  • The Malthouse, Woodmancote, Dursley
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2007 pages 37-40 THE MALTHOUSE, WOODMANCOTE, DURSLEY Amber Patrick Introduction This malthouse was neither visible from the road, nor was it recognisable as such when seen from the garden of the house. I visited the malthouse on two occasions in June and August 1988, and undertook a small amount of recording and measured survey work. This short report is the result of that work. The site and its history Woodmancote is the A4135 road running south from Dursley. The malthouse is located behind the house on the eastern side of Woodmancote (ST 7588 9788). The house is one of a distinguished row of Georgian houses, and of an 18th century date. The house itself gives no indication that there was ever any industrial activity in its back garden. The malthouse runs back, and therefore eastwards from the house, being almost literally an extension of the kitchen. It is a typical burgage plot maltings (Fig. 1). Relatively little is known of its malting history, although the owners at the time of my visit had undertaken some research into the history of the house. The main evidence for the building’s malting history comes from early trades directories. Pigot’s for 1822-3 records three maltsters in Woodmancote: a Mrs Millard, a William Robinson and a James Taylor. By the time of Pigot’s 1830 directory only William Robinson is listed as a maltster in Woodmancote. Later directories do not record any maltster in the road but that does not necessarily mean that malting had ceased.

Her funeral was held on 6th August and there is to be a Memorial Tribute to her on 2nd October at the Art Workers Guild in London. Felicity has been the authority on her parents’ lives for many years now and her Obituary in the Independent described her as ‘probably the last close link with the inner circle of extraordinary creative talents fostered or inspired by William Morris’ … her death ‘marks its [the Arts & Crafts movement] formal and final passing’. This first issue of Volume Number VI is a bumper issue full of connections. John Taplin, Andrew Davenport and Tim Clough (Editor of Rutland Local History & Record Society), after their initial queries to the Archive Room, all sent articles on their researches; the pieces on Maye Bruce and Thomas Phillipps are connected with new publications; there is an ‘earthy’ connection between with the Plough, Rutland and Bruce researches and the Phillipps and Whitfield articles both have Shakespeare connections.

    Rural-Urban Outlooks: Unlocking Synergies (ROBUST) ROBUST receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727988.* September 2018 Gloucestershire County Council Carey Stevens, Simon Excell [email protected] and [email protected] Rural-Urban Governance Arrangements and Planning Instruments Section 106 Legal Agreements Gloucestershire, UK 1. Overview District councils in Gloucestershire deal with nearly all planning applications for development including new homes, offices, factories and shops. However, Gloucestershire County Council is responsible for much of the infrastructure and services needed to make the built environment function properly. Section 106 (S106) Legal Agreements are agreements made between a planning authority (county and/or district council) and a developer/owner. These agreements contain obligations linked to a strategic development site which are required to mitigate the impact of the development. For example, if a development is likely to create more traffic, there may be obligations, either financial or non-financial, to carry out highways improvement works, or, to ensure that a proportion of houses within the development are available as ‘affordable housing’. As Gloucestershire is a ‘two-tier’ authority these agreements can be between the strategic authority, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) and the developer or, between GCC, the district authority and the developer. Currently S106 contributions received in Gloucestershire are used to support highways, transportation, libraries and education infrastructure. 2. Main Challenges There are two main challenges in Gloucestershire: ˃ The delay between a Section 106 Legal agreement being drawn up, the development being commenced and the contributions being received from the developer.

During the late 1300s, the town became very rich because of the wool trade. The long-haired fleeces of the Cotswold lion sheep sold to Europe for lots of money. This wealth paid for St. James’ church, famous as one of England’s finest ‘wool churches’. 1600s The wool trade declines but the town continues to hold the weekly Wednesday market of farm goods plus four larger markets per year that sell more luxury items e.g. ribbons. 1603 The Queen, Elizabeth I dies. James I of England is crowned. Baptist Hicks, a wealthy London silk merchant supplies the cloth for the King’s Coronation. This cloth costs £16,000 = over £3 million in today’s money. Baptist Hicks is knighted. 1609 Sir Baptist Hicks buys the manor of Chipping Campden from Anthony Smyth. He has also become a moneylender to the Royal Court and is now one of the wealthiest men in Britain. 1612 A very important year for Chipping Campden! Sir Baptist is keen to show off his wealth.

Much of the prosperity and wealth associated with the town came from the wool trade which is highlighted by the great perpendicular church of St James’s dating from the thirteenth century.
