  • The Medieval Fishponds of Northamptonshire
    299 THE MEDIEVAL FISHPONDS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE "And many a breem and many a luce in stuwe." Chaucer, Prologue 1.350 THE recent decision of the Rothwell Urban District Council to reverse their policy of filling in and destroying the medieval fishponds a few hundred yards to the south of the church aroused public interest in a little known aspect of medieval life. An attempt will be made here to review the place of fish and fishponds in the medieval economy of Northamptonshire. Very little study has been done on the subject of fishponds. Allcroft, as long ago as 1908, produced a short account of them1 and recently several air photographs have been published.2 In 1966, B. K. Roberts produced an interesting study on a group in the Forest of Arden at Tamworth and he pointed out that not only were they very thick on the ground in his area but they were clearly not a seignorial monopoly and represented an investment of capital which had a prospect of yielding substantial returns.3 The interest of medieval people in eating fish was partly a matter of supplementing a salt meat diet, as was pointed out by Dr. Williams-Freeman.4 "A diet of salted meat with only watercress, pot herbs and a little cabbage for fresh vegetables produced as might be expected much illness ... scurvy and leprosy-loose terms of course, including nearly all skin diseases­ were the scourge of all classes and fresh fish was as great a necessity for a rich man's house as was the deer which he enclosed in his park." It was also, however, considered virtuous to eat fish in preference to meat.

    BOROUGH OF KETTERING Committee Full Planning Committee - 07/11/2019 Item No: 5.1 Report Theresa Nicholl Application No: Originator Development Team Leader KET/2019/0245 Wards Welland Affected Location Bowd Field (plot 1), Desborough Road, Stoke Albany Full Application: Change of use of land for the siting of 3 static caravans for residential use, to include installation of septic tank, Proposal hard standing for vehicular parking and bin storage, erection of post and rail fencing and soft landscaping Applicant Mr A Holland Jnr 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT To describe the above proposals To identify and report on the issues arising from it To state a recommendation on the application 2. RECOMMENDATION THE DEVELOPMENT CONTROL MANAGER RECOMMENDS that this application be REFUSED for the following reason(s):- 1. The proposed site lies in open countryside away from the nearest settlements. It lies in an elevated and exposed position within the Geddington Chase Character Area and is strongly representative of the local landscape character. The positioning of residential caravans on this land and the associated development and paraphernalia represents an incongruous feature within the local landscape and open countryside and does not recognise or respect the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside. The proposed landscaping is also incongruous within the naturalistic setting and other landscaping would not overcome the stark appearance of the development. Furthermore, the development harms the experience of users of Public Footpaths HA2 and HA6 who are regarded as being of high sensitivity to change. The application is therefore contrary to policies 2 and 31 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, saved policy 7 of the Local Plan for Kettering Borough, paragraphs 25 and 26 of the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites and paragraph 170 of the NPPF.
