Of the 75 male inhabitants over the age of 12, there were 7 farmers, 47 farm workers and 7 servants (at Barkham Manor and Barkham Square). Out of 70 female inhabitants over twelve, 9 were in domestic service. The occupations of wives and unmarried daughters were not recorded, but in the absence of any cottage industry most would have had to work hard looking after large households and helping in the fields at harvest time. 36% of the inhabitants were children under 13. The labouring families in Barkham lived principally in four locations, namely Coombs Hill (now Hayes Lane), Langley Common, Barkham Street and Long Moor. 78.5% of the inhabitants of Barkham in 1841 were born in Berkshire, but what proportion were born in Barkham is not known. As an agricultural parish, there would have been a high degree of mobility, labourers being hired for twelve months at a time at the Michaelmas hiring fairs. The number born in the parish was probably already less than one-half, since by 1851 the proportion was 44%. Employment opportunities for local inhabitants, male or female alike, at Barkham Manor or Barkham Square were few, however, since their gentlemen tenants tended to bring their own 1 servants with them, and to continue to recruit staff, from outside the parish. The population of Barkham in the nineteenth century peaked at 280 in 1861 and 284 in 1891, falling back to 218 by 1901. Of the 86 male inhabitants over the age of 12 in 1901, there were 4 farmers (10 out of 91 in 1891), 39 farm workers and 11 indoor/outdoor servants. Out of 84 female inhabitants over twelve, 13 were in domestic service (21 out of 91 in 1891). 21% of the inhabitants were children under 13 (33% in 1891). By 1901 only 51 people living in Barkham had been born in the parish (and half of those were children under 13), but 89 inhabitants (41%) had been born in other parishes no further than 15 miles from Barkham. The proportion of adult male inhabitants engaged in agriculture fell from 84% in 1871 to 50% in 1901, doubtless a reflection of the Great Depression, whilst those employed as indoor/outdoor servants increased during this period from 7% to 13%. More significantly, the number of artisans increased from 6 (7%) in 1891 to 16 (18%) in 1901, including 10 brickmakers and bricklayers, who probably worked in the growing industrial centres of Reading and Bracknell. This is the first evidence that the industrial revolution was beginning to have an impact on Barkham. 2 BARKHAM CENSUS 1841 Page no in Born transcript in same of tythe Place Name Age Occupation county

    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.

    15 Road Drainage and the Water Environment

    HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 15 ROAD DRAINAGE AND THE WATER ENVIRONMENT 15.1 Introduction 15.1.1 This chapter assesses the impacts of the Scheme on road drainage and the water environment during construction and operation, focussing on the effects of highway drainage on the quality and hydrology of receiving waters. In view of the long design-life of the Scheme (30 years for new gantries, 40 years for new carriageway construction, and 120 years for new bridges), the decommissioning phase of the Scheme has not been considered in this chapter because its effects are not predicted to be worse than the effects assessed during the construction and operational phases. The chapter assesses four principal impacts: a) effects of routine runoff on surface water bodies; b) effects of routine runoff on groundwater; c) pollution impacts from spillages; and d) flood impacts. 15.1.2 Although Interim Advice Note (”IAN”) 161/13 ‘Managed Motorways, All lane running’ (Ref 15-1) has scoped out the assessment of ‘Road Drainage and the Water Environment’ for smart motorway schemes, the assessment is required to ensure the protection of the water environment, to prevent its degradation, and ensure adequate mitigation measures are in place to prevent any adverse impacts. 15.1.3 The road drainage and water environment assessment for the Scheme has been undertaken in accordance with standard industry practice and statutory guidance. 15.1.4 This chapter details the methodology followed for the assessment, and summarises the regulatory and policy framework relating to road drainage and the water environment.

    Tree Watch Issue 49 May 2021

    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 49 May 2021 On 14th May, we had 8,445 trees in our database and 13,074 photographs Welcome to the latest issue of Tree Watch. Why have I featured these lovely carvings here? See page 7. As well as carvings, in this issue we feature native crayfish and (briefly) blue tits. As Alison mentions on page four there are many references to trees in the media these days. As there isn’t space to summarise all of these, I ’ve extended the list of recommended reading and viewing on pages 13 & 14. If you missed the Tree Council’s ‘Plant Health Week: Spring Health Check Webinar’ on 13th May, it was recorded and will hopefully be available soon. We had a very successful “Favourite Tree” evening this month and you’ll see references to some of the presentations in this and future issues; but you can also watch a recording of the whole session. The next issue of Tree Watch will be August 2021 and the copy deadline is 31st July.
