On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Staffordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of our letter were sent to all the principal local authorities and parishes in Staffordshire, and in the adjoining counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, West Midlands, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Hereford and Worcester and Leicestershire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition copies were sent to those government departments with an interest; regional health authorities; public utilities in the area; the English Tourist Board; the editors of the Municipal Journal and Local Government Chronicle; and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested to co-operate as necessary with each other, and with the District Councils concerned, to assist us in publicising the start of the review, by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
    Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Logford of Derbyshire
    -344- LONGFORDS OF DERBYSHIRE A STUDY OF A MEDIEVAL KNIGHTLY FAMILY: 1 THE LONGFORDS OF DERBYSHIRE , PART 2 by Rosie Bevan2 ABSTRACT This is the second part of an account of the Longford family of Derbyshire, correcting the 1569 and 1611 Herald’s Visitation pedigree and enlarging on the family history. The medieval pedigree is brought forward into the 16th century with links to the modern period. Foundations (2005) 1 (5): 344-372 © Copyright FMG Nicholas Longford V The most turbulent years in Derbyshire in the fifteenth century coincided with Nicholas V as head of the Longford family. As a minor aged 16 in 1434, he had an early introduction to feuding, when the older generations of his family were involved in the dispute between Henry Pierrepont and Thomas Foljambe in which his great uncle was killed. A passionate partisan of the Lancastrian cause, Nicholas’ distrust of, and contempt for, Yorkist ambition, and its supporters, was the impetus in his leadership of the sack of Elvaston in 1454, in which many of his kinsfolk and tenants took part. When Nicholas was 12 years old his marriage was arranged to Joan, daughter of Lawrence Warren (d.1444) of Poynton, Cheshire, and Margaret, daughter of Richard Bulkeley of Cheadle and Margery Venables of Kinderton (Ormerod, 1882, pp.199, 627). The Warrens claimed descent from John de Warenne, earl of Surrey, who died without legitimate issue in 1347, but had fathered illegitimate children by Maud de Nerford. One of these, Edward (recipient in the earl’s will of a bequest of £20 (Raine, 1836)), had married Cicely daughter and heir of Sir Nicholas de Eton, through whom Poynton and Stockport became the nucleus of the Warren family estate3.

It covers a relatively small area of approximately 78 square kilometres, which is just over 30 square miles. The city is surrounded by villages many of are connected to Derby by cross boundary public rights of way.

  • South Derbyshire South Derbyshire District Council Local Green Community and Planning Services Spaces
    South Derbyshire South Derbyshire District Council Local Green Community and Planning Services Spaces LDF December 2015 South Derbyshire Changing for the better THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK Local Green Space Topic Paper Purpose of topic Paper The purpose of this topic paper is to set out what Local Green Spaces are and how the potential for their designation within the Local Plan Part 2 has been explored, including the methodology used for selecting the sites that are being proposed. Introduction Local Green Spaces were introduced with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in March 2012. Whilst Local Green Spaces are not strictly defined as such in the NPPF, paragraph 77 sets out that the designation will not be appropriate for most green areas of open space, rather that “the designation should only be used: where the green space is in reasonably close proximity to the community it serves; where the green area is demonstrably special to a local community and holds a particular local significance, for example because of its beauty, historic significance, recreational value (including as a playing field), tranquillity or richness of its wildlife; and where the green area concerned is local in character and is not an extensive tract of land.” The NPPF also stipulates that local policy for managing development within Local Green Spaces should be consistent with policy for Green Belts, and that the presumption in favour of sustainable development would not apply in these areas. In areas already designated as Green Belt, proposals for Local Green Space may still be of merit, for instance in helping to steer development away from areas of particular importance to the local community should an exception to the Green Belt policy be required.

The benefits gained tlrough the Dissolution of the Monasteries only represent the high point of this advance, not its whole, and an exploration of the story of the property gains involved - the 'cash for honours' of its day - will be the subject of a later a(icle. Here we tell (and conect) the story of the people involved. In this first part we tell the story of Thomas's ancestors, siblings and cousins. The second part centres on Thomas's own place in history, and the consequences for succeeding generations of the family.
