  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

  • Briefing for the Amesbury; Devizes and Pewsey Community Area Boards - May 2015
    NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Briefing for the Amesbury; Devizes and Pewsey Community Area Boards - May 2015 Fatal fire – Amesbury On Sunday 5th April at 6.54pm Wiltshire FRS mobilised to reports of ‘smoke issuing’ at an address in Coltsfoot Close, Amesbury. Fire crews from Amesbury and Salisbury were mobilised. On arrival the first responding crew; from Amesbury, identified that despite attempts by a member of the public to rescue the occupier of the property the occupier had succumbed to his injuries and died. A fire investigation was conducted by Wiltshire FRS investigators, in support of Wiltshire Police, and identified that the cause was accidental (although this will be formally determined by the Coroner). Countdown to Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service combination began on 1st April Wiltshire & Swindon and Dorset Fire Authorities started the one year countdown to their combination after successfully securing the support of the public, constituent authorities and the Secretary of State. The new Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Authority officially came into being in shadow status on1 April 2015 and will replace the two existing Authorities on 1 April 2016. This combination is the first of its kind in the fire sector and will help to secure the future direction and development of both Wiltshire and Dorset Fire & Rescue Services as well as the continued safety of the public in the two counties. The combination will make substantial savings of between £4-6 million per year, which will help us to protect frontline services as much as possible and continue to develop the services we provide to the community in the most efficient way.

  • Kellys Directory Extract 1915 Bemerton
    Kellys Directory Extract 1915 Bemerton BEMERTON is a village and civil parish, extending one mile west and adjoining the City of Salisbury, on the river Nadder, in the Southern division of the county, hundred of Branch and Dole, petty sessional division of Salisbury and Amesbury, Wilton union, Salisbury county court district, rural deanery of Wilton, archdeaconry of Sarum and diocese of Salisbury. Until the year 1894 Fugglestone St Peter was the civil as well as the ecclesiastical parish, of which Bemerton is a chapelry, but in that year, under the provisions of the Local Government Act of 1894, the County Council made an Order, dated July 10th , constituting Bemerton as the civil parish, including part of Fugglestone St Peter, the remainder of that place being joined for all civil purposes with the parish of Wilton. The church of St Peter, at FUGGLESTONE, is a small building of stone, consisting of a chancel, nave, south porch, and a small western turret containing 3 bells: it was repaired about 1848 and has 70 sittings. The register dates from the year 1568. The living of Fugglestone is a rectory, with the chapelry of Bemerton annexed, joint net yearly value £312, with residence and 4 acres of glebe, in the gift of the Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, and held since 1890 by the Rev Francis Warre MA of Balliol College, Oxford, canon and prebendary of Salisbury, and surrogate.
