part in the Council for British archaeology East Midlands Boundary Project it was decided to pull together information 1760 1841 Arable we had (both on and off-line) to create a coherent document for interested parties to access. Home 1841 Ley The document is in tw1939o parts, Langham P1841arish Election Maps sho & wingFaggot fiel Vdoting patterns and Wnamesoodland from 1624 to 2000 and secondly, the detailed survey of the Parish Boundary carried out during the latter half of the 19th c by the Ordnance Survey and local Meresmen. 2000 Multiple All In 1624 a map (DE3214/4583) was drawn for the Noel family, new owners of the Manor of Langham and purchased from Gregory Cromwell at the beginning of the 17tth century. This map provided the new owners with information about the land, property and occupiers, allowing them to assess future income potential. A more detailed and much larger map created in 1760 by Edmund Dipper was drawn to a much larger scale than that of 1624. It provided a more detailed view resolving individual mature trees. It was, however, used for a similar purpose. There are three 1840s tithe maps; one shows individual field numbers, a second shows dwelling and property numbers and the third map shows land to the east of the village divided into fictional one-acre plots for the purpose of faggot voting in the General Election. There is a separate detailed apportionment which lists the owners, occupiers, acreage and the land usage for each field. The 1939 map was compiled to make use of field names as a means of navigation (and tracking the enemy) after the removal of signposts in case of invasion. The 2000 map was produced for display in the Langham 2000 exhibition by Don Mantle and Bill Nourish, two retired farmers with an interest in local history based on their expert local knowledge. Following the 1841 election, the Ordnance Survey (OS) carried out a survey of the local administrative boundaries for Great Britain which was completed by 1888. The boundary between the parish of Langham and its neighbouring parishes of Ashwell, Burley, Oakham Deans Hold with Barleythorpe, Cold Overton (Leicestershire) and Whissendine was surveyed between 1878 and 1883. Each parish appointed its own ‘Meresman’ who had considerable local knowledge, to work collaboratively with the OS surveyor (usually a military engineer) and Meresmen from the adjoining parishes to agree, rather than impose, the boundary and to record the results in survey books now held by the National Archives. Thomas Nettleship was the Meresman and Assistant Overseer for the Parish of Langham and he collaborated with John S. Egan, a member of the Royal Engineers. Meresmen from the surrounding parishes were: John Tidd - Ashwell, C.J. Bradshaw - Burley, John Carter - Cold Overton, R.S Hayr - Oakham Dean’s Hold with Barleythorpe and John Green - Whissendine. Many of these boundaries had been in place for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. This work created the first comprehensive cartographical record for the UK.

  • Catchment Scale Fine Sediment Dynamics and Its Implications for Flood Management
    Catchment scale fine sediment dynamics and its implications for flood management Sarah J Twohig School of Architecture Building and Civil Engineering A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University © by Sarah Twohig 2018 Abstract The impact of fine sediment on catchment flood risk is often neglected when designing and implementing catchment managements plans. Yet, the accumulation of fine sediment can diminish channel capacity, causing an increase in flood risk. To successfully transition away from costly and invasive sediment management methods towards an integrated Natural Flood Management (NFM) approach, the dynamics of fine sediment and its implications for flood risk management must be explored. This thesis employs a novel geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and social approach to explore the influence of fine sediment on flood risk. Hydrological modelling of connectivity and erosion risk was conducted to determine the potential sources using SCIMAP. The model found the River Eye has relatively low connectivity, suggesting sources of sediment in- channel are likely derived from local sources such as river banks. The sub- catchments of Burton Brook and Langham Brook as the areas of highest connectivity and erosion risk indicating likely source areas. To explore patterns of spatial and temporal fine sediment transport an intensive field monitoring campaign was conducted using Time Integrated Mass Sediment samplers (TIMS) across the River Eye catchment. The suspended sediment samples found sites upstream of the silt trap had higher sediment loads than downstream, indicating the silt traps effectiveness in reducing fine sediment. Sediment yield analysis found the Burton Brook tributary is a significant contributor of fine sediments delivering 17.4 g km2 day-1.

  • A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland by Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013
    A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland By Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013 1. Introduction 1.1 The Historic View Lacking the trout-haunted chalk streams or salmon-spawning upland rivers, Leicestershire and Rutland (L&R) have tended to be little regarded in fishery terms. Even the main coarse rivers (Soar, Welland) were not seen as measuring up to the Severn or Thames. In “The Compleat Angler”, Izaak Walton’s only reference to Leicestershire is to name it as one of the counties through which the Trent flows (forming the county boundary for a relatively short distance near Castle Donington). 1.2 Previous Studies There appear to have been few previous reviews or studies of fish populations related specifically to Leicestershire and/or Rutland. Browne (1889) listed L&R’s fish (also including details of fossil fish from the two counties). The wording used in the 1889 document was repeated almost exactly in Browne’s contribution to the Victoria County History (1907), though there is differentiation of River and Brook Lamprey in the 1889 publication, a distinction that was slightly confused in the VCH. Through the 20th Century, fish surveys were undertaken by the various water authorities, providing the information relevant to Leicestershire and Rutland mapped in Maitland (1972) and Davies et al (2004). Onions (2008, 2009) gave an overview of Leicestershire fish. 1.3 Recording Fish Whilst the bulk of fish surveys are undertaken by Environment Agency (EA) fisheries teams, utilising techniques such as netting and electrofishing, other people are recording fish and generating distribution maps.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy
    LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Version & Policy Number 1 Guardian Dave Brown, Director for Places (Environment, Planning & Transport) Date Produced 20 February 2018 Next Review Date 17 October 2022 Considered by Scrutiny 16 November 2017 Approved by Cabinet 17 April 2018 Appendix 1 - Rutland County Council - Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Summary of document This strategy will provide an overview for how the Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) will lead and co-ordinate local flood risk management in Rutland. It will act as the focal point for integrating all flood risk management functions in the County and has regard to the Environment Agency’s National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy. The document provides a background to the need for such a strategy, detailing the local and national drivers whilst setting out where responsibility for different flood risks lay. The existing framework for managing and communicating flood risk is briefly described including how RCC are currently fulfilling their LLFA roles. The uplands of Rutland provide headwaters for three separate catchments, these relatively steep clay uplands appear conducive to flash flooding but historically the mapped risk and actual experience of flooding is somewhat limited, even during recent heavy rainfall events and as such the level of flood risk has been deemed to be relatively low in both local and national assessments. Two reservoirs dominate the landscape in the area and both are well managed and have a negligible flood risk being more significant for their wildlife designations and the amenity they provide to residents and visitors of the area.
