  • THE LOST CHAPEL of ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison
    THE LOST CHAPEL OF ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison Every Easter Monday the small village of Hallaton in East Leicestershire is host to a strange rural custom – the ‘Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking’. This is a battle between Hallaton and the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The tradition is ancient, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. Recent research has revealed that Hare Pie Bank – the hill above the village on which the bottle kicking battle starts – has a much older history. Documentary research and excavations by the Hallaton Field Work Group have uncovered evidence that not only was the hilltop used by the Romans, but also a medieval chapel and burial ground, dedicated to St Morrell, once stood on the bank overlooking the village. ST MORRELL, HALLATON’S LOST SAINT John Morison An article written in 1931 on Leicestershire’s wells and springs mentions a well in the parish of Hallaton (Richardson 1931, 46). Further research among other documentary sources revealed references to both the well and St Morrell in the seventeenth-century Glebe Terriers (Morison 2000, 199). St Morrell probably represents St Maurilius of Angers, France, who was born in AD 363, the son of the Roman senator of Alpine Gaul. Maurilius went into the church, studied at Milan and Tours under St Martin, became a Benedictine monk and for many years lived as a hermit at Challonne sur Loire. Later, in Anjou on the Loire, he was ordained as the fourth bishop of Angers. Legends tell that at some time during his 30 years as bishop he visited England, where he worked as a gardener for an English noble.

  • 10–14 Churchgate: Hallaton's Lost Manor House?
    12 10–14 Churchgate: Hallaton’s Lost Manor House? Nick Hill This building, a high quality timber-framed structure dating to the late fifteenth century, has been the subject of a recent programme of detailed recording and analysis, accompanied by dendrochronology. It is located on a prominent site, just opposite the church, at the centre of the village of Hallaton in south-east Leicestershire (OS ref: SP787966). The building, of six bays, had timber-framed walls with heavy close-studding throughout. Three bays originally formed an open hall, with a high arch-braced roof truss of an unusual ‘stub tie beam’ form, a rare Midlands type associated with high status houses. Although this was an open hall, the absence of smoke blackening indicates that there must have been a chimneystack from the beginning rather than an open hearth, an unusually early feature for the late fifteenth century. The whole timber-framed structure is of sophisticated, high class construction, and contrasts strongly with other houses of the period in the village, which are cruck-built. It is suggested that, though subsequently reduced in status and subdivided into four cottages, it was once one of the two main manor houses of Hallaton. The location of this second manor house has been lost since it was merged with the other main manor in the early seventeenth century. Introduction The pair of cottages, now known as 10/12 and 14 Churchgate, stands on a corner site, at the junction of Churchgate with Hunts Lane, immediately to the north-east of Hallaton church. Externally, the building has few features of interest, with cement-rendered walls under a thatched roof (illus.

  • Hallatonhare Pie Newsletter
    HALLATONHARE PIE NEWSLETTER Photos by Chris Clark Monthly photo competition...this could be your photo next month, see editor‘s notes for details... October Issue 157 HALLATON PARISH COUNCIL Hare Pie Newsletter, October Councillor Profile I have lived in Hallaton for 16 years and my husband has lived here on and off for most of his life with our three sons all being born here. All of our boys attended Hallaton Primary School where I enjoyed six years working as a school governor. I have also spent two years as a member of the Parochial Church Council. I am currently a trustee for the Church Restoration Trust and also worked with the previous Parish Council to secure the village’s defibrillator at the The Fox for which which I still help manage. The first months as a Parish Councillor have been a steep learning curve and I know we still have a way to go. I have been working on the HPC website to ensure that all the documentation is updated monthly and all of the Neighbourhood Plan information is available for everyone to see. I am really enjoying being part of a great team working hard to take Hallaton forward whilst maintaining and respecting its wonderful history and heritage. Miranda Roberts Boundaries and Budgets Please can we ask all villagers to check their boundaries as we have received some complaints about overgrown hedges, tree branches, ivy etc growing over footpaths and roads making it difficult to pass. Hallaton Parish Council will shortly be setting its budget for the next financial year and we would like to take this opportunity to ask if there are any projects being planned for next year which may require some financial contribution from the Parish Council.

