Bramshill Site of Special Scientific Interest
The Dragonflies of Bramshill Site of Special Scientific Interest Freshwater Habitats Trust Author Ken Crick Forward Bramshill Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is a Flagship Pond Site. Part of a network of the very best of Britain’s ponds; sites of exceptional importance for freshwater wildlife and some of our finest freshwater habitats. The Flagship sites can be a single special pond, or more commonly group of ponds, selected because they support rich, often irreplaceable, communities and species at risk of extinction. They represent some of the least impacted, most diverse pond habitats remaining in the country. Many of our nation’s most beautiful and biodiverse waterbodies have degraded irrevocably, and it’s critically important that the remaining sites are well protected and well managed. In 2015, with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Freshwater Habitats Trust launched the Flagship Ponds project, Mats of Water Crowfoot flower on Bramshill working with land managers and community groups to ensure that the most Plantation’s Longwater. critical pond sites in Britain were protected for the long term.

This Draft Catchment Management Plan is a step towards achieving that goal for the Blackwater River catchment. As a vehicle for consultation it will provide a means of seeking a consensus on the way ahead and as a planning document it will be a means of seeking commitment from all parties to realising the environmental potential of the catchment. » '' I ■ ; We look forward to receiving the contributions of those organisations and individuals involved with the river and its catchment.

Newnham: a History of the Parish and Its Church
NEWNHAM: A HISTORY OF THE PARISH AND ITS CHURCH SUMMARY Newnham is a long-established community. It dates from well before 1130, which is the earliest written reference. It has some unusual features, for example being built on a ridge away from water. Its church, despite being renovated by the Victorians, yet contains many interesting elements, including a wonderful Norman chancel arch and a carved-in-stone memorial to a priest of the 13th century – comparable to a brass but in this case perhaps unique in Hampshire. Its oldest bell has been ringing over the land since Henry VII was king (1485-1509). It is a charming backwater, aside from the mainstream of headlong 'progress'. A place where the generations have made their contribution and laid their bones – the very essence of rural England. SETTING Newnham, as it exists today, lies on a ridge of high ground above and to the east of the river Lyde. The central feature is The Green enclosed on three sides by a cluster of houses. Here four lanes meet at the crossroads, a fifth leads to the church and a sixth branches away, past the pub. Along these lanes are scattered many dwellings: some very old, others newer. The highest point is the church which stands about 95m or 312 ft above sea level, the Green itself is a little lower. The soil is Plateau Gravel with London Clay preponderating in the surrounding area as it falls away in each direction; immediately along the Lyde the soil is Alluvium (1). The geology to some extent explains the location of the settlement: the plateau gravel lies above a 'saucer' of clay so that rainfall percolates through to the impermeable clay where it is retained; when a well is sunk through the gravel, water is found fairly close to the surface. -

The upper part of the Blackwater valley is highly urbanised and includes Aldershot, Home of the British Army, and Farnborough, home to the Royal Aircraft Establishment. The average rainfall in the Blackwater catchment is 710 mm. The fall in the river from its source to its confluence with the Loddon is 82m. From its source to its confluence with the Loddon it is approximately 37 km. THE NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY Established on 1st September 1989, the NRA is an independent public body charged with safeguarding and improving the natural water environment. It is responsible for flood defence, regulating the quality of rivers and groundwaters, balancing the needs of various water users, protecting and improving fish stocks and promoting water based recreation of all kinds. The NRA is committed to improving wildlife habitats and conserving the natural environment in all it undertakes. TRIBUTARIES The Cove Brook rises on Laffin’s Plain in Farnborough, and joins the Blackwater at Frimley. The Whitewater rises at Greywell and meets the Blackwater at Risely. The Hart has its source at Crondall, and is joined by the Fleet Brook at Hartley Wintney before its confluence with the Whitewater at Bramshill The Basingstoke Canal crosses the southern part of the Blackwater catchment.
