical survey, desk-based study and trial excavation (Erskine 1995b and 1997). The site covers a former playing field on the outskirts of Cirencester, c. 1 km to the east of the city centre (Fig. 1), now Pheasant Way and North Home Way. The project was designed to record fully archaeological deposits previously located, centred at SP 037022, indicating a significant multi-period prehistoric site with episodes of occupation during the Middle Bronze-Age and Early Iron-Age periods and provided secure dating evidence for crop marks first investigated in the 1970s (Reece 1990). Evidence of three periods (six phases) of archaeological activity, from the prehistoric to the modern era, was identified. Four phases in Period I related to prehistoric activity. Throughout the site, the features had been truncated by subsequent ploughing and modern levelling (Fig. 2). The Prehistoric Activity: Period I Phase I.1: Mesolithic [c. 10000–4000 BC] A small, but significant assemblage of Mesolithic flints, including scrapers, retouched flakes, a bladelet and an obliquely blunted point, comprising c. 12% of the total flint assemblage (The Flints, below), was recovered, largely from Area A (Fig.

  • Westgate Street High Street Heritage Action Zone Educational Resources Through Time
    Gloucester Westgate Street High Street Heritage Action Zone Educational Resources Through Time Background information showing the key time periods covered: ROMAN GLOUCESTER Gloucester began as a Roman town. It lies at the first point where the river Severn can be easily crossed, so it was a natural place to build a town. About 49 AD the Romans built a fort to guard the river crossing at Kingsholm. In 64 AD they built a new fort on the site of Gloucester town centre. About 75 AD the Roman army moved on, but the site of the fort was turned into a town for retired soldiers. The new town was called Glevum. Roman Gloucester was laid out in a grid pattern. In the centre of the town was a forum. This was a market place lined with shops and public buildings. However in the 4th century Roman civilization went into decline. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD. Afterwards most Roman towns were abandoned. SAXON GLOUCESTER After the Romans left Britain it is thought that Gloucester was probably abandoned, although there may have been a small number of farmers living inside the walls and farming the land outside. The Saxons captured Gloucester in 577 AD after they won a battle against the native Celts. We do not know if there were people living in Gloucester at that time. In the late 7th century the Saxons founded a monastery at Gloucester and the town began to revive. Craftsmen and merchants came to live in Gloucester once again. In the early 8th century a writer called Gloucester 'one of the noblest cities in the kingdom'.

  • BARNWOOD HOUSE and GROUNDS by Hugh and Rosemary Conway-Jones
    Reprinted from Gloucestershire History N0. 18 (2004) pages 32-35 BARNWOOD HOUSE AND GROUNDS by Hugh and Rosemary Conway-Jones The original Barnwood House, on the south side of the road to Cirencester, was built as a gentleman’s residence sometime during the first five years of the nineteenth century.1 It was a square block of three storeys with two full-height bays on the garden front, a service wing to the west and a semi-circular drive at the front.2 It was built by Robert Morris of nearby Barnwood Court, a partner in the Gloucester bank of Turner & Morris and MP for Gloucester from 1805 to 1816.3 It is unlikely that Morris built the house for his own use as he had recently undertaken considerable improvements to the Court,4 and so it is possible that it was intended for his son Robert. However, Robert jnr set up home in Cheltenham where he ran a branch of the bank,5 and by 1808 Barnwood House had been purchased by Sir Charles Hotham Bart. Sir Charles had inherited the family baronetcy of South Dalton near Beverley, Yorkshire, but his estate there was entailed.6 As he had recently married a young bride and he was not in good health, it seems he wanted a property where she could continue to live after his death.7 As well as buying the land immediately associated with the house, Sir Charles also purchased neighbouring properties fronting on to the turnpike road together with the field between those properties and the Wotton Brook and some fields to the south of the brook.8 One difficulty was that a public footpath ran across the field '- close behind his house, which may have been the reason why the house was built so close to the main road.