Introduction 3 2. Legislative Background 3 3. Criteria for Assessing the Effects of Neighbourhood Plans 4 4. Assessment 5 5. Screening Outcome 7 2 Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan 1. Introduction 1.1 Harborough District Council has been asked by Hallaton Parish Council to undertake this screening report for Strategic Environmental Assessment. 1.2 National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) was updated in February 2015 clarifying instances where a SEA may be required for a neighbourhood plan. A neighbourhood plan may require an environmental assessment if it is likely to have a significant effect on the environment. Where this is the case the draft neighbourhood plan may fall within the scope of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. This may be the case, for example, where a neighbourhood plan allocates sites for development. 1.3 A qualifying body is strongly encouraged to consider the environmental implications of its proposals at an early stage, and to seek the advice of the local planning authority on whether the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 are likely to apply. 1.4 In order to demonstrate that a draft neighbourhood plan or Order contributes to sustainable development, sufficient and proportionate evidence should be presented on how the draft neighbourhood plan or Order guides development to sustainable solutions.

  • Hallaton Settlement Profile Introduction
    Hallaton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Hallaton lies between Market Harborough (7 miles southwest) and Uppingham (5 miles northeast), whilst being served by a direct route to Leicester by the A47 only 1 mile away to the north. The village shares its borders with numerous other parishes within the Harborough District, and is nestled in the south-eastern corner close to the District’s border with Rutland. Hallaton shares the easterly edge of its boundaries with, running north to south, Allexton, Horninghold, Blaston and eventually Medbourne, with Slawston occupying the majority of Hallaton’s west boundary and East Norton, Goadby and Tugby being to the north. The parish is one of the largest in the Harborough District stretching almost 3 miles north-south and 2 miles east-west. Numerous brooks and streams originate in the northern realm of the parish, merging as they flow south towards Medbourne and eventually into the River Welland. Hallaton has a rich history through which it has generally occupied an important position in the area. For many years the village was an agricultural centre with numerous fairs and markets taking place in the parish from the 13th Century, right through to the peak of their popularity in the mid 19th Century. There is also strong evidence to suggest that Hallaton was a significant location during Roman Britain; with ‘The Hallaton Treasure’ - the largest hoard of British Iron Age coins ever discovered being found in 2000, attracting international interest. Throughout Leicestershire Hallaton is known for hosting the ancient ritual of Hare Pie Scrambling and Bottle-Kicking that takes place each Easter Monday and has done so for many hundreds of years (some claim the ritual pre-dates the Christian era).

  • Residents 'Excited' About the Arrival of Fibre Broadband
    Feb 17, 2015 00:00 GMT Residents ‘excited’ about the arrival of fibre broadband Information events in Ashley and Hallaton well attended by local community Dozens of people living in the villages of Ashley and Hallaton have grasped the opportunity to find out more about the imminent arrival of superfast broadband. The new technology, which brings download speeds of up to 80Mbps, will soon be available in many Welland Valley communities including parts of nearby Dingley and Medbourne. A day of local activity, organised by BT, took place on Wednesday 11 February to give local people the chance to find out more and ask any questions they might have. Paul Bimson, BT’s regional partnership director in the East Midlands, said: “The people we spoke with in Ashley and Hallaton are clearly very excited about the arrival of fibre broadband. People from many neighbouring villages also came to see us and they are all increasingly aware of the difference that faster speeds will make to everyday rural life. Fibre broadband makes more things possible including catch-up TV, streaming live content and working from home.” Work to upgrade the broadband network is being carried out by Openreach, BT’s local network business. BT’s network is open which means residents and businesses wanting to upgrade will still have a wide choice of broadband providers, with more than 140 fibre broadband companies now selling services over BT’s network. Residents of the Northamptonshire village of Ashley recently announced that they had raised £15,000 to sign a contract with BT to install a new fibre broadband cabinet and underground cable.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Institution: University of Leicester
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Leicester Unit of Assessment: 17: Geography, Environmental Studies and Archaeology Title of case study: Coin Hoards and Helmets: Iron Age treasure boosts tourism, underpins museum expansion and inspires new sense of community pride. 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) A research project, embedded in the local community, unearthed multiple Iron Age treasures that have rewritten our understanding of the Iron Age to Roman transition in Britain. The discoveries directly inspired the South East Leicestershire Treasure project (SELT), which raised £934k funding (including 651K from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)) for a major programme encompassing museum redevelopment, travelling exhibitions and a suite of learning resources. SELT initiatives have been enjoyed by over 270,000 members of the public, who through it have gained fascinating insights into our distant past. The find has also inspired a huge sense of community pride in a Leicestershire village and underlined the value of university involvement in local archaeology. The project was another important factor in the recent award of a Queen’s Anniversary Prize. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) Timeline: Discovery: 2000; fieldwork & analysis: 2001–2010; monograph 2011; reviews 2012– The discovery by the voluntary Hallaton Fieldwork Group (HFWG) of an open-air hilltop shrine with multiple Iron Age coin hoards sparked a major collaborative research project between the UoA and the local community comprising survey, excavation and laboratory work. The project provides a case study of best-practice investigation techniques for hoard sites and for the successful integration of professional bodies and local communities in research projects.

