  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

  • Introduction the Parish of North Nibley
    Introduction This Parish Plan was developed in response to the government’s proposal that rural communities should produce plans "to indicate how they would like their town or village to develop". It was suggested that funding decisions by the district and county councils should take account of these plans. A Survey Questionnaire was prepared and distributed to all households in the Parish, to which 63% responded. An additional questionnaire was included specifically for 7-18 year olds. Gloucestershire Rural Communities Council analysed the replies and the results were presented to the Annual Parish Meeting in 2009. The results were also made available to parishioners and Parish organisations. The results and additional feedback from Parish consultations, to which all residents were invited, were used by a volunteer Steering Group of North Nibley residents to assist them to develop this Plan. The plan identifies issues and concerns of parishioners highlighted through the Survey and consultation meetings. It provides a guide to future actions by the community, the Parish, District and County Councils and external agencies. The Parish of North Nibley North Nibley is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, located close to the river Severn between Bristol and Gloucester. Its name means a farm or settlement on a hilltop. The first record is in the register known as Cartularium Saxonicum in 940 AD as 'hnibban lege'. The village is famously associated with William Tyndale who translated much of the Bible into English. The Tyndale Monument, erected in 1866, is a conspicuous feature on the hill above the village. The Parish was also the scene of the last battle fought in England on 20th March 1469/70, between the private armies of Thomas, Lord Lisle and William, Lord Berkeley at Nibley Green with combined forces of more than 1,000 men.

  • Leonard Stanley Tannery
    Reprinted from: Glouoestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1991 pages 2-12 LEONARD STANLEY TANHERY A Preliminary Report Stephen Mills Background The tannery site had been well-known to the author for some years, and had always presented a picture of disuse and dereliction. Nevertheless, it was apparent that the dilapidated buildings comprised one of the last water-powered tanneries certainly within the county, and’ probably in the West of England. Attempts were. made to survey the site but unfortunately access was denied on a number of occasions. In 1990, a rough survey of the water courses and buildings was made, however this had to be carried out from public roads and adjacent fields; a report was prepared for the GSIA Journal. During the intervening period, the site was sold to a building developer and planning permission was granted for residential development. Unfortunately this only became apparent when the majority of the ancillary buildings had been swiftly demolished and most of the tanning pits destroyed. At this time, all that remained was the main water-powered block, and this too began to rapidly disappear over the course of a few days! When only the floor remained, the author managed to gain access to the site in order to photograph what remained and was both amazed and horrified to find that the lower section of the building contained a number of pieces of machinery of great rarity and importance. At this point, other interested parties were informed and the demolition halted until some form of rescue package could be put into effect.
