These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

    Baptist Churches in the Bedford Area (Continued)

    Baptist Churches in the Bedford Area (Concluded) SANDY BAPTIST Dr. John Brown says that in 1676 Sandy had 600 inhabitants and twenty-two Nonconformist members. These were, apparently, members at Bedford and worshipped at Blunham. In 1756 John Berridge began to preach the gospel at Everton, near Sandy, and ~ohn Skilleter, of Sandy, with his wife and sons, were among the converts. Berridge died in 1793, and the Skilleter family joined Blunham Baptist in 1794, Jeremy Skilleter building a small chapel there in 1797. In 1826 or 1827 some withdrew and built a chapel for High Calvinistic preaching, but were not able to pay for the building. John Foster of Biggleswade bought it, and Sandy Baptist used it for evening services instead of Jeremy Skilleter's smaller building. In 1854 a third chapel was built on the site of the second at a cost of about £800 of which William Skilleter gave £400. In 1858 C. H. Spurgeon preached twice in the open air, and the collections cleared the debt. A fourth chapel, to seat 450, was opened in 1888, and a new school room in 1929, and the 1854 building was sold. In 1864, William Skilleter presented a manse for the Pastor's residence. SHARNBROOK OLD BAPTIST The church was formed in 1719, and ~he Church Book begins then, with a Covenant. The church declared for Open Member­ ship: "if any Person have Light into Baptism they shall have it administered unto them. And if not that Light, to receive them as Saints." There was to be no sprinkling of infants, and they would hold Communion with all when they judged faithful.
