  • Rare Plant Register

    Rare Plant Register

    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
  • Environmental Activism, Environmental Politics, and Representation: the Framing of the British Environmental Activist Movement

    Environmental Activism, Environmental Politics, and Representation: the Framing of the British Environmental Activist Movement

    ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM, ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS, AND REPRESENTATION: THE FRAMING OF THE BRITISH ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST MOVEMENT Maxine Newlands Ph.D. 2013 i Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between environmental activism, environmental politics and the mainstream media. In exploring the power relations between government, activists and the media, this work draws on Foucauldian theories of governmentality, power and space (heterotopia). The central hypothesis is that environmental politics has witnessed a shift in power away from activism and towards environmental governance and free-market economics, nestled in a media discourse that has depoliticised many environmental activist movements. Foucault’s theories on power, biopower and governmentality are combined with a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of newspaper reports and original empirical research derived from a focus group with environmental activists. The empirical data and analysis provides original knowledge on relations between environmental activists and journalists. The premise that economics has become the dominant solution to the detriment of environmental activism movements is argued through a historical analysis of advanced liberal governments’ role in creating new green markets and instruments (‘green governmentality’ in Luke’s terms). The shift towards green governmentality has been accompanied by an increased application of state measures, from legislation and surveillance, to conflating environmental activism with terrorism, and the neologism of eco-terrorism. Journalists reaffirm such governance, and the critical discourse analysis charts the shift from positive to negative reporting in the mainstream media. However, activists also contest such power relations through social and new media, alongside traditional repertoires of protest within the space of activism, to challenge such advanced liberal discourse, and bypass traditional media practices.

    point your feet on a new path Donnington Castle, Bagnor, Winterbourne Distance: 12 km=7½ miles easy walking Region: Berkshire Date written: 3-aug-2014 Author: MacMeadow Last update: 23-jan-2020 Refreshments: Bagnor, Winterbourne?? Map: Explorer 158 (Newbury) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Nature reserve, heath, woodland, castle, villages, rivers, views In Brief This walk just north of Newbury offers great variety within such a modest distance. The medieval castle (with free entry) is a real surprise if you don’t know the area. Two villages are visited, both a picture and both with a characterful pub (to enquire at the Blackbird , ring 01635-40638; to enquire at the Winterbourne Arms , ring 01635-248200.) The Winterbourne Arms has been closed during 2017 and 2018: it's vital to ring before you go. The Blackbird in Bagnor, by contrast, has a new head chef with “ambitious plans” (but still ring!). There are some nettles and brambles, mostly bordering the paths and avoidable, but you might brush against some unseen, so long trousers are necessary. The terrain is fairly firm with tarmac or gravel paths, so good walking shoes or trainers are adequate, except in the winter months when you will be glad of hiking boots. The stiles generally have a gap for a dog if you want to bring him along.

  • Late Medieval Berkshire

    Late Medieval Berkshire

    Medieval Berkshire, c. 1000-1600 Grenville Astill, October 2006 This review of existing information is designed to emphasise what is distinctive about the county, and how that information could contribute to some national themes of enquiry. It is usual to divide the county into three areas which are essentially geologically determined: the river valley systems of the Thames, Kennet and their tributaries, the London clays and the Bagshot and Bracklesham Beds which dominate most of the eastern half of the county, and the Berkshire Downs to the west. These divisions have important cultural implications which are normally seen in the variations of landuse and settlement. However, there are important underlying tenurial structures that reinforce these regions. For example, Domesday shows the unparalleled amount of royal property in the county (and later reflected in the predominance of royal parks) which appeared to exclude the presence of major lay and ecclesiastical lords, and to a certain extent maintained the pattern of the later tenth and eleventh centuries. Berkshire lacked a major baronial presence, a diocesan centre and had only one monastic precinct at Abingdon. This is unusual for the south and would have influenced the development of the overall medieval settlement and landuse. Domesday also shows that Windsor Forest was already in existence and extended over the majority of the country (remaining until 1225). It also demonstrates William I’s high degree of control over the woodland resources within the forest area, including putting lands which did not belong to him ‘in foresta’. In short, the county appears to have had a high royal involvement, with a comparatively low seigneurial and religious influence, all of which added to the distinctiveness of the county’s landscape.
