  • Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans Handlist
    Records Service Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans handlist The Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 replaced the ancient system of payment of tithes in kind with monetary payments. As part of the valuation process which was undertaken by the Tithe Commissioners a series of surveys were carried out, part of the results of which are the Tithe Maps and Apportionments. An Apportionment is the principal record of the commutation of tithes in a parish or area. Strictly speaking the apportionment and map together constitute a single document, but have been separated to facilitate use and storage. The standard form of an Apportionment contains columns for the name(s) of the landowners and occupier(s); the numbers, acreage, name or description, and state of cultivation of each tithe area; the amount of rent charge payable, and the name(s) of the tithe-owner(s). Tithe maps vary greatly in scale, accuracy and size. The initial intent was to produce maps of the highest possible quality, but the expense (incurred by the landowners) led to the provision that the accuracy of the maps would be testified to by the seal of the commissioners, and only maps of suitable quality would be so sealed. In the end, about one sixth of the maps had seals. A map was produced for each "tithe district", that is, one region in which tithes were paid as a unit. These were often distinct from parishes or townships. Areas in which tithes had already been commutated were not mapped, so that coverage varied widely from county to county.

    Examinations of the Bromsgrove District Plan (BDP) and Borough of Redditch Local Plan No.4 (BORLP4) Hearing Statement: Response to Inspector’s Matters, Issues and Questions Matter XB1: Cross-boundary Allocations 5YHLS Joint Statement prepared by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Councils 4th March 2016 Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council Response to the Inspector’s Matters, issues and Questions Matter XB1 - Cross-boundary Allocations XB1.2 Do the Foxlydiate and Brockhill Urban Extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District, having regard to the provision of the necessary infrastructure, affordable housing and other facilities, and taking account of environmental constraints? Is the methodology for selecting these sites robust and transparent? Has appropriate consideration been given to alternative locations? Have exceptional circumstances been demonstrated to justify the removal of land from the Green Belt? 1. In addition to the previous comments made in the previous Hearing Statements XB1/1a and XB1/1b dated 3 rd December 2014 and 8th June 2015 Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) and Redditch Borough Council (RBC) would like to take the opportunity to re-emphasise and add the following comments. 2. The Councils’ consider that the Foxlydiate and Brockhill East urban extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District. The analysis that informs this view can be found in the Housing Growth Development Study (HGDS) [CDX1.1], and further explanation is found in the more recent Narrative on the Site Selection Process for the Growth Areas at Redditch January 2016 [“The Narrative”] which were completed jointly by BDC and RBC officers.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury

  • Churchill & Blakedown Neighbourhood
    Churchill & Blakedown Neighbourhood Plan- Draft November 2014 Vision and Mission: Our vision for the villages of Churchill and Blakedown is one of a continuing recognition of their separate characteristics - Churchill maintaining its essentially historic rural nature and Blakedown with its larger more diverse but essentially compact community, each valuing and respecting the other. Objectives: In order to meet the needs of the Parish in the 21st Century, we aspire to: Create a safe community for our residents and visitors; giving particular attention to Traffic management and parking. Create a sustainable environment, with emphasis on maintaining the ancient tree scape, paths and green spaces to a high standard. To preserve and improve local facilities to serve the needs of our parishioners and for future generations to enjoy. Support small scale housing developments that meet local needs. Increase local access to Health and wellbeing services. Support local business, in particular home working and rural enterprises. Protect the historic centres of the villages, discouraging inappropriate urban style development. Section 1: Characteristics of the Current Neighbourhood Neighbourhood follows the Churchill and Blakedown Parish boundary: the two villages were formed into a separate Parish in 1888. Blakedown: North of Worcestershire, 15 miles west of Birmingham, 5 miles South West of Stourbridge, 3 miles east of Kidderminster. Churchill (conservation area): 1.5 miles north of Blakedown. The Neighbourhood also extends to the west to Hurcott Wood , to the East to include Stakenbridge, and to the North, Ismere. The area is Green Belt land, except for within the Blakedown village boundary, which is classed as rural. Features low hills, open countryside, foot and bridle paths, and a complex pattern of watercourses and small lakes, which previously powered a variety of mills.
