There were four new trenches and extensions to two from previous years, together with the re-opening of Trench 9. The main results were a new and somewhat enigmatic building west of the villa; the enclosure wall confirmed even further west than this; increased support for the theory that there were at least three main periods of building on the villa site; further knowledge of the tiled base area found in 2009; and full understanding of the tile kiln (now sampled for archaeomagnetic dating) – with the discovery, very late in the dig, of evidence suggesting that it was standing on top of an earlier one. All objectives for the season were thus achieved, but with a considerable sting in the tail. A new trench (16) was placed to the west of the villa to explore the results of fieldwork by John Hampton in the 1960s, magnetometry previously carried out by Archaeology South East and test pitting in the spring. The line of a well-built flint wall foundation was found but with an odd configuration: there were two well-finished gaps either side of a 1.72m stretch of wall which had a covering tile course.

  • Tilford and Crooksbury Hill
    point your feet on a new path Tilford and Crooksbury Hill Distance: 10 km=6 miles easy-to-moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 9-sep-2013 Author: Schwebefuss Last update: 6-feb-2021 Refreshments: Charleshill, Tilford Map: Explorer 145 (Guildford) but the maps in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Hill, views, pines, village, pubs, woodland, heath In Brief This is a classic walk through heaths, birchwoods and pinewoods of the sandy parts of Surrey near the River Wey, with an easy climb to the summit of a well- known hill from which you have some of the best views in the county. There is a patch of nettles on this walk in summer so shorts may be unwise but otherwise any kind of attire should be fine. There are a few muddy patches on the path from Tilford, so you may prefer to wear waterproof footwear in a very wet season. There are no stiles and only a small stretch of road with no footway, so this walk would be fine for your dog. The walk begins at the Crooksbury Hill car park off Crooksbury Road, The Sands, near Farnham, Surrey, approximate postcode GU10 1RF , grid ref. SU877458. The car park is, down a short track diagonally off the road on the north side, under a bar. It now (2015) has a new sign Crooksbury Hill .

LockdownNew guest alesTake every-Aways month.available A touch of Irish charm at the heart of the village. 2 Rowledge Review From the Vicarage Each month I am faced with a blank page to fill and wonder what to write! Some of you might wish I’d leave it blank, but some of you are kind enough to say that, just occasionally my ramblings are useful. Although we didn’t then know it, when I wrote for the Review this time last year, we were just about to enter the first national lockdown. Most of us were very uncertain as to what lay ahead, although the experts were extremely concerned, and rightly so. Here we are, 12 months later with 4.22 million cases of the virus in the UK alone and tragically, 125,000 deaths attributed to COVID 19. However, in the face of such suffering, we have seen immense acts of sacrificial courage and service from so many in our remarkable NHS, schools, colleges and universities and in the voluntary sector. It seems to me that the Easter themes of darkness and light are especially poignant this year. On Good Friday, Christians reflect on the death of Jesus of Nazareth on a cross outside Jerusalem. The gospel writer Luke records that, at the moment of Jesus death, even though it was about midday, “darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun’s light failed…” (Luke 23: 44).

  • Land Availability Assessment (LAA), and Any Other Report Relating to the Findings of the LAA, the Council Makes the Following Disclaimer Without Prejudice
    Waverley Borough Council Land Availability Assessment November 2020 1 WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL LAND AVAILABILITY ASSESSMENT OCTOBER 2020 IMPORTANT NOTICE – DISCLAIMER In relation to the information contained within the Waverley Borough Council Land Availability Assessment (LAA), and any other report relating to the findings of the LAA, the Council makes the following disclaimer without prejudice: The LAA only identifies sites. It does not allocate sites to be developed. The Council will decide the allocation of sites for future housing and economic development through the Local Plan. The identification of potential development sites within the LAA does not imply that the Council would necessarily grant planning permission for residential or economic development. All planning applications incorporating residential or economic development will continue to be considered against the appropriate policies in the development plan and having regard to any other material considerations. The LAA considers sites across the whole of the Borough, however in areas where Neighbourhood Plans will be allocating sites, Neighbourhood Plan Groups may produce their own Town/Parish specific LAA in which the assessment of sites may differ from those contained within this document. The inclusion of potential housing or economic development sites within the study does not preclude them from being considered for other purposes. The boundaries of sites are based on the information available at the time. The LAA does not limit an extension or contraction of these boundaries for the purpose of a planning application. The exclusion of sites from the study i.e. because they were not identified, does not preclude the possibility of planning permission for residential or economic development being granted on them.
