  • PH 'Wessex White Horses'
    Notes from a Preceptor’s Handbook A Preceptor: (OED) 1440 A.D. from Latin praeceptor one who instructs, a teacher, a tutor, a mentor “A horse, a horse and they are all white” Provincial Grand Lodge of Wiltshire Provincial W Bro Michael Lee PAGDC 2017 The White Horses of Wessex Editors note: Whilst not a Masonic topic, I fell Michael Lee’s original work on the mysterious and mystical White Horses of Wiltshire (and the surrounding area) warranted publication, and rightly deserved its place in the Preceptors Handbook. I trust, after reading this short piece, you will wholeheartedly agree. Origins It seems a perfectly fair question to ask just why the Wiltshire Provincial Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter decided to select a white horse rather than say the bustard or cathedral spire or even Stonehenge as the most suitable symbol for the Wiltshire Provincial banner. Most continents, most societies can provide examples of the strange, the mysterious, that have teased and perplexed countless generations. One might include, for example, stone circles, ancient dolmens and burial chambers, ley lines, flying saucers and - today - crop circles. There is however one small area of the world that has been (and continues to be) a natural focal point for all of these examples on an almost extravagant scale. This is the region in the south west of the British Isles known as Wessex. To our list of curiosities we can add yet one more category dating from Neolithic times: those large and mysterious figures dominating our hillsides, carved in the chalk and often stretching in length or height to several hundred feet.

The route through Broad Town………… Page 3 3. Condition Summary……………………... Page 6 4. Route status in detail……………………. Page 7 5. List of tasks required………........……… Page 28 6. Appendix A ………………………………. Page 29 1. Introduction The White Horse Trail is a c90 mile circular way-marked long distance walking trail. It was originally created in 2000 by Wiltshire Ramblers with assistance from Wiltshire Council. The route passes through Pewsey, Marlborough, Broad Town, Cherhill, Devizes, Steeple Ashton and Bratton providing views of eight white horses which are cut into the turf of the chalk hillsides of Wiltshire. The walk runs through some beautiful Wiltshire countryside and also visits fascinating historical sites such as Avebury Stones and Silbury Hill. Other highlights include the Landsdowne Monument near the Cherhill White Horse and there is a long waterside section along the Kennet and Avon Canal through Devizes. The Trail nominally starts at the Westbury White Horse, although the route can be picked up at any point. Guides are available to walk the trail in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. This survey was carried out on the Broad Town section as if walking the route in the clockwise direction. 2 2. The route through Broad Town Travelling the route clockwise, the White Horse Trail enters the parish of Broad Town from Clyffe Pypard. Clyffe Pypard path number CPYP11, joins BTOW8, a bridleway, at grid ref. SU084773. This joins the public road at the top of Thornhill and uses Pye Lane, crosses the B4041 then Chapel Lane turning right at the end of Chapel Lane and continuing up Horns Lane.

If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.