  • Hoards, Hounds and Helmets. a Conquest-Period Ritual Site at Hallaton, Leicestershire Vicki Score
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews HOARDS, HOUNDS AND HELMETS. A CONQUEST-PERIOD RITUAL SITE AT HALLATON, LEICESTERSHIRE BY VICKI SCORE University of Leicester Archaeological Services 2011.302 pp, 59 photographs (B&W and colour), 13 maps, 9 plans and sections (some grouped), 87 tables and graphs, plus catalogues. ISBN 978-0-9560179-6-3. Hb £32.00 + p&p This hardback monograph presents the results of one of the most exciting Late Iron Age and Romano-British finds of recent years in the United Kingdom: the hoards (now popularly termed the “Hallaton Treasure”) and associated features excavated at Hallaton, north of Market Harborough, in Leicestershire. Following an initial metal detecting find of over 200 Iron Age and Roman coins in 2000, a collaborative project between University of Leicester Archaeology Services (ULAS) and the Hallaton Field Work Group undertook survey and excavation for the next nine years. The project eventually recovered at least 16 hoards of Iron Age gold and silver coins and Roman denarii – nearly 5300 coins in all. There were also copper-alloy brooches, armlets, silver and copper-alloy ingots, additional copper-alloy objects including parts of a La Tène style tankard and a sword chape, a silver mount and a silver bowl, and parts of several different Roman cavalry helmets including a highly-decorated helmet bowl and at least six, probably seven different decorated cheek pieces. Over 400 coins were recovered from within the bowl of the helmet alone. The principal significance of this find is that the majority of the artefacts were recovered from excavated contexts. Located just off the brow of a slight hill, a series of gullies and ditches (and perhaps a palisade) broadly defined a relatively open space, with the deposition of small groups of objects into these features, and a series of small pits.

  • A History of Leicestershire: Horninghold MANOR
    Victoria County History of Leicestershire HORNINGHOLD, Gartree Hundred. HORNINGHOLD lies seven miles north-east of Market Harborough and four miles south-west of Uppingham. The parish which has 1,217 acres in area, extends over the Middle Lias clays which underlie the hills on the borders of Rutland. The soil is chiefly clay and largely devoted to pasture. The road from Hallaton to Uppingham on which the village stands, crosses the parish from west to east; it is joined at the east end of the village by a road from Great Easton. There are two field tracks, one to Blaston, and one which crosses the road from Hallaton to Allexton and continues to Keythorpe. The houses in the village are built along the main road and along a short road running north, which later becomes the track to Keythorpe. At the junction of these roads, immediately north of the church, is a small triangular green inclosed by posts and chains. Between the green and the church stands a restored stone cottage, dating from the late 16th or early 17th Century, which was formerly used as a Rectory. All of the remaining houses in the village are the result of complete or partial rebuilding by the Hardcastles of Blaston Hall. [1] The post office and other brick cottages are the work of Thomas Hardcastle [d. 1902] in 1882-3, but most of the rebuilding was carried out by his son T. A. Hardcastle between 1905 and 1911. He set out to create a model ‘garden’ village, planted with a great variety of trees and ornamental shrubs.
