Present Location Uncertain, David Priestley & Chris Weir, Angel Row History Forum May 2017 On Tuesday 9th May, 2017 commencing at 10:00 in the Local Studies Library, 1st Floor Central Library, Nottingham, Chris Weir, will give a talk on the letters (1916-18) of Nottingham soldier Harold Priestley. This event is FREE and there will be an deaf interpreter at the meeting. A Community Project based on the World War 1 letters of Nottingham soldier, Harold Priestley has been successful in its bid for a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. £17,500 has been awarded to The Vine Community Centre, Bobbers Mill Road in Hyson Green in association with St Stephen’s Church and IntoUniversity. The Project will vividly recall the life of local soldier Harold Priestley, who fought on The Western Front, and his family and the community during the period 1914-18. Support for the Project came from various directions including the Nottinghamshire Local History Association. The project will conserve and digitize 88 letters plus postcards and photographs in the possession of David Priestley, Harold’s grandson. The digitized collection will be form a legacy that can be accessed locally or through web links. The title of the project ‘Present Location Uncertain’ is taken from the words stamped on letters returned to Eva, Harold’s wife, from the Western Front in 1918, when Harold could not be found after fighting on the Front line. He had fallen in battle near Arras in March 1918. The moving account of Harold and the family’s struggles during WW1 will be turned into a community theatre production by Sarah Stephenson. The Project will engage volunteers and researchers in discovering how war affects the lives of both the soldiers fighting abroad but also their wives, children and friends….and their local community. There will be drama and historical workshops that will offer creative opportunities to get involved. The Project will be filmed by Richard Swainson Productions.

  • Bailey's Croft
    95 and 97 Main Street, Willoughby, photographed in 1985. ‘Bailey’sCroft’, Willoughbyon the Wolds DavidBailey From the early part of the eighteenth century the Bailey families who gave their name to the ‘Bailey Croft’ development at Willoughbylived in these cottages and the farm at the rear. The families originated in Nottingham before moving to the parishes of Wymeswoldand Nether Broughtonin Leicestershire, close to the border with Nottinghamshire. They finally settled at Willoughbyon the Woldsin the southernmosttip of Nottinghamshire. There they lived and worked, within the village community, for two centuries. A greater part of that time was spent living in the cottages pictured above. This building witnessed their growth into an established village family who, over five generations, were involved in shoemaking, joinery, shop-keeping and farming. They were joined in marriage by other families from Willoughbyand nearby parishes. The family had also become monconformistin the early ninetenthcentury and followed the Wesleyan Methodist tradition. Their lives were far from being uneventful, experiencing their share of tragedy. The advent of the twentieth century heralded the 1 Road map with distances (in miles) to surrounding settlements. decline of village life. Two World Wars, improved transport links, mass production and new farming methods changed village life forever. No longer was there a requirement for craftsmen or tradesmen within the community. Family members sought employment away from the village, where they married and raised a family. Consequently, with the passing of time, many of the families in the village ceased to exist. The Bailey family was no exception. In 1987 the last family member living at Willoughbyon the Wolds died.

It was once extremely common to add to the name of the deceased further details about where they were ‘of’ or ‘from’. Very frequently the phrase used was ‘of this parish’. One typical inscription reads: ‘Here lieth the Body of joan the wife of walter Williams of Baddon in the Parish of Bridestow’, to take an example dated 1774 from Lydford in west Dartmoor. Other inscriptions may take the form: ‘In Memory of [name], of this parish’, or ‘of the parish of . .’ The wording can vary in a number of ways. Some- times one Wnds the person, or their husband or parents, being ascribed to a certain place rather than ‘this parish’, a place that may be a small settlement or even a house address, through to a large city.

