In Search of Winchcombe Abbey The history of the longvanished Winchcombe Abbey was the subject of my last article. For this month I am giving you a walk round the town searching for clues for its existence.

It could make a pleasant activity for a warm summer’s evening!

Standing in Abbey Terrace with St Peter’s Church on your left, the entrance to Abbey House was probably the entrance to the abbey itself. Follow the imposing stone wall towards the shops and peer through the lattice work of the small gateway to make out the fragments of stone walls crossing the path; surviving traces of the east end of the abbey church. A few metres further on the wall’s stonework changes. The left-hand, newer wall was built in 1835 when Abbey Terrace was cut out of the monks’ cemetery; cars are now parked where the cemetery once lay!

Before leaving Abbey Terrace, a short detour along Cowl Lane leads to another massive stone wall, with a blocked archway just past Little Keep. We know the wall and archway were built about 1770 when the town’s poorhouse stood on its far side, but archaeological excavations have shown it more or less marks the boundary of the abbey’s ground after c.1000AD. Before then the grounds stretched as far as North Street.

Retrace your steps to the High Street. At The Cross, the town’s museum displays some carved stones rescued from the abbey.

The George Inn before it was ‘restored’ by Emma Dent at the end of the nineteenth century. (Tim Petchey)

The former George Inn stands nearly opposite the museum. Two cottages were demolished to make way for it when Richard Kidderminster, abbot from 1488 to 1531, built this accommodation for pilgrims. His initials can still be seen on the doorway, but the courtyard interior was heavily restored by Emma Dent of Sudeley at the end of the nineteenth century.

The next stop is at Food Fanatics in North Street. Even if you don’t decide to pause for refreshment, this is an important site, for in 1977 an archaeological dig before the building was extended at the back indicated that c.1000AD land the commercial buildings on this side of North Street were planned by the abbey, presumably to increase its income from rents.

Continue up North Street and opposite Chandos Street you will find a very narrow house, evidence that at one time Chandos Street continued across North Street and Cowl Lane and across the site of the abbey. The blocking up might have happened in the 1200s but we can’t be totally sure. At the Back Lane crossroads, turn left past the library and so to the impressive

earth bank lining the road on the left. This dates back to Saxon times when Winchcombe was an important town. Today’s historians still debate whether it also marked the northern edge of the abbey’s grounds.

Walk along Back Lane to the Langley Road junction and turn left. Here there is an excuse to visit the Corner Cupboard Inn! Carved stone from the abbey can be seen built into the internal walls, but also notice the large buttresses outside.

It is just possible that Malthouse Lane follows the line of a filled-in ditch which marked the end of the medieval town of Winchcombe. Next, don’t

miss the rabbit frieze on the house opposite the Corner Cupboard Inn. The story is that it came from the abbey.

From here notice how Gloucester Street curves to the right. It seems the abbey created this road, possibly c.1200, to line it with houses, shops and workshops to increase its income from rents, as it had already done in North Street.

On the way back towards the church, turn down Mill Lane which once led to the abbey’s mill, although sadly nothing survives of it today.

Now return to Queen’s Square along the alleyway which passes the Chandos almshouses.

This was possibly the earlier route out of town before Gloucester Street was built. Finally, visit St Peter’s church and see the wooden door carrying Richard Kidderminster’s initials together with a display of abbey tiles. If you want to find out more about the history of Winchcombe Abbey, purchase one of John and Jo Stevinson’s booklets which are on sale in the church.

Did you know?

Boilers account for around 55% of what you spend in a year on energy bills.

You can save as much as £310 a year by replacing it.

Winter might seem like some time away but you can save money by preparing for it now; plumbers are cheaper while the weather is warmer and there are still offers on insulation and boilers so start work now before winter arrives and the prices go up.

Switch your bills now It’s a great time to switch to a cheaper provider as the major providers typically start to increase their prices any day now, just in time for winter.

Find a copy of your last gas and electricity bills, go to the energy-switching page on Moneymagpie.com and find a cheaper deal for yourself.

It’s often worth considering one of the smaller suppliers however if you want to stick to a major supplier you may be eligible for discounted bills through the government’s ECO (Energy Company Obligation) scheme which offers heating and insulation improvements for low-income and means tested households. Visit www.gov. uk/energy-company-obligation or call the Energy Saving Trust on 0300 123 1234 for details.

Boilers If your boiler is coming to the end of its life, now is a good time to have it replaced. Most boilers over 15 years old can be repaired to keep them working, but they will be less efficient than modern ones. Even factoring in the cost of a new boiler you could save money by replacing it now.

