South Stoke, Bath MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS 2016 South Stoke, Bath – Memorial Inscriptions Author: P J Bendall Date: 6-Sep-2016 Status: Issue 1 These transcriptions come from a survey carried out in 2014 supplemented by a checking of some inscriptions and photographing of internal memorials in 2016. The names from the memorials have been reconciled with entries in the burial registers and other sources to give, as far as possible, the years of birth and death of the individuals mentioned on the memorials and an index to these. Previous surveys have been carried out in 1998, 2002 and 2007. A CD with a document entitled Notes, On the Record of The Church and Churchyard Monumental Inscriptions -May 2007 has been lodged with Bath Record Office. This has photographs of surviving memorials and, separately, images of handwritten transcriptions of inscriptions. In order to avoid confusion, the numbering scheme for the graves, internal memorials and windows from those surveys have been used here.

    Should Urban Expansion Take Precedence Over Conservation of the Green Belt?

    Should urban expansion take precedence over conservation of the Green Belt? Caroline Hughes Wellsway School Summary Keywords Search: Urban Expansion, Green Belt, Urban Sprawl, Conservation, Bath, Development, Regional Spatial Strategy, BANES, Housing Abstract I have always been interested in proposed building changes in the area surrounding where I live, taking regular notice of development issues within it so upon hearing of the Urban Expansion I immediately sought to further my knowledge by reading the local newspapers and asking people who were taking some kind of role in either supporting or opposing it about it. After the opportunity arose to take part in the Extended Project I felt this was a brilliant topic to research, as it lends itself well to the requirements of the Extended Project as well as the fact that I am very interested in it and want to pursue a career which could potentially deal with issues such as Urban Expansions. Should Urban Expansion take precedence over conservation of the Green Belt? Introduction I have always had an interest in buildings and the environment, so when I first heard of the proposal to build more houses in Bath, it immediately gained my attention. I was doing work experience with the Duchy of Cornwall at the time, and they were having a meeting whereby people from the village, in which I also live, came to look at the Duchy’s proposed development within the village. At this meeting there was a representative from CAUS (Campaign Against Urban Sprawl) who talked about the proposed plans for the development of Bath, who presented their argument opposing the plans, the argument of which I intend to investigate later in my essay.

The natural setting to Bath - its geology and climate - has shaped the city’s topography over thousands of years. Bath sits within the River Avon valley as it cuts through the southern end of the Cotswold Hills and where it is joined by a number of tributaries. The location of the hot springs within the river valley attracted early settlers.
