Bentons 47 Nottingham Street, Melton Mowbray, LE13 1NN 01664 563892 Energy LOCATION Performance Certificate Below is the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for Station Lane Energy Performance Certificates illustrate the energy efficiency of homes on a scale from A to G. Those in Band A are the most efficient, and will usually have the lowest fuel bills. The same scale is used to define the impact of a property on the environment. Higher rated homes will usually have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To put this in perspective, the average property in the UK is in band D or E for both ratings. The Certificate also makes energy saving recommendations that may help reduce future energy bills. In some cases, these can be financed under the Government's Green Deal. In effect, Green Deal offers UK home-owners a loan, which is repaid through regular electricity bills. The main loan condition (the "Golden Rule") is that the amount saved each year on energy bills should be more than the cost of annual loan repayments. Note that the loan stays with the house when owners move on.

  • LATE MESOLITHIC and BEAKER ASSEMBLAGES from EXCAVATIONS at LOUGHBOROUGH ROAD, ASFORDBY Wayne Jarvis
    LATE MESOLITHIC AND BEAKER ASSEMBLAGES FROM EXCAVATIONS AT LOUGHBOROUGH ROAD, ASFORDBY Wayne Jarvis with contributions from: Matthew Beamish, Lynden Cooper, Nicholas J. Cooper, Angela Monckton, Harriet Anne Jacklin, Göran Possnert and Ingela Sundström Between 2009 and 2011, archaeological excavations were carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on a site at Loughborough Road, Asfordby, Leicestershire (SK 701 192), which revealed traces of activity dating to the Mesolithic, Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The work was carried out on behalf of Jelson Ltd, in advance of and during residential development of the site. This report highlights evidence of Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age occupation which yielded a significant assemblage of worked flint, and the largest assemblage of Beaker pottery found so far in Leicestershire, and of earlier occupation in the form of a Late Mesolithic lithic assemblage preserved in a tree throw hole. The site archive will be held with Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A124. 2008. INTRODUCTION During excavations carried out in advance of residential development at Loughborough Road, Asfordby, Leicestershire, archaeological activity was identified from the Mesolithic, Late Neolithic–Early Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The site is located on the north-west edge of Asfordby village, to the south of the A6006 and on the north-east side of Loughborough Road at NGR SK 701 192 (Fig. 1). It covers an area of c.1.8ha, which had been undeveloped pasture since the late nineteenth century. The site lies at a height of between c.75.6m OD at the west and c.78.3m in the centre-north of the site, where there is a slight crest.

    Rutland and Melton Labour Party 16 July 2015 The Review Officer (Leicestershire) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP Dear Sir Leicestershire County Council Boundaries in the Borough of Melton Mowbray I write on behalf of the Rutland and Melton Constituency Labour Party. We have serious concerns about the proposals of Leicestershire County Council as they affect Melton Town and adjacent rural communities. It is easy to be critical but we have put considerable effort into working up a positive alternative that: Ensures, as far as reasonably possible, equality of representation, keeping within the Local Boundary Commission’s tolerance of 10% Recognises the interests, identities and needs of rural and urban communities, including the need for the recognisable community of Melton Town to be suitably represented Promotes effective and convenient local government by creating divisions that are an appropriate size so as to be easily manageable in terms of representation, and have clear boundaries. 1. Proposals a. Melton Town to have two Divisions: Melton East with 10,5101 voters (variance +5.33%) Melton West with 10,384 voters (variance +4.65%) b. Rural areas to have two divisions: Asfordby with 9,319 voters (variance -6.35%) Belvoir with 9,590 voters (variance -3.63%) 2. Urban & Rural Community Interests We set out to address the importance of the diverse interests and community identities of the town and villages across the Borough of Melton Mowbray. Melton Town does not have a Town Council and depends upon its Borough and County elected representatives to consider its particular interests, opportunities and challenges.

    1 Medieval Rothley, Leicestershire: a peculiar parish Vanessa McLoughlin Many people when setting out on the quest for answers to the history of their locality look to their village church for clues. How old is the standing fabric? Why is the church situated where it is? What can the various alterations within the church building tell us about the fate and fortunes of its parishioners in the past? What do its tombs and monuments tell us of the individuals who once served in the community? Rothley church is no exception. It has been studied by many in the past, and what a rich past it has had! However, this past has a context and some attempt has been made below to set the church in its broader landscape and historical setting by examining its origins and raison d'etre . There is much yet to discover, and this journey has only just begun. 1 A brief history of the rectory The earliest recorded information for Rothley can be found in the Domesday Book in which a priest is recorded and this is enough to suggest the presence of a church within the settlement in the late eleventh century. 2 Rothley belonged to the king 1 This article, which is an adaptation of a chapter from a PhD thesis, seeks to assemble the evidence which supports the postulation that the church of Rothley could once have been a tenth-century minster established during an ecclesiastical reorganisation. For further details see V. McLoughlin, ' Medieval Rothley, Leicestershire: manor, soke and parish ' , PhD thesis, English Local History (Leicester, 2006).

  • Making and Breaking Microliths: a Middle Mesolithic Site at Asfordby, Leicestershire
    Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 83, 2017, pp. 43–96 © The Prehistoric Society doi:10.1017/ppr.2017.7 First published online 5 October 2017 Making and Breaking Microliths: A Middle Mesolithic Site at Asfordby, Leicestershire By LYNDEN P. COOPER1, and WAYNE JARVIS1 with contributions by ALEX BAYLISS2, MATTHEW G. BEAMISH1, CHRISTOPHER BRONK RAMSEY3, JENNIFER BROWNING1, RHEA BRETTELL4 GORDON COOK5, ADRIAN EVANS4, CARL HERON4, and RICHARD MACPHAIL6 Archaeological fieldwork preceding housing development revealed a Mesolithic site in a primary context. A central hearth was evident from a cluster of calcined flint and bone, the latter producing a modelled date for the start of occupation at 8220–7840 cal BC and ending at 7960–7530 cal BC (95% probability). The principal activity was the knapping of bladelets, the blanks for microlith production. Impact-damaged microliths indicated the re-tooling of hunting weaponry, while microwear analysis of other tools demonstrated hide working and butchery activity at the site. The lithics can be classified as a Honey Hill assemblage type on the basis of distinctive leaf-shaped microlithic points with inverse basal retouch. Such assemblages have a known concentration in central England and are thought to be temporally intermediate between the conventional British Early and Late Mesolithic periods. The lithic assemblage is compared to other Honey Hill type and related Horsham type assemblages from south-eastern England. Both assemblage types are termed Middle Mesolithic and may be seen as part of wider developments in the late Preboreal and Boreal periods of north-west Europe. Rapid climatic warming at this time saw the northward expansion of deciduous woodland into north-west Europe.