Page 10

Save Money by Doing Winter Things Now

Also, you could receive up to £270 cashback for updating your boiler through the new government energy improvement scheme, The Green Deal Cashback Scheme, which gives you money back if you make energy efficiency improvements in your home.

The Green Deal is available to households in England and Wales and operates on a firstcome, first-served basis, even if you are renting privately or in social housing. Firstly, have a Green Deal assessment carried out on your property which will provide you with a report of what could be improved. Then agree to a quote or Green Deal plan with a Green Deal Provider. You can find them online at www.greendealorb. co.uk/consumersearch. Apply for the Green Deal Cashback Voucher at www.gdcashback. decc.gov.uk. Make sure you have the work completed before the voucher expires and you’ll receive your cashback within 30 days.

Insulation Now is a great time to get up-to-date insulation as it’s a quiet period for installers.

Insulation materials are also much cheaper to buy in the summer and early autumn.

Efficient insulation can cut the cost of heating and cooling by 40%, while loft insulations save an average 20% on your energy bills annually.

Don’t forget you can also find loft insulation vouchers on

Jasmine Birtles, Moneymagpie.com websites like Groupon as well as applying for the Green Deal.

Draught-proofing Draught-proofing is one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to save energy in your home. The Energy Saving Trust claims you can save £55 a year.

You could save more money by taking the DIY route but remember some older properties with single glazing will be more difficult to draughtproof and if you are not comfortable with your DIY skills, hiring a professional could save you money in the long run.

Check your home insurance policy before carrying out work yourself to ensure that you’re covered for DIY. Plumbers Summer and early autumn is a slower time of year for plumbers so you could find the rates more favourable, and you’ll also be able to get the work completed quickly. Have any pipe repairs or radiator work done now to eliminate cold spots and fix wasteful dripping taps. It’s also worth having the plumbers in just to check everything is ship shape for winter.

Moneymagpie.com has up to date information on hundreds of ways to earn a bit on the side and boost your income – and more are being added every week. There is also a wealth of information on best-buy financial products, plus heaps of articles to help you be a clever consumer and make the most of your money.

Mediterranean Fish Bake Serves 4

Ready in 50 minutes This is a great one-pan dish full of fresh flavour. Monkfish is quite pricey but the meaty flesh is delicious and bakes really well, however you can replace it with cod loin, salmon steaks or thick pieces of haddock fillet if you prefer. Serve with a green salad and warmed ciabatta bread to mop up all the lovely herb and lemon flavoured pan juices.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil (choose a good quality fruity one) • 350g small new potatoes, halved • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks • 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks • 1 green pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks • 225g small plum tomatoes, halved • 4 monkfish fillets (each weighing about 150g) • 50g butter, softened • Pared rind and juice from 1 small lemon, plus extra wedges to serve • 1 tbsp fresh chopped oregano • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tip Replace the peppers with sliced courgettes, chunks of celery and baby button mushrooms, if liked.

Page 14

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Place the oil in a large non-stick roasting tin and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the tin and toss to coat in the hot oil. Roast for 20 minutes, turning once.

Add the peppers and tomatoes to the roasting tin and toss to coat in the hot oil. Make a space in the tin and add the monkfish fillets. Return the roasting tin to the oven for 10 minutes.

Dot the butter over the fish fillets and sprinkle over the lemon rind, juice and oregano. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and roast for a further 5-10 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the potatoes and peppers are tender.

Slice each monkfish fillet and arrange with the potatoes, peppers and tomatoes on four warmed serving plates. Spoon over the pan juices and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Making your dream a reality It was during one of those conversations, you know the type, when the beers are flowing, the sun is shining and we are all dreaming of a 6 ball lotto win! We've all had them and this one was no different when 22yr old Bernard was asked, "If you could do anything right now, what would you be doing and why?"

Bernard has always dreamt of being a scuba diving instructor in the Caribbean, but never thought he'd have an opportunity to realise his dream. His friends told him about Dive 90 who offer courses and are based right here in Cheltenham, so the next morning Bernard called them up and booked a 1 hour Pool Based Try Dive.* Following his try dive, Bernard decided to go for it and follow his dream of becoming a qualified Divemaster!

Glos Directories will follow his journey and update you on his progress in upcoming issues of the magazine. Best of luck Bernard!

Weed Attack

by Pippa Greenwood

Ask a dictionary the definition of a weed and you’ll read that it’s ‘a plant growing in the wrong place’. Ask a gardener, and they’ll tell you that weeds are often the number one menace in their garden.

