  • The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young
    Violet MANNERS (London 1856 - London 1937) The Artist James Jebusa Shannon Painting a Portrait of the Young John Manners, later 9th Duke of Rutland Pencil, with touches of pen and brown ink, on paper washed a pale grey. Inscribed John sitting to Shannon at the lower centre. Further inscribed in pencil on the verso. 239 x 292 mm. (9 3/8 x 11 1/2 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON, DC. This drawing depicts the artist's young son John Manners being painted by the Anglo-American artist James Jebusa Shannon (1862-1923), one of the leading society portrait painters in London, at his studio in Holland Park in 1897. The second son of the Marquess and Marchioness of Granby, John Henry Montagu Manners, Lord Roos (1886-1940) was ten or eleven years old at the time this drawing was made. His elder brother Robert, Lord Haddon, had died three years earlier, at the age of nine, and John was the heir to the dukedom. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, John Manners joined the Diplomatic Service and was posted to the British Embassy in Rome in 1909. The following year he was commissioned into the 4th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant. Although he was sent to the Western Front in 1915, Manners was kept away from the front lines by his superiors - much against his wishes and to his great shame later in life - largely due to the efforts and influence of his mother, the Duchess of Rutland, who was determined to keep her only surviving son well away from the fighting.

As the name suggests, The Old Windmill is one of the original Windmills positioned within the Vale of Belvoir. Having fallen out of use at the beginning of the 20th Century, works began in the early 1980s to bring the Old Windmill back to its former glory with a complete overhaul when it was turned over to residential accommodation, with a wonderful homely atmosphere and likely to appeal to a wide audience. The property occupies a delightful plot with two main garden areas, the first to the rear is a sunny and private Courtyard (a perfect place to enjoy a glass of merlot or a G & T), with an archway leading into the second and more established garden area with mature trees and shrubs. This southerly facing Views across the rear garden towards Belvoir Caslte on the distance garden is perfect for those looking for a private and secure area away from the hustle and bustle of City life! HOW TO FIND THE OLD WINDMILL From the 'top room' there are views across the Vale of Belvoir towards Belvoir Castle up on the hill.

    National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 74. Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Wolds Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and knowledge. We will aim to refresh and update them periodically as new 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra information becomes available to us.

  • Annual Review 2016
    Review 2016 BELVOIR CRICKET & COUNTRYSIDE TRUST Patron's Message 1 I am delighted to report that the Trust has reached out to over 2,700 children this year which is a superb achievement and I would like to congratulate Darren and his team on another successful year. It is lovely to see all the smiling faces every time I drive past the cricket ground at Knipton during the summer and I was especially pleased to be able to welcome the children from Fountaindale Special Needs School to our Castle in July. Most of these children suffer from very severe physical disabilities, whilst keeping an amazing sense of humour and good spirit. We could not fit the specially designed wheelchairs into the cricket pavilion at Knipton so we were able to invite them into the castle to ensure they had a great day with us. On the subject of facilities, I am delighted to hear that the Trust has an ambition to re-develop the pavilion at Knipton. Our grounds here at the Castle have undergone some huge changes in recent times and I fully support the need for new purpos-built facilities at Knipton which will complement the work of the Trust but also support our local community which is very important to me.

The pub with two names Rutland Arms AKA Dirty Duck, was built around 1750, half a century before the canal so was more frequented by cattle drovers than the navvies. The first Belvoir Castle, built by Robert de Todeni (William the Conqueror's Standard Bearer during the Battle of Hastings), was a true fortification erected in the years shortly after the Norman Conquest, made of earth and timber. The name Belvoir (pronounced “beever”) originates from the Norman term for “beautiful view", a fitting label for this picturesque estate.

  • MEDICINE, POISON and WITCHCRAFT in the VALE of BELVOIR in the SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Ruth Crook
    MEDICINE, POISON AND WITCHCRAFT IN THE VALE OF BELVOIR IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Ruth Crook In seventeenth-century Leicestershire, six women were accused of witchcraft. Their alleged victims were the two sons of the Earl of Rutland. There is a possibility that the children both had symptoms of lead toxicity and porphyria. Henry, Prince of Wales, after staying at their home, also became ill and died. It is possible that he also may have been suffering from lead toxicity and porphyria. Belvoir Castle has overlooked the Vale of Belvoir, and parts of the counties of Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, for over 900 years, dominating an area in which most of the villages belonged to the estate of the lords who lived there. Four hundred years ago it was a place of tragedy, when the Earl of Rutland suffered the loss of two sons, events which eventually had dire consequences for another local family as well as his own. These events are well known, but it has never been suggested before that there may be a link between them and the death of Henry, Prince of Wales, in the weeks following a visit to Belvoir. Seventeenth-century people looked upon illness differently from how we do today. Generally, no-one knew what made them ill and often explained it as a result of the wrath of God, or the work of devils. If someone became ill, usually the women in the household would attempt to treat them with herbs and tinctures. For the literate, books such as Gervase Markham’s Countrey Contentments or the English Huswife, published in 1623, could be referred to.
