  • Shalbourne Vale, Which Extends to the East of the Vale of Pewsey 13.13
    13. LANDSCAPE TYPE 6: VALES Location and Boundaries 13.1. The Vales are defined topographically, and are distinct areas of lowland, almost always below 130m AOD. The transition to these low lying landscapes is often dramatic, marked by a steep scarp slope. The Vale of Pewsey, including its narrow eastern extension towards Shalbourne, separates the two main chalk upland blocks of the Downs. In addition a number of smaller areas of low lying vale landscape occur along the northern and eastern edge of the North Wessex Downs and relate to the adjacent Countryside Character area 108: Upper Thames Clay Vales. Overview The chalk downs form an imposing backdrop to the flat low lying Vales – an example of the dramatic contrast and juxtaposition of landscape character within the North Wessex Downs. The towering slopes of the adjacent chalk scarps forming a dominant ‘borrowed’ landscape setting that contains and enclosing the Vales. Underlain by Greensand, these lowland landscapes are well-watered, with numerous streams issuing at the junction of the chalk and the less permeable underlying rocks and characterised by watercourses meandering across the flat vale floor. Rich loamy and alluvial soils create a productive agricultural landscape, with a mix of both arable and pasture in fields bound by thick, tall hedgerows. Views are constrained and framed by the topography, rising scarp slopes of the downs and low hedgerows, producing a strong sense of enclosure. Woodland cover is sparse, except where linear belts of willow, alder and scrub accentuate the line of the watercourses that thread across the Vales. The streams, remnant waterside pastures and riparian woodlands form a lush ‘wetland’ landscape of considerable ecological value.

  • The Great Barn Stanton St
    The Great Barn Stanton St. Bernard, Marlborough An exceptionally generous barn conversion with views The Great Barn, over the Vale of Pewsey and the Alton Barnes White Horse. Stanton St. Bernard, Marlborough SN8 4LN Mileages Pewsey – 5.7 miles; Pewsey station (London Paddington in 65 minutes) – 5.5 miles; Marlborough – 9.5 miles; Devizes – 7 miles Accommodation Main house: Galleried entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, utility/boot room, walk in pantry, dining room, cloakroom, exceptional vaulted 38 ft. drawing room, study, music gallery, TV gallery, games room, six/seven bedrooms, fi ve bathrooms. 5,306 square foot in total. Outside: Garaging and workshop, tennis court, heated swimming pool, twin driveways, landscaped gardens, exceptional views over the White Horse at Alton Barnes and the Vale of Pewsey. In all about 1.85 acres. 1 Quintessential thatched barn The aptly named Great Barn is a beautifully appointed and substantial period barn thoughtfully and sympathetically converted into this beautiful family home. The original barn was dramatically altered to encompass a more sympathetic family layout and to maximise the light, setting this apart from other barn conversions. A real emphasis was put on conserving the many period features including the open trussed ceilings and substantial entrances but also combining these with more intimate family spaces as well as grand entertaining rooms. The galleried entrance hall provides the first glimpse of the spectacular proportions and interest that continue throughout the barn. This double height open space throughout the property gives an impressive atmosphere. The centrepiece of this home is the central drawing room where the floor has been marginally raised to give a more natural feel to this 38 ft.

  • October 2020 Messenger
    Our Clergy letter this month is from Rev. Jennifer Totney The first time I went on a silent retreat, I wasn’t too worried about being quiet during the day- I am used to quiet walks for reflection, but I did wonder how the mealtimes would be. It was strange of course, especially as I had gone with a group from my church. We did manage to have much hilarity- it is amazing how funny burnt toast can be when you are not allowed to talk to each other! But the thing I noticed the most, was that it made me much more aware of other people. When you can talk to each other it is easy to say ‘please pass the salt’ or to get someone’s attention by saying their name. But because we couldn’t use verbal cues, we had to pay attention to each other much more. It was a strange combination of feeling removed from each other and yet brought closer in a new way. I have noticed a very similar sensation over the last few months as we have all adjusted to ‘social distancing’ and wearing masks. We are removed from each other in ways that are unfamiliar- not being able to shake hands or hug, not seeing someone smile or frown. And yet because of this we have to pay more attention and be more aware of each other. Instead of just brushing past people on the street or footpath, we are thinking about which direction we are going. Instead of just smiling at people we pass, we have to say hello or nod to show our engagement.

  • Pewsey Community Area Plan
    Pewsey Community Area Plan 2019-04 PCAP Plan v25.docx Page 1 of 40 Introduction What is the Pewsey Community Area Partnership (PCAP)? PCAP is autonomous and independent; it is inclusive of, and accountable to our wider Community Area. It has a voluntary relationship with the Council and public agencies and helps to form the basis of a strong, resilient and empowered Pewsey Community Area. PCAP aims to create active and sustained participation by all sections of the community that will lead to public funding and services to be more accurately allocated to the wider priority needs. PCAP consults widely on a range of the community issues and holds public engagement events and activities to further involve every member of the community. The Pewsey Community Area covers the following parishes (26 in total, * indicates parishes have combined): Alton, Beechingstoke, Burbage, Buttermere, *Charlton and Wilsford, Chirton & Conock, Easton, Grafton, Great Bedwyn, Ham, Little Bedwyn, Manningford, Marden, Milton Lilbourne, North Newnton, Patney, Pewsey, Rushall, Shalbourne, Stanton St Bernard, Upavon, *Wilcot & Huish (with Oare), Woodborough, Wootton Rivers. What is the Community Plan (CP)? The CP sets out ideas and priorities for each subject area. Each of these ideas, based on priority, form the basis of consultation with the community to identify what actions the community would like to see happen. Those actions may then be delivered by Wiltshire Council, other services, voluntary organisations or Parish Councils, or indeed a combination of these organisations. PCAP’s role is to identify the actions and to assist in realising the projects or changes required. How is PCAP organised? PCAP is made up of a group of volunteers, all living and working within the Pewsey Community Area and who meet every quarter.

  • St Mary's and All Saints
    A SHORT HISTORY of ST MARY’S Alton Barnes, and ALL SAINTS Alton Priors The area around these two villages has a notable history. On the Downs above are the Neolithic Knap Hill Causewayed Camp and the long barrow Adam’s Grave; known as Wodnesbeorg by the Anglo Saxons, and the scene of a Battle in 593. The ancient Ridgeway descends to Alton Priors having first crossed another colossal earthwork, the Wansdyke (Woden’s Dyke.) The Romans occupied the area, and in 2005 a 3rd century hoard of some 3,000 coins was discovered in Alton Barnes. It was donated by the Tenant Farmer and New College, Oxford, to the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. The derivation of the world Alton is Saxon and although ‘ald’ or ‘eld’ prefixes ‘tun’ to mean old enclosure or village, the presence of numerous water sources in the area, which ultimately give rise to the Avon, lead authorities to point to ‘awel-tun’ – village by the streams – as being the most probable origin. Earliest mention of Alton Priors as ‘Aweltone’ is made in 825 when after King Egbert’s defeat of the Mercians at Wroughton, near Swindon, he ceded land in the village to the Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul in Winchester. Later this bequest came under the authority of Alfred the Great’s Benedictine priory of Hyde Abbey and with it the addition of ‘Priors’ to the original ‘Aweltone.’ It is quite probable that St Swithin himself was concerned with Alton’s affairs during Egbert’s reign since he was both advisor to the king and tutor to his son prior to his enthronement as Bishop in 852.
