BELLAIES presented an audited statement of accounts for the past year, showing a balance of £18. Os. 8d. in favour of the Society. MB. NOBTH (Honorary Secretary) presented and read the following EEPOET OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1864. IT is with pleasure that the continued prosperity of the Society can be reported. The number of members has been increased during the year 1864, by the addition of twenty-five new names, whilst the loss by resignation has been only four, and by death, three. Among the latter we have to lament the decease of our late venerable diocesan, Bishop Davys, of Peterborough. The Bishop, although taking no active part in the proceedings of this Society, always evinced an interest in its welfare, and had for several years been one of its patrons. His deep and earnest piety, the unostentatious filling of his high position, the simplicity of his character, and the courtesy and kindness shewn to all around him should enshrine his memory in the hearts of all within his diocese; whilst Leicestershire and especially Leicester men should remember that the fast days of his life were spent in an anxious en­ deavour to devise means to meet the rapidly increasing spiritual wants of this large town. The Annual Publication of the Society, placed gratutiously in the hands of the members during the past year, comprised interesting reports of the progress of the various societies associated for general purposes, and valuable papers read at their meetings. Our own contributions to that volume (in addition to the annual Report) were a concise Paper, by Mr. H. Goddard, upon The present state of the Jewry Wall, Leicester; sad three Papers read at the summer meeting at Kibworth. Two of the latter, namely, Mr. Levien's, upon the Manors of Kibworth, and Mr. Slater's, upon the Parish Church, will have been read with considerable interest by all, but specially by those of our members residing in that neighbourhood. Mr. Wing's contribution, The Present Requirements of Architecture in order to a successful competition with Antiquity, possesses a wider and more general interest, B VOL. III. 2 LEICESTERSHIRE ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY. as raising questions affecting the progress and development of the art of architecture in this country, and at the present time. In addition to this volume the members have received, gratuitously, Part m. of the transactions of this Society. This part contains one hundred and forty-three pages of letter press profusely illustrated, and records the Papers read before the Society, and the exhibition of antiquities, architectural plans, drawings, &c., at its various meetings, from the 30th August, 1858, to the 28th July 1859, inclusive. For ready help in illustrating this part of our Transactions the members are much indebted to Mr. John Gough Nichols, F.S.A. for the loan of many wood blocks; and to Mr. R. W. Johnson, of Melton Mowhray, for making a special drawing of a recumbent effigy in the church of that town. The interest attaching to the bi-monthly meetings has been fully sustained. Various architectural plans have been submitted to the Committee for their criticism, and many antiquities of considerable local and general interest have been exhibited. Some of the latter were accompanied by descriptive memoirs, and so were rendered additionally valuable. In addition to the short Papers so contributed the following have been read before the Society during the past year: Notes on Misterton Church, by Mr. Wm. Smith, architect; Notes on WymondJiam Church, by a member; History of Earl's Shilton, by the Rev. E. Tower; Ancient Hinckley, by Mr. James Thompson; Notes upon Stockings, by Mr. John Gough Nichols, F.S.A.; Stained Glass Windows, by the Rev. T. Drake; The Jewry WaXL, by Mr. James Thompson; The Bathursts of Hothorpe, by the Rev. J. H. Hill. THE GENERAL MEETING. It was decided in the year 1864, that the general summer meeting should that year be held in Hinckley. The fact that Hinckley had never been visited by the Society, coupled with its accessibility by railway, decided the Committee in its choice. No sooner was the decision known to the vicar and the inhabitants of Hinckley than a public meeting was called, at which, after expressing the pleasure they anticipated from our visit, a local committee, consisting of forty members, was appointed to make arrangements for the intended meeting and excursion. This local committee was headed by the vicar as chairman, and directed by the Rev. E. Tower, the Society's honorary secretary for that district, and by Mr. J. D. Cotman, who filled the arduous post of secretary to the local committee. The days chosen for the proceedings at Hinckley were the 19th and 20th of July. On the first of those days a meeting of the committee was held in the Corn Exchange for the election of members, after which a public assemblage, presided over by the vicar, was opened to welcome the representatives of the Society.

  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people.

