Like many of my age I am well loved but in urgent need of the care and attention of the people around me. My present carers have been very kind but are getting tired of meeting my needs. Many people use my facilities and lots of good times have been enjoyed within my walls. I would like to continue being host to everyone but cannot do so without help. My crisis will be reached in April 2017 if I do not appoint some new members to my medical team. I need a number of new trustees and committee members. My committee meets once a month to review my care package. Could you help to keep me going? If you would like to know more please contact Simon Bourne (vice Chairman) on 07902 335473 or Julian Oxley (hon treasurer) on 750797 Page | 3 Saturday Social Having spent Christmas and New Year with friends and family, why not take the opportunity on Saturday 28th January to catch up with friends from the village?

Page | 6 MINSTERWORTH READING GROUP At our December meeting, we reviewed ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ by Khaled Hosseini. The second of Hosseini’s books reviewed by the reading group, A Thousand Splendid Suns relates the story of Mariam, married off to a much older man in distant Kabul, and Laila, the much younger second wife. Mariam and Laila struggle together against the violence of their husband and the oppression of the Taliban, giving a perspective of womens’ lives under the regime. A dark and thought provoking book that made us glad not to be Afghan women, particularly at that time in Afghanistan’s troubled history. Our next book is ‘The Siege of Krishnapur’ by JG Farrell, which we will review on 4th January.

Clover, a golden retriever boy who is thought to be around 12 months old, was one of many dogs saved from a lorry headed for a slaughterhouse in Shanghai as part of the horrific dog meat trade. This happens everyday, all year round. Thankfully there are charities like Rushton Dog Rescue who have activists in China working to get as many dogs off the meat trucks as possible and into safe, loving homes. The costs of this are huge. Clover was taken to kennels in China, received veterinary care for his multiple medical conditions such as a skin infection, distemper, and starvation, vaccinated against multiple diseases and flown to Paris, then to England to be rehomed. The charity is rescuing many other dogs of all different breeds, who were bred for meat in China and kept in appalling conditions, abused and starved. Cindi McNeil Regan, founder of the charity, and her team of helpers are campaigning on social media to raise awareness and recognition of the barbaric situation these dogs face. Unbelievably, Clover is a happy, loving, friendly dog, who absolutely loves all the fuss he can get. He has been a local superstar, receiving many visitors and even a photoshoot from the Daily Mirror, who are running a story on him in the new year! In order to keep paying for these gorgeous animals to be rescued and rehomed, the charity needs generous donations. Even the smallest amount is appreciated so much.

This often has a detrimental effect on health. Conditions such as asthma, diabetes, COPD, arthritis, rheumatism, or cardio-vascular and respiratory diseases, as well as mental health issues can be made worse by living in cold and often damp houses.

  • Morcote in Hartpury and the Domesday Geography of Longbridge Hundred
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 139–145 Morcote in Hartpury and the Domesday Geography of Longbridge Hundred By SIMON DRAPER During research for the Victoria County History of Gloucestershire in Minsterworth and Lassington parishes1 new evidence has come to light that appears to challenge two long-held beliefs concerning the early history of the area: firstly, that the Domesday estate of Morcote in Longbridge hundred is identifiable with Murcott in Minsterworth and, secondly, that the eponymous ‘long bridge’ of the hundred, presumably representing its traditional meeting-place, was the Over Causeway outside Gloucester. In this article I will suggest not only that Domesday Morcote was located in the south of Hartpury parish, where documentary evidence indicates the presence of a medieval estate bearing that name, but also that the meeting-place of Longbridge hundred was a crossing of the river Leadon north of Lassington. Gloucester Abbey’s Possessions at Morcote The earliest evidence for the existence of a medieval place called Morcote within Hartpury parish comes from two charters preserved in the cartulary of Gloucester abbey. Both, which have hitherto been thought to relate to Murcott in Minsterworth,2 are headed ‘Morcote’ and record gifts to the monastery of meadow and pasture by a certain William of Morcote.3 The charter dated between 1263 and 1284 is a grant of a meadow in Morcote called ‘Radeham’ and it includes a description of the meadow’s location: ‘in length from Henry of Morwent’s meadow called Depeneye to the pasture called Sumerham, and in width between Radefelde and the water called Ledene’.4 The mention of the river Leadon immediately locates it outside Minsterworth parish, whilst the reference to Henry of Morwent suggests it was situated in Hartpury.

  • A48 Main Road Alvington Parish
    A48 Main Road Alvington Parish Appendix 8 Printable Version – (Double sided/duplex) September 2018 A48 Main Road – overview The A48 passes through the centre of Alvington, to the North for Gloucester and to the South for Chepstow, Newport and Cardiff. The A48 has very old origins, it was first thought to have been Roman, but this has never been proven. There is considerable Roman evidence in the area, thus there should be roads somewhere and hence it is easy to assume the A48 could have been Roman. There are however references to 1145 when the Bishop of Hereford granted Alvington Manor to Llanthony Priory, he mentioned the recent devastation of land and dispersal of the inhabitants and it is possible that the ordered plan of the village, with a series of long home closes, (houses with long gardens or orchards), extending North West and South East from the main Gloucester to Chepstow road, was created after the grant. This arrangement still exists today thus making it impossible to widen the A48 or the footpaths through the village. Until the first Severn and Wye Bridge crossing was opened in 1966, the A48 was part of the main route between London and South Wales. For a while the volume of traffic was greatly reduced, however the volume has increased with time. Possible reasons: 1. In 1966 not every household had a car, now 50 years later it is not uncommon for a household to have four cars. 2. Tolls on the Severn Bridge used to be split both ways but were changed to West bound only entry into Wales, hence a large number of HGV type vehicles now avoid the tolls by driving down the A48 to South Wales.

  • The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 (Mphil
    The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 Alexander Higgins A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Historical Studies, November 2012. 24,884 words. Abstract After a fifteen-year campaign, Gloucester became an independent head port in 1580. This effectively ended Bristol’s long-standing jurisdiction over the Gloucestershire reaches of the River Severn and resulted in the loss of the greater part of Bristol’s historic port. This dissertation explores Bristol’s objections to this change and examines the prosecution of their complaints through the equity side of the Exchequer court. Primarily, this study focuses upon two commissions created by the Crown to review the case. The interrogatories and depositions produced by these commissions are used to explore the nature of this dispute, the motivation behind Bristol’s objections and why Gloucester ultimately retained its head port status. The first chapter focuses upon the practical implementation of the commissions. Rather than relying upon the legal records alone, this study uses letters, accounts and reports produced by the two parties to explore the workings of a commission. This approach reveals the extent of Bristol and Gloucester’s attempts to manipulate proceedings to their own advantage. These findings have significant implications on the impartiality of Tudor legal process and the reliability of the Exchequer records. The second chapter examines the findings of the two commissions to assess the nature and strength of Bristol’s arguments. It is shown that many of these arguments were unsubstantiated.

    SEVERN ESTUARY SCRUTINY TASK GROUP 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The task group was set up following concerns raised by Councillors Tony Blackburn, Basil Booth and Martin Quaile at the Environment Scrutiny Committee in September 2011.
