  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

  • River Mease SAC Developer Contribution Scheme 2 Appendix
    Appendix 1: Measures to be funded through the Developer Contributions Scheme 2 (DCS2) FINAL VERSION (June 2016) The need for DCS2 has been identified in response to the development allocations within the North West Leicestershire District Council Local Plan, which is currently being finalised. The Local Plan was subject to assessment under the Habitats Regulations1 and the Developer Contribution Scheme was identified as a key mechanism to provide NWLDC with the necessary confidence that development allocated within the catchment of the river will not be likely to have a significant effect on the River Mease SAC. The HRA of the Local Plan identified the need for DCS2 to deliver mitigation to facilitate the delivery of 1826 dwellings. On the basis of the estimated P loadings to the river from receiving works provided in E&F of DCS2, an estimate of phosphate contributions from these dwellings represents an increased loading of 329g P/day. Of critical importance to the development of DCS2, is an agreement which has been reached since the development and implementation of DCS1. Following recent discussions between Natural England, the Environment Agency and Severn Trent Water, the following statement has been issued. Severn Trent, Environment Agency and Natural England have assessed the options to meet the SAC conservation objectives in relation to flow and phosphate, and agree that pumping sewage effluent from Packington and Measham sewage works out of the Mease catchment is the most effective long term solution. The primary reason to move flow out of the River Mease catchment would be to ensure the SAC flow targets are met.

  • 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.
