The programme builds on the previous format, and adds a management-focussed element by including an (optional) discussion and site visit with the manager of the largest part of the pebblebed heaths in private ownership. The focus of this year’s reunion will be on heathlands and the coastal landslips of the NNR, but the Jurassic Coast offers many other attractions, particularly to the east towards Swanage. This letter explains the details of the programme for the reunion together with the costs etc., and the booking arrangements. We should be grateful if you would return the attached booking and menu selection forms to us, with your payment, as soon as possible, and by Friday 29 April 2016 at the latest.

Final Conference Abstracts
The Jurassic Coast – geoscience and education The Geologists’ Association Annual Conference 21st October 2016 ABSTRACTS Abstracts World Heritage – a global context Tim Badman The presentation will outline briefly the main goals of the World Heritage Convention, and how these have developed since the Dorset and East Devon Coast was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001. The presentation will speak to the early ambitions for the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site when it was first listed, what has been achieved since, and how the Jurassic Coast can contribute to advancing World Heritage internationally. Amongst the issues discussed will be the role of World Heritage in geoscience and education, the defining of international approaches to conservation of geodiversity, and the relationship to the new programme of UNESCO on Global Geoparks. Defining the Permian in Devon Richard Scrivener and Sarita E. McVicar Wright The outcrop of the New Red Sandstone in Devon extends along the coast from Torbay to the east of Branscombe. In the 19th Century, the precise stratigraphical position of these rocks was a matter of conjecture: in 1876, W.A.E. Ussher considered them to be entirely Triassic, but by 1912 he had modified this and placed the rocks from Torbay to Exmouth in the Permian, with the Permian/Triassic (PT) boundary at the base of the ‘Lower Marls’ (now Aylesbeare Group). In the later part of the 20th Century, detailed mapping divided the Permian of Devon into an early succession separated by a considerable hiatus from a mid- to late Permian succession. More recently, geochronological work has demonstrated the breccias in the Torbay area to be of earliest Permian age. -

Harcombe Farm, Uplyme
https://www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk/research Harcombe Farm, Uplyme Graham Davies, November 2020 Harcombe Farm was included as one of the 70 display boards in the Farming in the Lim Valley exhibition held in Uplyme Village Hall in May 2008. The exhibition was researched and curated by Museum volunteers Ken Gollop, also a trustee, and Graham Davies, a retired veterinary surgeon. The author has carried out further research for this article. This 1970s photo of Harcombe Farm shows several of the original buildings from the farmstead that was built in the 1840s. The annotation refers to their use at that time. Timeline Harcombe farm is situated in Harcombe Bottom, Uplyme, Devon, which is about 2 miles, across the parish and 1848-54 John Freeman Snr county boundaries, from Lyme Regis in Dorset. In most of 1855-69 John Freeman Jnr the 19th century and early part of the 20th century, the land 1869-73 John Wyatt was part of the Rhode Hill estate owned by the Talbot 1874-81 George Spurle family. In 1840 Admiral Sir John Talbot GCB owned 536 1884-85 Walter Phippen acres of land in the parish of Uplyme together with further 1887-88 Mr W H Spiller ‘right of access’ to common land. There is no indication that 1891 Richard Cole ‘Harcombe Farm’ existed at that time. Over 300 acres of 1899 Cecil Cole the land was farmed ‘in-hand’ by the estate. 1901 John Pinney 1903-15 Thomas G Bowditch A change in estate policy led to the creation of Harcombe 1919-23 George Williams Farm: a farmstead with over 300 acres of land. -
April 18Th to 22Nd, 1889
xxvi VISIT TO THE MUSEUM OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. These and other so-called wingless birds-their rudimentary wings being nscless for flight-probably lost the use of these organs from living where they had no enemies from which to fly, thereby escaping the dangers incident to flight; so that those that could not fly would have better chances of living than those that could. These examples will serve to illustrate the nature of the very pleasant and instructive meeting we had at the College, for which the President proposed a vote of thanks to Prof. Stewart, which was cordially responded to. The party then broke up, but still continued for some time longer to inspect the specimens. EASTER EXCURSION. PRELIMINARY EXCURSION TO LYME REGIS. APRIL 18TH TO 22ND, 1889. Director: HORACE B. WOODWARD, F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of England and Wales. (Report by THE DIRECTOR.) Hardly any place in the British Isles is richer in features of geological interest than Lyme Begis; yet, hitherto, the Asso ciation had paid it no visit. On two occasions when Excursions had been arranged in the neighbourhood, the Members had come within a walking distance of the town. Thus, in 1871, under the guidance of Professor Buckman and Mr. Lobley, some Members went from Yeovil to Seaton and examined the cliffs for a short distance eastwards. '" Again, in 1885, when your present Director had the honour of conducting a party from Bridport, the Members examined the cliff-sections from Burton Bradstock to Eype, east of Thorncombe Beacon. t The trip now undertaken served to complete the examination of this portion of our coast.
