The programme builds on the previous format, and adds a management-focussed element by including an (optional) discussion and site visit with the manager of the largest part of the pebblebed heaths in private ownership. The focus of this year’s reunion will be on heathlands and the coastal landslips of the NNR, but the Jurassic Coast offers many other attractions, particularly to the east towards Swanage. This letter explains the details of the programme for the reunion together with the costs etc., and the booking arrangements. We should be grateful if you would return the attached booking and menu selection forms to us, with your payment, as soon as possible, and by Friday 29 April 2016 at the latest.

Practicalities Payment The cost of the three-course dinner at The Blue Ball Inn, including coffee, mints and gratuities, but excluding drinks, will be £30.00. NB: The £8 annual subscription is due on July 1st. Payment by Standing Order is best for the Club and, if you don’t already pay in this way, a mandate is available on the website. You can of course continue to pay the treasurer direct or you can add your annual subscription to your reunion booking cheque if you prefer. Accommodation This area of East Devon and West Dorset is an important holiday destination, so there is no shortage of accommodation of all types and prices. For members travelling a long way to the meeting, and for most of those planning to attend the optional session with Clinton Devon Estates on the first morning, two nights’ accommodation will be necessary. When booking accommodation, do bear in mind the practicalities of getting between our different site visits and dinner venue. The best sources of information about accommodation, as well as other attractions and places of interest in the area, are listed towards the end of this letter. Maps and guidance The reunion area is covered by the 1:50,000 OS Landranger Maps No 192 (Exeter and Sidmouth) and 193 (Taunton and Lyme Regis) and 1:25,000 Explorer Maps No 115 (Exmouth and Sidmouth) and 116 (Lyme Regis and Bridport). Grid references are provided for all our venues, and postcodes are provided (for use in satnavs) where possible. Travel The area we will be visiting is, unfortunately, not easily accessible by public transport. The distance between the sites we will be visiting is some 27 miles, with the venue for dinner approximately halfway between the two. Protective Clothing and Footwear Rain is a possibility, even in June, so you should bring waterproofs. It is also possible that it will be hot, so water, a hat, and sun cream are all essential. Appropriate footwear will be important, particularly for the second day of the meeting, when the walk is more challenging and we recommend that members who sometimes use walking poles should bring them. Landslips The area that we will be visiting has experienced many landslips in the past and it is possible that further such activity may occur immediately before, or even during, our visit. Members are advised to be cautious when walking on uneven ground. Walk leaders will take responsibility for any necessary changes to routes or emergency action. 3 Ticks Ticks are known to be a problem in the areas that we will be visiting. At the end of each day, we recommend that you check your body for them, and perhaps bring a tick-remover with you. Local attractions, places of interest and useful websites Blue Ball Inn, Sidford www.blueballinnsidford.co.uk, 01395 514062. The new ‘Seaton Jurassic’ interpretation centre (http://www.seatonjurassic.org) is planned to open in spring 2016. One of the key attractions of this area, which it has not proved possible to incorporate into the programme, because of the state of the tides on the days of the meeting, is the internationally important geology of the beach.

  • X.—On the Chalk and Sands Beneath It {Usually Termed Green-Sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of St Andrews on March 24, 2015 X.—On the Chalk and Sands beneath it {usually termed Green-sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon. BY H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.R., L. and G. S.S., ETC. [Read December 16th, 1825.] XN presenting' an account of the manner in which the above rocks occur in. the vicinity of Lyme Regis and Beer, I by no means wish to engage in the discussion which has arisen respecting Green-sand; but merely to describe the rocks, as they exist in that neighbourhood. At the same time, I consider it as much to be regretted, that some general term is not given to the sands, marls, and clays which occur beneath the Chalk, as has been done in the case of the Oolite formation: the various parts might then be distinguished by different specific names, and there would be no more impropriety in grouping the Green and Ferruginous sands together, than in uniting under one term the various members of the Oolite formation, and distinguishing them by the names of Great and Inferior oolite, Kimmeridge and Oxford clays*, &c. Some such arrangement as this would prevent much uncertainty: for at pre­ sent when the term Green-sand is used alone, without further distinction, we may be led to confound two different things. Moreover, we are in want of a general appellation by which to denote these rocks collectively; for we are not to suppose that all the small divisions that may be made in this collection of sands, marls, and clays in the east of England, can be traced into other and distant countries, where, however, the sands, &c., as a mass may be easily recognised.

  • Final Conference Abstracts
    The Jurassic Coast – geoscience and education The Geologists’ Association Annual Conference 21st October 2016 ABSTRACTS Abstracts World Heritage – a global context Tim Badman The presentation will outline briefly the main goals of the World Heritage Convention, and how these have developed since the Dorset and East Devon Coast was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001. The presentation will speak to the early ambitions for the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site when it was first listed, what has been achieved since, and how the Jurassic Coast can contribute to advancing World Heritage internationally. Amongst the issues discussed will be the role of World Heritage in geoscience and education, the defining of international approaches to conservation of geodiversity, and the relationship to the new programme of UNESCO on Global Geoparks. Defining the Permian in Devon Richard Scrivener and Sarita E. McVicar Wright The outcrop of the New Red Sandstone in Devon extends along the coast from Torbay to the east of Branscombe. In the 19th Century, the precise stratigraphical position of these rocks was a matter of conjecture: in 1876, W.A.E. Ussher considered them to be entirely Triassic, but by 1912 he had modified this and placed the rocks from Torbay to Exmouth in the Permian, with the Permian/Triassic (PT) boundary at the base of the ‘Lower Marls’ (now Aylesbeare Group). In the later part of the 20th Century, detailed mapping divided the Permian of Devon into an early succession separated by a considerable hiatus from a mid- to late Permian succession. More recently, geochronological work has demonstrated the breccias in the Torbay area to be of earliest Permian age.

