Kislingbury Parish Council Meeting 19th December 2017
All street lighting faults to date have been reported to E.ON by the Street Lighting Wardenand the Clerk and an application for a New Homes Bonus Grant for lighting replacementshas been made to SNC.
A letter of authorisation is now needed to install the defibrillator as the building where it isto be installed is not owned by the Parish Council. However a letter of authorisation isbeing prepared by the owners.
An order for the High Street Bus Shelter has been sent and Parish Council are now awaitinga delivery date.
The NCC Street Doctor has been contacted with a request for drains near the Dovecotecorner to be jetted to assist eradicating flooding. They have replied that this will bereviewed by engineers.
Prologis have been contacted regarding their Swan Valley building as to when the bund willbe fully planted and include evergreen bushes as requested. The development closest toKislingbury is much higher than the original planning application and the lightingsurrounding the site is far too bright and disturbs local residents.
The Parish Council are looking for 2 Parish Council members. If you would like to becomepart of the Council, then please contact Ann Addison, Clerk to the Council, or have aninformal chat with any existing member or come along to our next Meeting – 16th Januaryat 7.30 pm, it would be great to see you.

A Men’s Shed for Kislingbury
What is a Men’s Shed you may ask? Well, it is a large shed where a group of mostly menshare space, tools and other resources to work together on projects of their own choosing.They do this at their own pace in a safe and friendly social environment. It is a place forsharing skills, for informal learning and for exploring ideas. Members engage togetherfollowing their curiosity, new pursuits and community projects. They find satisfaction andachievement through discovery, social interaction and collaboration. Men’s Sheds canbring greater connection and vitality to their community (or at least that’s what the blurbsays!).
If you think this might be for you or would like to find out more of our proposal, contactBernard Gent, 01604 830579, Willow Cottage, Hodges Lane, Kislingbury, or search theweb on - menssheds.org.uk

Tales from Kislingbury ArchivesHistoric facts about Kislingbury – taken from Open Village Programme
C. 1980 continued.........
The Militia List of 1717 details 91 ‘able bodied’ men of the village and gives an indication ofsome of the occupations. From this list we know that 30 men are either: Apprentices 3,Servants 15, or Labourers 12. Sixteen are either Weavers 7 or Wool Combers 9. Six men areshown as either lame or infirm with 8 men detailed as poor men usually with a family of atleast 3 children. Five are Husbandmen (or a son) while at that time in the village were 1 Tailor,1 Cooper, a Chair – Bottomer, a Shepherd, a Victualler and 2 men each as Masons, Butchers,Bakers, Carpenters , Blacksmiths. In addition there was the Constable and his assistant, TheSchoolmaster and the Rector. The remainder do not have the occupation detailed but weknow one was a Miller. Many men ’doubled up’ on their occupation helping out in busy timeson the land. It is interesting to note that with a total population of only 650, the villagesupported five pubs or alehouses.
It is reported that the Feast of St. Luke was a great celebration each October with your friendscoming to visit and a fair held with roundabouts drawn by horses. On one occasion a star turn‘The Wild Man from Borneo’ ran wild in the village and everyone ran to hide.
The Typhoid epidemics of 1895 and 1896 were tragedies that struck the village. They werecaused by drinking water from the School pump and the deaths included the Headmaster andhis daughter. The new water supply was opened by Earl Spencer on 1st December 1898.The Church clock was erected in 1887 in celebration on Queen Victoria’s Jubilee and is to beregilded this year in honour of Queen Elizabeth 11.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF YOUR VILLAGE?
“KISLINGBURY - a glimpse at its past” by J.V.TUTCHENER.
We returned to the UK arriving in the village some 3 years ago, a mere speck in the historicaltime line of Kislingbury. Settling in a small community was a new experience for Aline and I asmy business life working for an American Co had made us rather nomadic. If I wasn’t travellingabroad from the UK we were living in large cities in the Philippines, Hong Kong and India formany years, and most recently 10 years of retirement in Sydney. Aline is French which adds tothe travelling mix, though the 100 yrs war seems to be nearly over!I have always loved history but on a pretty superficial level and was intrigued when a local wagtold me that Cromwell had stayed at The Cromwell Inn in the 1600’s….and sad to say, I boughtit!!So I was very grateful when Bernard suggested that I smarten up and read “Kislingbury, aglimpse at its past” by J.V.Tutchener. I did and it has opened my eyes not only to a veryrelevant, interesting and detailed history of our village but the background informs as to thegeneral social and economic history of small communities across England over many centuries.I am not a historian, nor indeed a writer, so I offer only a short plagiarized précis of some of thekey events which have defined our Kislingbury Village between the 8th and 20th Centuries.There remains little documented record about Ceselingeberie until the Doomsday Censuscommissioned by William The Conqueror in 1086, when our medieval village was recorded asowned by two absentee Saxon Lords, Tonna and Leuric. Before this the book speculates thatwith the Saxons building a Church at Brixworth in the 800’s there must have been settlementsaround here. The raising and depopulation of Northampton and its surrounds, which were onthe boundary between the warring Saxons and Danes, by the Vikings in the 10th/early 11thCwould have halted village growth and suggests that is why our recorded history only reallybegins in the 1100’s.We learn that for the greater part of history Kislingbury was a farming community. Between1042 and 1611 lands were owned by Saxon, Norman/ English Lords, always non-resident, butfarmed under tenancy until 1611 when the land was sold to local farmers thus endingFeudalism. The book contains wonderful detail about farming practices, ridge and furrowfields, still visible today, and small holdings for crops such as Corn and Peas, and livestock,mainly sheep; also fascinating detail of the great Lords who owned the land. Then in 1779 theKislingbury Enclosures Act defined the fields as we know them today.We all know about the Civil War in the 1600’s during the reign of Charles 1st and this sectionof the book thrilled me, describing Kislingbury’s part in this great historic event. In 1645Kislingbury became the HQ of the Parliamentarian Army under General Fairfax. OliverCromwell sent his own troops to join Fairfax in an encampment of some 10000 troops in thearea now known as Camp Lane. The Royalist Army of Charles 1st was camped at Daventry.Cromwell arrived to address the troops at Camp Lane on 13th June 1645 before he and Fairfaxmarched on Daventry, flanking the Royalists and eventually engaging and beating them at TheBattle of Naseby on June 14th….and the rest is history as they say. Wonderful stuff!There were few other major historical events that affected Kislingbury in this way and farmingcontinued to dominate social and economic life even as late as 1891. In the early 1800’s bootand shoe making replaced weaving in the village, and as factories opened in Northampton, and
14
transport improved, many farm labourers took advantage of improved mobility to take upemployment in the growing shoe industry.This was the beginning of real change and Tutchener gives us a vast amount of real detailas to how our village was impacted by these changes, with countless facts about thepeople, the streets and the buildings, much of which remain today. He covers all aspectsof village development, including :– The 7 pubs which have existed in Kislingbury overhundreds of years [The Red Lion 1743, The Sun Inn 1866], the true history of The CromwellInn, the impact of Compulsory Education in 1870 on living standards, the Church first builtin the early 1300’s, the Bridge, and looking way back to the 2 Corn Mills on the Nene in1086, the sacrifice of the 1st and 2nd World Wars, and so on and so on. Great detail,photos and insight.I have done no justice either to content or timeline, but if you have anyinterest in the history of this lovely medieval village in which you live find acopy of J.V.Tutchener’s “Kislingbury, a glimpse at its past” to browse andlearn more. It is full of facts, details, explanations and pictures/maps.My apologies to Tony Tutchener for butchering his Dad’s outstanding work.Should you want a copy please contact Tony on 830818 or call at 16 MillRoad, Kislingbury

