Ketton Conservation Area
Ketton Conservation Area Ketton Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Draft for consultation August 2019 1 1.0 Background Ketton conservation area was designated in 1972, tightly drawn around the historic core of Church Road, Chapel Lane, Redmiles Lane, Aldgate and Station Road and extended in 1975 to its current size. 2.0 Location and Setting Ketton is a large village located 4 miles south west of Stamford on the Stamford Road (A6121). It has been identified within the Rutland Landscape Character Assessment (2003) as being within the ‘Middle Valley East’ of the ‘Welland Valley’ character area which is ‘a relatively busy, agricultural, modern landscape with many settlements and distinctive valley profiles.’ The river Chater is an important natural feature of the village and within the valley are a number of meadow areas between Aldgate and Bull Lane that contribute towards the rural character of the conservation area. The south western part of the conservation area is particularly attractive with a number of tree groups at Ketton Park, the private grounds of the Priory and The Cottage making a positive contribution. The attractive butter coloured stone typical of Ketton is an important feature of the village. The stone quarry and cement works which opened in 1928 is located to the north. A number of famous buildings have been built out of Ketton Stone, such as Burghley House and many of the Cambridge University Colleges. Although the Parish Church is of Barnack stone. The historic core is nestled in the valley bottom on the north side of the River Chater and extends in a linear form along the High Street, continuing onto Stamford Road (A6121). -
Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns
Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns INTRODUCTION 1. The Council presented a Submission on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on 11 July 2017 following approval at Full Council. On 25 July the LGBCE wrote to the Council advising that it was minded to recommend that 26 County Councillors should be elected to Rutland County Council in future in accordance with the Council’s submission. 2. The second stage of the review concerns warding arrangements. The Council size will be used to determine the average (optimum) number of Electors per councillor to be achieved across all wards of the authority. This number is reached by dividing the electorate by the number of Councillors on the authority. The LGBCE initial consultation on Warding Patterns takes place between 25 July 2017 and 2 October 2017. 3. The Constitution Review Working Group is Cross Party member group. The terms of reference for the Constitution Review Working Group (CRWG) (Agreed at Annual Council 8 May 2017) provide that the working group will review arrangements, reports and recommendations arising from Boundary and Community Governance reviews. Therefore, the CRWG undertook to develop a proposal on warding patterns which would then be presented to Full Council on 11 September 2017 for approval before submission to the LGBCE. BACKGROUND 4. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England technical guidance states that an electoral review will be required when there is a notable variance in representation across the authority. A review will be initiated when: • more than 30% of a council’s wards/divisions having an electoral imbalance of more than 10% from the average ratio for that authority; and/or • one or more wards/divisions with an electoral imbalance of more than 30%; and • the imbalance is unlikely to be corrected by foreseeable changes to the electorate within a reasonable period. -

A R,OMAN VILLA at TIXOVER GRANGE, RUTLAND by ALAN Mcwhirr
A R,OMAN VILLA AT TIXOVER GRANGE, RUTLAND by ALAN McWHIRR The villa lies in the parish of Tixover, Rutland, in the grounds of Tixover Grange, and is 250 metres north-east of the Grange.1 Its national grid reference is SK(43) 982019. 2 The village of Duddington, Northampton shire is I.2 Km. south-east (see figs. 1 and 2). Excavations were conducted in 1958 and 1959 by the University of Leicester Department of Archaeology, under the direction of Mr. S. E. Thomas. It was a training dig for students, the writer of this report being one of that number.3 The first published reference to Roman finds at Tixover seems to have been the comments of the Reverend Edward Trollope who, when writing about a Roman building at Apethorpe more than a century ago,4 reported s 10 ,o 1.0 Fig. I Based on O.S. map I 2 LEICESTERSHIRE ARCHJBOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY Fig. 2 Based on O.S. map that part of a hypocaust was found. Much later tesserae were found in 1912 in the Grange.s In 1932 S. E. Winbolt conducted limited excavations, and found two geometric design mosaic pavements, walls, pottery and coins, but the results of the work were not fully published.6 Fortunately, a teenager, Graham Webster, kept a notebook of what took place, and this included sketches of the mosaic floors 7 (see fig. 4). Further Roman objects were said to have been found during the construction of the sewage disposal plant in the 1940s. 8 THE SITE The major part of the villa seems to be under the present spinney and on a small area of terrace gravel which overlies limestone of the inferior oolite series. -

