  • Brewood Library Local History Walk

    Brewood Library Local History Walk

    Free Brewood History Brewood Library Brewood, from the Celtic ‘wood on the hill’, has a long and interesting history. The Roman’s knew Brewood, due to its close proximity to Watling Street and the Roman sites at Pennocrucium, a major road junction in Roman Britain. There Local History Walk was an established Saxon settlement before the Norman invasion and Brewood was notable for having two mills listed in Domesday. The Bishops of Lichfield held Brewood for many centuries and a residence, known locally as the Bishop’s Palace was built for them and their guests including Kings of England, who included King John, Henry II and Edward I. Brewood acquired Borough status in A circular walk from Brewood Library the C13th, but this lapsed and although its famous markets continued for centuries these too lapsed in the C19th. Brewood’s history is closely linked with the Giffard’s of nearby Chillington Hall who can be traced back to around 1175. of about 6.5 miles In 1651 it was Charles Gifford who led Charles II to his hiding place at nearby White Ladies Priory. In 1834 the Shropshire Union Canal reached Brewood, but it was the only major impact of the Industrial Revolution thus allowing Brewood to retain its character, still cherished today. Points of interest on this walk: Newport Street—Locksmith’s Cottage, The Mansions St. Mary’s RC Church—designed by Pugin Telford’s Aqueduct—1832 Broom Hall Engleton Hall—Site of Roman Villa/ Roman Roads Brewood Hall/ Sandy Lane/ Market Place For more information about Brewood’s local history why not visit Brewood

  • Wrekin U3A Review Spring 2017

    Wrekin U3A Review Spring 2017

    Wrekin U3A – “Making life-long learning a reality for all third-agers in the Wrekin locality” FROM THE CHAIR Following the AGM Wrekin U3A starts another year and the new committee, while not having a full membership, has a very positive view of the year ahead. The Committee has decided that, in addition to the day to day support for current Wrekin U3A activities, to undertake the following initiatives: 1. Make an early decision about adopting the Beacon computer system, developed by the Third Age Trust (TAT), for all U3A membership and accounting activities. Following a demonstration of the system in May a decision on whether to adopt the system will be made by the Committee. 2. We are making a Broadband link available in the Shifnal Village Hall which will enable access to the internet and therefore to the Wrekin U3A and TAT websites. Members will be able to use this access at the Monthly meeting. 3. Undertake a review of our Constitution and recommend any changes which would improve the working of Wrekin U3A. Also changes to the Objects of our U3A, suggested by the TAT will be presented to members, for approval, at the May Monthly meeting. 4. As you will be aware at the AGM in March there were insufficient candidates to fill all of the positions on the Committee. This inevitably increases the workload of the elected committee members and may impact the routine running of our U3A. From a membership of nearly 1 300 we should be able to fill ALL committee positions. We are looking for ways to always fill all committee positions.

  • Some Local Place-Names in Medieval and Early-Modern Bristol*

    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 155–196 Some Local Place-Names in Medieval and Early-Modern Bristol* By RICHARD COATES with the collaboration of JENNIFER SCHERR Introduction: Authorship, Structure and Genesis of the Work The entry on The Back which begins section 1. is by Jennifer Scherr and Richard Coates. Several other entries are by Coates backed with bibliographical and documentary information provided by Scherr, notably Worship Street and “le Thoroughows”, and that on Cantock’s Close in note 28. The other entries are Coates’ responsibility. This article consists of two sections, the first being commentary on certain entries in A.H. Smith, The place-names of Gloucestershire, vol. 3 (hereafter PN Gl), and the second on some other local Bristol place-names mostly recorded before about 1650 but absent from Smith’s work. The first section deals with names in the order in which they are found inPN Gl, with each preceded by the relevant page-number; in the second the entries are alphabetical. The stimulus for the article came from noticing that some entries in PN Gl suffered from historical and topographical errors and false claims that certain names were lost, as well as linguistic uncertainties. If the editor had had available a modern edition of the writings of the Bristol-born late-medieval topographer William Worcestre about his native town, some of these problems might well have been forestalled. Some of the errors in the parishes of Westbury on Trym and Henbury, now in the City of Bristol, have been dealt with elsewhere (Coates 2008).

    Rob Duncan - Planning Consultant: Planning Committee 15/05/2018 18/00104/FUL Mrs Kathryn Robinson BREWOOD & COVEN Councillor W Sutton Councillor J Bolton Councillor D Holmes Brewood Park Farm Brewood Road Coven Wolverhampton Staffordshire WV9 5BW Change of use of land to site two modern, but traditional style, Shepherds Huts for tourist accommodation 1. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PLANNING HISTORY 1.1 Site Description 1.1.1 This application site comprises two parcels of currently agricultural land, located immediately adjacent to the domestic curtilage of Brewood Park Farm, which is an impressive, three storey farmhouse, of traditional South Staffordshire vernacular. The site is isolated from surrounding developments, and is accessed via a tarmac track that connects with the Brewood Road to the north. The site as a whole lies within the Green Belt. 1.2 Planning History Various, but none of direct relevance to submitted proposal 2 APPLICATION DETAILS 2.1 Proposal 2.1.1 The application seeks consent to site to modern shepherd huts in two locations adjacent to the domestic curtilage of the farmhouse. The first will be located to the east of the existing tennis court and adjacent to some old sheep pens. The second will be sited to the north of the tennis court adjacent to the existing boundary wall. The proposed shepherd huts will have a traditional appearance, constructed from a steel frame with corrugated walls, and timber windows and doors. Each hut will encompass a floor area of 5.48m x 2.20m but its design means the accommodation will sit atop four wheels, with steps providing access up into the hut.
