Introduction Regional Context Asset Inventory Risk Review Implications References About this compendium The counties of Norfolk and Suffolk have stewardship of a wealth of natural assets. The purpose of this Evidence Compendium is to present information about these assets and the potential risks to them, to provide an element of the preparatory work that will feed into a Norfolk & Suffolk 25 Year Environment Plan. Where possible, data is provided by county and also for five important natural areas within them: the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Suffolk Coasts & Heaths AONB, plus The Broads National Park, The Brecks and the Dedham Vale AONB. (These are termed ‘key natural areas’ throughout this compendium). The Introduction section outlines the scope of the work and the approach taken. This is followed with background information regarding the environmental and socio-economic setting of the two counties to provide some Regional Context. A key part of the work is a Natural Asset Inventory for Norfolk and Suffolk which is presented in six sections - Land Soil & Sub-Surface Habitats & Species Freshwater Coast & Marine Atmosphere This is followed by an examination of the current and future risks to these assets, presented in a Risk Review, with a synthesis of the Implications and outline of Priorities and next steps for the proposed Norfolk & Suffolk 25 Year Environment Plan.

    Private Arthur Phillip FLUNDER Service Number: 16708 11th Battalion (Cambridge Pals) The Suffolk Regiment Died 1st July 1916 Commemorated on Thiepval Memorial Pier and face 1C and 2A WW1 Centenary record of an Unknown Soldier Recruitment – 11th Battalion Suffolk Regiment – Suffolks/Cambs – (Cambridge Pals) Private Arthur FLUNDER was a member of the 11th Suffolks, which was a service battalion known as the Cambs/Suffolks or Cambridge Pals. At the outbreak of the war, men of the County enlisting for Infantry were sent to the Suffolk Regiment Depot at Bury St Edmunds. This soon became overcrowded and a relief camp was formed in Cambridge. Battle of the Somme The plan was for the British forces to attack on a fourteen-mile front after an intense week-long artillery bombardment of the German positions. Over 1.6 million shells were fired, 70 for every one metre of front, the idea being to decimate the German Front Line. Two minutes before zero-hour, 19 mines were exploded under the German lines. Whistles sounded and the troops went over the top at 7.30am. They advanced in lines at a slow, steady pace across No Man's Land towards then German front line. Objective 9 – La Boisselle – The Somme - See fig 1. Attack on La Boisselle Private Arthur FLUNDER and the 11th Suffolks were assigned Objective 9, an attack on the village of La Boisselle. The village of La Boisselle was of huge strategic importance as it would open up the road to Bapaume. This would allow the Allies to attack Poziers, the next town further up the road then from there, Thiepval.

First raised as the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Regiment of Foot in 1756, it was reconstituted as a regiment in its own right in 1758 as the 63rd Regiment of Foot. From 1782-1881 it was known as the 63rd (West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot. During the 1820s the regiment was mainly stationed in Ireland, Portugal and England. A decision was made to transfer the regiment to Australia and advance contingents were sent out during 1828 and 1829. The Headquarter Company arrived in Sydney on 18 February 1830 and after landing its convict charges it sailed onto Tasmania where it was joined by the remainder of the regiment during the following month. Five Companies of the regiment embarked from Hobart in February 1833 for Madras, India and others sailed the following month. Records Used The original records dealing with the regiment are held in the War Office series at the National Archives (TNA) in Kew, England.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SUFFOLK REGIMENT ASSOCIATION Records, 1972-74 Reel M973 Suffolk Regiment Association The Keep Gibraltar Barracks Bury St Edmunds Suffolk IP33 3RN National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 HISTORICAL NOTE The Suffolk Regiment was raised by the Duke of Norfolk in 1685 to combat the Monmouth Rebellion and comprised men from the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Originally known as the Duke of Norfolk’s Regiment of Foot, it was renamed the 12th Regiment of Foot in 1751. In 1782 it was called the 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment of Foot and in 1880 it became the 12th (Suffolk) Regiment. It saw action in Ireland (1689-91) and in Europe in the War of Austrian Succession (1742-45) and the Seven Years War (1758-62). During the Napoleonic Wars it served in the West Indies, India and Mauritius. In 1854 the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment sailed to Australia, where it was based at Sydney. Shortly after its arrival, a detachment was sent to Port Phillip and it took part in the fighting at the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat on 3 December 1854. During their time in Australia, soldiers of the 12th Regiment often acted as convict guards.