  • Harcombe Farm, Uplyme
    https://www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk/research Harcombe Farm, Uplyme Graham Davies, November 2020 Harcombe Farm was included as one of the 70 display boards in the Farming in the Lim Valley exhibition held in Uplyme Village Hall in May 2008. The exhibition was researched and curated by Museum volunteers Ken Gollop, also a trustee, and Graham Davies, a retired veterinary surgeon. The author has carried out further research for this article. This 1970s photo of Harcombe Farm shows several of the original buildings from the farmstead that was built in the 1840s. The annotation refers to their use at that time. Timeline Harcombe farm is situated in Harcombe Bottom, Uplyme, Devon, which is about 2 miles, across the parish and 1848-54 John Freeman Snr county boundaries, from Lyme Regis in Dorset. In most of 1855-69 John Freeman Jnr the 19th century and early part of the 20th century, the land 1869-73 John Wyatt was part of the Rhode Hill estate owned by the Talbot 1874-81 George Spurle family. In 1840 Admiral Sir John Talbot GCB owned 536 1884-85 Walter Phippen acres of land in the parish of Uplyme together with further 1887-88 Mr W H Spiller ‘right of access’ to common land. There is no indication that 1891 Richard Cole ‘Harcombe Farm’ existed at that time. Over 300 acres of 1899 Cecil Cole the land was farmed ‘in-hand’ by the estate. 1901 John Pinney 1903-15 Thomas G Bowditch A change in estate policy led to the creation of Harcombe 1919-23 George Williams Farm: a farmstead with over 300 acres of land.

  • Why Lyme Regis? T :Li
    Why Lyme Regis? t :Li PETER W. GRAHAM Peter W. Graham is Clifford Cutchins Professor of English at Virginia Tech. He is presently at work on a study comparing the writings, sensibilities, lives, and cultural contexts of Jane Austen and Charles Darwin. Persuasion is a novel with four principal settings, two rural, one urban, and one neither: Kellynch, Uppercross, Bath, and Lyme Regis. I aim to offer some answers to the question of why the fourth is indispensable to Persuasion. Lyme’s situation is part, but only part, of the answer. A coastal town at the western edge of Dorset 17 miles from Uppercross, Lyme Regis is the seaside resort closest to the Musgroves’ part of Somersetshire. Captain Wentworth’s friends Harville and Benwick currently lodge there, though Austen could have located them on any stretch of the southern seacoast—just as she could have situated the Elliot and Musgrove families in many other neighborhoods or counties. But convenience, seaside location, and friends in fairly easy reach are not the only reasons, and perhaps not even the main ones, for Jane Austen to select it as the Uppercross party’s destination. A careful look shows that Lyme, much more than a happily located seaport, has rich personal, historical, natural, and cultural associations that allow it to serve Austen’s purposes in various ways. Let’s begin with a short history of the town, then consider Jane Austen’s associations with it, and finally look at how it figures in Persuasion. The town of Lyme, lying at the mouth of the river Lym, occupies some of the most geologically unstable land in Britain.

  • The Quaternary Rivers of the Jurassic Coast Region: from the Neogene to the Anthropocene
    1 The Quaternary Rivers of the Jurassic Coast Region: from the Neogene to the Anthropocene A. G. Browna, L. S. Basellb, P. S. Tomsc a Geography & Environment, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK b Archaeology & Palaeoecology, School of Natural and Built Environment, Queens University, Belfast BT7 1NN, UK c Luminescence dating laboratory, School of Natural and Social Sciences, University of Gloucestershire, Swindon Road, Cheltenham GL50 4AZ UK Abstract The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Sites (JCWHS) is not only a 95 km long coastline and remarkable Mesozoic geological section, but also a slice through a Quaternary landscape. For the majority of the last two million years this landscape lay in the periglacial zone, just south of a waxing and waning ice margin and just north of an Atlantic inlet which eventually became the English Channel. This paper reviews how the previous landscape inherited from the Cenozoic, was modified through uplift, climatically driven fluvial activity and periglaciation. Much evidence of this Quaternary history can be been today in sections along the JCWHS coast which is cuts through a number of headwater valleys the largest of which are the Exe and Axe. Recent studies, largely funded from the Aggregate Levy Tax, have produced the first independent chronologies for the Exe and Axe valleys and a model of how periglaciation interacted with the layer-cake stratigraphy of the Mesozoic bedrocks of the JCWHS. The Quaternary history of the JCWHS is also preserved in raised beaches on the Isle of Portland, coastal landforms, and in Holocene alluvial sediments associated with human activity and which may constitute part of the putative Anthropocene.
