  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

  • Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire
    T H A M E S V A L L E Y ARCHAEOLOGICAL S E R V I C E S Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Desk-based Heritage Assessment by Richard Tabor Site Code MOW13/153 (SU 1287 6797) Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Desk-based Heritage Assessment for Mr. Ted Cartilage by Richard Tabor Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code MOW13/153 September 2013 Summary Site name: Land at Manor Farm, West Overton, Wiltshire Grid reference: SU 1287 6797 Site activity: Desk-based heritage assessment Project manager: Steve Ford Site supervisor: Richard Tabor Site code: MOW 13/153 Area of site: c. 0.9 ha Summary of results: The proposal site lies within 150m of the Avebury World Heritage Site and much of the area elsewhere to its north is of very high archaeological potential., It is also within the hypothetical bounds of a Saxon settlement which has some limited support from geophysical survey and the lack of known deposits close to the site may reflect a lack of investigation rather than a genuine absence of past human settlement. The only known heritage assets on or in the immediate vicinity of the site are the listed Manor Farm house and structures within its curtilage pre-dating 1948. The development is unlikely to affect adversely the settings of several other nearby listed buildings. Given the intensity of prehistoric and Saxon activity in the wider area there is a possibility that archaeological remains of some period might be present which may have survived the construction of the modern farm.

  • March 2015 Directors Sent out Warnings to the General Public Reminding People Not to Look Directly Into the Sun
    View from the Rectory A few years ago, as a solar eclipse approached, planetarium March 2015 directors sent out warnings to the general public reminding people not to look directly into the sun. The planetarium received an indignant letter from a local resident. She said that if an eclipse was so dangerous, they never should have decided to hold one and ought to cancel it. On March 20 th we have an opportunity to witness a solar eclipse in the Kennet Valley and no doubt there will be some like this lady who will respond to the inevitable influx of people with disapproval – hopefully NOT writing letters to the National Trust asking them to cancel the event. It will be a decade before we witness another one and taken as I am by all naturally occurring phenomena, this will be something I will greet with excitement. I remember where we were the last time – on Dartmoor, sitting with a couple of thousand others, picnic, coffee flask, Husband and Dog in tow. The cars lined the route across the moor, parked nose to tail between Bovey Tracey and Widcombe -in -the -Moor. A hundred or more climbed the Tors behind us and the air was full of excitement, tinged with apprehension - for even 20 th Century beings are not unaffected by extraordinary displays in creation, no matter how much we protest its ‘old hat’. Upper Kennet Churches Notice Board Silence descended on the moor as the sky darkened and the Baptism day moved to night with startling swiftness. The birds were Joseph Beverley Winterbourne Bassett 1 February stilled, their song absent, and voices died away.
