1/12September2019……………………………………………………Chairman MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING OF NEWTON & NOSS PARISH COUNCIL Held on 12 September 2019 PRESENT; MR. PARRY-SMITH MS. ADAMS MR. CARTER MR. ROGERS MR. TUBB DR. HARDY MRS PHILLIPSON MR. THOMAS MR. STEGGLES ALSO, PRESENT; Cllr. Hosking, Cllr. Thomas, 2 members of the public, Mrs. McDonough (Clerk). OPEN FORUM Court Wood – a representative from the River Yealm & District Association (RYDA) gave a brief outline of plans to buy three acres of Court Wood owned by the late Mr. Francis Bennett formerly of Menryn, Court Wood. The separate parcel of woodland had been due to go up for auction in September. There had been concerns expressed that the woodland could be bought by a private owner with subsequent development and potential access issues. The current owners of the land agreed to sell the land to the community for £18,000. The Woodland Trust were not in a position to act immediately. The RYDA was approached to act as the purchaser with the potential for the land to be transferred subsequently to the Woodland Trust. The RYDA planned to manage the land in a similar way to Brookings Down Wood and Eastern Hill. Fund raising stood at £15,000 with a further £2000 in the pipeline and a grant application in with Yealm Community Energy (YCE). There was a possible funding requirement by YCE for a body to “vouch” for the RYDA in respect of which the Parish Council had been approached. It was hoped the purchase could complete this month. Part of the purchase price would be eligible for Gift Aid which would leave £4000 in a “pot” to open up pathways.

May suggested the Parish Council make a contribution of £1500 - for March 2020 (after it re-opened after winter) and then for the financial year to 31 March 2021. This would be an interim measure pending a review of maintenance costs figures provided by SHDC and designation of Newton & Noss as a tourist area. The proposal would enable the Parish Council to precept for the additional costs of spring/summer opening 2020. The public conveniences in Newton & Noss would close for the winter- Cllr. May noted that the Parish had asked that this be put back to the end of October to allow for the South Hams Arts Trail.

He had not been able to confirm when the temporary speeding signs would be in place on the rota system for the parish. Mr. Colton had been advised of another road traffic accident at Butts park. It was not known whether the police had been involved. A parishioner had raised concerns about speeding and inconsiderate driving by both local drivers and holiday makers in the lanes around the parish. Yealm Road parking survey - it was understood survey forms had been sent out. A parishioner had contacted the Parish Council suggesting reinstatement of no overnight parking between the old Lifeboat House and the former International Paints building. Members who had been on the Parish Council at that time suggested that the sign had been advisory and not enforceable. Devon County Council's Highway Service Parish & Town Council Conference - no members were available to attend.

    ‘A Master in the Art’: Harry Hems and St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon by Sue Andrew Extracted with permission from Ecclesiology Today Issues 55 & 56 2017, published May 2018 ‘A Master in the Art’: Harry Hems and St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon Sue Andrew SCULPTOR AND CARVER Harry Hems (1842–1916) Having spent many years gazing established the highly-prolific and internationally-renowned upward at medieval roof bosses, Sue Andrew has come to appreciate Ecclesiastical Art Works in Exeter in the late nineteenth century, carvings at lower level and later date, yet he has been comparatively little studied. In part this may be especially the late nineteenth- and because the archive of original documents from his business was early twentieth-century work of Harry almost certainly destroyed when his sons retired in 1938,1 but Hems of Exeter. letters from Hems to a patron concerning the furnishing and decoration of one particular church built in 1880–82 – St Peter’s Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon – do survive.2 These letters, together with the rich and varied carvings at the church, and contemporary photographs of the work taken at Hems’s studios, afford us a rare and fascinating glimpse of the man and his methods (Fig. 1). Carving a career – the early years of Harry Hems Hems was born in Islington, and seemed destined to spend his working life in the cutlery business, his mother’s family being the Wostenholms, owners of a firm of highly successful cutlers based in Sheffield. An apprenticeship with the firm did not suit, however, although Hems did adopt as his personal motto the firm’s trademark: I.X.L.

  • South Hams District Council Submission on Draft Warding Arrangements
    South Hams District Council Submission on Draft Warding Arrangements At its meeting on 9 May 2013, South Hams District Council considered a report which sought to make a recommendation to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on alternative warding arrangements for the Council. Having considered the agenda item, the Council subsequently resolved that:- 1. both Option A (Cllr Hicks’ Submission) and Option C (Cllr Pannell’s Submission No. 2) be submitted to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for consideration during their deliberations for a preferred new pattern of warding arrangements; and 2. based upon this decision, delegated authority be granted to the Head of Corporate Services, in consultation with the Leader of Council, to prepare the Council’s submission to the LGBCE before the deadline of Tuesday, 4 June 2013. Please note that for the purposes of this paper, ‘Option A (Cllr Hicks’ Submission)’ is attached at Appendix A and ‘Option C (Cllr Pannell’s Submission)’ is attached at Appendix B. In reaching this decision, it is important to note that the Council has not indicated any preference for either of these Options. As a consequence, the LGBCE is asked to give equal weighting to these Options during its deliberations. In view of the timescales involved and the democratic process necessary for making council decisions, coupled with the fact that the Council has decided to put two Options forward, it has not been possible to produce a particularly detailed submission which outlines some suggested ward names. In both Options, the main towns in the South Hams have been shown as a total electorate with a number of required Councillors.
