    Annual Newsletter Copy

    HARLESTONE HOUND Annual Parish Meeting Newsletter Welcome to this Annual Parish Newsletter - it replaces our Annual Parish Meeting. The Parish meeting is usually hosted by the parish council in May and is our opportunity as parishioners to get together to hear about all the work, events, organisations that are part of our parish. COVID prevents us from meeting face-to-face and we felt that Zoom just wouldn’t do it justice. We hope you enjoy this newsletter Harlestone Parish Councillors… “unmute, unmute!” Throughout this year, we’ve all got to grips with Zoom… and now we’ve got the hang of it, we’ll be back to face-to-face meetings! Hooray! Although Cllr Sue Flynn wasn’t able to attend this meeting, we were joined by new councillor Rupert Knowles and Cllrs Russ Francis, Susie Holland, Ken Waller, Tim Cross, Toni Perryman, Sarah Stock and our clerk, Paul Thomas are looking forward to things returning to normal soon. From Russ Francis, HPC Chairman It was March 2020; and we were returning from visiting family in Sydney. Those of you who have made this journey will be fully aware of just how long and very dull and boring it can be, so there was surprise when my mind focussed on a ridiculous news headline which read "Coronavirus leads to shortage of toilet rolls". Our next brush with the impending pandemic was being temperature tested at Singapore airport, but we passed through arrivals at Heathrow without any indication of what was to come. It was only a matter of days before Boris announced full LOCKDOWN! What was in store? What lay ahead? Life without toilet rolls! The local response was excellent, a community shop was established, initially providing doorstep deliveries to those isolated and shielding at home.
  • The Harlestone Parish Council Have Noted the Content of the Draft

    The Harlestone Parish Council Have Noted the Content of the Draft

    Harlestone Parish Council Response and Comments to the Daventry District Council Draft Version of Harlestone Parish Housing Needs Survey April 2012 The Harlestone Parish Council have noted the content of the draft version of the Housing Needs Survey report and Harlestone Parish Council comments are outlined in this re- sponse. Introduction: The Objective appears to be more of a ‘Principle’ rather than an ‘Objective’. Objectives should be made clear and be more in keeping with those objectives outlined in the Nation- al planning Policy Framework (9March 2012) NPPF 2012. Strong Community and Individuals. This requires explanation as this is ambiguous and could cover a multitude of topics. The Objectives should be given further consideration and suggest it has several specific key objectives. 1. Safe Place To Live. A law abiding community that discourage crime within and outside of the Parish. 2. Sustainable Community. A key objective is missing ‘Sustainability’ is absolutely essen- tial. Too many housing projects to meet certain needs have over a period of years seen the housing and the communities fall into disrepair and this must be avoided in the Har- lestone Parish. 3. Conserving And Enhancing The Harlestone Village Character and Environment. Harlestone Parish is an area of outstanding beauty and one that is unusually close to the urban districts of Northampton. The Uniqueness of Lower Harlestone (Conservation Area) and Upper Harlestone (Restraint Village) have been designated as such for ex- tremely good reason outlined in ‘The Saved Policies from the Daventry District Local Plan 1997’. 4. Conserving And Enhancing The Historic Environment. Harlestone Parish Have 59 Listed Buildings of which 47 are residential properties and taking into account the un- usually high percentage of Listed Buildings, Harlestone Parish is a National Historic as- set that should be protected by conserving the setting, the environment and the rural and agricultural community.
  • Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN

    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN

    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* By JOHN MARTIN Abstract It is commonly accepted that there was a slackening of the enclosure movement, if not outright reconversion to arable, in England in the latter half of the sixteenth century. This is usually ascribed to lower wool prices making shecp-grazing less attractive. There are difficulties with this pcrspective linking prices and enclosure activity directly. The example of Northampton- shire, a county in the forefront of enclosure, suggests that there was no trend away from sheep-farming. Two surveys of sheep numbers on enclosed pasture, conducted in 1547 and 1564, indicate that sheep-grazing spread throughout the county, and that grazing was concentrated on deserted village sites. Whilc there was some reduction in the size of large flocks, this was more than balanced by the proliferation of smaller flocks - overall sheep numbers increased in this pcriod. By the end of the century, sheep flocks were grazing on enclosed pasture in half of thc parishes in Northamptonshirc. INCE Bowden's detailed work on wool prices was its role in explaining the pattern prices for the period 149o-161o , it of the Tudor enclosure movement. He S has been argued that, after the mid- sought to draw a dividing line down the sixteenth century, lower wool prices rela- middle of the sixteenth century on this tive to those of wheat deflected graziers basis. from sheep-farming and halted the process Thc rcason why farmers were enclosing their land of enclosure, or even caused a considerable for pasture in thc first half of the sixteenth century reconversion of pasture to arable land.
