Country Properties Offers Over £460,000 The Lodge, Dadlington Road, Shenton, Nuneaton CV13 6DJ Country Properties Offers over £460,000 GENERAL The Lodge, as the name suggests, was built in 19th century as a Lodge House for Shenton Hall and has been in the ownership of the Wollaston family ever since. The Lodge sits in gardens extending to 0.4 acres and is in a quite glorious and idyllic country setting . It should be noted that the property is not listed and there may therefore be potential, subject to the appropriate consents for the property to be further developed and extended. It is rare that a property with this kind of heritage comes to the market with so much potential to create a truly wonderful country property. We recommend that purchasers who wish to further develop the property contact Hinckley and Bosworth District Council to establish whether their proposals are likely to be acceptable. LOCATION The Lodge is in a stunning setting in the Parish of Shenton and approximately two miles to the north of Dadlington. The majority of the village of Shenton has been in the ownership of the Wollaston family since 1625.

  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

All British butterflies are active in daylight hours thus separating them from the majority of moths. Additionally, British butterflies (but not necessarily else- where) can be readily distinguished from day-flying moths by the presence of clubbed antennae. The only possible confusion which may arise is with the moth-like skippers but close examination of the antennae will help identification. The taxonomy of the British butterflies varies according to the literature consulted. In the present study the system of nomenclature used by Emmet & Heath in "The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and lreland" (MGBGI) has been followed. According to this nomenclature five families of butterflies are found in Britain. Hesperiidae (skippers) grassland insects often associated with woodland edge and hedgerows; moth-Iike when at rest and easily overlooked because of their unobtrusive behaviour. Papilionidae (swallowtails) - the British swallowtail is restricted to parts of East Anglia. Pieridae (whites, sulphurs) perhaps the most familiar of the British butterflies being found in a range of habitats; the clouded yellow is an occasional migrant; it is thought v by some t.hat migratory large whit.es may swell local populations although this is disputed by others.

    Bosworth Battlefield: The Way Forward Final: August 2013 Alison Farmer Associates 29 Montague Road Cambridge CB4 1BU 01223 461444 [email protected] in association with Carolyn Lloyd Brown FTS MAHI and Countryscape 2 Acknowledgements Alison Farmer Associates would like to thank all parties for their contributions to the development and formation of Bosworth Battlefield: The Way Forward. It has been invaluable in helping to shape the production of this document and consider the opportunities for future approaches to caring for and sustaining the wider Battlefield landscape. Leicestershire County Council would also like to thank the Landowners and other partners for their considerable support for the research and development surrounding the archaeological survey and associated activities over the past fifteen years. This support has been significant in helping to create a first class heritage centre with an international audience. As one of many stakeholders in the Battlefield area, we look forward to continuing to work with our partners in understanding and preserving the landscape. English Heritage Leicestershire County Council 44 Derngate County Hall Northampton Glenfield NN1 1UH Leicestershire LE3 8RA 3 Executive Summary Introducing the Bosworth Battlefield Area The Battle of Bosworth is a well-known historical event marking a turning point in English history. The Battle took place on the 22 August 1485 between King Richard III and Henry Tudor, who would later be crowned Henry VII. Arguably it marks the end of the Wars of the Roses. This event has accrued even greater significance following the discovery of the remains of Richard III in Leicester in 2012 and plans for a Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester, with a re-emphasis on the heritage of the area and the increased interest from tourists, local communities and schools.

  • Ashby Canal Conservation Area Management Plan
    ASHBY CANAL CONSERVATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF ASHBY CANAL CONSERVATION AREA November 2009 Built as a broad gauge navigation, many stretches of the Ashby Canal possesses all the attractions of a natural river. One of the numerous single arched bridges that span the canal generally built in blue or brindle blue bricks. The bridges are important features associated with the canal’s industrial heritage that should be retained at all cost. Unfortunately, a number of bridges are in need of repair and maintenance. A maintenance programme is required in order not to loose any more bridges as bridge 18 has already been lost when it was demolished just before the Ashby Canal was designated a conservation area. Repair work should be carried out utilizing traditional matching materials and method of construction. The use of modern materials is unacceptable. Bridge 31 is in a very dangerous state of repair and now requires partial demolition and re-building. British Waterways has agreed to re-build the parapet and affected buttress in April 2010 One of two aqueducts on the Ashby Canal sited at Shenton and Shackerstone. This one built in brindle blue brick on a high embankment which reaches a height of 20 feet or more spans the road into Shenton. The Shackerstone aqueduct built in blue brick with stone copings spans the River Sence The modern canal mileposts, cast in metal, replaced the traditional mileposts that were made from timber railway sleepers. The new mile posts, many of which now require painting, have been cast in a similar design to the original ones.

  • Appendix 9 Chronology of the Bosworth Battlefield Area Neolithic
    Appendix 9 Chronology of the Bosworth Battlefield Area Neolithic Period • Stone and flint axes have been found in the general area around the Fenn Hole Marsh • Dispersed settlements with intensive land use leading to widespread clearing of woodland Bronze Age • Axe hammer found prior to survey • Round barrow near Sutton Cheney • A few wide spread bronze objects (axe and spear head fragments) and flint scatters found in the survey Iron Age • Late Iron Age coin found in the survey • No pottery recorded to date, but almost certainly heavily populated. • Potential evidence of a hamlet or religious site from the Late Iron Age seen in geophysical survey, which identified enclosures and some very late Iron Age/Early Roman finds on Ambion Hill Roman Period • A probable Roman temple site on Ambion Hill, with geophysical survey identifying enclosures and trackway/road. Objects including pottery, statuette fragments, brooches, coins and kiln debris found on the Western side of Ambion Hill. Date range postulated as late 1 st C BC – late 4 th C AD • Building of a Roman road known today as Fenn Lane south of Ambion Hill, probably mid - late 1 st C AD. • Roman occupation scatter north of Fenn Lane, dated 2 nd – 4th C – just possibly a market / trading activity, as several steelyard weights have been found. Early – Middle Anglo Saxon Period • Absence of evidence probably due to lack of fieldwork and difficulty of finding handmade pottery in heavily ploughed soil rather than absence of settlement. A single brooch fragment found on Ambion Hill Roman site – possibly from a burial.
