  • Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal
    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal Page | 1 Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic local economy and its success is integral to driving economic growth in the United Kingdom. The area is home to just under 1 million residents and over 32,000 businesses, many in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. Leicester and Leicestershire also benefits from its location at the heart of the UK road network and close proximity to both the second largest freight handling airport in the UK and London. The area provides employment for 435,000 people and generates an estimated gross value added of £19.4 billion. Despite these strengths Leicester and Leicestershire faces a series of challenges: more than 25,000 jobs were lost between 2008 and 2011 (nearly twice the national average); youth unemployment is relatively high within the city of Leicester and parts of the county; and whilst 70% of small and medium enterprises have plans for growth many find accessing the right type of business support is complex. Some local businesses also note difficulties in filling vacancies. As part of the area’s wider Growth Strategy the City Deal seeks to tackle these key barriers. Over its lifetime the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership expects that the City Deal will deliver: A new employment scheme targeted at 16-24 year olds that will reduce youth unemployment by 50% by 2018, deliver 3,000 new apprenticeships and 1,000 traineeships and work placements. An innovative new employment and training scheme for young offenders. Improved co-ordination of business support services and a range of innovative business support programmes.

  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

Dunelm, M.A. Sheffield Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Arts University of Glasgow 2012 Dedicated to Dr Howard Thomas Miles (1931-2006) Abstract Battlefield sites are some of the most iconic locations in any nation’s store of heritage attractions and continue to capture the imagination of visitors. They have strong historic, cultural, nationalistic and moral resonances and speak to people on a national as well as a local scale. They have the power to provoke contention but at the same time foster understanding and respect through the consideration of deep moral questions. Battlefields are suffused with powerful stories of courage, sacrifice, betrayal and even cowardice. They have a strong sense of place and can provoke a range of cognitive and emotional reactions.