East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Leicestershire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Neolithic and Bronze Age Leicestershire and Rutland Dr Patrick Clay, University of Leicester Archaeological Services Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Introduction In formulating an archaeological resource assessment it should be remembered that the landscape is the resource not the data on the SMRís which, by their very nature, provide a random unrepresentative sample. For this exercise the resource can be defined as an area of midlands landscape demarcated by the present boundaries of Leicestershire and Rutland (other than areas which have previously been destroyed). This is a lowland landscape characterised by a covering of glacial drift with, to the east, a limestone escarpment - the Jurassic ridge - and, to the west, Pre-Cambrian uplands with coal measures and Mercia Mudstone. Sixty per cent of the area has a clay substrata. The landscape is well dissected and separated by rivers and many tributary streams, demarcated by the Trent to the northwest, the Avon to the southwest and the Welland to the southeast while the south-north flowing Soar neatly divides the area into two. It is an agriculturally rich area, historically famous for its sheep farming and still possessing some of the finest pasture in Britain. The area is essentially plough-zone with consequent erosion although it has some potential for localised alluvial and colluvial burial and wetland areas. In assessing the resource for the Neolithic and Bronze Age (and other periods) it must be remembered that systematic survey has only been undertaken in a few areas and consideration of SMRís in isolation will inevitably produce inherent biases (Mills 1985). -
Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S
Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S. Esmonde-Cleary, 1996 with the assistance of R. Warner (Ireland) Introduction Britain has a long tradition of antiquarian and archaeological investigation and recording of its Roman past, reaching back to figures such as Leland in the sixteenth century. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the classically-educated aristocracy and gentry of a major imperial and military power naturally felt an affinity with the evidence for Rome’s presence in Britain. In the twentieth century, the development of archaeology as a discipline in its own right reinforced this interest in the Roman period, resulting in intense survey and excavation on Roman sites and commensurate work on artifacts and other remains. The cartographer is therefore spoiled for choice, and must determine the objectives of a map with care so as to know what to include and what to omit, and on what grounds. British archaeology already has a long tradition of systematization, sometimes based on regions as in the work of the Royal Commissions on (Ancient and) Historic Monuments for England (Scotland and Wales), but also on types of site or monument. Consequently, there are available compendia by Rivet (1979) on the ancient evidence for geography and toponymy; Wacher (1995) on the major towns; Burnham (1990) on the “small towns”; Margary (1973) on the roads that linked them; and Scott (1993) on villas. These works give a series of internally consistent catalogs of the major types of site. Maps of Roman Britain conventionally show the island with its modern coastline, but it is clear that there have been extensive changes since antiquity, and that the conventional approach risks understating the differences between the ancient and the modern. -
Leicestershire and Rutland in the First Millennium BC by Patrick Clay
Leicestershire and Rutland in the First Millennium BC by Patrick Clay Following on from the examination of the Neolithic and Bronze Age evidence from Leicestershire and Rutland (Clay 1999) this paper considers how the area now covered by the two counties changed during the Later Bronze Age and Iron Age. Settlement, land division, ritual, burial, trade, industry and material culture are examined and a model for society in this part of the East Midlands during the 1st millennium BC is suggested. Introduction The last 25 years have seen great advances in our understanding of the archaeology of the 1st millennium BC in Britain covering the Later Bronze Age and Iron Age. Since the publication of Barry Cunliffe’s seminal work on the Iron Age, Iron Age Communities in Britain, in 1974 (Cunliffe 1974; 1991) there have been several major developments in the study of this period. These have included the impact of aerial archaeology (e.g. Riley 1980; Pickering & Hartley 1985, Pickering 1989), large scale field surveys (e.g. Raunds in Northamptonshire, Parry 1994 and forthcoming), environmental archaeology (e.g. van der Veen 1992) and large scale excavations (e.g. Crick in Northamptonshire (G. Hughes pers. comm.). There has also been a re-interpretation of the evidence, including the role of hillforts (Hill 1989; 1993) and the identification of deliberate deposition of artefacts and ecofacts (Hill 1995, Thomas 1997). Some of these developments have also begun to redress the balance of information on 1st millennium BC societies from the south of England to the Midlands and the North (Haselgrove 1999). -

It is hoped to include them in future versions. Introduction Leicestershire and Rutland is a lowland landscape characterised by a covering of glacial drift with, to the east, a limestone escarpment - the Jurassic ridge - and, to the west, Pre-Cambrian uplands with coal measures and Mercia Mudstone. Sixty per cent of the area has a clay substrata. The landscape is well dissected and separated by rivers and many tributary streams, demarcated by the Trent to the northwest, the Avon to the southwest and the Welland to the southeast while the south-north flowing Soar neatly divides the area into two. It is an agriculturally rich area, historically famous for its sheep farming and still possessing some of the finest pasture in Britain. The area is essentially plough-zone with consequent erosion although it has some well preserved relict medieval landscapes and some potential for localised alluvial and colluvial burial and wetland areas. In assessing the resource for the Later Bronze Age - Iron Age (and other periods) it must be remembered that systematic survey has only been undertaken in a few areas and consideration of SMRís in isolation will inevitably produce inherent biases (Mills 1985). Extrapolation and model building from well surveyed areas will, arguably, be a better basis for resource assessment than using SMR generated distribution maps alone. -
Victorian Miracle Trail in Uppingham Where the Famous School Is an Outstanding Example of Victorian Educational Achievement
The Victorians were miracle workers. They fused Science and Industry together to produce architectural and engineering miracles which we still see in today’s landscape – bridges, viaducts, massive railway stations, an all pervasive rail network, sewage systems, town halls full of integrity as well as dark satanic mills. Despite Rutland being the smallest county in England, it did not escape from the Victorian advancements in transport; this little shire seems able to produce at least one of everything! In this Instance it is the Seaton – Harringworth Viaduct, in the Welland Valley, which is our Victorian miracle. Start your Victorian Miracle Trail in Uppingham where the famous school is an outstanding example of Victorian educational achievement. Head east to Glaston to see the fine flaggy walls with their profuse vegetation everywhere in the village. Leave its raw edges along the A47 and park neat St Andrew’s. Take the tiny path through the churchyard to see the unusual pyramidal spire of the 13th century and the even earlier tower. The Old Rectory lies near the church. Re-built in brick, 1861-62, it is supposed to incorporate a 17th century ironstone house within its construction. Leave by the Lych-gate on foot, turning left onto Orchard Close, then left again on Spring Lane to see the Ancient Pond. Wander down Manor Lane where there are sev- eral remarkable old houses with mullioned windows, one dated 1696. The village almost stands on top of the 1846 yard long tunnel of the former L.M.S Kettering to Manton Line, a major engineering feat using 16 million ordinary bricks and 4 ½ million Staffordshire Blue bricks, and built between 1875-80. -
