Fitzpatrick-Matthews Introduction The ‘small towns’ of Roman Britain are the under-theorised ‘Cinderellas’ of the province’s archaeology yet, at the same time, they should be regarded as the great success story of Roman rule. They were the dominant class of urban settlement, with a huge variety of forms, presumably reflecting different social, economic and political roles. Yet studies of the fifth- century collapse of urban civilisation in Britain focus almost exclusively on the major cities and ignore the ‘small towns’. However, because of their diversity, they have the potential to offer unique insights into the processes that operated from the early fifth century on, to transform Roman Britain into the early medieval successor states.

Each one is of ‘special’ architectural or historic importance, with a character or appearance to be preserved or enhanced. Conservation areas are an important part of our heritage and each one is unique and irreplaceable. Their special qualities appeal to visitors and are attractive places to live and work. They provide a strong sense of place and are part of the familiar and local cherished scene. 1.2 Conservation areas are based around groups of buildings, and the spaces created between and around them. It is the quality and interest of areas, rather than that of individual buildings that are the prime consideration in identifying conservation areas. Each area is different and has a distinct character and appearance. Conservation Area Legislation, Government Guidance and Development Plans Conservation Area Legislation 1.3 Conservation areas are defined in The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’.

    The Cemeteries of Roman Baldock

    The Cemeteries of Roman Baldock KEITH J. FITZPATRICK-MATTHEWS North Hertfordshire Museum [email protected] The ancient town of Baldock occupies a shallow bowl in the hills that run west-southwest to east-northeast through North Hertfordshire, a north- eastern extension of the Chilterns (Figure 1). It lies close to the source of the River Ivel, which flows northwards to join the Bedfordshire Ouse, but is not situated on a river. It is also at a road junction, with pre-Roman tracks from Braughing, Verulamium, and Sandy converging with the line of the Icknield Way to the southeast of the springs. It seems to have functioned as a local market centre, with evidence for small-scale craft production, although osteological evidence suggests that a proportion of the townspeople were agricultural labourers. Even so, there is evidence from all periods of a degree of personal wealth and literacy that places at least some of the inhabitants in the upper strata of Romano-British society. This view of the town contrasts with Stead’s (1975, 128) dismissive comment that the town resembled an overgrown Little Woodbury Iron Age farm. Instead, the evidence now points to its success as a cult centre of at least sub-regional importance. Lead sealings that apparently name the settlement and its council (C·VIC—either Curia Vic… or C Vicanorum) demonstrate the presence of a curial class employing the trappings at least Figure 1.

The last Order under Section 51 of the Local Government Act 1972 in relation to electoral arrangements for districts in the county of Hertfordshire was made' on 29 November 1978. As required by Section 63 and Schedule 9 of the Act we have now reviewed the electoral arrangements for that county, using the procedures we had set out in our Report No 6. 2. We informed the Hertfordshire County Council in a consultation letter dated 30 April 1979 that we proposed to conduct the review, and sent copies of the lettei to all local authorities and parish meetings in the county, to the MPs representing the constituencies concerned, to the headquarters of the main political parties and to the editors both of local newspauers circulating in the county and of the local government press. Notices in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from"members of the public and from interested bodies. 3. On 20 September 1979 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in which they suggested 77 electoral divisions for the county, each returning one member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act.
