  • River Tarrant in Dorset
    River Tarrant in Dorset An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – July 2010 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the River Tarrant, a Dorset Stour tributary. The advisory visit was carried out at the request of Sarah Worral, representing the River Tarrant Preservation Society (RTPS), which has an active interest in protecting and improving this small Dorset chalkstream. The RTPS are looking for advice on management and maintenance of the stream and are particularly interested in exploring any ideas that might assist fish populations during periods of little, or no flow. This issue is discussed further in section 2, 3 and 4 of this report. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Sarah Worral, Rose Mannering Burton, James Mallet and David Porter from the RTPS. Further information has subsequently been obtained from Nicole Caetano from the Environment Agency. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. 2. Catchment overview The winterbourne section of the Tarrant generally rises north of Tarrant Gunville and flows about 13 km south to join the River Stour downstream of Blandford. The source of any winterbourne and indeed most chalkstreams, will vary according to winter rainfall levels and will migrate down the hydraulic gradient in response to prolonged periods of below average rainfall. The Tarrant upstream of Tarrant Monkton is regarded by the Environment Agency as a true winterbourne.

  • St Mary's, Tarrant Crawford Guidebook
    CHURCH OF ST MARY Tarrant Crawford, Dorset 1 West Smithfield London EC1A 9EE Tel: 020 7213 0660 Fax: 020 7213 0678 Email: [email protected] £3.00 www.visitchurches.org.uk Registered Charity No. 258612 Spring 2007 Tarrant Crawford, Dorset CHURCH OF ST MARY by Christopher Dalton (Church and architectural historian, writer on buildings and bells, architectural photographer and lay canon of Hereford Cathedral) INTRODUCTION Tarrant Crawford is the lowest of the eight villages or hamlets, seven of them still with churches, on the little river Tarrant. It lies in a gentle valley, close to the confluence of the Tarrant with the much larger river Stour. This remains an utterly unspoilt pastoral landscape which could be a hundred miles from the Bournemouth–Poole conurbation rather than the 10–12 miles (16–19km) that it actually is. The name ‘Tarrant’ seems to be identical with ‘Trent’, an ancient British river-name used of a river liable to flood, and ‘Crawford’ to mean ‘crows’ ford’. The ford in question was probably over the Stour where the splendid Crawford Bridge was built in the late Middle Ages, although this is now actually in the adjoining parish of Spetisbury. Front cover: Interior looking west (Boris Baggs) Left: Priest’s stall and pews (Boris Baggs) 2 Exterior from the north (Christopher Dalton) 3 HISTORY The CHURCH With only an old farmhouse and its buildings and heavy buttresses, are thought to have The present church was quite separate from the in the south wall is still 12th century, as is the standing anywhere near the church, Crawford is belonged to the abbey; and the earliest part of the abbey and evidently served the village and parish pilaster buttress at the north-east corner now a tiny place.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including relevant Natura 2000 sites1.

  • House for Duty Priest Based in the Tarrant Valley, Milton and Blandford Deanery
    House for Duty Priest based in the Tarrant Valley, Milton and Blandford Deanery Introduction by the Bishop of Sherborne This newly shaped post offers an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to contribute their particular skills within a wider context. The Chase Benefice, particularly the parishes of the Tarrant Valley, offers a mixture of rural and suburban ministry located alongside the town of Blandford Forum. We are looking for someone to occupy a House for Duty post for a limited period to work with colleagues to help bring about change within the deanery, reconfiguring ministry so it meets future needs, particularly around Sixpenny Handley and Blandford. Being placed within a local team of clergy and lay leaders, which will include the Priests-in-Charge of Sixpenny Handley, Stourpaine, Pimperne and Durweston, and Blandford St Mary, Charlton Marshall and Spetisbury and local retired clergy, it is hoped that an interim House for Duty Priest will be able to work creatively to offer support to some of the more rural parishes and help reshape ministry around Blandford. The villages enjoy beautiful rural countryside, yet are within easy reach of Blandford, Shaftesbury, Salisbury, Poole and Dorchester as well as the coast. Salisbury station (around 20 minutes away) offers rail connections to Exeter and London Waterloo or Bristol and Southampton. Rural ministry in Dorset is both joyful and challenging, hence the need to build collaborative groupings of parishes to share resources, maintain well-being amongst lay and ordained leaders and realistically plan for the future. The diocese is fully supportive of honouring deanery planning within its five year plan and has, for the last three years, invested in supporting the rural church through its Rural Hope programme, enabled by national strategic development funding.
