A Building Stone Atlas of Warwickshire
Strategic Stone Study A Building Stone Atlas of Warwickshire First published by English Heritage May 2011 Rebranded by Historic England December 2017 Introduction The landscape in the county is clearly dictated by the Cob was suitable for small houses but when more space was underlying geology which has also had a major influence on needed it became necessary to build a wooden frame and use the choice of building stones available for use in the past. The wattle fencing daubed with mud as the infilling or ‘nogging’ to geological map shows that much of this generally low-lying make the walls. In nearly all surviving examples the wooden county is underlain by the red mudstones of the Triassic Mercia frame was built on a low plinth wall of whatever stone was Mudstone Group. This surface cover is however, broken in the available locally. In many cases this is the only indication we Nuneaton-Coventry-Warwick area by a narrow strip of ancient have of the early use of local stones. Adding the stone wall rocks forming the Nuneaton inlier (Precambrian to early served to protect the wooden structure from rising damp. The Devonian) and the wider exposure of the unconformably infilling material has often been replaced later with more overlying beds of the Warwickshire Coalfield (Upper durable brickwork or stone. Sometimes, as fashion or necessity Carboniferous to early Permian). In the south and east of the dictated, the original timber framed walls were encased in county a series of low-lying ridges are developed marking the stone or brick cladding, especially at the front of the building outcrops of the Lower and Middle Jurassic limestone/ where it was presumably a feature to be admired. -
Prayer Diary Every Supporting Ligament, Grows and Builds Itself up in Love, As Each Part Does Its Work
Spiritual Formation Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by Prayer Diary every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:15-16 June 2017 Have you been to the gym recently? Or out for a very good meal? As a society, we spend a lot of time thinking about outward appearances and how to maintain a healthy diet. But do we spend anywhere near as much time thinking about how we nurture our souls? Church as a ‘contact sport’ Over the last few weeks I’ve found myself reflecting at There is a rich vein of two thousand years of Christian teaching and wisdom which can help Archdeacons’ Visitations on five years of ministry as each of us to mature on our own spiritual journey. We are body, mind and spirit, and when Archdeacon Pastor. I’ve been comparing it to a rugby we pay too much attention to one of these, or neglect one, we become somehow dis- match I went to recently because, in my experience, integrated, out of kilter. Finding regular time and space for God, inspired by Christian church can be very much a ‘contact sport’. We are all traditions, literature and art can help us to grow spiritually and restore us to wholesomeness different so disagreements are inevitable; and when they – to be transformed into our unique and authentic selves as God intended us to be. -

Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library
Medical History, 1996, 40: 365-372 Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library Thomas Mister of Shipston (1711-80) JOAN LANE* All too little is known about the actual running of eighteenth-century medical practices and it was formerly presumed that provincial surgeon-apothecaries, barely literate, kept no financial or patient records, relying merely on memory. However, recent research has shown that such men kept accounts, sent bills and wrote clients receipts for treatment, although after nearly three centuries surgeon-apothecaries' cash ledgers and patient notes may have simply been destroyed or lie unrecognized in private archives. Far more examples of patient case-notes exist than practice cash records. Undoubtedly, eminent practitioners treating the great, titled or affluent were more likely to write up their findings, medications and results, for example, John Hall (1575-1635), William Brownrigg (1711-1800) or Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). More representative, however, were the general practice memoirs of such men as Richard Kay of Lancashire or Christian Esberger of Lincolnshire,I with no famous patients and only a modest way of life. If these memoirs are uncommon in archive terms, then financial records of Georgian general practice are even rarer. A partial estimate of a practitioner's income can, of course, be constructed when his fees are traced in patients' own records, particularly estate ledgers, or if he had been paid for institutional tasks (parish poor law work, legal cases of all kinds). Many categories of patients-chronic, hypochondriac, or fatally ill-who were correspondents or diarists wrote of medical diagnosis, treatment and especially fees, but these are only fragments of information.2 More detailed local research can show, however, that practitioners did keep cash records, itemizing patients' names, addresses, medications and charges, nearly always indicating how slowly an account was settled, never paid or, unrecoverable, written off as a bad debt ("desperate"). -

(Lepus) has prepared this Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) screening report of the Brailes Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) on behalf of Stratford-on-Avon District Council. This is a requirement of Regulation 102 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 20101. 1.2 HRA process 1.2.1 HRA considers the potential adverse impacts of plans and projects on designated Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), classified Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and listed Ramsar sites. This is in accordance with the Habitats Directive2 and the Birds Directive3. SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites are collectively known as the Natura 2000 network. 1.2.2 Should a development, plan or project be considered likely to have a significant impact on a Natura 2000 site, the HRA proceeds to an Appropriate Assessment. If Likely Significant Effects (LSEs) cannot be avoided, mitigated or compensated to the extent that the conservation status of the EU site will not be undermined, the HRA proceeds to Imperative Reasons of Overriding Interest (IROPI). 1.3 Background 1.3.1 Lepus completed an HRA screening of the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy in April 20144, concluding that it was not likely to lead to adverse effects on any Natura 2000 sites. -
