  • History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold
    History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold Waltham-on-the-Wolds The village is situated in the northeast corner of Leicestershire, five miles from Melton Mowbray, eleven miles from Grantham and approximately twenty miles from Leicester, Nottingham, Newark and Stamford. It is positioned on the eastern edge of the Leicestershire Wolds, overlooking the Vale of Belvoir from a height of 168m (560ft), making it the second highest village in the county. Geologically, Waltham stands on a mixture of clay and red marl with underlying strata of Jurassic limestone, which has been quarried locally and used in the building of many of the older houses in the village. There is little evidence of any settlement in the area earlier than AD 800. The Domesday Book reference to Waltham reveals that the village belonged to Hugh of Grandmesnil who, after the Norman Conquest, was the largest landowner in the county. Hugh allowed a man named Walter to hold a major part of the village and surrounding area. Some say that this arrangement gave Waltham its name – Walt’s Ham (Walter’s Town). However, earlier records refer to the village as Wautham – so another theory is that the name may have been derived from Weald (woody), Ham (town) and, the Saxon word, Wold (a hill or high place). THE WALTHAM TIME-LINE • 1086 Waltham mentioned in the Domesday Book • C1200 St Mary Magdalene Church built • C1300 Church rebuilt • Medieval Era Waltham market & annual fair established under a charter granted by Henry III 5h Century The Horseshoes (later the Royal Horseshoes) built and alterations to the Church • 1541 Parts of the village belonging to the various religious houses at the dissolution of the monasteries were granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Manners, Earl of Rutland • 18th Century Market ceases to trade but annual fair continues – seventeen alehouses in the village.

  • Croxton Kerrial Conservation Appraisal Designated November 1981
    Croxton Kerrial Conservation Area Designated: November 1981 Designating Authority: Melton Borough Council Area: 18.76 hectares Introduction Conservation Areas are 'areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'. Designation of a conservation area recognises the character of an area worthy of preservation and enhancement and ensures the safeguarding of the best of our local heritage as represented by both buildings and the ambient environment, ie: the spaces between and around buildings when viewed as a whole. Local Planning Authorities have a general duty to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of conservation areas, consequently there are more stringent planning controls and obligations in respect of new development, demolitions, alterations, highway works and advertisements. Conservation Area status is not just about the attractive areas of settlements. In some instances, areas, which either contribute little, or are even detrimental to the character of the Conservation Area, are included within the boundary because of their potential for enhancement. Conservation Area status does not mean that new development may not take place but must reflect the local architectural vernacular in scale, siting, massing, details and materials. Special attention should be paid to not only building form but also fenestration and materials. A Character Appraisal is seen as the best method of defining the key elements that contribute to that special historic and architectural character of an area. It is important that all interested parties are aware of those elements that must be preserved or enhanced.