Some weeds are pretty, some less so, but one thing they all have in common is that they are indeed growing where you don’t want them, and may be causing your garden plants to suffer. So if you want to wage war on those pesky weeds, and stand a chance of winning, take a look at my multi-pronged attack strategy.

Off with their Heads Whatever the weed problem, it’s essential to prevent them from setting seed as most weeds are very efficient at building up their numbers by seed. So even if you don’t have the time to sort the weed out properly, make sure you cut off its head before it has a chance to even start to set seed. The old saying that ‘one year’s seed is seven years’ weed’ isn’t far from the truth.

Page 26

Stop Stowaways When you’re next shopping for plants in your local garden centre or nursery make sure that you only bring home what you want, not those pesky weed stowaways that often lurk on the compost surface. I always do a bit of weeding before buying: especially for weeds such as the innocent looking hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) with their tiny rosettes or leaves and pretty little white flower heads.

Spaghetti roots Some weeds like couch grass, bindweed and nettles have amazingly resilient and far-reaching underground stems or roots. If you’ve just taken on a new plot of land, be it a garden or an allotment, there is a good chance that it’ll be riddled with at least one of these spaghettirooted weeds. Whatever you do, don’t succumb to the temptation to use a powered cultivator or rotovator as this will chop the roots in to little bits and end up spreading and increasing the problem in

the process.

Lawn Louts Lawn weeds such as dandelions and daisies are difficult to control as unlike the taller weeds, these rosette-forming plants won’t be harmed as you mow the lawn. One of the best methods is to tackle them with a sturdy old kitchen knife or a daisy-grubber tool. It may be a slow process but will allow you to dig them out individually.

Deep Rooted Problems Some weeds such as docks and dandelions have tough and chunky roots that are very difficult to kill. And to make matters worse, if you leave any sizeable bit of the root in the soil, it’s likely to form a new plant. Do everything you can to take out the entire root as you’ll be saving a lot of time in the long run. I have recently discovered a great pocketsized weeder, originally from New Zealand but now manufactured over here.

It’s brilliant for removing this sort of weed and others such as small thistles, creeping buttercups and so forth. Find out more in the ‘products’ section of www.

Laying Carpet If large areas are weedy you could try the carpet option; literally covering the surface with a layer or two of carpet, held in place with bricks. If the carpet is placed fluffy side down and left in place for at least 18 months, the weeds will start to die off from lack of light.

Make sure that the carpet is made from natural fibres, not synthetic or else you’ll be left with it in the soil, and for allotments, check that there are no restrictions on using carpet.

Time it Right Some weeds such as the purple flowered oxalis spread by forming tiny

Careful what you Compost Only compost the green, leafy bits of weeds; avoid any chunky roots, and never put any flowering or seeding weeds in the compost heap. Some weed seeds will easily survive most domestic composting systems.

Hoe, hoe, hoe An old fashioned and still just as useful method of weed control is the hoe.

They’re readily available at any decent garden centre and are a great way to weed your garden, especially if it’s largely annual weeds such as chickweed or groundsel that invade your plot. Keep the hoe sharp and use it

regularly.

‘bulbils’ or miniature bulbs below ground. If you try to dig these weeds out at this time of year, you’ll run in to trouble as the bulbils will be shed into the surrounding soil as you lift the plant out, making matters worse.

Wait until next spring when the bulbils will be firmly attached and weed them out then.

Numbers

Numbers, Rachel Ward Imagine that every time you look into someone’s eyes, you see the date on which they’ll die. Such is fifteen year old Jem’s secret. Understandably, she tends to keep away from people in general. Then along comes Spider. He and Jem strike up a friendship that will bring Jem out of herself. It’s all going quite well, until they take a day trip into London. What happens when you realise that everybody in a massive queue has the SAME number?

Impending doom seems likely and only Jem and Spider can save them.

Slaugherhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut Told through the eyes of World War 2 soldier Billy Pilgrim, this satirical novel is deemed to be one of the greatest anti-war books ever written. Chaplain’s assistant Billy refuses to fight and is captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He and his fellow POWs are kept in a disused slaughterhouse and, along with their German guards, are some of the few survivors of the firebombing of Dresden.

Billy’s funny, often bittersweet story is an odyssey through time and is another ‘must-read’ for everybody searching for meaning in life.

It’s back to school in September and to help with your mental arithmetic, we’ve put together some of the best novels that feature numbers. Some may be more mentally challenging than others, but pay attention in the back, and it’ll all add up.

