Sheila Sleath and Robert Ovens The area in and around the Gwash Valley is not short of stories and curiosities which make interesting reading. This chapter brings together a representative sample of notable personalities, place names, extraordinary events, both natural and supernatural, and tragedies including murder most foul! The selected items cover a period of eight hundred years and are supported by extracts and images from antiquarian sources, documentary records, contemporary reports and memorials. A Meeting Place for Witches? The name Witchley originates from the East and West Witchley Hundreds which, in 1086, were part of north Northamptonshire. However, following a boundary change a few years later, they became East Hundred and Wrangdike Hundred in the south-east part of Rutland. Witchley Heath, land lying within an area approximately bounded by Normanton, Empingham and Ketton, was named as a result of this historical association. It is shown on Morden’s 1684 map and other seventeenth and eighteenth century maps of Rutland. Witches Heath, a cor- ruption of Witchley Heath, is shown on Kitchin and Jeffery’s map of 1751. The area of heathland adjacent to the villages of Normanton, Ketton and Empingham became known locally as Normanton Heath, Ketton Heath and Empingham Heath. By the nine- teenth century the whole area was Kitchin and better known as Empingham Heath. The name Witchley was, however, Jeffery’s map of retained in Witchley Warren, a small area to the south-east of Normanton 1751 showing Park, and shown on Smith’s map of 1801.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy
    LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Version & Policy Number 1 Guardian Dave Brown, Director for Places (Environment, Planning & Transport) Date Produced 20 February 2018 Next Review Date 17 October 2022 Considered by Scrutiny 16 November 2017 Approved by Cabinet 17 April 2018 Appendix 1 - Rutland County Council - Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Summary of document This strategy will provide an overview for how the Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) will lead and co-ordinate local flood risk management in Rutland. It will act as the focal point for integrating all flood risk management functions in the County and has regard to the Environment Agency’s National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy. The document provides a background to the need for such a strategy, detailing the local and national drivers whilst setting out where responsibility for different flood risks lay. The existing framework for managing and communicating flood risk is briefly described including how RCC are currently fulfilling their LLFA roles. The uplands of Rutland provide headwaters for three separate catchments, these relatively steep clay uplands appear conducive to flash flooding but historically the mapped risk and actual experience of flooding is somewhat limited, even during recent heavy rainfall events and as such the level of flood risk has been deemed to be relatively low in both local and national assessments. Two reservoirs dominate the landscape in the area and both are well managed and have a negligible flood risk being more significant for their wildlife designations and the amenity they provide to residents and visitors of the area.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.

  • Geology of the OUGS East Midlands Branch
    OUGS East Midlands Branch The East Midlands Branch of the OUGS is active in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. Each county has different geological interests and aspects. The age of exposures ranges from the young Cretaceous muds, silts and sands of eastern Lincolnshire to the ancient rocks and fossils of the Precambrian inlier in Charnwood, Leicestershire. There is much to interest OUGS members and the committee tries to organise field trips of variety and in different regions each year. Also in our area we have the National Stone Centre near Wirksworth and the British Geological Survey at Keyworth, both of which we have been able to patronise regularly. Currently we have around 87 members. We try to organise events and field trips throughout the year, these include a weekend away in October/ November (Snowflake) and a Day of Talks in December. Our Branch AGM is at the end of January. Every two or three years we also try and organise a week away in a particular location and are looking forward to Arran in April 2021 (postponed from 2020). Click on the County name to find out more about what each county has to offer. Derbyshire Derbyshire – there is much beauty and variety in the landscape and many places of geological interest in Derbyshire. Most of the county exposures are from the Carboniferous but in the south of the county are younger Triassic muds and sandstones. The Peak District National Park is famed for the white and grey stones of the White Peak Carboniferous Limestone and the Namurian sandstone known as Millstone Grit.
