The new school will have a capacity of 210 pupils, as well as an onsite Nursery provision and will be situated on land previously used as the Kings Cliffe site for Oundle and Kings Cliffe Middle School. The site is located towards the northern extent of Kings Cliffe village, and is accessed off Kings Forest as shown on the plan enclosed in Appendix A. 1.2 There is an existing Lower School situated within Kings Cliffe - Kings Cliffe Endowed School (current role 116 pupils and provides pupil places from Foundation to Year 4 (4 – 9 years of age). It is proposed to relocate the existing Lower School to the site at Kings Forest in addition to expanding the School to become a 1 FE Primary School (4 – 11 years of age). 1.3 There has been an increase in the demand of school places within Kings Cliffe village. The proposed redevelopment will allow Kings Cliffe to remain self-sustaining and enable the existing Primary School provision to cater to a larger proportion of the village. There is no scope to develop the existing Lower School site any further, as four out of five year groups are currently at or above capacity. 1.4 The creation of a new school enables the Education Authority to place the School in the best position to serve the anticipated catchment area. This is likely to reduce overall travel distance to / from the school in the future; hence, encourage the promotion of more sustainable travel methods. 1.5 The objective of this report is to provide the Planning Authority and Local Highway Authority (LHA) with sufficient information to consider the highways issues of the proposed redevelopment for a detailed planning application. The report will follow the general principles set out in the now archived Department for Transport’s (DfT’s) publication ‘Guidance on Transport Assessment’ (GTA). 1.6 This report was scoped with Mr Terry Chapman of Northamptonshire Highways (NH), acting on behalf of the LHA – Northamptonshire County Council, who advised that a Transport Statement would be the appropriate level of assessment for the proposed new Primary School.

The site catered for pupils from age 9 to 13 and had some 224 pupils on role when last occupied. 2.1.2 The existing Middle School consists of 4 main buildings all joined by connecting walk through links. The remainder of the site comprises a MUGA and a multi-purpose playing field. 2.1.3 The School site is bounded by the carriageways of Willow Lane and Kings Forest at the South Eastern and South Western site boundaries. The School ownership site boundary is generally delineated by open mesh perimeter fencing. 2.1.4 There are two separate in and out gates for vehicular access. 2.1.5 There are currently 21 on site car parking spaces, with no disabled spaces. 2.2 Proposed Redevelopment 2.2.1 It is proposed to demolish the existing Middle School and construct a new 1 FE Primary School at the site. The new Primary School is expected to have a maximum total capacity for 210 pupils. The Nursery provision is expected to have no more than 30 pupils. 2.2.2 The proposed school redevelopment site is expected to cover an area of approximately 19,000m2. Refer to Appendix B for a copy of the Proposed Site Plan. 2.2.3 The school will be provided with 28 car parking spaces, including 3 disabled spaces. Each disabled car parking space is expected to have a 1.2m hatched strip on each side of the car parking space. 2.2.4 An internal drop off zone will be provided between the vehicular entrance and exit access, with capacity for 10 car spaces. 2.2.5 The access road and pedestrian link to the adjacent site – Plot 2, will be maintained for future development. Within the site boundary, the access road will be widened to 7.3m. 2.2.6 The main school building will consist of facilities suitable for Key Stage 1 and 2.

The accesses are approximately 7m and 8m wide respectively. 3.3 There is a footpath and grass verge located on the Southern side of the Kings Forest carriageway. The footpath generally varies in width from 1.3m to 1.6m. It is proposed to expand this length of footpath to a 2m width. The grass verge generally varies in width from 2.1m to 2.4m. 3.4 In the vicinity of the site Kings Forest is a cul-de-sac which serves as access to residential properties situated along the carriageway. 3.5 There is an existing lay-by situated adjacent the main vehicular access, which currently has capacity to accommodate a standard coach. 3.6 The area surrounding the proposed redevelopment site benefits from numerous footways providing easy access to all areas of Kings Cliffe village. 3.7 Footways within the vicinity of the existing Middle School site appear to be of sufficient width to provide adequate facilities to the future pedestrian users expected to be associated with the proposed 1 FE Primary School. 3.8 Kings Forest is subject to a 30mph (48kph) speed restriction and benefits from the presence of street lighting. 3.9 Kings Forest connects to Wood Road through a 4 arm give way priority mini-roundabout. Wood Road is a single carriageway which passes from West to East through the centre of Kings Cliffe village. Wood Road connects to the majority of residential dwellings situated within Kings Cliffe village.

It has been identified within the Rutland Landscape Character Assessment (2003) as being within the ‘Middle Valley East’ of the ‘Welland Valley’ character area which is ‘a relatively busy, agricultural, modern landscape with many settlements and distinctive valley profiles.’ The river Chater is an important natural feature of the village and within the valley are a number of meadow areas between Aldgate and Bull Lane that contribute towards the rural character of the conservation area. The south western part of the conservation area is particularly attractive with a number of tree groups at Ketton Park, the private grounds of the Priory and The Cottage making a positive contribution. The attractive butter coloured stone typical of Ketton is an important feature of the village. The stone quarry and cement works which opened in 1928 is located to the north. A number of famous buildings have been built out of Ketton Stone, such as Burghley House and many of the Cambridge University Colleges. Although the Parish Church is of Barnack stone. The historic core is nestled in the valley bottom on the north side of the River Chater and extends in a linear form along the High Street, continuing onto Stamford Road (A6121).

