    River Wensum Restoration Strategy

    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR010 River Wensum restoration strategy First published 26 June 2009 www.naturalengland.org.uk Introduction This report was commissioned by Natural England and overseen by a steering group convened by Natural England in partnership with the Environment Agency and the Water Management Alliance (internal drainage board). The report was produced by JBA Consulting, building on a fluvial audit by Geodata Services. The River Restoration Centre acted in an advisory role. The views are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background The River Wensum rises near South Raynham This is the first „whole river‟ restoration strategy in Norfolk and flows east through Norwich, to be prepared in the UK.

    V1.12 1 the River Wensum Past, Present and Future

    V1.12 THE RIVER WENSUM PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - A REVIEW BY THE BROAD ANGLING SERVICES GROUP By Kelvin Allen, Tim Ellis, Cass Singleton (BASG - Wensum Working Group) A Dream of the Future! 1 V1.12 INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper found its genesis in work undertaken by members of the Broads Angling Services Group (BASG) – Wensum Working Group to understand why there has been a marked decline in the River Wensum’s Roach population both in size and fish numbers. BASG’s initial intention was to conduct a BASG Roach Project influenced by the River Avon’s Roach Project to attempt to make improvements to the current situation. In conducting a review of a considerable body of the many papers and studies into the condition and challenges to the River Wensum’s ecology, biodiversity and water quality written in the past 10 to 15 years, it became very evident that an angling community of interest could not solve the issues at hand in isolation of the many other stakeholder and interest groups having authority, responsibility and enthusiasm to effect change for the better. It was extremely obvious that there was a need for a concerted and sustained effort to reinvigorate the measures initiated by the River Wensum Restoration Strategy. The Strategy was commissioned in 2009 by Natural England and overseen by a steering group convened by Natural England in partnership with the Environment Agency and the Water Management Alliance. 1.2 The paper provides background with context and history to support the central theme followed by identification of the community of interest and their roles.

As such, the original version was published in January 2010. This revised version aims to continue to align the Norfolk Rivers IDB with biodiversity policy and more specifically, the Biodiversity document for England, “Biodiversity 2020: A strategy for Englands’ Wildlife and Ecosystem Services” and build on the Government’s 25 Year Environmental Plan; A Green Future. In doing so, the document strives to demonstrate the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and watercourse maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy and achieve wider environmental improvement within its catchments. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate.

  • The Anglo-Saxon Burial Record 181

    The Anglo-Saxon Burial Record 181

    CHANGING BELIEFS THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE EAST ANGLIAN CONVERSION by Richard Stuart Hoggett being a Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, University of East Anglia January 2007 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the historical and archaeological evidence for the coming of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon East Anglia. In particular, it examines the mechanisms by which the new religion may have spread and assesses the speed and scale of its adoption. Part I of the thesis provides a broad context for the questions being asked of the East Anglian material, presents a critique of archaeological approaches to the study of religion and pays particular attention to the ways in which the emergence of Christianity might be recognised in the archaeological record. Part II presents the pertinent data from Anglo-Saxon East Anglia. First, a detailed examination is made of the historical evidence, primarily the material presented by Bede in the Historia Ecclesiastica. Secondly, an exploration is presented of the various ways we might combine documentary, architectural and archaeological sources to identify Anglo-Saxon churches founded as a part of the conversion process. Finally, the East Anglian burial record, comprising some 200 Early and Middle Saxon cemeteries, is presented and analysed. Part III of the thesis synthesises these data and uses them to give an account of the East Anglian conversion.
