The scheme comprises the redevelopment and replacement of an existing late 20th century cold storage facility, Units 1–4, occupying approximately 20% of the site, and their replacement with a new cold store facility on much the same footprint. The foundations would be piled. No basement is proposed. Several smaller structures are also proposed, together with a new car parking area in the south. This desk-based study assesses the impact on buried heritage assets (archaeological remains) and above ground heritage assets (structures and landscapes of heritage interest) within or immediately around the site. It also considers the impact of the scheme on the historic character and setting of designated assets within and beyond the site (e.g. views to and from listed buildings and conservation areas). The site does not contain any nationally designated (protected) heritage assets, such as scheduled monuments, listed buildings or registered parks and gardens. The site does not lie within a conservation area or within an area of high archaeological potential, as designated by the local planning authority. Above ground heritage The site is on a prominent location in the surrounding landscape, albeit on a site that is already developed with large-scale warehousing. The assessment has included preliminary scoping to identify which designated heritage assets might potentially be affected in terms of changes to their setting. Above ground heritage assets potentially affected comprise: Cold Store office building. The office building in the south-western corner of the site dates to 1973–4 and was at that time the largest cold store facility of its type in Europe. It is not on statutorily or locally listed. It is however mentioned briefly in the Buildings of England, and is an asset of low heritage significance. Easton Park Registered Park and Garden. The eastern boundary of Grade II registered Easton Park lies 90m west of the site. The park was laid out in the 1840s and is an asset of high heritage significance. Easton Park listed buildings. The park contains 13 Grade II listed buildings of high heritage significance. Farm buildings near High Dike. Two farm complexes at Old Park and Stoke Grange, 1.1km north and 1.9km north west of the site. Primarily dating to the late-18th century, there are five listed buildings in total, listed at Grade II and of high heritage significance. Stoke Rochford Hall Registered Park and Garden. This Grade II* Registered Park and Garden was laid out in its current form in the 1840s. Its south-eastern boundary is under 2km north-west of the site. It is an asset of very high heritage significance. Designated heritage assets within the park considered in the assessment include the Grade I listed Stoke Rochford Hall, built in c. 1841–5 (very high significance) (very high significance), three Grade I and two Grade II* listed buildings (very high significance) and three Grade II listed buildings (high significance). The proposed development would entail the demolition of the Cold Store office building. This could be mitigated by an appropriate programme of Historic England standing building recording (e.g. Level 2 basic record), prior to demolition. The proposed development would entail the construction of a new warehouse that is taller than the existing warehouses on site, and would result in less than substantial harm to 10 designated heritage assets beyond the site in terms of slight material changes to setting. The overall heritage significance of the assets would remain unchanged. The adverse effects could however be reduced to some extent by planting across the site, through a colour banded external cladding, ways to minimise the effect of the pitched roofline and through appropriate lighting schemes. Buried heritage The main potential for the site is for Roman remains. The site lies 130m to the east of the course of a former major Roman road, ‘Ermine Street’, 40m east of a potential settlement at Easton. It is thought that a secondary WSP XPO LOGISTICS, UNIT 1–4 EASTON, GRANTHAM July 2018 Project No.: 70042740 | Our Ref No.: 70042740-PF6 iSEC road off Ermine Street crossed the south-eastern corner of the site, but there is currently no archaeological evidence for this. The site has moderate potential to contain evidence of settlement, roadside activity and agriculture, of medium or high significance, depending on the nature and extent of the remains. The potential for other periods is low. There is little evidence of prehistoric activity, although this may reflect the lack of past archaeological investigation in the area. Whilst it has been speculated that Ermine Street followed the line of a prehistoric routeway in this area, the geology of the site may not have been a first choice for early agriculture and settlement is more likely to have focused closer to water sources some distance away. The site was located some distance from the centres of historic settlement, and was probably open fields throughout much of the later medieval and post-medieval period. Whilst there is potential for evidence of post-medieval agriculture, remains of field ditches and such would be of negligible significance. Mine entrance excavations in the late 1950s (the mining itself lies are well below any archaeology and will not have had an impact), along with its subsequent development as a large scale frozen food factory, will have compromised archaeological survival across much of the site.

  • The Uffington Group of Churches Benefice Profile and Statement Of
    The Bourne Uffington Group of Churches A6121 Benefice Profile A15 and Wilsthorpe Statement of Needs Braceborough A6121 Greatford Market Deeping Barholm West Deeping A1 A1175 Uffington Tallington Stamford A606 Introduction Thank you for taking an interest in the Uffington Group of Churches. If you are reading this to see whether you might be interested in becoming our next Rector, we hope you will find it helpful. If you are reading this for any other reason, we hope you will find this profile interesting, and if you are in the area, or might just be passing through, we hope that you might wish to come and see us. We hope that our new Rector will be able to inspire us in three key areas of our discipleship growth plans: drawing more of our villagers, especially from the missing generations, to respond to the message of the gospel (ie making more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King might have said); enhancing the faith of current members of our congregations (responding to the need for more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King did say); ensuring that our seven churches are not only kept open and functioning, but are made more attractive focal points for the lives of our parishioners and communities. We believe that such a person is likely to be: someone who will prayerfully seek to preach, teach and share scriptural truth; willing to grasp the nature of rural ministry; able to preserve the identity of each parish while maintaining coherence of the Group; comfortable with a range of worship and broad expression of faith; able to develop and communicate an inspirational vision for building God’s work amongst all ages in the Group and in each parish; able to lead, cultivate and enthuse teams of volunteers involved in the ministry, administration and upkeep of the seven churches; open, approachable and supportive, and willing to be visible at community events in all the villages; keen to guide and support the Christian ethos of the Uffington Church of England Primary School, being a regular visitor to the school and ex-officio governor.

  • Colsterworth Church Statement of Need
    Colsterworth Church Statement of Need 1. Introduction The Church of St John the Baptist in Colsterworth is an outstanding example of heritage, in that it provides a physical narrative of over a thousand years of architecture, culture, spirituality and the conflict between science and religion. Embedded in its history we find an indisputable connection with Sir Isaac Newton, a figure of global, scientific significance. This provenance transcends even Newton’s link with Westminster Abbey, though tragically, like many other examples of significant heritage, it is at risk. An article in the Guardian newspaper (8.6.15) reminds us that our significant heritage is largely dependent on the support of small, declining religious communities: ‘Congregations are falling – so what can be done to keep historic churches open?’ One solution is to make the buildings work harder for rural communities. Dr Jill Hopkinson, the Church of England’s national rural officer, reminds us of some of the basic principles of increasing the use, and therefore the longevity of the buildings. She adds that this might involve adding toilets and kitchen facilities; in some places the church could be used as a post office or community shop: ‘We do need to think creatively. Shutting the doors should be the last option, not the first.’ It is our proposal that we go further than this. We wish to make this significant example of heritage a dynamic entity which enriches engagement with history, heritage and creativity. In order to do this, through the establishment of a heritage centre for learning and the arts, we need the addition, at a very basic level, of certain essential facilities.
