CSG Bibliog 24
CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography. -

Shropshire's Churchyard Yews
’CHURCHYARD YEWS painted by Rev. Edward Williams M.A. more than two hundred years ago photographs by Tim Hills between 1997 and 2012 Between 1786 and 1791 Rev. Edward Williams made a record of most of ’parish churches. He was described in The Gentlem’ magazine vol 153 as “ excellent ” who had also “much of ” We are told in The annals and magazine of natural history, zoology and botany - vol 1 p183 that his studies included “ catalogue of all the plants which he had detected during many years' careful herborization of the county of ”for which “accuracy is well known, and perfect reli- ance can be placed on any plant which he ” Williams work thus gives us a rare opportunity to see some of Shropshir’churchyard yew trees as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago. The examples below give us reason to be confident in the accuracy of his recording. The yew at Boningale (left) now has a girth of about 13ft, while that at Bucknell (centre) now has a girth of about 19ft, and the Norbury giant (right) has a girth above 33ft. His attention to detail is illustrated in this example at Tasley. In the painting we can clearly see that sections of the bole are leaning outwards, a process which has led to the distinctive yew we see today. On the following pages, 28 of the yews in ’paintings are seen as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago and at they are now. We are grateful to Shropshire Archives for granting us permission to use their material in this way. -

South Shropshire 1973-2007
South Shropshire District Council Election Results 1973-2007 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. -

CLEE ST. MARGARET PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES of the MEETING Held on MONDAY 29Th FEBRUARY 2016 at the VILLAGE HALL at 7.30 Pm
CLEE ST. MARGARET PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES of the MEETING held on MONDAY 29th FEBRUARY 2016 at the VILLAGE HALL at 7.30 pm Present: Councillors Mike Hardingham, David Palmer, Vicky Matthews, John Heighway, Bob Day, Tamsin Osler Clerk: Joan Palmer IN ATTENDANCE: Councillor Cecilia Motley 1. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE: Councillor Nesta Heighway 2. APPROVAL of the MINUTES of the PARISH COUNCIL MEETING held on MONDAY 18th JANUARY 2016 and MATTERS ARISING The minutes were unanimously agreed. Councillor Hardingham had spoken to a resident of Marshgate (not the person who was suspected of leaving the rubbish in the carpark) about the complaints the Council had received about the rubbish left in the carpark. It had been noted that the rubbish had not been removed. 3. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Having reviewed the agenda Councillors were of the opinion that there were no anticipated conflicts of interest. 4. LOCAL JOINT COMMITTEE i) Suggestions for topics to be raised at future LJC meetings There was to be a LJC meeting in a week’s time. Councillors were asked for topics that could be discussed at the meeting. Councillor Hardingham told Councillors that a number of influential county councillors, as well as the Chairs of the local parish councils, attended the LJC meetings. It was suggested that fast Broadband (or the lack of it) should be discussed. Another topic could be the training of first responders for the area. Councillors understood that Clee St. Margaret was in the ‘catchment’ area for Clun and that having a locally based first responder would be of more benefit. -
