  • Maternal Mortality, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries
    Medical History, 1982, 26: 79-90. AN ATTEMPT TO ESTIMATE THE TRUE RATE OF MATERNAL MORTALITY, SIXTEENTH TO EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES by B. M. WILLMOTT DOBBIE* AN ENQUIRY into family structure in previous centuries reveals evidence of the high price in women's lives of replenishment of the population. It could not be otherwise, for when Nature failed in her task, or was thwarted by such adversities as pelvic deformity or malpresentation, attempts to help were mostly fumbling in the dark, literally and metaphorically, and well-meant interference was almost certain to introduce infection, so often fatal. The study that follows is based upon parish registers, and it must be prefaced with a reminder that exact truth is unattainable; most of the data are flawed, some seriously. Nothing better than an informed estimate can be hazarded, using such solid facts as can be gathered, and not scorning crumbs of evidence. This paper draws attention to some sources of error. The subject of childbirth deaths in past centuries has not received much attention; in fact, little is known in any quantitative sense, and the difficulties of collecting and interpreting evidence are daunting. DEFINITION OF MATERNAL MORTALITY The question must be considered: for how long after childbirth may death of the mother be the consequence? The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics includes deaths up to forty-two days after delivery or termination, though accepting that later fatality is possible. The triennial reports into maternal deaths in England and Wales' include deaths up to a year, but usually have the advantage of an autopsy, and reject deaths obviously unconnected.

  • THE GREAT BATH ROAD, 1700-1830 Brendaj.Buchanan
    THE GREAT BATH ROAD, 1700-1830 BrendaJ.Buchanan The great turnpike highway from London to the spa city of Bath is surrounded by legend and romance, 1 which have come to obscure the fact that at no time in the period studied was there any one single Bath Road. Instead, from the beginning of the eighteenth century there were created over the years and in a patchy, disorganized sequence, some fifteen turnpike trusts which with varying degrees of efficiency undertook the improvement of the roads under their legislative care. Not until the mid-eighteenth century was it possible to travel the whole distance between capital and provincial city on improved roads, and even then the route was not fixed. Small changes were frequently made as roads were straightened and corners removed, the crowns of hills lowered and valley bottoms raised. On a larger scale, new low-level sections were built to replace older upland routes, and most significant of all, some whole roads went out of use as traffic switched to routes which were better planned and engineered by later trusts. And at the time when the turnpike roads were about to face their greatest challenge from the encroaching railways in the 1830s, there were at the western end of the road to Bath not one but two equally important routes into the city, via Devizes and Melksham, or through Calne and Chippenham along the line known to-day as the A4. This is now thought of as the traditional Bath Road, but it can be demonstrated that it is only one of several lines which in the past could lay claim to that title.

  • The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1
    The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1 OR the work of George Fox in Wiltshire see Wilts Notes <§ Queries, ii, 125-9, and The Journal of George Fox, Fed. N. Penney (Cambridge Edn.). The subsequent history of the Quakers in the county can be traced from the MS. records of the various quarterly and monthly meetings, from the Friends' Book of Meetings published annually since 1789 and the List of Members of the Quarterly Meeting of Bristol and Somerset, published annually since 1874. For the MS. records see Jnl. of Friends' Hist. Soc., iv, 24. The records are now at Friends House, Euston Road, London. From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Quakers' story is of a decline which was gradual until 1750 and thereafter very rapid. The Methodists and Moravians largely supplanted them. An interesting example of the change over from Quakerism to Methodism is to be found in Thomas R. Jones' The Departed Worthy (1857). This book tells the life story of Charles Maggs, a distinguished Melksham Methodist. When Maggs first went to Melksham just after 1800 he made the acquaintance of two Methodists named Abraham Shewring and Thomas Rutty. The family names of Shewring and Rutty both occur in Melksham Quaker records between 1700 and 1750. Even more interesting is the fact that Abraham Shewring was known as " the Quaker Methodist " and that Charles Maggs found that " the quiet manner in which the service was conducted scarcely suited his warm and earnest heart "* WILTSHIRE QUARTERLY MEETING, c. 1667-1785 By 1680 the number of Quaker meetings in Wilts had reached its maximum.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

Context - Wiltshire Local Plan Review 1. The Wiltshire Core Strategy is the central strategic part of the development plan for Wiltshire that sets the legal framework for planning decisions and is the basis that all neighbourhood plans must follow. It covers the period 2006-2026. 2. The Wilshire Local Plan Review is being prepared to update the Wiltshire Core Strategy with a plan period of 2016- 2036. 3. An important part of keeping the development plan up to date is ensuring that development needs are met. This means accommodating new homes, business and other new uses supported by the necessary infrastructure; and finding land on which to build them. 4. As much as possible of the land needed will be previously developed land.
