  • Dialect Words from North Somerset
    YYCCCCCCAARRTT The future of the past T DIALECT WORDS FROM NORTH SOMERSET July 2015 version 2 Author: Vince Russett Yatton, Congresbury, Claverham and Cleeve Archaeological Research Team Place and Feature Names in Somerset Dialect, Occasionally Used in YCCCART Reports This article is dedicated to the memory of my father, Des Russett (1930-2014), who inspired in me not only a deep and abiding love of the countryside, but also a continuous curiosity about the world and the universe. Abstract The point has been (well) made that occasional West Country dialect terms find their way into YCCCART reports (it can sometimes be difficult to entirely remove oneself from one's roots!). This glossary will try to convey some of the meanings. Many of the words are still in common use, and like most Old English terms (and the occasional Old Cornish ones), they have nuances of meaning that are probably unappreciated outside of agricultural circles. Many of the terms also give rise to place-names. Some plant names are included, but I have shied away from the complex (and potentially dangerous) field of fungi. These terms occur infrequently and in context, and thus this article will almost certainly be updated from time to time. SE = Standard English Obs = obsolete Acknowledgements This report has been assembled with the (unwitting) knowledge of many farmers in the Northmarsh (a substantial proportion of whom I seem to have been at school with!) and beyond. Particular help was also given by current and former staff of the Somerset Record Office, Dr Michael Costen, the late Mr Keith Gardner, the late Mr Brian Olsen and others too numerous to name, but to whom I am eternally grateful for my personal context in West Country society.

  • River Axe Biomass of Fish (All Species) 1991 Biomass (Gms/Square Metre) Iue 1 Figure
    NRA/SLFAC/92/14 FISHERY SURVEY OF THE RIVER AXE CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION This fishery survey of the River Axe was started in April 1991 and concluded in October 1991. The watercourses surveyed were the River Axe itself together with its major tributaries, namely the River Cheddar Yeo and the Hixham Rhyne. 2. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 The headwaters of the River Axe are actually on top of Mendip and enter swallet holes. The recognised source of the river is Wookey Hole, which is one of the main springs arising from the Mendip limestone. The river falls progressively for the first 2 kilometres and then divides artificially into two branches. The most southerly, known as the Lower River Axe is in fact higher following the contour line through several villages and historically feeding several mills with water. Burcott Mill has been restored and still functions as a water mill. The northerly branch runs through Wookey and creates two fords before reuniting with the southerly branch at the top of Vestbury Moor. 2.2 The Axe valley part of the Somerset Moors and Levels is underlain primarily by alluvial clay of freshwater, marine and brackish origin. Where the river crosses this alluvial valley it has been straightened and widened since 1800. In the early 19th century there was a major scheme which cut off numerous meanders. The Cheddar Yeo was also realigned at the same time. These alterations were so dramatic that what are now the lowest reaches of the Yeo were once part of the course of the Axe.

  • Keeching Notice.Rpt
    NORTH SOMERSET LEVELS INTERNAL DRAINAGE BOARD LAND DRAINAGE ACT 1991 NOTICE TO FARMERS AND RIPARIAN OWNERS Farmers and landowners with land adjoining the following ‘Viewed Rhyne’ watercourses are advised that the 2019 Flood Defence aquatic weed-cutting operations will take place broadly in accordance with the following programme. Flailing of watercourse banks will normally be necessary and this may take place several days before the weed-cutting work. All works will be undertaken in accordance with the Board’s Conservation Policy and Best Practice Guidelines. Riparian owners are reminded that in accordance with the Board’s Byelaws (2011) a 9-metre wide strip of land from the top of the bank should be kept clear for access and maintenance purposes. This particularly applies where land has been sub-divided to form small ‘pony paddocks’. The Board has legal right of entry, whilst efforts are made to minimise damage to crops it may not be possible to interrupt or delay the programme to avoid harvesting operations, as the Board’s contractor follows well-established operational routes for maximum efficiency. Variance on the dates stated below may occur depending on adverse weather and ground conditions.

  • Hydrochemical Studies in Swildon's Hole, Priddy, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2007, 24 (2), 121-175 HYDROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SWILDON’S HOLE, PRIDDY, SOMERSET By R.D. STENNER, D. COOKE, K. GLENTON, A.V. KNIGHTS, M. MacDONALD, F.L. STENNER, L. WILLIAMS, and J. WILLIAMS ABSTRACT A detailed and comprehensive study was made of the hydrochemical properties of the streams flowing through Swildon’s Hole in 1999 and 2000 with additional data being collected in 2002 to permit the inclusion of data from a “normal” dry summer. Measurements were made and water samples were collected in the cave and from the surface streams feeding it. The aim was to measure the concentrations of all ionic species present in the samples in significant levels (accuracy and precision being checked by calculating ion balances). For each sampling trip in the cave it was possible to calculate progressive increments of total hardness and discharge as the stream flowed through the cave. These increments took place as water from the various stream inlets joined the Main Stream. Seasonal changes were assessed in the characteristics of many of the “drip and trickle” inlets. Although many properties showed low variability, data for aggressiveness were particularly instructive. In most inlets beyond Rolling Thunder, pronounced seasonal changes of aggressiveness were found. These changes were consistent with independent observations concerning levels of carbon dioxide in the air in the cave. In addition, all of the inlets beyond Rolling Thunder are contaminated with nitrate, chloride, sodium and potassium, strongly indicating the presence of contamination by human or animal waste. At the six inlets beyond Rolling Thunder as far as Sump I, the presence of faecal bacteria was confirmed.

  • Yatton Yesterday No. 8 1991
    YATTON E S T E R D A Y No: 8 ~ 1991 Yatton Local History Society Editorial Our front cover for 1991 depicts the Methodist Church in Yatton. Since we now have our bi-monthly meetings in the church hall, and have been made very welcome, we thought we would make this small tribute. As always, we are indebted to John Scally for the art work. Bob Young, though still a member, asked to be relieved of the position of President in which he has served us for four years. His help and advice to me as Chairman have been invaluable,as have his contributions to ‘Yatton Yesterday’; our grateful thanks, Bob. ‘A History of Yatton’, compiled by Marian Barraclough from research by Society members, is another milestone in the Society’s programme. Whilst not imposing on ‘Yatton Yesterday’, it provides a superb background to our individual researches. Books 1, 2 and 7 of ‘Yatton Yesterday’ have completely sold out; copies are available of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our venture for 1992 will be to video the main events in the village during the year. Plans are at an early stage yet, but it is hoped to record Yatton’s history for posterity. Anyone interested in helping with this project please contact the Society. Our thanks are due once more to the local newsagents and Claverham Post Office for distributing ‘Yatton Yesterday’ free of charge. They have done this generously for seven years, and promise to help with this edition. Contributors from outside the Society continue to help us – our thanks to them.