  • 2017 Repor T
    2017 REPORT Introduction to Vital Signs to Vital Introduction It is a pleasure to commend this first Gloucestershire Vital Signs Report to you. The majority of people living in the county want to live in an area where everyone has the opportunity to flourish physically, intellectually, mentally and spiritually. However, this report highlights the fact that there are significant inequalities in our midst. Nor everyone, for example, has the same access to adequate housing. Fuel and food poverty exist. There are different health outcomes for people living within a few miles of one another. Nevertheless with courageous and concerted effort it is possible to address these inequalities: the task is not easy but we owe it to future generations to tackle them now. I am delighted that the Gloucestershire Community Foundation and the Barnwood Trust have collaborated to produce this report. It provides evidence of the most pressing needs within the county and I trust it will be used to guide our charitable giving into the future. I am in no doubt that by collaborative effort across statutory and voluntary organisations we can address some of the most pressing social and economic inequalities which blight our county. Dame Janet Trotter DBE, Lord Lieutenant for the County of Gloucestershire and President of Gloucestershire Community Foundation Barnwood Trust has been pleased to support the development of this first Vital Signs report by the Gloucestershire Community Foundation, and we applaud their initiative in bringing this information together. These reports, produced now by many of the national network of Community Foundations, provide a valuable insight into the local context for grant-giving.

  • HL6.1C Barton & Tredworth Timeline
    HL6.1c Barton & Tredworth timeline The Romans build a new fortress built on the present c AD 65 day city centre. A road, called Ermine Street, is built out of the city heading east towards Cirencester. c AD 97 Foundation of Roman Colonia Nervia Glevensium. Eva, abbess of St Peter‟s Abbey, is granted extensive lands outside Gloucester‟s city wall by Eldred, a sub-King of the Hwicce tribe (part of Kingdom of Mercia). The c AD 720 land is mostly situated along the southern side the old Roman road to Cirencester. It becomes known as Barton Abbots (the term „barton‟ means „lands of the manor‟). c AD 1051 In order to provide the Royal Palace at Kingsholm with food and provisions, Edward the Confessor takes over a large farm estate along the Roman Cirencester road, mostly on the north side and includes the River Twyver. It becomes known as the Royal manor or King's Barton. AD 1085 William the Conqueror establishes the tradition of spending Christmas at Gloucester, which is maintained by most Kings until the 1400s. While at Gloucester in this year, William orders the compilation of the Domesday Book, a huge project to list and record the value of his new kingdom. AD 1086 Domesday Book records the following for the manors of Barton: The land of the King: In „Barton‟ King Edward had 9 hides, 7 of these were in demesne and there are 3 ploughs and 14 villains and 10 bordars with 9 ploughs. There are 7 slaves. Of this manor 2 free men hold 2 hides and they have 9 ploughs.

  • A Brief History of the Parish of St Patrick, Brockworth, for the Altar Servers by Richard Barton (Copyright)
    A brief history of the Parish of St Patrick, Brockworth, for the Altar Servers by Richard Barton (copyright) Some of the members of the Archconfraternity of St. Stephen at St. Patrick’s Brockworth 1989c This short article was compiled as a brief parish history for the boys who served at the altar. We had recently set up a branch of the Archconfraternity of St. Stephen and we had about twenty enrolled members at that time. Near to Brockworth Court is the ancient Church of St. George which was consecrated in 1142. It is well worth a visit because, before the Reformation, Catholic Mass would have been celebrated here, regularly, as this was the Parish Church. The church and manor were owned by the priests of Llanthony Priory, which was situated between the present Docks in Gloucester and the village of Hempstead. These priests were Augustinian Canons and they lived at the Priory until it was disbanded in 1539, during the reign of King Henry VIII. All that now remains of Llanthony Priory are some ruins. The Reformation was a complicated period in England’s history and, I am sure, you will study it at school. As a result of it church services were altered and statues, stained glass, vestments 1 and other ornaments were removed from churches. Not everyone approved of these changes and, one such person, was William Webley, a farmer of Droy’s Court, Brockworth, who was captured with the martyr, St. Edmund Campion, in 1581. He was released from prison a week later because, unlike Campion, he agreed to attend the new style services at the Parish Church.
