  • SCUDAMORE FAMILIES of WELLOW, BATH and FROME, SOMERSET, from 1440
    Skydmore/ Scudamore Families of Wellow, Bath & Frome, Somerset, from 1440 Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study 2015 www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com [email protected] SKYDMORE/ SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF WELLOW, BATH AND FROME, SOMERSET, from 1440. edited by Linda Moffatt ©2016, from the original work of Warren Skidmore. Revised July 2017. Preface I have combined work by Warren Skidmore from two sources in the production of this paper. Much of the content was originally published in book form as part of Thirty Generations of The Scudamore/Skidmore Family in England and America by Warren Skidmore, and revised and sold on CD in 2006. The material from this CD has now been transferred to the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. Warren Skidmore produced in 2013 his Occasional Paper No. 46 Scudamore Descendants of certain Younger Sons that came out of Upton Scudamore, Wiltshire. In this paper he sets out the considerable circumstantial evidence for the origin of the Scudamores later found at Wellow, Somerset, as being Bratton Clovelly, Devon. Interested readers should consult in particular Section 5 of this, Warren’s last Occasional Paper, at the same website. The original text used by Warren Skidmore has been retained here, apart from the following. • Code numbers have been assigned to each male head of household, allowing cross-reference to other information in the databases of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study. Male heads of household in this piece have a code number prefixed WLW to denote their origin at Wellow. • In line with the policy of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study, details of individuals born within approximately the last 100 years are not placed on the Internet without express permission of descendants.

They have raised the matter with Hinton Charterhouse Parish Council also, and asked the Parish Council to help to find a solution to these traffic issues. The Parish Council responded that this is an ongoing issue for them also, and that they have taken matters relating numerous places along the entire length of the B3110 from the Cross Keys to Hinton Charterhouse. It was agreed that the Parish Council would again take this matter up, with the new B&NES Cabinet Member for Transport – Mark Shelford, and work with B&NES and Hinton Charterhouse Parish Council to assess all the risks along this length of road in order to establish concrete plans and measures to manage them all. 1. 868 Apologies for Absence – Ms. P.

  • Green Belts: a Greener Future
    Green Belts: a greener future A report by Natural England and the Campaign to Protect Rural England Green Belts: a greener future 1 Green Belts: a greener future A report by Natural England and the Campaign to Protect Rural England Established in 1926, Campaign to Protect Rural England is a charity that exists to promote the beauty, diversity and tranquillity of rural England. CPRE’s 2026: Vision for the Countryside, sets out how we believe rural England should look in the year of our centenary. This research and the recommendations set out in this report will help realize our aspirations for the Green Belt. Established by the Government in 2006, Natural England is here to conserve and enhance the natural environment, for its intrinsic value, the wellbeing and enjoyment of people and the economic prosperity that it brings. The evidence presented in this report is expected to support debate on how the Green Belt can deliver more positive benefits to the environment and to people. Acknowledgements CPRE and Natural England acknowledge contributions to this report from the following organisations: TNS UK Ltd 2 Green Belts: a greener future Foreword We have prepared this report to bring together fresh evidence and ideas to inform the debate on the future of England’s Green Belt. The Green Belt covers nearly 13% of England, significant not only because of its extent, but because it provides both a breath of fresh air for the 30 million people living in or near to our largest towns and cities. Green Belt land faces many challenges. It is expected to meet diverse and often conflicting needs, and attracts considerable scrutiny due to the planning controls which govern it and the urban pressures which it faces.
