  • The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A Growing, Joy-Filled Christian Presence at the Heart of Our Communities'
    The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A growing, joy-filled Christian presence at the heart of our communities' www.dartmouthanddittisham.co.uk The deep, sheltered waters of Dartmouth’s harbour offered destiny; with both hands, its medieval people grasped it. The sea was a thoroughfare for Englishmen setting out on the religious and secular wars of medieval times, and its harbour lent the town national importance. From here, men went off to the three crusades; they went on pilgrimages from here to Santiago de Compostela. Dartmouth an Enchanted Place, Joselin Fiennes, 2013 A Shipman was ther, woninge fer by weste; For ught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe. Chaucer, Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. The place of the church within this beautiful town and charming village is as vibrant and central as it was in the fourteenth century. Image courtesy of Shaunagh Radcliffe 1 ARCHDEACON’S FOREWORD Geographically, the parishes of Dartmouth and Dittisham occupy some of the most strikingly beautiful coastal and river scenery in England. Their ancient maritime and civic traditions give them exceptional historic significance. Britannia Royal Naval College is a prominent feature of Dartmouth in every sense. But it is as diverse communities with a strong desire for the pastoral ministry of the Church of England, with healthy, mission-minded parish churches operating in a classically Anglican tradition of worship and service, that these two parishes offer exceptional opportunities for a gifted priest to make a difference as their next Vicar. He or she will have strong foundations on which to build, in a benefice where leadership and oversight have been offered to a high standard over the past decade.

The scheme enables community consultation to take place and emphasises the links between parish council and the community. The consultation process identifies what the residents want—this can be from small improvements to large scale projects! At this stage it can include some items which are perhaps more of a “wish list”. How- ever from this consultation process more work is still needed on the information that is gathered so that a realistic and feasible action plan (The Parish Plan) can emerge identifying possible part- ners (e.g. councils, primary care trusts, environmental groups), actions and funders who may be able to help in achieving the aims contained within the plan.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.
