    Community facilities: Roger (coordinator), Steve. Objectives: • To improve the health services and health facilities for the parish. • To ensure adequate provision of, and improved access to, community and recreational facilities. • To ensure sufficient capacity for children living in Rothley to access primary and junior education within the parish Education a) Schools The Rothley Church of England Primary School (Academy) is located at Burrow Drive, Rothley, Leicestershire LE77RZ (http://www.rothley.leics.sch.uk). The school capacity is 420 children across 14 classes. At the time of writing (Oct 2016) there are 401 children enrolled. The admission policy was changed with effect from the Autumn term of 2016-2017 to bring in a cap of 60 per year group to ensure a maximum of 30 per class. Prior to moving to its new site on Burrow Drive the school admitted children from out of the catchment area but because of the growing number of families in Rothley it is expected to be full with catchment area children in the future. When the new school building was first proposed by the planners at Charnwood Borough Council there was a possible option to build four more classrooms on the site. However, funds were not available and the additional classrooms were not built. This is still a possible future option should the demand for places dictate it and if the funds were made available. There is no senior school in Rothley and students from the primary school go on to schools beyond the parish, as follows: • Rawlins 34 (Loughborough Rd, Quorn, Loughborough LE12 8DY) • De Lisle 12 (Thorpe Hill, Loughborough LE11 4SQ) • Cedars 4 (Wanlip Lane, Birstal, Leicester LE4 4GH) • Humphrey Perkins 2 (Cotes Rd, Barrow upon Soar, Loughborough LE12 8JU) Some concern was expressed at a consultation event that the present school is not large enough to cope with the anticipated demand from new housing developments.

  • Breedon on the Hill Stuart Galloway Version 2
    U3A WTT Breedon on the Hill Stuart Galloway Version 2 Route Summary The walk starts in the car park of Breedon Priory Garden Centre. Postcode is DE73 8AZ, which oddly takes you to a road opposite the entrance. Plenty of parking and Beth’s Kitchen on the same site has nice food at reasonable prices. (Toilets next to the café). Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 7.380 km / 4.61 mi Parking: Breedon Priory Garden Centre Date Published: 26th October 2016 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Average Refreshments: Beth's Kitchen Last Modified: 26th October 2016 Description A circular walk around Breedon that takes in the history of the area. Waypoints Breedon (52.80286; -1.40512) The name Breedon on the Hill is derived from the Celtic word bre for hill and the English word dun for hill. Hence in its current form the name combines three forms of the word hill. Briudun, an early spelling, has been traced from AD 731. Medieval Hagiography Manuscripts record four saints buried in Breedon-on-the-Hill. They are Friduricus, donor of the Mercian Royal Monastery built in Breedon during the seventh century, King Eardwulf of Northumbria, and relatively unknown Anglo-Saxon Saint Beonna of Breedon and Cotta of Breedon. In 1874, a branch of the Midland Railway was built through the eastern part of the parish and Tonge and Breedon railway station was built at Tonge. In 1980 British Railways closed the line and thereafter the track was dismantled. 1 / 11 The track bed through the parish is now part of National Cycle Route 6 and is called the Cloud Trail running from Worthington to Derby City Centre.

  • Coalville Fringe Assessment
    Urban Fringe 1: Western edge of Thringstone and New Swannington 1: View from School Lane 2: View from Red Hill Lane Element Assessment Score The Coalfield: Gently undulating landscape with effects of past and present coal and clay working. It displays a relatively dense pattern of former mining towns and villages characterised by 19th century mining terraces which follow the roads. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland although away from settlements the land is mostly arable. There is generally low woodland cover. The land contains areas of restored land, some including establishing heathland, once far more extensive. Around Coalville the landscape is influenced by Bardon 21 warehousing, Bardon quarry and other light industrial development. Bardon Hill and quarry are features within views. The assessment notes that the land is part of the National Forest. Northern tip is part of Charnwood Forest: The underlying pre-Cambrian rocks result in a varied, hilly landform with exposed crags and rocky knolls and fast-flowing streams, resulting in a distinctive County Landscape character. The area has a high concentration of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland, including many ancient woodland sites, hedges and hedgerow trees, some of which is unmanaged. The character area area is characterised by an intimate mixture of woodland and farmland in mixed arable and pasture uses. The area’s acidic soils support pockets of heathland vegetation, particularly around rocky outcrops, where the land has never been taken into cultivation. There is variable field patterns, with irregular fields often bounded by mixed hedges contrasted with long narrow rectilinear fields with stone walls.

  • Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar the Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar
    TheArchaeology of Barrow upon Soar The Archaeology of Barrow upon Soar Barrow is renowned for its marine fossils, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. These date to the Jurassic period, 150-200 million years ago, long before man existed. The fi rst evidence for man in and around Barrow is from the Palaeolithic period (Old Stone Age) which started 800,000 years ago. Archaeology is defi ned in the dictionary as “the study of man’s past by scientifi c analysis of the material remains of his cultures” whilst history is “the discipline of recording and interpreting past events”, implying the use of documentary evidence. So what archaeological evidence is there? Evidence of the past comes in many forms:- • Stones, mostly fl int used as tools • Pottery • Metalwork & coins • Wooden items • Leather, furs and skins • Earthworks and buildings There are also hints in the landscape and vegetation that can suggest buried features such as pits, ditches and buried stonework from walls or foundations. To protect the remaining archaeology from damage or abuse some of the locations in this document are kept deliberately vague. If you want to know more please ask. Prehistory Prehistory covers most of our past from 800,000 in the Palaeolithic to 2000 years ago at the end of the Iron Age. Few items remain as buildings and many tools were made from wood or leather/skins which have not survived. Pottery is fi rst seen in Britain from the Neolithic (New Stone Age) which starts about 6000 years ago. However, in Barrow, pottery only survives from the Bronze Age.
