    The Accommodation

    The Accommodation Five bedrooms Utility (one en suite) Garage Bathroom and WC Parking Shower room and WC Delightful garden Sitting room Beautiful views Large lounge/dining Double glazing room Oil fired CH Kitchen/breakfast room Description A substantial family home in the centre of this charming village on the southern slopes of Dartmoor. Playcroft was originally three thatched properties dating back at least two centuries and the history of ownership goes back well over a hundred years. During the twentieth century the houses were converted into one unit and the roof rebuilt to a more modern standard. Playcross has a very attractive rear elevation which looks out over the main garden which is a delightful and fairly level lawn interspersed with a number of colourful trees and shrubs. The present owners, who have lived in Playcroft for many years, take a delight in their garden and it is a profusion of colour in the spring and early summer. In addition to the back is a further large garden to the side of the property which also has an area of lawn, flowers, a large variety of plants and is enclosed by mature beech hedgerows and fencing. In this part of the garden is the detached, single garage, large woodshed (which is large enough to take a table tennis table), greenhouse and small outhouse immediately behind the house with its own fireplace. This outhouse is block built, and also has a quarry tiled floor, storage heater, power and light and a lean to coal/woodstore adjoining it. There are some lovely views from the garden and particularly from the first floor windows to the property.

    DARTMOOR WALK DEVON DARTMOOR WALK DEVON A 4-day trip to Devon to walk across one of Britain's finest moorlands, Dartmoor. Starting on the South Coast near Plymouth, you will walk north through some stunning valleys up onto 'the last wilderness in England'. Crossing Dartmoor, you will have amazing views across South West England, as well as pass old settlements and tin mines before returning each evening to your hotel in Chagford 26th September - 29th September 2021 Devon, South West England Maximum Group Size 8 Moderate Looking west to Warren House Inn WELCOME I first properly discovered Dartmoor, when I was serving in the British Army and ran several Leadership Development exercises on and around Dartmoor. So I am really happy to be able to return and offer this amazing walk across Dartmoor. As long as the weather holds, you will enjoy some of the best views in South West England. You are in safe hands and can relax and fully enjoy the walk and journey I take you on. I focus on providing immersive and original experiences that take you on a journey physically, as well as an enriching metaphorical journey in your life. Adventure is an integral part of being human. When in the great outdoors, in a location you have never been to before, and where you may find yourself outside your physical comfort zone, you end up learning more about yourself. These type of walks opens your mind, and you will surprise yourself at what you are capable of achieving. It facilitates personal growth and development while also having fun.

  • The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson

    The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson

    The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson Introduction At a Dartmoor Tinworking Research Group (DTRG) event in Ilsington in February 2014, Dr Tom Greeves gave a presentation on tinners and tinworking in the area. He described the Grose family who played a crucial role in the development of the mining industry around Ilsington from the 1860s until the early C20th and suggested that someone might like to build on his research. Tom has been privileged to correspond with and then interview William Ambrose Grose (the younger) who remembered much about some of the mines in the Ilsington area from the late C19th to the early C20th. William became an honorary member of DTRG, and his obituary appeared in the January 1995 Newsletter. I became more interested in the Grose family when I came across the photographs featured in this article. They have been reproduced with the permission of the owner, John Rose, and some of the family history is based on his research. Cornish Roots The name Grose (and its variants) has been around since Norman times, being Old French for ‘big’ or ‘fat’. This particular spelling is, for some reason, common in Cornwall. The name Ambrose Grose also has a long history, appearing in Cornish church records as early as 1575. The Grose family in Devon used the forename Ambrose five times within three generations, suggesting that they were descended from an ancient Cornish line. The Ilsington branch of the Grose family originated from Roche. William Grose was baptised there in 1789 and married Mary Ann Parsons in 1819.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

    Burrator BEACON Autumn 2018 Re-opening of Burrator reservoir after it was raised in 1928 (Photo credit: South West Water) 2 Burrator Beacon Editorial – Karen Batson As you have driven across Dartmoor, you may have noticed signs showing the number of sheep or ponies killed by vehicles in a particular area of the moor. Sadly, this is an ongoing problem. There are two articles after the Clerk’s Report about this important issue, which relate directly to our parish. Thanks must go to those volunteers who are giving up their own time to protect our livestock and, it must be said, US! Who knows how long it will be before another member of the public is a victim of those who continue to put their own needs first before the safety of all? On a lighter note, there are lots of interesting reports in this issue, which bear testament to all those other volunteers who work hard to stage events and entertainment for our benefit. The winter issue of the Burrator Beacon will be published at the end of November. Deadline for copy will be Tuesday 6th November, at the latest. That issue will cover the months up until the end of February 2019. Don’t forget, this is your magazine for your parish, so we would like to hear from you! Do consider writing a piece about any of the events you have participated in, or visited, in our area. We need to spread the word about all the great things that happen around here. Please send all submissions as Word attachments, as this makes the cut and pasting process much simpler!

It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Holne 1 Introduction Holne is a small nucleated village with an irregular form lying on the south eastern slopes of Dartmoor about 3.5 miles west of Ashburton. There is a limited range of community services. The village is centred on its church, St Mary the Virgin, the Church House Inn and the village hall. A community shop and tea room has also been in operation for some time. Farming is important locally as well as tourism accommodation and hospitality. The central area is quite substantial and the oldest buildings are located here. The churchyard is of generous size. The site being slightly elevated ensures that the church stands proudly over its village.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.
