The presence of water has been fundamental to how the landscape of the whole of the Brecks has been settled and developed. The Scheme area has been selected to include the key Fen Edge area, River Corridors and important freshwater areas, and the greatest concentration of heritage assets. The history of settlement and land use means that these assets, with their opportunities and stories are on the doorstep of most of the population, yet despite or perhaps because of this they often remain unacknowledged and overlooked. Conservation effort in The Brecks National Character Area has long-focused on the internationally important heaths and forests, but legacy development work from the Breaking New Ground (BNG) Landscape Partnership Scheme identified significant risks to the heritage of the nearby Fen Edge and River Valleys landscape, with knock-on effects on the wider landscape from changing land-use, pollution, increased abstraction of water for housing and industrial development and intensive agricultural practices. This, coupled with the continuing increase in informal recreation in a landscape with few rights of way, but vast areas of Open Access land, creates an urgent need for a joined-up approach to engaging communities, land managers and key decision makers so that the unique heritage of these landscapes that have been hidden in plain sight, is properly understood, valued and protected. As a result of the BNG legacy work, extensive surveys, research and consultation with local communities, heritage professionals and other stakeholders, a narrative for The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership Scheme has evolved. This led to an agreed set of priorities, an exciting and engaging set of projects, with a sustainable legacy, in line with the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s priorities and outcomes for Landscape Partnerships Schemes. This LCAP focusses on heritage conservation in this landscape within the Brecks that research currently indicates has the most pressing set of threats and issues, through a bespoke set of projects delivered by a partnership with a wide range of expertise. It continues the momentum gained through Breaking New Ground’s work in the heart of The Brecks landscape and delivers aims and objectives for The Brecks Fen-Edge & Rivers LP Scheme that can be sustained into the future. 6 Landscape Conservation Action Plan | The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership MAP OF THE SCHEME AREA 7 Landscape Conservation Action Plan | The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership 8 The Scheme Plan | The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership THE BRECKS FEN EDGE AND RIVERS LANDSCAPE PARTNERSHIP LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN PART 1: THE SCHEME PLAN 9 The Scheme Plan | The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership THE BRECKS FEN EDGE AND RIVERS LANDSCAPE PARTNERSHIP LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN INTRODUCTION 10 The Scheme Plan | The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers Landscape Partnership The Brecks’ Fen Edge & Rivers Landscape Recognising the importance of this watery Partnership Scheme (BFER LPS) is a new landscape in understanding and protecting The Landscape Heritage Scheme for the Norfolk and Brecks heritage was a key legacy of BNG and has Suffolk Brecks which will build upon the legacy of been reinforced by the Freshwater Habitats Trust the Breaking New Ground Landscape Partnership which rated The Brecks as one of Britain’s top Scheme (2013-17)1 to continue to develop and re- landscapes for freshwater wildlife. focus engagement, public awareness and positive Their work confirmed that the area is particularly action on the heritage of The Brecks’ fen edge, significant for its rare and biodiverse chalk river and wetland landscapes in this unique part streams, networks of ancient Pingo ponds and of East Anglia. fluctuating meres.

  • Descendants of William Falke
    Descendants of William Falke Generation 1 1 1. WILLIAM FALKE was born about 1390 in Pr. Worlingham, Suffolk, England. He died between 20 Feb-05 Mar 1455 in Great Worlingham, Suffolk, England. He married AGNES. Notes for William Falke: William Falke of Worlingham, Suffolk, England is the first known ancestor of the line leading to the Fauxes who are found in large numbers in the area between Thetford and Norwich in Norfolk County from the mid 1500s. It is probably unproductive to speculate about earlier generations. The most that can be said is that it is probable that the family originated in the area and simply disappears into the mists of Medieval time. It is tempting to seek continuity back to Norman times. The first recorded instance of the name Falc or variant is in the "Ship Lists" of the Conquest in 1066. Here one finds, in the Wace contemporary list, "e cil qui est siree d'Alnou". This village is Al(u)nou - le - Faucon, on the Orne River south of Caen near Argentan. The first recorded Seigneur here is "Fulk I d'Aunou" (see Elizabeth Van Houts, 'Wace as Historian', in "The History of the Norman People", Glyn S. Burgess (Ed.), 2004, Boydell Press, Woodbridge, Suffolk, p.L). The Domesday Book of 1086 lists only one Falc, an under tennant at Bradford, Suffolk - although there are more individuals with the name Fulk (Falk and Fulk and their derivatives Falkes and Folkes are frequently used for the same individual). The British Archives site also shows 13th Century examples where the name is for example Robert Le Falke (1284), and others where Henry Faulkes is also known as Henry fliius Falcasiis, and Henry FitzFalk (1307).

  • Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements
    Canoe and Kayak Licence Requirements Waterways & Environment Briefing Note On many waterways across the country a licence, day pass or similar is required. It is important all waterways users ensure they stay within the licensing requirements for the waters the use. Waterways licences are a legal requirement, but the funds raised enable navigation authorities to maintain the waterways, improve facilities for paddlers and secure the water environment. We have compiled this guide to give you as much information as possible regarding licensing arrangements around the country. We will endeavour to keep this as up to date as possible, but we always recommend you check the current situation on the waters you paddle. Which waters are covered under the British Canoeing licence agreements? The following waterways are included under British Canoeing’s licensing arrangements with navigation authorities: All Canal & River Trust Waterways - See www.canalrivertrust.org.uk for a list of all waterways managed by Canal & River Trust All Environment Agency managed waterways - Black Sluice Navigation; - River Ancholme; - River Cam (below Bottisham Lock); - River Glen; - River Great Ouse (below Kempston and the flood relief channel between the head sluice lock at Denver and the Tail sluice at Saddlebrow); - River Lark; - River Little Ouse (below Brandon Staunch); - River Medway – below Tonbridge; - River Nene – below Northampton; - River Stour (Suffolk) – below Brundon Mill, Sudbury; - River Thames – Cricklade Bridge to Teddington (including the Jubilee

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

    DAVID TYLDESLEY AND ASSOCIATES PLANNING, LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document Durwyn Liley, Rachel Hoskin, John Underhill-Day & David Tyldesley 1 DRAFT Date: 7th November 2008 Version: Draft Recommended Citation: Liley, D., Hoskin, R., Underhill-Day, J. & Tyldesley, D. (2008). Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document. Footprint Ecology, Wareham, Dorset. Report for Breckland District Council. 2 Summary This document records the results of a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of Breckland District Council’s Core Strategy. The Breckland District lies in an area of considerable importance for nature conservation with a number of European Sites located within and just outside the District. The range of sites, habitats and designations is complex. Taking an area of search of 20km around the District boundary as an initial screening for relevant protected sites the assessment identified five different SPAs, ten different SACs and eight different Ramsar sites. Following on from this initial screening the assessment identifies the following potential adverse effects which are addressed within the appropriate assessment: • Reduction in the density of Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark) near to new housing. • Increased levels of recreational activity resulting in increased disturbance to Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark). • Increased levels of people on and around the heaths, resulting in an increase in urban effects such as increased fire risk, fly-tipping, trampling. • Increased levels of recreation to the Norfolk Coast (including the Wash), potentially resulting in disturbance to interest features and other recreational impacts.
