Responsibility for publication was entrusted by the Society to a Records Section which has already produced two volumes of Marriage Licences and Marriage Allegations and two volumes of parish registers, records in which the late Mr. Robinson was particularly interested. In addition, it has issued a complete guide to the parish records of Bristol and Gloucestershire, and earlier this year it published the Church Book of St. Ewen's, Bristol, which contains a wealth of material relating to the life of an important Bristol parish in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Records Section wishes to express its thanks to Mr. Irvine Gray, Past President of the Society, who has rendered so many valuable services to historical and archaeological studies and who has now made available a calendar of the settlement papers of Cheltenham relating to a particularly interesting period in its history. His book is all the more welcome because settlement examinations, in spite of their great interest in relation to movements of population and the life of the poorer sections of the community, have not hitherto been published by Record Societies. Another volume of Marriage Allegations in the Diocese of Gloucester is in an advanced stage of preparation under the terms of Mr. Robinson’s legacy. The Society has now decided to authorize the Records Section to publish from time to time records other than parish records. For this purpose, cost of publication will be met from general funds and not from the Robinson Bequest. The additional volumes will include not only archive material but also works based on a detailed study of records. The first volume to be published will be Local Government in Gloucestershire, 1775-1800: A Study of the fustices of the Peace, by Esther Moir. Patrick McGrath, Hon. General Editor. ix CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION xiii NOTES ON THE OFFICIATING JUSTICES .. xxii NOTE ON THE FORM OF ABSTRACTS OF EXAMINATIONS . XXIV CHELTENHAM SETTLEMENT EXAMINATIONS I INDEX 95 xi INTRODUCTION The Law of Settlement Under the system of poor relief created by the celebrated Elizabethan Acts of 1597 and 1601, overseers of the poor were to be appointed annually for every parish by the justices of the peace, and were to provide work or maintenance for the indigent poor. Funds were to be provided out of parish rates. ‘Wherever a pauper became unable to support himself, there he had to be maintained.’1 Half a century later, when the Civil War had seriously increased the numbers and mobility of the poorer classes, ‘some defects in the law concerning the settling of the poor’ had become apparent. The preamble to the Act of Settlement, 1662,2 complains that ‘poor people are not restrained from going from one parish to another and therefore do endeavour to settle themselves in those parishes where there is the best stock, the largest commons or wastes to build cottages, and the most woods for them to bum and destroy; and when they have consumed it, then to another parish, and at last become rogues and vagabonds, to the great discouragement of parishes to provide stocks where it [stc] is liable to be devoured by strangers’.3 It was accordingly enacted that any persons coming to settle in a parish, in any tenement under the yearly value of £10, might, if considered likely to become chargeable to the parish, be removed by order of two justices to the place where they were legally settled, ‘either as a native, householder, sojourner, apprentice, or servant’. There was a right of appeal to Quarter Sessions. Thus was founded the law of settlement, to which the poor were subjected for the next two hundred years. Later Acts introduced modifications. In 16914 several means of acquiring a legal settlement were defined: serving a parish office, paying parish rates, being apprenticed in the parish, and serving a year’s hiring in it if un­ married and childless. Ownership of an estate, however small, also conferred settlement by virtue of decisions of the court.5 To determine the place of settlement a deposition on oath called an ‘examination’ was made by the pauper before two justices of the peace. 1 A. F. Vulliamy, The Law of Settlement and Removal (1895), Introduction, p. 1. 1 14 Car. II, cap. 12. 3 It is difficult to say whether there was any evidence to support this asser­ tion; perhaps what lay behind the Act was the desire of the London parishes to check the influx of those who might become a burden on the rates. 4 3 Wm. & Mary, cap. 11. 5 From 1723, by 9 Geo. I, cap. 7, property purchased had to be worth at least Z3O. xiii CHELTENHAM SETTLEMENT EXAMINATIONS, 1815-1826 Successive legislation, as the author of The Parish Chest observes, 'seems to have been designed in general to deal with abuses in the existing system, and to ensure that some regard was paid to the claims of humanity in its administration’.1 Meanwhile, throughout the 18th century, disputes between parishes over settlement cases occupied much of the time of Quarter Sessions, and consumed in legal costs vast sums of money which might more usefully have been devoted to the relief of the poor.

A gathering of more than 50 people heard Neela, a local history expert and a FOLK member, pay tribute to Walter Ballinger and the other Stalwarts, who were imprisoned in 1906 as a result of their action to secure public access to the Hill. The Wheatsheaf was the headquarters for the Stalwarts and so it is fitting that the new plaque will be a permanent reminder of the sacrifice they made so that future generations could continue to enjoy the Hill. The Leckhampton Local History Society organised the event with their members being half of the gathering. FOLK was well represented. Martin Horwood, Leckhampton ward Borough Councillor and a supporter of FOLK was present. The current owner of the Dale Forty Piano company, Colin Crawford attended the unveiling. Colin is not related to Henry Dale, who bought the site in 1894 and was a protagonist in the drama, but he has an interest in the history. Walkers along the Cotswold Way from Hartley Lane will be able to see another plaque dedicated to a Stalwart and more information on the battle for access is available on the FOLK website www.leckhamptonhill.org.uk/site- description/history.

  • The Portland Square and Albert Place District: Land, Houses and Early Occupants As Originally Published in the Cheltenham Local History Society Journal
    The Portland Square and Albert Place District: land, houses and early occupants As originally published in the Cheltenham Local History Society Journal. Reproduced with the kind permission of the Author MIKE GRINDLEY T'is gone with its thorns and its roses, With the dust of dead ages to mix! Time's charnel forever encloses The year Eighteen Hundred and Six THUS THE LOCAL PRESS i alluded to the 1806 Cheltenham Inclosure Award which allotted ownership of areas of potential building land on the north side of the town, including the piece of orchard that later became the Portland Square development. Numbered 223 under the Award, it bordered the Prestbury Road opposite the SE edge of the future Pittville Estate; to the south were the lands on which the streets of Fairview came to be built. Detail from Merrett’s 1834 map of Cheltenham, showing extent of Portland Square development by then. THE LAND AND ITS OWNERS: 1739 ­ 1824 The earliest mention of land so far seen in Portland Square deeds ii is in the November 1739 Will of Samuel Whithorne Esq., of the ancient Charlton Kings family. On 2 January 1801 his grandson, John Whithorne the younger, sold to William Wills of Cheltenham, gent., for £200 ‘all those three acres and a half of arable land [in four lots] lying dispersedly in and about a field in the parish of Cheltenham called Sandfield, otherwise Prestbury Field, otherwise Whaddon Field’. The tenant was John Peacey, a Charlton Kings plasterer. William Wills was a peruke maker of the then 48 High Street, who died in Spring 1804, leaving all his houses and lands to his widow Penelope, their son William to inherit on her death.