  • Questionnaire Analysis May 2017
    Ab Kettleby Parish Neighbourhood Plan Questionnaire Analysis May 2017 OVERVIEW The Parish of Ab Kettleby has commenced the preparation of their Neighbourhood Plan. An important part of this inclusive process is, of course, obtaining the views and aspirations of the community. Key to this has been the development and dissemination of a community questionnaire. 93 The questionnaire contained 26 questions and is based on important themes established following initial RESPONSES consultation work by the Ab Kettleby Parish Council. These themes are: our parish; housing; parish facilities; education; environment & heritage; business; general comments. The survey took place in April 2017. It was available to complete electronically and as a paper copy. The level of response from the community was good, there being 93 responses. This represents a return from over 20% 40% of the adult population, (450 over the age of 18). OF Given that some households chose to respond HOUSEHOLDS collectively rather than as individuals; it is also pertinent to consider the number of responses in relation to the number of households in the Neighbourhood Plan area. The number of responses represents over 40% of the 229 households. This demonstrates the high level of commitment to the 20% Neighbourhood Plan by the small community and, in turn, adds strength to the validity of the collected views OF ADULT expressed. RESIDENTS Population data taken from 2011 Census Page | 1 Responses were received from each of the four settlements within the Ab Kettleby parish as well as non parish resident stakeholders. Non Parish Residents/Stakeholders were a property owner, the Vicar of Ab Kettleby, Holwell and Wartnaby, a person who used to live at Holwell and the treasurer of the Melton Mowbray & District Scout camp site.

  • A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of the Rt Revd Mark Tanner As the 41St Bishop of Chester
    A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of The Rt Revd Mark Tanner as the 41st Bishop of Chester Saturday 26th June at 2.00pm 1 Welcome from Tim Stratford, Dean of Chester A very warm welcome to Chester Cathedral on this significant day in the life of the Church of God and Diocese of Chester. It seems to have taken a long time coming. There has been a long process of discernment and selection which led up to the announcement that Bishop Mark Tanner, then Bishop of Berwick, was to be the forty-first and next Bishop of Chester. This included consultations in communities across the diocese and meetings of the Crown Nominations Commission in which the diocese was represented. Following an announcement made by 10 Downing Street, the College of Canons of this Cathedral met and unanimously elected him. Bishop Mark was confirmed as the Bishop of Chester during online proceedings presided over by the Archbishop of York on Wednesday 15th July last year. At the time we were still in the midst of the first coronavirus lockdown. Archbishop Stephen’s own confirmation had only been completed the week before, and he was still unable to move to York from Chelmsford Diocese. During these proceedings Archbishop Stephen laid a charge on Bishop Mark which is included in these pages. Bishop Mark picked up the reins here in Chester following an innovative “Crozier Service” on 20th September that was created to mark the beginning of his ministry in these unusual times. He was unable formally to occupy the Bishop’s Seat, known as the Cathedra, in the Cathedral Quire until paying homage to Her Majesty the Queen.

  • Reviews Pp.193-202
    Reviews Peter Walker, James II and the Three Questions: Religious Toleration and the Landed Classes, 1687–1688 (Oxford and Berne, Peter Lang, 2010), 223 × 149mm, xxx + 310pp, ISBN 978-3-03911-927-1; ISSN 1661-1985 (pbk), £42. This book is based on the author’s Ph.D. thesis at Leicester University. It examines the attempt by the Catholic, James II, to repeal laws which discriminated against his co-religionists by packing Parliament with his supporters. In the winter of 1677–78, James ordered the lords lieutenants to canvas the gentry of their respective counties with three questions: would they consent to the repeal of the Test Act and the penal laws; would they support candidates who wished to abolish them; and would they accept the Declaration of Indulgence which granted general religious toleration. The author analyses the returns in detail and argues that they failed to garner the King any real support, but he also notes that many of those who responded negatively to the first two questions also answered positively to the third. He argues that this indicates more support for general toleration than has previously been allowed. Chapter 8 on the Leicestershire returns will be of most interest to readers of this journal. The county’s lord lieutenant was Theophilus Hastings, earl of Huntingdon, an appointee of James and pro-Crown despite being a Protestant. The returns contain replies from 27 of the counties landed gentry, whose responses roughly correspond to the national pattern. Only a fifth of the Protestant gentry in the county supported the King, even excluding those who failed to respond.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Kindly typed up for the website by Pat Tritton Preface. In the "Gentleman’s Magazine" for 1829, Part II, page 201, there appears a long letter, signed "Viator Antiquarius", relating to the restoration of Bromley Church. It reads: "Passing through the town of Bromley in Kent the other day, I found the old church there nearly pulled down, nothing remaining but the well-built Gothic tower and portions of the side walls. The gates of the churchyard were fortified with a palisade, so that it was impossible for an antiquary to enter and satisfy himself what might be the probable result to ancient vestiges in the Church of such desecration and destructive appearances …"/. This same "desecration" – usually called "restoration" – has been the fate of most churches, but many have suffered to a far greater extent than that of Bromley. Certainly, several interesting monuments in the church have disappeared, but the majority were replaced. One very important brass was discovered embedded in the masonry and preserved, though not placed on the wall until 1884, i.e. 55 years after its discovery. This small brass, which is dated 1361, is to the memory of Isabella, wife of Richard LACER, a wealthy merchant and mayor of London.
