The Village Show A date for your diary - this year’s Village Show will be held on Saturday 5th September. We have put it back a week for vari- ous reasons but a main aim is to increase the entries in chil- dren’s classes; the children should have returned to school and hopefully will be able to work on entries then. We will endeavour to give more details each month about cer- tain classes and are planning to include the schedule in the Ju- ly edition of this magazine. Please look out for updates. The titles of this year’s adult photograph classes are: Water Farm machinery Leaves Related to the above, we have not decided on the titles of the classes in the children under-16 photograph section. We are planning to talk to the school about their ideas and what activi- ties they are doing with pupils later in the year. We hope to introduce more craft classes, more information soon.

  • Quakers in the Diocese of Salisbury, 1783
    Quakers in the Diocese of Salisbury, 1783 Extracts from the written answers to the Visitation Queries of Bishop Shute Barrington on his primary visitation N the Salisbury Diocesan Archives (Diocesan Record Office, Wren Hall, The Close, Salisbury. Assistant Diocesan I Archivist: Miss Pamela Stewart) are three volumes of written returns to questions on the state of the church in the parishes of the diocese (the counties of Berkshire and Wilt­ shire), and the following short notes concerning Friends are reproduced here by kind permission of Mr. Alan Barker, the Diocesan Registrar. Shute Barrington (1734-1826), youngest son of the ist Viscount Barrington, was bishop successively of Llandaff (1769), Salisbury (1782), and Durham (1791). The answers of the clergy to the questions asked before his primary visita­ tion in the diocese of Salisbury in 1783 are the only records of this type for the eighteenth century which survive in the Diocesan Archives. The eighth question read as follows: Are there any Presbyterians, Independents, Anabaptists, or Quakers in your Parish, or Chapelry? and how many of each Sect? and of what Rank? Are there any other Places made use of for Divine Worship, than such as are used by the above-mentioned Sects? What are the Names of their Teachers, and are they all licenced as the Law directs? Is their Number greater or less of late Years than formerly, according to your Observation, and by what Means? Are there any Persons in your Parish, who profess to disregard Religion, or who commonly absent themselves from all public Worship of God? A glance through the answers reveals that the clergy were not all equally particular and specific in their answers to this question, so the following notes on Quakers cannot be taken as comprehensive evidence on the extent of Wiltshire Quarterly Meeting in 1783, but they have value as evidence of the Church of England's estimate of Quakerism in the district at that time.

  • M. A. Woods Et Al. 1 a Reappraisal of the Stratigraphy and Depositional
    A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes district, southern England UPPER GREENSAND STRATIGRAPHY, DEVIZES, WILTSHIRE, UK M. A. Woods1, I. P. Wilkinson1, G. K. Lott1, K. A. Booth1, A. R. Farrant1, P. M. Hopson1 and A. J. Newell2 Woods, M. A., Wilkinson, I. P., Lott, G. K., Booth, K. A., Farrant, A. R., Hopson, P. M. & A. J. Newell. 200#. A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes District, southern England. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, XXX. 000 - 000. Three members are recognised within the Upper Greensand Formation of the Devizes district on the basis of outcrop, newly acquired cored borehole and petrographical data. These are, in ascending stratigraphical order, Cann Sand Member, Potterne Sandstone Member and Easterton Sandstone Member. Compared to the imprecise historical subdivisions, the members provide a much clearer indication of lithological variation through the Upper Greensand, and this in turn provides clues to its depositional development. The biostratigraphy of each member has been determined using macrofossils and microfossils. The new biostratigraphical data clarifies the relationship of the Potterne Rock to the traditionally named 'Ragstone' which caps the Shaftesbury Sandstone in the Shaftesbury district, and suggests that the correlation of the Potterne Rock and 'Ragstone' is less straightforward than previously suggested. M. A. Woods et al. 1 There are some distinct contrasts with the stratigraphy of the Upper Greensand southwest of Devizes (Shaftesbury & Wincanton districts). Whilst tectonic influences have been demonstrated to affect coeval strata in parts of the eastern Weald, these may not be the dominant control on the Devizes succession, which seems to be more strongly influenced by its palaeogeographical setting with respect to sediment source areas, and the effect this had on the volume and timing of sediment infill.
