Little Washbourne Church Plan.Pdf LITTLE WASHBOURNE ST. MARY’S MARCH 2021 CHURCH PLAN Part A - Current Report Part B - Survey Results of our open survey conducted in Summer and Autumn 2020, canvassing all community contacts for their reaction to Part A. The survey remains open and available at this location. Please feel free to repeat your survey response or complete the survey for the first time. Part C - Community Recommendations Minutes of any community meetings held to discuss the information available in other parts of the Church Plan. Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance St Mary's Church, Little Washbourne, is a historic Anglican church at Little Washbourne in the civil parish of Dumbleton, Gloucestershire, under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The church dates from the 12th century. St Mary's is constructed in limestone, with Cotswold slate roofs. Its plan is simple, consisting of a five-bay nave and a two-bay chancel with a roof at a slightly lower level. At the west end of the roof of the chancel is a bellcote with rendered walls, some weatherboarding, and a pyramidal roof. In the south wall of the nave are three buttresses, a window under a pointed arch, and a doorway also with a pointed arch. At the west end of the church are pilaster buttresses, and a window under a pointed arch. The north wall of the nave also has three buttresses. The chancel is supported by buttresses, one on both the north and south walls, and two on the east wall. Also in the east wall is a window under a pointed arch. In the north wall of the chancel is a slit window dating from the 12th century. The floor of the church is flagged, and the walls are limewashed. Inside the church are panelled box pews, an octagonal pulpit with a sounding board, communion rails, and a communion table, all dating from the 18th century. The octagonal stone font dates from a similar period. There are traces of paintings on the walls. On the north wall of the chancel is a monument in white and grey marble to the memory of William Hill who died in 1786. Current use (bookings) & voluntary activity St. Mary’s is easy to find and a popular destination for curious walkers who refer to it’s simple charm in the visitor’s book, but limited parking possibilities limit significant use by larger groups, although a society of architects have held their annual picnic at the site. In recent months, at the time of writing, one Gloucestershire volunteer has found that the church is used annually for a service. Occasional guided tours for small coach parties represent the only other 2 known use of the building, but The Churches Conservation Trust has been very grateful for voluntary help in recent years both with a Christmas wishing tree, donated by a Gloucestershire-based supporter, and with remittance of donated funds from the wall-safe.

The relatively high number of visitors express keen interest in the building through their comments in the visitors’ book, but this sense of interest is not reflected in wall-safe donations, which are low. As a result, plans might initially focus on interpretation of maintenance and repair costs for visitors to review, so as to support their decisions regarding gifts towards church upkeep. These materials could be supplemented with information describing the means for digital donations. The Trust is extremely grateful for the emergence of voluntary support from one Cheltenham resident in recent years, who has initiated contact with the church group holding an annual service at the church, resulting thereby in their kind contribution to running costs through a collection donated to The Trust. Her care for the church has extended also to include installation of a Christmas wishing tree to encourage donations. Additional proposals and options for maintaining and repairing the church should derive from community consultation through the church planning process, inviting the maximum response towards creative solutions for the future of this attractive building. 8 Part B - September 2020 Survey Summary of consultation responses received by end August 2020 Following distribution of fifteen questions through our standard church plan questionnaire in summer 2020 to existing Churches Conservation Trust correspondents, (together with an invitation for correspondents to share the survey and associated Church Plan Part A), one response was received for St.

He found himself in another county that was already no more than a memory by the time of Domesday Book THE LOST COUNTY OF Winchcombeshire Last summer I was invited by the Worcestershire branch of the Young Archaeologists’ Club to an exhibition of their field work on a site near Broadway on the edge of the Cotswolds. They had spent many hours walking a ploughed field, recording the results and analysing the finds, many of which are Roman and show that there must be a Roman farmstead in the field. It is an exemplary project. This visit took me to a part of the country which I find very attractive, not really the Cotswolds (which I don’t really like – too flat and featureless for me) but just off the northern end, on the edge of the valleys of the Severn and Avon. It is an area of flat fields and small isolated hills. On the edge are the towns and villages of Tewkesbury and Bredon to the west, Evesham to the Opposite: Bredon, Above: Abandoned north and Winchcombe to the south.

  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

Field Officer with The Churches Conservation Trust since 1994; currently Regional Development Manager. Previously an archaeologist with Buckinghamshire County Museum Service) HISTORY Little Washbourne is sparsely populated and its few houses are scattered over the surrounding countryside. The small size of its church suggests it has always been so. It has long been a chapelry of nearby Overbury; formerly a part of Worcestershire, it was transferred to Gloucestershire in 1844, though it remains in the Diocese of Worcester. The name means ‘stream in the swamp’, the stream being a small tributary of the Carrant Brook. It was sometimes known as Knight’s Washbourne, after the knightly Washbourne family who owned the manor. Great Washbourne is less than a mile away across the fields. In AD 780 Offa, King of Mercia, is recorded as giving a parcel of land at Little Washbourne to the monks of Worcester. Subsequently the manor passed through various hands to the Sampsons at the time of Henry II and, from them, to the Washbournes – the first being Roger, mentioned in 1259. A later Roger became a coroner Front cover: Interior, looking south-west for Worcester – in 1347 the king ordered the appointment of (Ian Sumner) another coroner due to Roger being ‘so sick and broken by age’.
