Welcome to the Festival Welcome to ‘Momentum’, this year’s Art Weeks Festival in Somerset. Our members and the Somerset Art Works’ Team have put together a fantastic event with 116 venues throughout the county and involving more than 350 artists. This is a great showcase for contemporary arts and crafts in Somerset with wide ranging passions and skills on display. The majority of the shows, events and projects are initiated by our members, many with invited artists from outside Somerset. They reflect the huge variety work produced - from ceramics to sculpture - and the area’s activities: farming, quarrying, willow production and more. Somerset’s landscape and wildlife feature too. The Mendips and Levels illustrate the contrasting landscapes, linked by plenty of ancient and modern history, that have given inspiration to generations of Somerset artists. The SAW team embraced the curatorial task to create new commissions in different media and locations in Somerset. Working with artists and partners, they have put together some exceptional projects on the theme of Momentum such as Gather-ing (venue 35) and Momentum Commissions (venues 34, 63, 96).

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Aust to Brean Down Report ABD 10: Brean Down Sluice to Brean Down Fort Part 10.1: Introduction Start Point: Brean Cross Sluice (grid reference: ST 3086 5623) End Point: Brean Down Fort (grid reference: ST 2806 5929) Relevant Maps: ABD 10a to ABD 10e 10.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Aust and Brean Down. 10.1.2 This report covers length ABD 10 of the stretch, which is the coast between Brean Cross Sluice and Brean Down Fort. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 10.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Leighonmendip PARISH PLAN 2006 2 History to Present
    2.0 HISTORICAL VILLAGE TO THE CURRENT DAY 2.1 History The Parish of Leigh on Mendip lies on the north facing slopes of the Mendip Hills approximately half way between the market towns of Frome and Shepton Mallet. The actual village of Leigh on Mendip is a linear settlement running east to west on a plateau of carboniferous limestone called the Mendip Plateau. There is evidence of human activity dating back to pre-Roman times. Prior to the expansion of Halecombe quarry, there were signs of flint working in the area but, with the obliteration of the evidence, it is not known whether the material being worked was a small, localised, igneous intrusion (as at Moonshill quarry, Stoke St. Michael) or material imported to the site. Pottery shards have also been discovered in the area. 1 First mention of the area of land we now know as Leigh on Mendip is in a record from Glastonbury Abbey dated 681 AD chronicling the gift of land by Hedda, Bishop of Winchester to the Abbey. The parish is referred to as Luntocae – in fact a very Roman sounding name – and probably the source of the pronunciation of the name “Leigh” to this day. As far as documentary evidence is concerned using the modern name, the earliest document to mention Leigh on Mendip is a charter by King Edmund dated 942 AD granting land to Glastonbury Abbey. The Parish of Leigh on Mendip was part of that land and remained so until the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530’s. At that time, Glastonbury Abbey was the most powerful and wealthy religious institution in England.

  • MENDIP BUTTERFLY PROJECT a SOARING SUCCESS Somerset Wildlife Trust Has Now Successfully Completed Its Year-Long 'Making Space
    MENDIP BUTTERFLY PROJECT A SOARING SUCCESS Somerset Wildlife Trust has now successfully completed its year-long ‘Making Space for Butterflies in Mendip’ project with Aggregate Industries (AI), which worked to improve butterfly habitat and food sources in the Mendip Hills area. Thanks to a £22,000 grant from The Wildlife Trusts and AI’s Local Partnerships Fund, a range of grassland and woodland habitat restoration work, including woodland ride management, thinning, hedgelaying, coppicing and fencing works, has been carried out at Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Cheddar Wood Nature Reserve and at wildflower grasslands around Aggregate Industries’ Torr Quarry. Opening up woodland rides and glades, thinning woodland, and the traditional management technique of coppicing are all important ways of enhancing the structural diversity of the woodland. This work ensures there are areas of older denser woodland, as well as newer growth and areas that are opened up to allow more light into woodland rides and glades. Volunteers coppicing hazel in Cheddar Wood This allows woodland plants and flowers to flourish, which are essential for supporting Mendip woodland butterflies and other invertebrates. Having all these different habitats within the same woodland allow it to support a larger range of wildlife including fungi, mosses and lichens, small mammals, invertebrates and birds. The coppicing volunteer days also provided training in traditional woodland skills for nine long-term unemployed volunteers from partner organisation Osprey Outdoors CIC. Thinning and ride-opening works carried out at Cheddar Wood. In East Mendip, removing dense bramble and installing fencing on grasslands close to Torr Works Quarry has enabled grazing to be reintroduced.