  • Sampson Frisby (13H1): Rediscovering the Career and Milieu of a 17Th‑Century Freemason
    Sampson Frisby (13h1): rediscovering the career and milieu of a 17th‑century freemason by JENNIFER S. ALEXANDER and KATHRYN A. MORRISON Sampson Frisby (1597-1656) was a prolific stonemason, active in Northamptonshire and surrounding counties in the first half of the 17th century. His distinctive personal mason’s mark has been identified in the accounts of Clare College, Cambridge, and discovered on the ashlar of several significant country houses and churches. This allows his career to be reconstructed, beginning in the important workshop of the master mason Thomas Thorpe (c.1565-1626) in Kings Cliffe around 1618. This study reveals how masons’ marks can illuminate the process of building in the early modern period, developing a methodological approach first published by the authors in 2007.1 It additionally stimulates speculation about the career of Sampson’s father, the equally prolific Humphrey Frisby (d.1624/25), and highlights two factors that had a profound effect on the Frisby family and their contemporaries: the supplanting of Kings Cliffe by Ketton as a regional quarrying centre, and the subsequent disruption of the Civil War. BACKGROUND In 2006, working from scaffolding, the authors collated masons’ marks visible on the ashlar stonework of 1622‑24 at Apethorpe Hall (now known as Apethorpe Palace), near Kings Cliffe in Northamptonshire.2 For analysis, these marks were encoded using a formula based on the number of strokes involved, a system originally developed for the study of phasing in ecclesiastical buildings.3 Comparison with sets of marks found on securely attributed buildings of similar date, notably two well‑documented Norfolk houses, Blickling Hall (1618‑23) and Hunstanton Hall (1616‑24), made it possible to identify the Apethorpe master mason as Thomas Thorpe (c.1565‑1626).

  • A History of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 ______Part 1 - Iron Age to the Romans
    A history of Apethorpe – by Richard Parkinson 2012 _________________________________________________ Part 1 - Iron age to the Romans Click the photo to open in larger window In an aerial photograph taken in 1947, there are signs of a pre-historic settlement here consisting of roundhouses and enclosures making up small scale farms probably of Iron Age origin. The closest is about 1OO metres to the west of the Hall and consisting of enclosures and ditch complexes with prehistoric pottery and small amounts of metal work debris found. A later Romano British settlement survives nearby and 1 km away there are signs of an extensive Roman pottery, Nene Valley and Samian ware, (a bright red pottery mostly manufactured in Gaul and Germany in the 1st to 4th century). There is a site of a Roman villa begun toward the end of the 1st Century and gradually extended until it ended up in the 4th century as an imposing courtyard villa with hypercast and bath, and with a formal approach from the south. It was partly excavated in 1859 and could well have functioned as an estate centre. Following the Roman retreat at the beginning of the fifth century we see small paddocks of unequal size and orientation, so people continued to live here during the so called dark ages with the Danes and Vikings slowly conquering the area. At this time the estate appears to have shrunk back to its pre- Roman size at this time. You have to imagine that most of the land around here was covered in forest and that the inhabitants could not and did not travel far.

  • Excursion to Stamford, Collyweston, and Ketton
    EXCURSION TO STAMFORD, COLLYWESTON, AND KETTON. SATURDAY, JUNE 16TH, 1906. Director: BEEBY THOMPSON, F.C.S., F.G.S. Excursion Secretary: W. P. D. STEBBING. (Report 6y THE DIRECTOR.) A PARTY of seven left London by the 8.45 a.m. train from King's Cross (G. N. R), and reached Stamford a little after II a.m., where they were met by the Director. After a short delay, they drove along the road on the southern side of the Weiland valley, towards Easton and Collyweston. Stamford town is mostly on the Lincolnshire Oolite formation, but portions are on the Northampton Sand, and the bed of the river reaches to the Upper Lias Clay. After a rather steep ascent from Stamford, and when nearing Wothorpe with its ruins of an old Burghley mansion, attention was called to exposures of the ferruginous beds of the Northampton Sand by the roadside. These beds are near the base of the Northampton Sand, and are probably about 100 ft. higher than the same beds on the same side of the Weiland Valley, at Stamford. This difference of level is due to a "fault" between Wothorpe and Stamford, running approximately east and west, which "fault" has been traced for several miles in an easterly direction from the Weiland valley. (See Geological Survey Map, Sheet No. 64). From this point, Wothorpe, and the rapidly rising ground between here and Easton-on-the-Hill, good views ofStamford and the Weiland valley were obtained. COLLYWESTON SLATEs.-The Collyweston slate quarries commence soon after passing Easton, and extend for about a mile on each side of the road, right up to the village of Collyweston.
