Following a successful first year in 2019, we are now looking to recruit volunteers for the Original Shrewsbury Ambassadors 2020 programme to help visitors discover the wonderful hidden gems our town has to offer. Ambassadors are active on Saturdays (10am – 2.30pm) and Sundays (11am – 2.30pm) from April to September and there is plenty of flexibility around how much or how little time you are able to give. Based out of Shrewsbury Museum’s Volunteer Hub, with support from the Visitor Information Centre, the aim of the Ambassadors is to provide visitors to Shrewsbury with a warm welcome and a wide range of information, supplying their invaluable local knowledge to help visitors make the most of everything the town has to offer. Town ambassadors will be the face of Shrewsbury, and a very important welcome to the town for visitors. Why not get involved and be part of something special?

SERVING THE PARISHES OF ALL SAINTS’ HOLY TRINITY ST MARY’S 50p Per issue Baschurch Weston Lullingfields Hordley Introducing your new curate Hello, my name is Steve Alston. I am to be the new curate for the bene- fice starting in late summer. Some of you might remember me as I did a 10-week placement with you in the summer of 2018 as part of my ordi- nation training. I remember how warmly I was received by you all and am looking forward to getting to know you all better. Linda has asked me to tell you a bit about myself so here goes. I was born in London and spent most of my life there. Ten years ago, I moved to Shrewsbury with my wife Rosie and two sons Jack (now 20) and Ben (now 19). Both Rosie and I are teachers, Rosie in primary school and I in secondary. We both spent many years working in inner London compre- hensive schools. Currently Rosie works for the Shropshire Music Service and I at Concord College as a Biology teacher. I have a passion for the natural world and, in a former life, worked as a research scientist in the Natural History Museum in London. Of all God’s creatures, fish are my favourite and most of my research was on fish and their diseases. Family holidays also usually involve nature, we love climbing the Welsh peaks, sailing on the Norfolk Broads and peering into rockpools in north Devon.

The Liberties and Municipal Boundaries The Domesday ‘city’ (civitas) of Shrewsbury included nine hides identifiable as the townships of its original liberty. To the south of the Severn they included Sutton, Meole Brace, Shelton, and Monkmeole (Crowmeole), and to the north Hencott.1 The location of a further half-hide, belonging to St Juliana’s church, was described by Eyton as ‘doubtful’,2 but may refer to the detached portions of St Juliana’s in Shelton.3 More obscure, as leaving no later parochial trace, was a virgate in Meole Brace which belonged to St Mary’s church.4 The Domesday liberties, however, were not settled.

    Appeal Decision Site visit made on 25 March 2019 by Alexander Walker MPlan MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 15th April 2019 Appeal Ref: APP/L3245/W/18/3219326 The Old and New Stations, Leaton Hall Junction B5067 to Station House Junction, Bomere Heath, Shrewsbury SY4 3AP • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Lord Ambrose Colan Langley-Ingress against the decision of Shropshire Council. • The application Ref 18/00543/FUL, dated 31 January 2018, was refused by notice dated 27 September 2018. • The development proposed is the change of use and extension of existing building to provide a single dwelling, with associated access and curtilage arrangement. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Main Issue 2. The main issue is the effect of the proposal on the non-designated heritage asset and the character and appearance of the area. Reasons Non-heritage Asset 3. The appeal building is a waiting room building known as ‘The New Station’, with ‘The Old Station’ being the station house to the south. Together, these formed part of the historical Leaton railway station. The building is of red brick construction with blue brick quoins and window surrounds with prominent decorative brick chimneys. Due to its modest size and simple form, the building is clearly read as being subservient to the larger Old Station. This also reflects the original functional relationship between the two buildings. There is no dispute between the parties that the building is a non-designated heritage asset.
