Introduction 1.1. Reigate & Banstead is a distinctive borough. It contains three main geological areas which historically have provided contrasting building materials together with a range of tree and shrub types, leading to its varied landscape character. The borough also fringes London, resulting in grand homes built in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for city businessmen; and stretches right down to the Sussex border. 1.2. The character and local distinctiveness of Reigate & Banstead is part of what makes the borough special. The borough has distinctive town centres, landscapes, parks, historic buildings, character areas, conservation areas, open spaces and listed buildings which all play an important role in defining the local sense of place, character and distinctiveness. 1.3. At a time when there is demand nationally for additional housing, it is important to ensure that development addresses the local character and distinctiveness of its surroundings in relation to its immediate vicinity and also the broad locality within which it is located, taking into consideration local topography and accessibility to local services. Although this SPD is directed at residential and mixed use developments, it is also applicable when designing commercial developments, particularly in terms of the use of local building materials and native trees and shrubs in landscaping. As highlighted in Figure 1 below, to ensure good standards of design, this Supplementary Planning Document (SPD ) has been produced to assist: • Landowners, developers and agents considering potential development proposals; • Householders considering residential conversions, alterations and extensions; • Designers drawing up schemes; • Developments Management Officers assessing the suitability of proposals when determining applications; and 5 • Town and Parish Councils and residents commenting on planning applications Figure 1: Intended users (source: Arun Design Guide 2020) Status 1.4. The SPD does not form part of the development plan and does not introduce new policy, but instead provides detailed guidance to accompany the policies in the Council’s Local Plan. Upon adoption, it is capable of being a

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.

  • T He H Eraldand G Enealogist
    A BIBILOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF THE THREE EDITIONS OF WATSON’S MEMOIRS OF THE ANCIENT EARLS OF WARREN AND SURREY. _______________ BY JOHN GOUGH NICHOLS, F.S.A. ______________ [Extracted from THE HERALD AND GENEALOGIST.] 1871. WATSON’S EARLS OF WARREN AND SURRY. 193 One of the most remarkable genealogical works produced in England during the last century, both for the purpose and intent of its production and the labor and sumptuousness of its execution, is Watson’s History of the Earls of Warren and Surrey. It is embellished with every illustration, armorial, monumental, and topographical, of which the subject was capable: and further decorated with countless number of ornamental initials and vignettes (generally arabesques of considerable elegance) all impressed from copper plates. The detached engravings, more than fifty in number, are described in the full account which Moule gives of the book in his Bibliotheca Heraldica. pp. 441-445; but it is impossible to estimate the cost which must have been expended on so sumptuous a work. The author, the Rev. John Watson, M.A., F.S.A. had published a History of Halifax (4to. 1775) in which (pp. 523-525) he has given minute details of his own biography down to that period. He was born in 1724 at Lyme cum Hanley, in the parish of Prestbury, Cheshire 1; was elected a Cheshire Fellow of Brazenose 1746; became Perpetual Curate of Ripponden in the parish of Halifax 1754; F.S.A. 1759; Rector of Mouingsby, co. Lincoln, 1766; and Rector of Stockport on the presentation of Sir George Warren, K.B.

Our finances remain healthy, with our reserves able to withstand the cost of large, non-regular repair and maintenance work, and the costs of improvements to the Estate, Village Hall and Leisure Centre. Such costs are not met from budgeted service charge income. Examples of the projects that are or have been financed from our reserves this year are the flooring works to the village hall, the poolside columns, the pathways to the leisure centre and an upgrade to the village hall CCTV system. We also have, as ongoing works, improving the hard standing areas outside the village hall, refurbishment of the cricket pavilion, the lighting on the Hooley footpath and an upgrade to the weights area. In total, the total cost of these various projects will be around £70,000; if we did not have reserves then it would have meant this year’s service charges would have been some 20% higher.

