March 2015 Directors Sent out Warnings to the General Public Reminding People Not to Look Directly Into the Sun View from the Rectory A few years ago, as a solar eclipse approached, planetarium March 2015 directors sent out warnings to the general public reminding people not to look directly into the sun. The planetarium received an indignant letter from a local resident. She said that if an eclipse was so dangerous, they never should have decided to hold one and ought to cancel it. On March 20 th we have an opportunity to witness a solar eclipse in the Kennet Valley and no doubt there will be some like this lady who will respond to the inevitable influx of people with disapproval – hopefully NOT writing letters to the National Trust asking them to cancel the event. It will be a decade before we witness another one and taken as I am by all naturally occurring phenomena, this will be something I will greet with excitement. I remember where we were the last time – on Dartmoor, sitting with a couple of thousand others, picnic, coffee flask, Husband and Dog in tow. The cars lined the route across the moor, parked nose to tail between Bovey Tracey and Widcombe -in -the -Moor. A hundred or more climbed the Tors behind us and the air was full of excitement, tinged with apprehension - for even 20 th Century beings are not unaffected by extraordinary displays in creation, no matter how much we protest its ‘old hat’.

  • Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire
    T H A M E S V A L L E Y ARCHAEOLOGICAL S E R V I C E S Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Desk-based Heritage Assessment by Richard Tabor Site Code MOW13/153 (SU 1287 6797) Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Desk-based Heritage Assessment for Mr. Ted Cartilage by Richard Tabor Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code MOW13/153 September 2013 Summary Site name: Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Grid reference: SU 1287 6797 Site activity: Desk-based heritage assessment Project manager: Steve Ford Site supervisor: Richard Tabor Site code: MOW 13/153 Area of site: c. 0.9 ha Summary of results: The proposal site lies within 150m of the Avebury World Heritage Site and much of the area elsewhere to its north is of very high archaeological potential., It is also within the hypothetical bounds of a Saxon settlement which has some limited support from geophysical survey and the lack of known deposits close to the site may reflect a lack of investigation rather than a genuine absence of past human settlement. The only known heritage assets on or in the immediate vicinity of the site are the listed Manor Farm house and structures within its curtilage pre-dating 1948. The development is unlikely to affect adversely the settings of several other nearby listed buildings. Given the intensity of prehistoric and Saxon activity in the wider area there is a possibility that archaeological remains of some period might be present which may have survived the construction of the modern farm.

It has retained a secluded character despite its proximity to Andover and the busy A303 and A3057. Through various surveys and consultations, the community has expressed its wish to support sustainable development consistent with the environment and amenity value that Goodworth Clatford provides today, whilst retaining the unique rural character of the Parish. Residents and visitors particularly value the Parish’s secluded setting and separation from other communities, its open spaces and views, the Conservation Area, historic buildings and a network of footpaths allowing access to the surrounding countryside and woodlands. The Steering Committee, supported by a large number of volunteers, has been working on the Neighbourhood Development Plan on behalf of Goodworth Clatford Parish Council since the beginning of 2016. The Plan is founded on a significant evidence base that has been compiled in that period, including four detailed Community Reports on aspects of land use, development and the environment. That work provides the basis for this document. The Neighbourhood Development Plan reflects the community’s demonstrable desire for an incremental, organic approach to future

  • Archaeological Research Agenda for the Avebury World Heritage Site
    This volume draws together contributions from a number of specialists to provide an agenda for future research within the Avebury World Heritage Site. It has been produced in response to the English Heritage initiative for the development of regional and period research frameworks in England and represents the first formal such agenda for a World Heritage Site. Following an introduction setting out the background to, need for and development of the Research Agenda, the volume is presented under a series of major headings. Part 2 is a resource assessment arranged by period from the Lower Palaeolithic to the end of the medieval period (c. AD 1500) together with an assessment of the palaeo-environmental data from the area. Part 3 is the Research Agenda itself, again arranged by period but focusing on a variety of common themes. A series of more over-arching, landscape-based themes for environmental research is also included. In Part 4 strategies for the implementation of the Research Agenda are explored and in Part 5 methods relevant for that implementation are presented.
