Local people now have a greater say about what happens in the area in which they live by preparing a Neighbourhood Plan that sets out policies that meet the needs of the community whilst having regard for local, national and EU policies. The aim of this Neighbourhood Plan is to put forward the wishes of the community regarding future development and to deliver local aspirations within the context of the strategic planning framework. Ryton on Dunsmore Parish Council has overseen the development of the Neighbourhood Plan but has delegated its preparation to a Steering Committee.

  • MAPS Compiled by Leigh Anne Palmer, 2004
    FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY'S COLLECTION OF WARWICKSHIRE COUNTY MAPS Compiled by Leigh Anne Palmer, 2004 Using P.D.A. Harvey and Harry Thorpe's The Printed Maps of Warwickshire 1576-1900 (Warwick, 1959) as my primary reference, and consulting Yasha Beresiner's British County Maps Reference and Price Guide (Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1983), The British Museum Catalogue of Printed Maps, Charts, and Plans (London, 1967), as well as T. Chubb's The Printed maps in the atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, 1579-1870 (1927), I created a list of the loose sheet maps of Warwickshire county from 1579 to 1791 in the Folger's collection. Because many of these maps were originally printed in English county atlases, the Folger may have multiple copies of a particular map in both loose sheet and bound formats. This list primarily represents the loose sheet maps in the collection. Where we did not have a loose sheet copy of a particular map, I checked if the Folger owned a copy that was printed in an English county atlas. I have not, however, examined each county atlas we have in the collection and included those bound maps of Warwickshire in this list. That effort, although useful to the collection in general, would help us enumerate how many of a particular map we have in the collection, but would most likely not produce many new Warwickshire maps to add to the list. I have arranged this list in chronological order of first appearance. The Folger call number precedes each map's attributed surveyor, draughtsman, or engraver.

WHY NOT VISIT the Lillington Local History Society Website The website address is: www.lillingtonhi story.org Images Andrew Hobbs 1 MANOR FARM ESTATE – The Pre-War Years At the beginning of the 20th Century, the development of Lillington was more or less confined to the area around St Mary Magdalene Church, the Manor House and Manor Farm. A map dated 1903 shows that the terraced houses in Manor Road and Farm Road (or Farm Lane as it was then called) had been built, along with two pairs of semi-detached houses in Vicarage Road. A number of houses along the South side of Cubbington Road, either side of the school, pre-dated this, but most of these are long since demolished. By the early 1920s, Vicarage Road was complete and more terraced houses had been built in Lime Avenue between Cubbington Road and the Smithy Club, presumably the present Lillington (Working Men’s) Club, opposite the end of Manor Road.

  • History of Coventry
    A THE HISTORY OF COVENTRY, BEING A CONCISE ACCOUNT OF THE Ancient Institutions, Customs & Public Buildings, OF THE CITY, AND A COMPLETE EPITOME OF MODERN CHANGES ; TOGETHER WITH AN APPENDIX, INCLUDING A COPIUS AND INTERESTING CHRONOLOGY OF LOCAL OCCURANCES. ------------------------------------ EMBELLISHED WITH NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS. --------------------------- COVENTRY: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY D. LEWIN, HERTFORD STREET. ii iii ii iii AUTHOR’S PREFACE. The present publication being accompanied by an Appendix, requires a few prefatory remarks. The first issue of 1847, in bound-up volumes entire, being, sold off, the Proprietor determined to send out the remaining portion of the edition in numbers, with a view of rendering its circulation more convenient to the working classes of his fel- low-townsmen ; for perhaps there is no topic upon which even the reading public of Coventry are so much in the dark, as that of the History of their own City ; and yet there is none with which they ought to be more conversant. In making this second issue in numbers, it was at the same time determined to add a supplementary Appendix, fur- nishing such corrective or explanatory remarks to the first publication as had become necessary, and comprising all the additional matters of History in connexion with the town, which has occurred since the month of July, 1847,—an interval replete with incidents and changes, of great interest, and equal importance. iv AUTHOR’S PREFACE. v In perusing the Appendix therefore, it must be borne in mind, that its compilation took place from four to five years after the first part of the work ; which will account for some passages and statements appearing as it were disconnected from the relative portion of the same subject in the antecedent pages.
