  • Frampton on Severn Lies on the East Bank of the River Severn Approximately Ten Miles South of Gloucester
    Frampton on Severn lies on the east bank of the river Severn approximately ten miles south of Gloucester. With a population of around 1200, it is the largest village in the Berkeley Vale and boasts the longest village green in England. Reputedly this was used as a practice area for medieval bowmen, was the site of a parliamentary garrison in 1643 and the local militia, formed in 1795 to combat the threat of invasion by Napoleon, regularly drilled up and down its half mile length. FRAMPTON REMEMBERS WW1 has been inspired by the Gloucestershire Remembers WW1 project. We shall look at the effects of the Great War on our village and its inhabitants by drawing on extensive archives from a number of public sources. We will combine these with the private records of the many families whose connections with the village are still maintained. THE WAR EFFORT Chocolate was considered to be a great morale booster during WW1. Cadbury Bros Ltd opened a factory in Frampton on Severn in 1916 which helped to produce chocolate for the soldiers in the trenches. Cadburys started up a number of recreational and sporting clubs in the village, many of which still exist today. German prisoners of war extracted gravel, making some into concrete building blocks. One of these became a memorial to a colleague who died. Gravel from Frampton was also used in the construction of Chepstow dockyard during the war. The gravel pits are now lakes which are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their varied wildlife and habitat. SCHOOL LIFE The death of our pupil teacher, Frederick Robert Hitchings, was a bitter blow to those at school.

  • Whitminster Parish Council Technical Response to Stroud District
    Whitminster Parish Council Technical Response to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review Draft Plan Additional Housing Options Consultation OBJECTION ON HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT ISSUES TO PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATION REFERENCE WHI014 AT GROVE END FARM GROVE LANE WHITMINSTER Technical Report 29633/2A January 2021 Whitminster Parish Council Technical Response to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review Draft Plan Additional Housing Options Consultation Objection on Highways and Transport Issues to Proposed Mixed Use Development Allocation Reference WHI014 at Grove End Farm Grove Lane Whitminster Introduction 1. This technical report has been prepared on behalf of Whitminster Parish Council (the Parish Council) in respect of the “Stroud District Local Plan Review Draft Plan, Additional Housing Options” dated October 2020. 2. The main settlement of Whitminster Parish lies off the A38 on the western side of the A38 with the crossroads with Grove End Lane being the existing main focus for the services for the village. The proposed allocation would be a significant “bolt onto” the settlement that would shift the centre of the enlarged community much further to the east. 3. A detailed set of reports including this report, which considers highways and transport issues, have been commissioned by the Parish Council in response to Stroud District Council’s (the Council’s) Draft Local Plan Additional Housing Options public consultation process. A Planning Assessment has been prepared by MSP Town Planning and Architecture, and that has been separately submitted. 4. The reports are in respect of a proposed mixed use development allocation at Grove End Farm, Grove Lane, Whitminster.

  • 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.
