South Coast Plain Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

  • The Horse Butchery Site: a High-Resolution Record of Lower Palaeolithic Hominin Behaviour at Boxgrove, Uk by (Eds) M I Pope, S a Parfitt and M B Roberts
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews THE HORSE BUTCHERY SITE: A HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORD OF LOWER PALAEOLITHIC HOMININ BEHAVIOUR AT BOXGROVE, UK BY (EDS) M I POPE, S A PARFITT AND M B ROBERTS SpoilHeap Publications, University College London, 2020. 157pp, 162 figures (of which 92 photographic plates), and 18 tables, pb, ISBN 978-1-912331-15-4, £25.00 The Boxgrove project burst into vibrant life in the early 1980s, challenging and antagonising the academic archaeological establishment in equal measure, its student leader inspired by, and part of, the contemporary punk milieu and its assault on the wider establishment. I don’t recall corduroys, but there were definitely bovver boots and braces as the shaven-headed Mark Roberts held forth in packed lecture halls, providing overwhelming proof that the history of Britain’s earliest human occupation needed substantial revision, and revealing the remarkable details of the substantial landscape of early Palaeolithic occupation preserved at the Boxgrove quarry complex; it was London (Institute of Archaeology) calling. However it wasn’t just the style, it was also the substance. Boxgrove overturned everything. Here was irrefutable evidence of human presence in Britain before the Anglian glaciation, 500,000 years ago in the interglacial period MIS 13; and not just a few suitably-crude lithic implements, but a prolific industry of large, symmetric and aesthetic ovate handaxes with sophisticated features such as tranchet sharpening. And, beyond the technical details of dating and typology, the behavioural evidence from the Boxgrove landscape challenged widely-held views that these early hominins were simpletons living in a mental world with a 15-minute time-depth, responding expediently to the appearance of a carcass or an injured animal, desperately casting around for a rock to chip, or hurl.

  • THE PARISHES of St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: the Reverend Canon Moira Wickens
    THE PARISHES OF St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: The Reverend Canon Moira Wickens We Will Remember Them On the eleventh day of this eleventh month there will be special services in both our churches, to mark the 100th anniversary of the ending of the first world war. We will be joining our prayers and thoughts with countless others across the world, and you are invited to join us. At 8.00am there will be a short service at St. Mary's Church Apuldram, and then at 10.30am at Fishbourne, with the act of Remembrance taking place at the eleventh hour. If you pop into either of the churches you will see the 'silent soldiers', almost invisible figures representing those from our parishes who gave their lives for our freedom. These figures may unnerve you, for they are there, but not there, and yet they remind us all not only of those who served our country during the great wars, but also those who have been in conflicts since. We will remember those who serve in the armed forces to this day, and all those who have survived. We will also remember the great acts of service that were carried out by so many women who not only supported the men, but who also kept our country going during those terrible years. During both our services we will listen to special readings, 'The Soldier', and 'Flanders Fields', wreathes will be laid, and the names of the men from our communities who are on the memorial plaques inside the churches, will be read out.

  • Manhood Peninsula
    Overall Character THE WEST SUSSEX LANDSCAPE Land Management Guidelines This Character Area lies in the south west of the county, to the south of Chichester, between the harbours of Chichester and Pagham. A large part of this area has been reclaimed from the sea, and remains below the current high spring tide level. It is mainly flat open landscape, dominated by highly productive large arable fields and modern farm buildings and characterised by a decline in tree and hedgerow cover and loss of grassland habitats. Habitation is predominantly in scattered small traditional settlements and larger suburban villages. Areas of unimproved grassland still exist along the edges of streams and rifes which are often immediately bordered by reed beds. Sheet SC2 In contrast, some parts have a patchwork of smaller enclosed pastures and horse paddocks which have a more intimate character. Parkland tree belts remaining from former estates are an occasional feature and there are significant clusters of glasshouses in the Sidlesham area. Manhood Key Characteristics G Large scale arable farming with large, often hedgeless fields. G Mainly low-lying flat landform. G Extensive farms with both traditional and modern farm buildings and silos. Peninsula G Pockets of small enclosed pasture fields and horse paddocks. G Industry in the countryside mainly associated with horticulture, resulting in large expanses of South Coast Plain G Linear villages. glasshouses. G G Narrow, right-angled or winding lanes. Scattered vernacular villages with mixed building materials, often flint, brick, half timber and stone, often with sprawling modern fringes. G Occasional views from the land of the water, or of yacht masts.