  • A Nevill Effigy in the Parish Church of St Lawrence, Mereworth, Kent
    A Pied Bull: A Nevill Effigy in the Parish Church of St Lawrence, Mereworth, Kent MARCUS HERBERT THE FOLLOWING STUDY sets out to examine the history of an effigy of an armoured man in the church at Mereworth dating from the early Tudor period. It is generally held that the individual commemorated by the figure belonged to a cadet branch of the Nevill family of Westmorland. The reasons for this belief are explained together with a reappraisal of the dating evidence and an examination of the candidates. Introduction Around 1742 John Fane seventh Earl of Westmorland petitioned Joseph Wilcocks, Bishop of Rochester for a faculty to demolish the old parish church of St Lawrence at Mereworth and build another a bit further away.' The bishop had his commis- sioners examine both the old church and the plans for the new stating that 'the said parish church of Mereworth is an antient building and is decaying and that the situation of it is most inconvenient being near the bounds of the parish on one side, and that the greater number of the parishioners dwell at a great distance from it, and that the said Earle is desirous to pull down the said old parish church of Mereworth and to build a new one in a more convenient place and make a new church yard and assure the ground to the said parish forever at his own proper costs and charges'. Following the commissioners' report the bishop concluded that as 'no detriment, inconvenience or disadvantage' would be suffered by the minis- ter, parishioners or inhabitants, notice should be given in the church of the earl's intentions and inform those present that 'there will be as sufficient and more con- venient room in the new church than there is now in the old'.2 Fane's apparent concern for the parishioners was in reality a thinly veiled excuse to get rid of a building which spoilt his view and which was the final phase in his redevelopment For Jack Lowe, Samuel Lowe and Ellie Wilson.

  • Bethlem Papers; on the Inside of Outsider
    BETHLEM PAPERS On the Inside of Outsider Art Structure by Mr X (photo Josip Lizatovic) 'On the Inside of Outsider Art’, was an event that took place as part of the Bethlem Salon Series. The series brings together artists, academics and clinicians to discuss themes that offer a unique insight into art production on the site of the psychiatric hospital. Recent major events in the mainstream artworld have demonstrated a resurgence of interest in ‘outsider’ art. The participants in the Salon approached the subject from a number of different perspectives, from art history and cultural theory to art and clinical practice. Contributors to the Paper: Sue Morgan, artist David O’Flynn, consultant psychiatrist and Chair of the Adamson Trust Michaela Ross, art co-ordinator, Bethlem Royal Hospital SUE MORGAN cartographer of mental illness why am i here? because i am mad, and i make stuff that can be seen which makes me, i suppose, an outsider artist but i don't think of myself as an artist it is more that i make footnotes. footnotes to a blank text the blank text is the stuff i don't understand, which is pretty much everything am i an OUTSIDER artist? well, maybe it seems to me to be about intention. when i started drawing in hospitals, it was primarily to try to record what was going on in my head satan's babies were in my kidneys, they were crawling up my spinal cord, spewing out of my eyeballs, and i thought i was infecting the entirety of humanity with evil i was also depressed, apparently so what i was doing was trying to express mental content

  • Picturesque England.Pdf
    1 2 3 t would require much more than a single volume to describe all the picturesque spots in our native land. But as far as space permitted, we believe we have given descrip- tions of all those places in England - whether towns, castles, manors, forests, lakes, or mountains - that are especially remarkable or that have either historical memories or poetic and romantic legend and lay associated with them. Nearly every rood of ground in our country has some glorious or pathetic mem- ory attached to it; its battlefields, its scenes of tragic events, or of happier associations, unite in giving a subtile charm to the land ”set in the silver sea.” In order to give a fair picture of our country, we have sought for the picturesque in each of its forty counties; devoting generally three articles to each; but of course increasing the number of descriptions in those counties that have the greatest claim on our attention from their scenery or associations. The southern counties possess many beauties: a charming coastline, and fertile and lovely pastures. In Wiltshire are those unique and ancient memorials of the past - Stonehenge and Abury; Hampshire has its old forest famed in history, and its adjoin- ing ”isle of beauty,” the Wight; and all possess ruins of fine old castles and abbeys, and two of our finest cathedrals - Canterbury and Winchester. The shires round London are well called the Home Counties, for there is a great home charm in their quiet pastures and well-wooded lands; while in the very centre of our country our greatest poet was born, in lovely Warwickshire.
