  • Landscape Character Assessment Supplementary Planning Guidance
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Supplementary Planning Guidance 2004 Updated 2009 Landscape Character Assessment ~ SPG 2004 ~ updated 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Herefordshire’s Landscape Character Assessment was researched, co-ordinated, written and updated by Jane Patton, my predecessor, during the period 1999 – 2006. She received invaluable support, encouragement and practical help from a number of people, in particular from Chris Bray and Kay Adams of Worcestershire County Council. Kay Adams and Jonathan Porter (Countryscape consultancy) undertook the initial survey work for Herefordshire, while Bill Jackson (Estate Agent), provided them with offi ce accommodation in Leominster. Steven Warnock, the regional consultant for the production of Landscape Character Assessments, provided expert advice. Advice and encouragement also came from other Local Authorities with whom he was working, notably Dr. Stephen Potter in Staffordshire, Jerry Birbeck in Warwickshire and Rob Pinsent from Shropshire. Dr. Delia Hooke provided much of the initial historical/cultural survey information and analysis, while Paul White from Herefordshire Archaeology later gave valuable insights from his Historic Landscape Characterisation. Penny Oliver of the CPRE (Council for the Protection of Rural England) provided extra data and analysis, particularly regarding woodland cover. Dr. Peter Oliver from the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust checked and re-wrote the geological and soil entries. Anthea Bryan from the Herefordshire Nature Trust provided data and Geoff Gwatkin supplied copies of the county tithe maps. Bridgit Symons, (working for Countryscape consultancy at the time, and who is currently Planning Ecologist for Herefordshire Council), did the ecological fi eldwork required and provided ecological data and analysis. Steve Dring and Gill Eyre undertook the site visits needed to verify information in the Landscape Character Assessment.

  • Provenance and Transfer of Fine Sediment in the Lugg Catchment
    Provenance and Transfer of Fine Sediment in the Lugg Catchment, Herefordshire, UK Jason Paul Stopps A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Natural and Social Sciences July 2018 Word Count 85,999 ABSTRACT An extensive fine sediment research monitoring programme, funded through the SITA Trust’s ‘Enriching Nature’ programme, has been undertaken to evaluate the value of a catchment-wide, monitoring approach to establish spatial and temporal patterns and sources of fine sediment in the Herefordshire Lugg catchment. The aim of the project was to investigate the sources and patterns of fine sediment movement to help target management resources to reduce the impact of excessive siltation. Continuous (15 minute) flow and suspended sediment concentrations were monitored at five sink sites between April 2009 and November 2012 to assess the spatio-temporal variations in suspended sediment. Episodic high suspended sediment concentrations in the Lugg catchment persistently exceeded 25 mg L-1 over the period of study. Delivery of suspended sediments to the sites was also monitored using time-integrated samplers. A sediment fingerprinting and mixture modelling procedure based on geochemical properties was utilised to identify key sub-catchments that persistently delivered fine sediment over the period of study. Sources of fine sediment were also identified and evaluated based on differing land use types in four of the main sub-catchments recognised as important contributors of sediment at the catchment scale. The sediment fingerprinting technique was refined to incorporate appropriate weighting and correction factors to improve the ability of the composite fingerprint to discriminate between source types.

  • The Woolhope and Usk Basins: Silurian Rift Basins Revealed by Subsurface Mapping of the Southern Welsh Borderland
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 154, 1997, pp. 209–223, 10 figs, 2 tables. Printed in Great Britain The Woolhope and Usk Basins: Silurian rift basins revealed by subsurface mapping of the southern Welsh Borderland A. J. BUTLER1, N. H. WOODCOCK1 & D. M. STEWART2 1Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Sovereign Exploration Limited, 60 Grays Inn Road, London WC1X 8AQ, UK Abstract: Subsurface mapping of the southern Welsh Borderland has utilized over 600 km of seismic data and three exploration boreholes to investigate the subsurface of this classic geological area. The survey reveals two Silurian basins, each about 400 km2 in area, in the western part of the Midland Platform. The Woolhope Basin underlies the Silurian inlier of the Woolhope Anticline. The basin fill is bounded to the northwest by faults of the Neath Disturbance, and was also influenced by WNW-striking extensional growth faults. The fill thins eastward towards the Malvern Line. Lower Silurian sequences thin southward before thickening again, particularly across WNW-striking faults. The resulting Usk Basin, underlying the Usk Inlier, has ill-defined margins, but some additional N–S fault control. The Fownhope-1 and Usk-1 wells indicate that rapid subsidence occurred in both basins during Rhuddanian and Aeronian (Early to Mid-Llandovery) time. Modelling of this subsidence, assuming the finite duration lithospheric extension model, yields stretching factors of between 1.3 and 1.6. The later part of the fill to both basins is marine, but red conglomerates, sandstones and mudstones in their Early Llandovery intervals suggest continental fluvial environments in the initial stages of basin development.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. THE Letters of the Lady Brilliana Harley are published from a collection of family papers in the possession of her descendant the Lady Frances Vernon Harcourt, of Brampton Bryan, Herefordshire. The MSS. had been neglected at Eywood, the seat of the Harleys in that county, until within the last few years, when they were rescued from ruin, and arranged by the Lady Frances, to whose charge they were committed by her father, Edward, the fifth Earl of Oxford. It is not improbable, that they were left at Eywood by Edward Har- ley, the Auditor of the Imprest, who resided there, being himself the second son of Sir Edward Harley, to whom most of the Letters are addressed, and to whose piety, no doubt, their preservation is due. It will be remembered, that upon failure of issue male of Robert Harley, the first Earl of Oxford, by the death of his son Edward, the founder of the Harleian Library, the title passed to the son of the auditor his brother, and thence descended to the late Earl, at whose death, whilst these pages are in the press ^January 1853) the title became extinct. The present volume comprises all the Letters in the collection written by the Lady Brilliana, which are printed from transcripts made by the Editor, with scrupulous fidelity to the originals.
