  • The Painswick Beacon
    The Painswick Beacon Sine praeiudicio Volume 33 Number 5 August 2010 Artsfest There can be few who are unaware of Painswick currently presenting its creativity in exemplary fashion. Last Saturday heralded in no uncertain 'fashion', to those who live here, and more importantly to hundreds of those who live elsewhere, the scope of talent we are inclined to take for granted. We witnessed the 'flip side' of the doldrums which afflicted this community across recent times, with such devastating effect, floods with lengthy highway reconstruction, horrendous winter conditions all but isolating this village, and then the essential but wholly inconvenient replacement of the gas main straight through the heart of the settlement. Just as art and craft reaches the peak season, and as Painswick is the chosen location for exhibition of the highest skills in so many aspects of creativity, a truly memorable new approach to trumpeting that month or so had been devised in the form of a show-casing of 'Wearable Art'. The imagination of over 30 who responded that day to interpret design and extravagantly imaginative creations, whether bizarre or even just humorous, all compered by Keith Allen, fully lived up to expectations; a challenge to repeat in future years. Three main themes set were 'Lamb to Loom', 'Queen of the Cotswolds', and 'Power Dressing', but an additional challenge was on offer in the 'Bra-tastic' - creation of a bra which lived up to the wildest of dreams. The Beacon suggests they all X-celled. Coupled with the peels of bells from St Mary's, Morris Dancers, busking and jazz guitarists, the closure of central streets and dual focus upon Victoria Square and The Cross enabled all to be show-cased and the public to enjoy the 'production' to the full.

  • The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 (Mphil
    The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 Alexander Higgins A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Historical Studies, November 2012. 24,884 words. Abstract After a fifteen-year campaign, Gloucester became an independent head port in 1580. This effectively ended Bristol’s long-standing jurisdiction over the Gloucestershire reaches of the River Severn and resulted in the loss of the greater part of Bristol’s historic port. This dissertation explores Bristol’s objections to this change and examines the prosecution of their complaints through the equity side of the Exchequer court. Primarily, this study focuses upon two commissions created by the Crown to review the case. The interrogatories and depositions produced by these commissions are used to explore the nature of this dispute, the motivation behind Bristol’s objections and why Gloucester ultimately retained its head port status. The first chapter focuses upon the practical implementation of the commissions. Rather than relying upon the legal records alone, this study uses letters, accounts and reports produced by the two parties to explore the workings of a commission. This approach reveals the extent of Bristol and Gloucester’s attempts to manipulate proceedings to their own advantage. These findings have significant implications on the impartiality of Tudor legal process and the reliability of the Exchequer records. The second chapter examines the findings of the two commissions to assess the nature and strength of Bristol’s arguments. It is shown that many of these arguments were unsubstantiated.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Severn Tidal Tributaries Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Severn Tidal Tributaries catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Severn Tidal Tributaries CFMP is one of 77 CFMP’s 2,562 properties and 6,000 people at risk in the for England and Wales. Through the CFMP’s, we have catchment in a 1% flood event. However, it is expected assessed inland flood risk across all of England and that both of these figures could rise quite significantly Wales for the first time. The CFMP considers all types within the next 100 years by which point some 3,720 of inland flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface properties and 7,000 people could be affected by water and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly flooding in a 1% event.

  • The Introduction of the Tin-Plate Industry to the Lower Wye Valley and the Newerne Valley of the Forest of Dean
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2003 pages 3-9 THE INTRODUCTION OF THE TIN-PLATE INDUSTRY TO THE LOWER WYE VALLEY AND THE NEWERNE VALLEY OF THE FOREST OF DEAN. Pat Morris Even a fairly cursory examination of the details given in the censuses of 1841 and 1851 for Lydney shows that there were very many incomers among the Lydney residents. The biggest group of incomers were those working at the iron and tin plate works in 1851. The population of Lydney, and particularly the number of employees of the tin plate works, increased appreciably between 1841 and 1851. The significance of these works for the growth of Lydney between those dates was evident. Relatively little published material about the early period of that industry’s growth could be found. Much more of what is available relates to the late 19th century Richard Thomas ownership. This study originated in an attempt to find more about the growth of the Lydney tin works in the early period, the origins of its employees, their skills and the dynamics of their settlement in and impact on Lydney. The Development of Tin Works in the Forest of Dean Lydney’s iron industry was long established and particularly significant in the 17th century, but Lydney was not one of the early sites of the tin plate industry. A very interesting sequence of the spread of tin plating around the lower Severn becomes apparent. In South Wales tin plate making was established in Pontypool and Kidwelly in the early 18th century.(1) Rowland Pytt, in 1731 described as of Lydney, ironmaster, took the lease of Ynys- y-gerwn tin works near Aberdulais, Glam.