  • The Local Government Boundary Commission for England - Electoral Review of Rushcliffe 2012
    The Local Government Boundary Commission for England - Electoral Review of Rushcliffe 2012 Local Links The Parish of Kinoulton forms part of Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Nevile ward encompasses the parishes of Hickling, including Hickling Pastures, Upper Broughton and Owthorpe. The ward is located to the south eastern part of the Borough and covers an area of 3,868 hectares. The Ward is reflective of a rural ward where there has been a loss of local service facilities over a long period of time. The limited facilities within the villages comprise the following: Kinoulton – Public house, village hall, school with a joint use play area, church, a farm shop and cricket ground. A post office operated on a part time basis from St Luke’s Church. Hickling - Public house, village hall and cricket ground. Upper Broughton – Public house, village hall, a butcher which offers a mobile butchery service to surrounding village and cricket ground. Owthorpe - church and village hall The village halls in each village or hamlet provide a key role in providing a centre for local groups and activities. Wider local services in terms of shops and leisure centres are provided at the larger villages/towns of Keyworth and Cotgrave although a number of residents will also utilise the facilities at West Bridgford and Melton Mowbray in the neighbouring county of Leicestershire. There are no GP or Dental practices in the ward with the majority of local people in Kinoulton utilising the GP’s at Cropwell Bishop, or Long Clawson in Leicestershire. There is a limited bus services supported by the County Council which at the time of writing the service provides access for residents of KInoulton, Hickling and Upper Broughton to Nottingham.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape and Language(S) of Your Chosen Area
    Volume 4: 2011-2012 ISSN: 2041-6776 School of English Examine the value of place-names as evidence for the history, landscape and language(s) of your chosen area. Rebecca Gregory This corpus contains place-names from an area directly to the south-east of Nottingham, stretching as far as the Lincolnshire and Leicestershire borders. This area is wholly within the Danelaw, and therefore it is expected that there will be a large amount of evidence of Scandinavian influence in the area as well as settlement by other peoples. The only linguistic evidence of British settlement in the place-names of this area is in the naming of the river Trent, with its probable meaning of „trespasser‟. This meaning is just as apt today as it must have been at the time of naming, as the Trent‟s flood plain is very wide, and flooding of the banks has a devastating effect, as can be seen in this photograph taken by the British Geological Survey of flooding in November 2000. Although named in Old English rather than British, the wīg in Wysall possibly shows evidence of Flooding of the Trent in November 2000 pre-Anglo-Saxon culture and <http://www.bgs.ac.uk/science/landUseAndDevelopment/ religion in the area. shallow_geohazards/flooding.html> [accessed 5 Jan 2012]. The Fosse Way (A46) runs straight through this area, but surprisingly there is no linguistic evidence in the corpus which indicates the presence of a Roman road. However, field- and farm names in the area may well contain indicators of the road upon examination.

  • The Melton Round
    Page 1 of 31 The Melton Round Melton Mowbray Station welcomes you Distance: approximately 64 miles. Section by section distances are likewise approximate (and can feel longer or shorter according to the lie of the land and walking conditions). Recommended Ordnance Survey maps: 129 (Nottingham and Loughborough) and 130 (Grantham), or relevant Explorer series for small scale detail. Page 2 of 31 Introduction The Melton Round is our second attempt at a long distance footpath. Our first, The Uppingham Round, can be found as a downloadable PDF, to include full directions and photographs, on Rutland County Council’s website. (Use the search box on the front page). Our methods here are similar; essentially we’ve tried to map a visually interesting and culturally rewarding circular walk which anyone of reasonable fitness may enjoy, in whole or part. With the latter in mind, the Round is divided into easily negotiable sections. It can be entered and left at any point: our starting section was quite arbitrary. The Melton Round represents many years of exploring this area of the country. It’s a landscape we’ve grown to love, and we are indebted to existing long distance and shorter footpaths, byways, green lanes and other walkable tracks which precede us. Indeed, it was our experience of The Leicestershire Round, The Rutland Round, the Jurassic Way, the central section of the Midshires Way, and the Jubilee Way (to mention just four recognized routes) which made The Melton Round possible. While the English landscape can be easily accessed by car (a necessary environmental evil, until vehicles become carbon neutral) nothing can replace walking through the countryside for a close up of its manifold identities, seen at a pace more in keeping with the absorption of scale and detail.

  • 100-Walks-From-The-Poppy-And-Pint-Volume-2.Pdf
    1 Introduction Welcome to our second volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. I hope that you find it useful. You will find a range of walks suitable for exercise during and just after ‘lockdown’. They all start within 20 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint. They are all specially selected or formulated walks with several things in common: the paths are quiet; the paths are varied and hold interest; all are on good, waymarked paths. Moreover, on all the walks it is possible to be ‘socially distant’ from others and on all walks is the right kind of ‘atmosphere’ in green spaces. What I have discovered is that walking in Nottinghamshire can be a restorative experience. Nottinghamshire villages are beautiful. Its landscape is many and varied. Apart from the big rivers and canals, there are wonderful streams and hills and rolling countryside – all a joy to behold. These walks take you to such places; lesser known, quiet and tranquil places – all on your very doorstep. This is the second volume of walks to complement Volume One, Edition 2. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these publications together as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! Thanks so much for your support and interest. I hope that this publication encourages you to ‘get out there’ and I hope to see you on the trail one day. If not, maybe in The Poppy and Pint when this is all over to compare notes and share ideas. Happy Rambling from Lady Bay and be sure to stay in touch! Best wishes, Trevor Riddiough 2 Route-finding You should be able to follow the clues to get you around each route without a map.
