  • Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

  • Roman Isle of Wight
    ROMAN WIGHT By Malcolm Lyne September 2006 1. A history of previous research Most of the early antiquarian research into Roman Wight, as in other parts of Britain, related to the excavation of villa houses. The earliest such excavation was that at Rock,Brighstone in 1831 (Kell 1856), followed by those at Carisbrooke (Spickernell 1859), Gurnard (Kell 1866) and Brading during the 1880s (Price and Price 1881 and 1900). Other villa sites were noted at Combley and Clatterford during the same period (Kell 1856). The published accounts of most of these excavations are somewhat deficient but, in the case of Gurnard, are supplemented by unpublished manuscript notes of further excavations carried out after publication of the earlier work in 1866. Just a few of the artefacts found at Carisbrooke and Gurnard still survive. The one exception to this sorry tale is Brading: the published accounts of the excavations carried out by Captain Thorp and the Price brothers is more informative than most for this period and most of the pottery and other finds are still extant. Other 19 th c. observations on the Island’s Roman archaeology are largely restricted to brief accounts of coin hoards from Farringford, Wroxall and Cliff Copse, Shanklin written up by Kell (1863). A further hoard found at Wootton in 1833 had to wait for more than 100 years before a reasonably-detailed account was produced (Sydenham 1943). The early years of the 20 th century saw little improvement in the quality of atchaeological activity relating to Roman Wight. Poorly-recorded excavations at Combley villa in 1910 (Sydenham 1945, 426-29) were, however, soon followed by the activities of Ambrose Sherwin as curator of Carisbrooke Castle museum during the 1920s and 30s.