A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…’ begins Dickens’ classic set in prerevolutionary France, following the life of the aristocrat Charles Darnay who, despite his kindhearted nature, will become a victim of the tumultuous times that lie ahead. His life is paralleled with that of English Barrister Sydney Carton, who is suffering the pain of unrequited love. The object of his affection: Darnay’s wife. Originally published in weekly instalments, it was a veritable Dickensian soap opera about the days of their lives and the build-up to the French Revolution.

I am Number Four, Pittacus Lore They killed Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. John Smith is Number Four. Just a teenager, John moves from place to place, anxious that those hunting him will catch up. This is science fiction writing at its best and you’ll definitely be sucked in, especially when you realise that Earth isn’t the only planet in the universe that can sustain life.

John has escaped from a rival caste on his own planet and is now one of nine in hiding. The fugitives can only be killed in their number order and they

will survive… as long as they remain apart.

The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas If you’re thinking dogs and cats then you’re confused with Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. This is the original historical romance

by Dumas, chronicling the adventures of D’Artagnan and the King’s Musketeers, aka Athos, Porthos and Aramis.

Defending the regiment against the forces of Cardinal Richelieu, we’re transported back to seventeenth century France for some dramatic encounters, fastpaced action and drama, not to mention the villainous ‘Milady’, who goes down in history as one of the best female baddies of all time.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey Told through the eyes of the seemingly-mute American Indian, Chief Bromden, this is the story of the inmates at an Oregon State mental hospital, where Nurse Ratched rules the wards with a tyrannical arm. Into this mix comes McMurphy, the twinkle-in-hiseye, cat-among-the-pigeons livewire who’s ready to turn Ratched’s regime on its head.

Kesey’s masterpiece is moving and compelling, very funny at points and at others, absolutely terrifying.

The Better Life Lawn to be Wild

by Derek Thompson

Cutting the grass seems such a waste of time to me. Just like fingernails, toenails and hair (if you’re lucky), it’ll only grow back again. True, it’s a valuable addition to the compost, but that’s about it.

Whereas, one of the things I love most about the garden as a whole is its adaptability. Yes, it’s an ecosystem and a natural habitat, but it’s also something more: a blank canvas just waiting for my often ill-thoughtout ideas.

Bored with grass? (And, by grass, I mean patches of grass among the swathes of dandelions.) There’s a remedy for that - simply put down bark chips. Worried that the bees and butterflies need more encouragement to stay and thrive? Easy peasy - grow more flowers and grow a variety to suit different insects.

And while you’re about it, make sure you provide a shallow source of water so they can drink.

We wanted to take the whole rural thing a stage further (no, not a tractor - it wouldn’t fit through the gate), and decided to create a meadow. Or rather, with our garden: a mini meadow.

First, I dug out a rough circle - and believe me, it was rough.

Next, with the turf removed, we put down a layer of 50 / 50 soil and sharp sand. We brought Page 44

in native wildflower seeds and some from Flanders’ poppies, which came impregnated on paper rolls. Some judicious scissor work to patchwork the sections, soak with water and then another layer of soil and sand.

Naturally, the cat supervised the proceedings, technically outranking Anne as chief observer. Porsha’s presence was also a timely reminder to put netting over the circle from the beginning. After that, it’s a case of occasional watering, watching and waiting.

The seeds stir into life very quickly. Try as you might though, it’s nigh on impossible to stop the daisies from encroaching over the edges.

Maybe they’re just arriving early to the party.

The edges of the garden are largely wild (and some of the neighbours are probably furious), a rather fetching tangle of lords and ladies, buttercups and grasses, with seasonal appearances from bluebells, columbines, foxgloves and pulmonaria. We also have something we know as Mrs West, but have never

been able to identify properly - so much for the power of the internet.

The joy of having wild garden areas is the same sense of excitement as buying lucky bags as a child. Only, in this case, instead of a disappointing car with a broken wheel, the surprise might be scarlet pimpernel, wild strawberries (Anne’s not keen - she says they take over), or dog violets.

And even today we argue over speedwell vs. forget-me-nots in an identity parade.

We haven’t gone entirely au naturel. Having previously installed a few raised beds, Anne opted for violas (Avril Lawson), geums (Mrs Bradshaw) and bellis. None of which explains the catmint we planted near the front gate, principally to see whether Porsha would appreciate it.

Strangely, while she loved it when it was a mere kittenmint in the conservatory, she treats it with indifference now it’s out in the open. Not to worry though; if last year was anything to go by, she’ll love the next butternut squash plant.
