  • The Medieval Fishponds of Northamptonshire
    299 THE MEDIEVAL FISHPONDS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE "And many a breem and many a luce in stuwe." Chaucer, Prologue 1.350 THE recent decision of the Rothwell Urban District Council to reverse their policy of filling in and destroying the medieval fishponds a few hundred yards to the south of the church aroused public interest in a little known aspect of medieval life. An attempt will be made here to review the place of fish and fishponds in the medieval economy of Northamptonshire. Very little study has been done on the subject of fishponds. Allcroft, as long ago as 1908, produced a short account of them1 and recently several air photographs have been published.2 In 1966, B. K. Roberts produced an interesting study on a group in the Forest of Arden at Tamworth and he pointed out that not only were they very thick on the ground in his area but they were clearly not a seignorial monopoly and represented an investment of capital which had a prospect of yielding substantial returns.3 The interest of medieval people in eating fish was partly a matter of supplementing a salt meat diet, as was pointed out by Dr. Williams-Freeman.4 "A diet of salted meat with only watercress, pot herbs and a little cabbage for fresh vegetables produced as might be expected much illness ... scurvy and leprosy-loose terms of course, including nearly all skin diseases­ were the scourge of all classes and fresh fish was as great a necessity for a rich man's house as was the deer which he enclosed in his park." It was also, however, considered virtuous to eat fish in preference to meat.

PURPOSE OF REPORT To describe the above proposals To identify and report on the issues arising from it To state a recommendation on the application 2. RECOMMENDATION THE DEVELOPMENT CONTROL MANAGER RECOMMENDS that this application be REFUSED for the following reason(s):- 1. The proposed site lies in open countryside away from the nearest settlements. It lies in an elevated and exposed position within the Geddington Chase Character Area and is strongly representative of the local landscape character. The positioning of residential caravans on this land and the associated development and paraphernalia represents an incongruous feature within the local landscape and open countryside and does not recognise or respect the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside. The proposed landscaping is also incongruous within the naturalistic setting and other landscaping would not overcome the stark appearance of the development. Furthermore, the development harms the experience of users of Public Footpaths HA2 and HA6 who are regarded as being of high sensitivity to change. The application is therefore contrary to policies 2 and 31 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, saved policy 7 of the Local Plan for Kettering Borough, paragraphs 25 and 26 of the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites and paragraph 170 of the NPPF.

  • About Being a Parish Councillor
    About Being A Parish Councillor What do Parish Councils do? Parish councils - also called town councils, neighbourhood councils or community councils in some areas – are responsible for delivering local services. What do Parish Councillors do? Parish councillors make decisions about policies and services, keep an eye on how well things are working and represent local residents. How do I become a Parish Councillor? Most parishes in Northamptonshire have elections in 2021. In this document you can find out if you are eligible to stand for election and how you can apply. What's in it for me and my community? You should consider becoming a parish or town councillor if: o You Want To Do Something Positive for Your Community o You Want To Spend Your Time Productively o You Can Think, Listen and Act Locally What Parish Councils do There are over 10, 000 parish councils (some of which are called town, community or neighbourhood councils) representing around 16 million people across England. They form the most local level of government and cover many rural and urban areas. Northamptonshire has 213 parishes with councils, plus 51 parish meetings (which do not hold elections). Together they cover almost all of the county, with the exception of unparished areas in Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby and the centre of Northampton.
