It came from the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire and followed the slight ridge of the watershed between the Thames and the Severn just north of Moreton in Marsh. Its course from the Four Shire Stone is probably marked by the short stretch of county boundary across Uolford Heath to Lemington Lane. The subsequent line is diffi- cult to determine; it may have struck north west across Batsford Heath to Dorn or, perhaps more likely, may have continued along Lemington Lane around the eastern boundary of the Fire Service Technical College, so skirting the marshy area of Lemington and Batsford Heaths. In the latter case, it would have continued across the Moreton in Marsh-Todenham road and along the narrow lane past Lower Lemington which crosses the Ah29 road (the Fosse Way) to Dorn. From there it would have continued to follow approximately the line of this road up past Batsford and along the ridge above to the course followed by the Ahh, thence following the Cotswold Edge southwards. The Salt Hay from Droitwich through Campden followed the same route through Batsford and Dorn to the Four Shire Stone, where it divided into two routes. One followed the same line as the previous way through Kitebrook and past Salterls Hell Farm near Little Compton to the Ridgeway near the Rollright Stones.

  • Chastleton House Was Closed Today,The Four Shire Stone
    Chastleton House was closed today Secret Cottage took a Cotswolds tour to Chastleton House today, but unfortunately it was closed for the filming of Wolf Hall and Bringing up the Bodies. Filming started yesterday and will continue until August the 6th. As an alternative, we took our tourists to The Rollright Stones which were nearby and our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. However, we wanted to tell you something about the fabulous Chastleton House. Chastleton House is a fine Jacobean country house built between 1607 and 1612 by a Welsh wool merchant called Walter Jones. The house is built from beautiful local Cotswold stone and is Grade I listed. It was built on the site of an older house by Robert Catesby who masterminded the gunpowder plot! There are many unique features to Chastleton House; one of them being the longevity of the property within one family. In fact, until the National Trust took over the property in 1991, it had remained in the same family for around 400 years. Unlike many tourist attractions, the National Trust have kept this house completely unspoilt – they are conserving it, rather than restoring it. They don’t even have a shop or tea room; giving you the opportunity to truly step back in time. It’s almost like being in a living museum with a large number of the rooms open to the public that are still beautiful and untouched and have escaped the intrusion of being bought into the 21st century. A trip to Chastleton House brings history to life. This house has charm; there is no pretence with making walls perfect or fixing minor problems; expect to find gaps in the walls, cracks in the ceiling, uneven floors, dust and cobwebs in all their glory.

  • SEPARATE OPINION of JUDGE TORRES BERNARDEZ 1 Have
    SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE TORRES BERNARDEZ 1 have voted for the operative part of the Judgment, except for sub- paragraph 1, subparagraph 2 (i) and subparagraph 5 of operative para- graph 43 1 and subparagraph 2 of operative paragraph 432. Except with respect to the attribution of sovereignty over the island of Meanguerita, my negative votes concern questions relating to the interpretation of Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Special Agreement. The considerations and observations included in the present opinion have a threefold purpose. They intend to convey the essentials of my posi- tion on: (1) questions with respect to which, to my regret, 1 was unable to join the majority vote; (2) questions on which 1 have some reservations notwithstanding my positive vote on the decision concerned as a whole; and (3) main developments in the reasoning which 1 do not share com- pletely or which would have deserved, in my opinion, further elaboration. After a brief introduction concerning the case as a whole, my considera- tions and observations are presented under the main headings of the three major aspects of the case, namely the "land boundary dispute", the "island dispute" and the "maritime dispute". The table of contents thus presents the following synopsis : Paragraphs INTRODUCTION.THE CASE 1-7 1. THELAND BOUNDARY DISPUTE 8-55 A.

Paying for carbon at Mount Elgon: two contrasting approaches at a transboundary park in East Africa. In: Namirembe S, Leimona B, van Noordwijk M, Minang P, eds. Co- investment in ecosystem services: global lessons from payment and incentive schemes. Nairobi: World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). Chapter 28 | 1 CHAPTER 28 Paying for carbon at Mount Elgon: two contrasting approaches at a transboundary park in East Africa Connor J Cavanagh and Olivia E Freeman Highlights • We compare and contrast delivery of community benefits under two approaches to PES. • UWA-FACE provided employment; MERECP negotiated CRMAs and revolving funds. • By 2004 more than 44% of UWA-FACE forest units were compromised by encroachment. • MERECP’s community revolving funds have been met with mixed success. • Both market and fund-based PES approaches require locally-relevant benefit sharing. 28.1 Introduction Across East Africa and beyond, resource management authorities have begun to experiment with various payment for ecosystem service (PES) mechanisms for strengthening the governance of protected areas. Perhaps the most widespread of these are payment for carbon sequestration and avoided deforestation initiatives, in which finances are disbursed to forest users or managers via either trust funds or voluntary markets. Though often identified as a ‘triple win’ solution for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and socioeconomic development, such potential benefits of course will only be realized if these initiatives are sustainably designed, effectively governed, and attentive to local perceptions of social and environmental justice.

  • Street Furniture Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Street Furniture Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide looks at the several categories of street furniture. The first comprises objects connected with the highways including street surfaces, pavements, bollards, street lighting and milestones.
