  • Ketton Village Walk September 2010 (Updated 2020)
    Rutland Local History & Record Society Registered Charity No. 700273 Ketton Village Walk September 2010 (updated 2020) Copyright © Rutland Local History and Record Society All rights reserved INTRODUCTION The centre of the village contains many excellent buildings constructed with the famous butter‑coloured Ketton limestone which has been quarried locally since the Middle Ages. Ketton limestone is a 'freestone' because it can be worked in any direction. It is regarded as the perfect example of oolitic limestone. Many of the stone buildings are roofed in Collyweston slates. These frost-split slates have been extracted from shallow mines at Collyweston and Easton on the Hill just The Priory about 1925. (Jack Hart Collection) across the Valley from Ketton. This walk has been prepared from notes left by the late Geoff Fox and the late Jeffrey Smith, with some additions. THE VILLAGE MAP The map attached to this guided walk is based on the 25 inch to one mile Ordnance Survey 2nd edition map of 1899. Consequently, later buildings, extensions and demolitions are not shown. Numbers in the text, e.g. [12], refer to locations shown on the maps. Please: Respect private property. Use pavements and footpaths where available. Take great care when crossing roads. The church lychgate about 1925. (Jack Hart Collection) Remember that you are responsible for your own safety. The lychgate, of English oak and roofed with Collyweston slates, was erected by George Hibbins, THE WALK stonemason of Ketton, in 1909. This is a circular walk which starts and finishes at the Pass through the lychgate and walk to the Railway Inn.

  • The Land Army
    Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role THE LAND ARMY The landgirls carried out a vital role on the farms, and for many, coming from factory work or domestic service, discovering the countryside was quite an eye opener! A whole range of new skills were waiting to be mastered. Clearly, in the early days, adaptations had to be made – one article in the Stamford Mercury in November 1939 declares: ‘It Isn’t Done on the Farm Not Fair to Milk With Pointed Nails Advice For Landgirls’ In May 1940, Lady Spencer visited Sacrewell, Burghley Estate and Fotheringhay Dairy and reported just how much the girls were enjoying their work. In January 1942, the first hostel for landgirls opened in Barnack, and the following extracts give a taste of what life was like for them: [PA 30/1/42] [1] Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role [PA 30/1/42] A second hostel for 25 Londoners opened in Newborough later that year, and the previously empty Rectory at Thornhaugh was taken over to house another 26 girls. The girls get a couple of other mentions in the press, once when the Barnack Hostel presented Cinderella, ‘a delightful show’, and again when Evelyn Gamble and Maisie Peacock from Thornhaugh were each fined 2s 6d (12½p) at Norman Cross Court for riding two on one bicycle at Stibbington! OTHER ROLES FOR WOMEN Well before war was declared, women were being prepared for voluntary roles. In June 1939, for example, there was a report of a rally of women drivers at Woodcroft Castle, Etton ‘tests in wheel changing and driving wearing a respirator this week, map reading classes next week’ There were calls in 1940 for women who could ride a bicycle to act as messengers for parachute patrols; details of the Peterborough House WiVeS Service were published, encouraging those women unavailable to volunteer for Civil Defence Services who would however be able to offer help to neighbours in their immediate locality in the event of a raid.

  • Chapter 23 the Railways Through the Parishes
    Chapter 23 The Railways Through the Parishes Part I: The London & Birmingham Railway The first known reference to a railway in the Peterborough area was in 1825, when the poet John Clare encountered surveyors in woods at Helpston. They were preparing for a speculative London and Manchester railroad. Clare viewed them with disapproval and suspicion. Plans for a Branch to Peterborough On 17th September 1838, the London & Birmingham Railway Company opened its 112-mile main line, linking the country’s two largest cities. It was engineered by George Stephenson’s son, Robert. The 1 journey took 5 /2 hours, at a stately average of 20mph – still twice the speed of a competing stagecoach. The final cost of the line was £5.5m, as against an estimate of £2.5m. Magnificent achievement as the L&BR was, it did not really benefit Northampton, since the line passed five miles to the West of the Fig 23a. Castor: Station Master’s House. town. The first positive steps to put Northampton and the Nene valley in touch with the new mode of travel were taken in Autumn 1842, after local influential people approached the L&BR Board with plans for a branch railway from Blisworth to Peterborough. Traffic on the L&BR was healthy. On 16th January 1843, a meeting of shareholders was called at the Euston Hotel. They were told that the company had now done its own research and was able to recommend a line to Peterborough. There was some opposition from landed interests along the Nene valley. On 26th January 1843 at the White Hart Inn, Thrapston a meeting, chaired by Earl Fitzwilliam, expressed implacable opposition to the whole scheme on six main counts, from increased flooding to the danger of 26 road crossings, rather than bridges.

  • The Rockingham Forest Connection
    King’s Cliffe: The Rockingham Forest Connection (With acknowledgments to our sources: ‘Rockingham Forest Revisited’ by Dr Peter Hill; ‘The Royal Forests of Northants 1558 – 1714’ by P A J Pettit; and ‘The Royal Forests of England’ by J Charles Cox.) Some early history … The ancient woodlands of the Rockingham Forest area were once part of a great prehistoric forest which stretched from Peterborough to Oxford. Stone Age man settled in the area and neolithic remains have been found in places such as Gretton, Oundle, Twywell, Weldon, Wansford and Brigstock. Bronze Age finds include pottery at Oundle, Corby, Weldon and Wakerley; a skeleton and bronze dagger near Corby; several burial sites; and a drinking cup at Fotheringay. Iron Age people are known to have settled on three pieces of high ground in the area – at Rockingham, Wadenhoe and at Wakerley. Remains of iron smelting furnaces at Wakerley show that our ancestors were already making use of iron ore deposits. The smelting process needed a lot of heat and they made charcoal to fuel their furnaces. The Romans also made use of the iron ore deposits. Extensive iron smelting from the Roman period has been unearthed close to Bulwick and in Bedford Purlieu woods. Roman occupation was not just a temporary affair. They drove a road west from Ermine Street running from Wansford to the foot of the hill outside King’s Cliffe. They also built villas in the area. Tessellated pavements have been excavated near Deene, at Lowick and Weekley, and a villa and large mosaics was found in the grounds of Apethorpe Hall in 1859.