Kislingbury AmblersWe meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at
the Olde Red Lion if you wish to join us
December Walks
Fifteen of our group met outside the Red Lion public house located in Denton.Our first impressions of this tiny, but attractive hamlet were interesting,especially the 19th century church of St Margaret, the 19th century waterpump, a large water trough – with goldfish!! and the many footpaths leadingaway from the centre of the hamlet. The weather was brisk with a noticeablewind chill, so a quick start was made for the first walk of the month.
For those interested, the church has 16 murals painted by the well knownNorthamptonshire born artist Henry Bird. More of his work can be seen aroundthe county including the Royal Theatre and the Guildhall. The church is openbetween 10.00 and 16.00 week days, but it's advisable to check beforehand.
After crossing the green and passing under the private archway (sign posted)next to the 'Upper Gatehouse' brought us onto Orchard/Vicarage Lane. Thefootpath route taken was well sign posted and basically rectangular. We tookan anti-clockwise route over ploughed and seeded fields, hills of varyingseverity, finally returning along Whiston Road. The distance was approximately5.3 miles and took just over 2 hours.

‘JAZZ IN JUNE’Following the stupendous success of our Jazz fundraising event for Gosset neo-natalunit last year, we are delighted to announce a repeat ‘Jazz in June’ event atKislingbury Village Hall, to be held on SATURDAY JUNE 9TH, STARTING at 6.30 pm.
As before, the ever-popular Fenny Stompers Jazz Band will be in residence toentertain us as we enjoy a delicious full buffet meal provided by the Jazz TeamCaterers. Tickets £25 per person. A bar will also be open, and as before, magnificentraffle prizes will be provided to encourage your generous donations to our chosencause.
We know that demand for tickets will be high, and this is an advance notice toKislingbury residents. One hundred and fifteen tickets will be available fromThursday February 1st from the Jazz Team listed below.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY FOR 2018 IS THE PROPOSED ‘EMERGENCYASSESSMENT BAY’ AT TALBOT BUTLER CANCER WARD, NGH.
Our charity support this year will be towards the proposed ‘Emergency AssessmentBay’ on the Talbot Butler Cancer Ward at NGH. At present, cancer patients who areundergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other life-saving treatments have nochoice but to report to the A&E department at Northampton General Hospital. Thiscan lead to long waits and exposure to unwanted bugs and germs, and lack of privacywhen the patient already has a lowered immune system and may be feelingexceedingly unwell, tired and generally ‘down’. It is hoped that an ‘EmergencyAssessment Bay’ can be incorporated on the Talbot Butler ward, where thosepatients can be helped, encouraged and treated without the need to report to A&E.The plan to convert an existing bay on the ward, which has 4- 5 beds, is still in itsinfancy. The Charity at the hospital hope to launch the appeal for this project inSpring 2018 when all the planning and building tenders are complete. This projectwill require a massive amount of fund raising and we hope Kislingbury will be one ofthe first to help kick start this plan into action in June, by supporting this veryworthwhile cause.
