BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 3 4 BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND WHAT IS THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND? The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of the Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to the Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No 3692). The Order also transferred to the Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and their implementation. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Kru Desai Robin Gray Joan Jones Ann M Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils. BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 5 6 BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Local Government Commission for England (LGCE) began a review of the electoral arrangements for Rutland on 16 October 2001. As a consequence of the transfer of functions referred to earlier, it falls to us the Boundary Committee for England, to complete the work of the LGCE. • This report summarises the submissions received during the first stage of the review, and makes draft recommendations for change. We found that the current arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Rutland: • in 12 of the 16 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the district and eight wards vary by more than 20 per cent from the average; • by 2006 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in 14 wards and by more than 20 per cent in six wards. Our main draft recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 64-65) are that: • Rutland County Council should have 26 councillors, six more than at present; • there should be 16 wards the same as at present; • the boundaries of 15 of the existing wards should be modified, with one ward retaining its existing boundaries. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each Rutland councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 12 of the proposed 16 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10 per cent from the district average. • This improved level of electoral equality is expected to improve further with the number of electors per councillor in all 16 wards expected to vary by no more than 10 per cent from the average for the district in 2006. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish and town council electoral arrangements which provide for: • revised warding arrangements and the reduction and re-distribution of councillors for the parish of Oakham. This report sets out our draft recommendations on which comments are invited. • We will consult on these proposals for eight weeks from 14 May 2002. We take this consultation very seriously. We may decide to move away from our draft recommendations in the light of comments or suggestions that we receive. It is therefore important that all interested parties let us have their views and evidence, whether or not they agree with our draft recommendations. BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 7 • After considering local views, we will decide whether to modify our draft recommendations. We will then submit our final recommendations to the Electoral Commission which, with effect from 1 April 2002, will be responsible for implementing change to local authority electoral arrangements. • The Electoral Commission will decide whether to accept, modify or reject our final recommendations. It will also determine when any changes come into effect.

This district being reviewed as part of the programme of periodic electoral reviews (PERs) of all 386 principal local authority areas in England. The programme started in 1996 and is currently expected to finish in 2004. 2 Rutland’s last review was carried out by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which reported to the Secretary of State in May 1977 (Report no.

  • The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville
    The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville. BY GEORGE FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. PREFACE. Since the appearance of Nichols' History of Leicestershire, pub­ lished between 1795 and 1815, the materials for original work upon local history and topography have been considerably extended, and many classes of documents are now available for research which serve at once to supplement and correct the information contained in the older county histories.. While Nichols' famous volumes must always remain the foundation for any future work upon the history of Leicestershire, the student who knows how to make use of them finds that their statements constantly stand in need of verification and that their accuracy is seriously impaired by their author's partial and arbitrary use of his documents. For some time past the present writers have entertained the idea of bringing together the results of their several collections of material illus­ trating the manorial and ecclesiastical annals of the county, and it will be found that the notes which follow in the form of con­ nected narratives endeavour to fill up gaps in the story of the three places concerned and to present in consecutive order information which hitherto has been treated merely in outline or overlooked altogether. For the chief part of the work, tracing the descent of the manors, and for the pedigrees Mr. Farnham is responsible. The notes upon advowsons and the lists of incumbents, which con­ siderably amplify Nichols' imperfect and carelessly compiled lists, are supplied by his collaborator.

  • Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire
    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.

  • Richard Westbrook (Dick) Baker's Scrapbook Provides Further
    Langham Local News Articles taken from The Grantham Journal by The Grantham Journal Correspondent for Langham & Barleythorpe Richard Westbrook Baker Pre 1913 Vestry Meeting - Lively Proceedings The usual Easter vestry meeting was held in the church on Friday afternoon. The Vicar of Oakham, Rev. J. Mould, presided. In opening the meeting the Chairman observed that they were assembled for two objects, as specified in the notice, viz., the passing of the last year’s accounts and the appointment of churchwardens for the ensuing year. He therefore called upon the churchwardens to produce their accounts and vouchers. As far as the accounts were concerned, he might say they were the best they had had for some time, the offertory especially being very good. - Mr. Swingler, junr., contended that the previous year’s accounts should be dealt with first of all, as they were disallowed by the vestry at the last meeting. The Chairman ruled that he would have nothing to do with the previous year’s accounts; that meeting was called to settle those of the year just closed, and he would allow nothing else to be done. - Mr. Swingler, senior, said that being so, there need have been no meeting at all. The Vicar still maintained his point, saying that although not passed in vestry, the accounts had been put right. Miss Skeffington remarked that it was quite unnecessary to have a vestry meeting, if the accounts could be put right without. The Chairman called upon Mr. George Stafford to read out the several items, which he proceeded to do.

  • Distance Table of Towns and Principal Villages in the County of RUTLAND
    RUTLANDSHIRE. THlS is an inland county, and the smallest ir. England, being only about eighteen miles in length, fit its greatest breadth not more than sixteen, anrl its circumference fifty-eight; comprising 149 square miles, or 95,3fi0 acres, of which about 43,00i1 are undet· tillage. It is bounded on the north-west and south-west by Leicestershire; on the south and south -eal'lt by Northamptonshire, trom which it is separated by the t·ive:r WeJland; and the county of Lincoln is the boundary on ils east and north-eastern sideli.-This districc, at the time of the Roman invasion, formed a part of the territory of the Coritani: under the Romans it was included in the divhion called Flavia CCBsariensis: at Great Casterton was a Roman station, but antiquaries disagree concerning its 11ame. By the Saxons the district was comprised in the kingdom of Mercia. In Domesday• book Rote/and is mt:ntioned as being composed of the t\o\'o wapentakes of Alstoe and Martiosley; and the res~ of the county, at that periml, was included iu Northamplonshit·e. Rutland is first described as a dis­ tinct county in the fifth year of King John, at thr coronation of whose queen, lsabel, it was, amongst other lands, assigned in parliament for her dower. But few important historical events are connected with this county. In 1470, on the 27th of April, an army uf Lancaste1·ians was defeated by Edward IV, M Horn, witb a loss of thirteen thousand men, wht'n Sir Thomas Wells and Sir Thomas de Launde were taken pl'isoners, and shortly afterwards beheaded : this engagement has been jocularly styled 'the Battle of Lose-coat Field,' from the disper•ed fugitives having ca•t off their coats in order to be le~ encumbered.
