Standards Committee. Our outside Letter to the Editors - Volunteers please! As a recently arrived resident of Stone (moving into Vale Orchard in December 2015) I am dismayed to discover the volume of traffic going through the village on the A38 and the speed at which it does so. In the medium-to-long term, we must surely have a good case for a lights-controlled zebra crossing, for the benefit of the young and not-so-young, particularly in view of the location of the primary school. This would both slow down the speeding traffic, of which there is anabundance, and greatly increase safety. In the short term we should at least have a team of speed spotters prepared to put in a few hours a week. I would willingly contribute to, and even coordinate, such a group if the necessary volunteers can be found. Perhaps these proposals could be discussed at your next parish council?

Please, if you see anything suspicious happening, report it. So putting your postcode on your more expensive tools does pay off! There has been a spate of shed robberies in the area. 4 Why’s it called Church View? This is a perennial question in Newport where Thomas Lord Berkeley founded two chantries the cul de sac of houses off the A38 is called between 1329 and 1332 in honour of St Church View. You can see the church at North Maurice. It would seem that one of these was Nibley from some parts of the village but there situated in Newport, but there is no way of is a closer explanation than that.

  • THE STALKINGHAM NEWS the Local Newspaper for the Parishes of Alkington and Ham & Stone Issue 99 December 2020
    THE STALKINGHAM NEWS The Local Newspaper for the Parishes of Alkington and Ham & Stone Issue 99 December 2020 WITH CHRISTMAS coming up soon it is difficult to come to terms with the huge changes to our lives since last Christmas. It does seem a long time ago and the difficulties experienced by so many people cannot be underestimated. The many uncertainties have made forward planning impossible because there is never enough notice of rule changes. The restrictions on normal activities change so often and sadly infection rates in this area are continuing to rise (as I write this – could have changed by now). The majority of people sticking to the many and varied rules helps but lack of organisation at the top has not helped and the “Cummings Effect” is still being used as an excuse by many. It is sad to see that people who should be setting an example feel the rules do not apply to them. It is particularly difficult for those living away from their families or worse, without families at all, who feel the utter isolation. I have friends who live alone and I do try to contact them both by letter and telephone, but I know that an occasional note is no substitute for a face to face chat. Again we have to thank all those who continue to look after people whether through physical, practical or mental care or who are just keeping the country going, and we can only hope that life will begin to improve soon. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY The Holly and The Rainbow 1 A NOD TO CHRISTMAS as a nosy robin poses for photographs.

PHILLIMORE, M.A., B.C.L. <» PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION / .4 BYJOHN WHITE, STRQUD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. 1892 / Syston Court in 1709: From Sir Robert Atkyns' "Gloucestershire." COLLECTIONS RELATING TO THE Family ? of ? Trotman. :o: rT"vHE surname of Trotman is one which has been long J. characteristic of Gloucestershire. Its origin and signifi­ cance are stillunascertained, for though Smyth, of Nibley,inhis Hundred ofBerkeley traces the family back to Richard Trotman livinginthe time of Edward 11., he gives no authority for the assertion, nor any clue as to the residence of the earlier generations of the family. We know, however, that Elias Trottman was a feoffee of the Church-house at Dursley in 1495, and it is said that Josceline, Bishop of Bath and Wells, 1206-42, was surnamed Trotman. The Trotmans apparently came into prominence in the firsthalf of the sixteenth century, and owed their position, like many other Gloucestershire families, to the manufacture of cloth. Cam was the village with which they were chiefly connected, and the name is still to be found there. From the Trotmans, of Cam, it seems indeed probable that most existing families of the name have descended. " the Description of the Hundred of Berkeley," by John INSmyth, of Nibley, lately for the first time published under the auspices of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, are numerous references to the family. As they are scattered, it willbe a convenience to collect them together, and they willform a suitable introduction to the abstracts oforiginal documents which willfollow.
