		Charnwood Music was established in 1958 by Francis Wright in Leicester, England with a view of encouraging British composers to write and expand the literature for the standard bass piano accordion.
		The name Charnwood was the name of his street while the emblem "Old John" Castle was a landmark in the Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire.
		Following the death of Francis Wright in 1997 (aged 80), and the retirement of the other owners Jessie Wright and Pauline Noon, Charnwood Music was offered to Anna and Raymond Bodell, well known personalities in the UK accordion world, on the basis that they would retain in print all the music for the accordion.

	Charnwood Lodge
		The area covered by the reserve was originally part of the Charnwood Forest 'wastes' and the now familiar stone walls were erected during the enclosure period of the early 19th Century, followed by a period of afforestation and drainage.
		Gisborne's Gorse, the largest area of woodland on the reserve, was planted during the later part of the 19th Century and is mainly mixed oak, pine, sycamore and spruce, although a number of exotic species such as coastal redwood, wellingtonia and various pines are to be found in certain areas.
		Charnwood Lodge is also important for bats; both species of pipistrelle and the rare Natterer's breed here, and brown long-eared and noctule are also recorded.

		The Pre-Cambrian rocks of Charnwood Forest are of volcanic origin and can be attributed to a prolonged period of volcanic eruptions from one major crater (now thought to be located near High Sharpley) and a number of lesser vents.
		It was not until the Triassic period that the relief of Charnwood had eventually been denuded sufficiently for it to be buried beneath the dry desert clay- sands which later formed marls (figure 1(d)).
		It is known that ice associated with the last glacial period, the Devensian, did not reach as far south as Charnwood, although the periglacial conditions of the period may have resulted in significant congelifraction particularly on the most exposed highest peaks.

		The role of folding in governing the degree of cleavage is clear in the Charnwood district as evident by the high degree of cleavage present at High Sharpley and other rock outcrops in the north- western area where folding is highly complex.
		The low degree of cleavage at Beacon Hill, in contrast to High Sharpley, is one factor in the maintenance of significant free- faces, although consideration must be given to the overall dip of the bedding planes in relation to the ground surface slope as is described later.
		Although Charnwood and Dartmoor are both areas of igneous rock, the granite of Dartmoor differs from the volcanic tuffs of Charnwood by being more massively and regularly jointed.

	ENGLISH NATURE - Science and Research
		The upper peaks of the Charnwood Natural Area are formed from Precambrian rocks which are some of the oldest rocks in England and contain internationally important fossils that are the earliest known life recorded in England.
		Charnwood Forest has a variety of habitats including extensive woodlands, some of which are remnants of medieval parks, and acid grassland and lowland heath on the hills.
		The upland nature of Charnwood produces clear, fast-flowing streams that support an abundance of wildlife including nationally rare animals such as the freshwater crayfish and brook lamprey, and the three large reservoirs in the Natural Area and their associated wetland habitats are important sites for breeding and wintering wildfowl.

	Charnwood Borough Council - Foreword
		The Borough of Charnwood lies close to the heart of the East Midlands region, extending over 280 square kilometres (108 square miles) of northern Leicestershire.

		To the north and east, the Borough is characterised by the open rolling countryside of the Leicestershire Wolds which fall gently towards the river valleys affording extensive views over a typically English patchwork quilt of fields and hedgerows.
