Clje \Bvesitismt, AND TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OP THE PLYMOUTH ATHENAEUM, THIS ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE ONE OP THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DISTRICTS OF £0uti) Btban, IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED, WITH THE AUTHOR'S BEST WISHES FOR THE INCREASING PROSPERITY OF €f)Z Iitftttuttfftu PREFACE. In presenting to the public a new edition of this Sketch, a few words may, perhaps, be expected from me ; and I offer them the more willingly since it is my duty to acknowledge here the sources of my information. The following pages have been wholly re-written, and now contain more than ten times as much matter as the first Edition,—although that impression has been twice pirated. It is hoped that the change will prove valuable to the tourist. Topography is not a light field, and if this attempt to give to a local work a tone of general and scientific interest be not successful, I trust that others will at least profit by the example. Had more time and op- portunities been allowed to me, the book might have been more interesting and perfect ; but it already exceeds the limits of other similar pub- lications, and if it transgresses in this particular, it will not fail to enjoy the countenance of good company. The assistance I have derived from many literary and scientific friends has added much to its value, and the most pleasing office is to return thanks for this kindness. To the Yl. PREFACE Venerable Archdeacon Froude, to the Rev. H. F. Lyte of Brixham, to the Rev. Roger Mallock of Cockington Court, to Henry Cary. Esq. of Tor Abbey, and to the Rev. Robert Gee of this place, for I am indebted much interesting intelligence ; —and to Archdeacon Froude and Mr. Lyte, in particular^ for many valuable directions how to proceed in the course of my inquiries. To Dr. James Clark of London, the Author of the Treatise on the Influence of Climate, my acknow- ledgments are due for the obliging mariner in which he revised that part of the work which his volume so ably illustrates; and the Rev. George Oliver of Exeter, and Mr. Brown of London are no less entitled to my thanks—the former for his aid and exertions in the arduous field of Ecclesiastical Antiquities—the latter for his constant instructions on the subject of Ancient Architecture. Nor must I omit to mention the aid afforded me by the Rev. J. M. Glubb of Dartmouth,—Henry Woollcombe, Esq. Pre- sident of the Plymouth Athenaeum,—William Brockedon, Esq. of London,—and J. M. Rendel, Esq. Civil Engineer. But above all are to be mentioned the obligations under which I am laid by the assistance and contributions of Mrs. Griffiths and Thomas Northmore, Esq. The article on Natural History will be acceptable to ail, containing, as it does, the most recent of PREFACE Vll. Mrs. Griffiths's truly beautiful discoveries in the difficult department of marine botany : —Mr. Northmore's Letters will also be perused with lively interest, while the opinions which they advance wiH sufficiently speak for themselves. They will also show how necessary is the inquiry after truth, and how often men rise to fame on the discoveries of others. It is the Author's most earnest hope that the introduction of scientific subjects into the work may be well received : it must not be forgotten that the local histories of Switzerland are far superior to those of England in this respect ; and although I regret that it is not in my power, at present, to render the Geological Sketch more perfect, an apology will scarcely be required by those who know how much this neighbourhood is deficient in philosophic energy. Nor was it possible to define more accurately every part of the district on the small scale of the Geo- logical Map; but it appeared more desirable to give a general outline from De la Beche, although diminutive, than to omit it altogether. A few words may be said of the Illustrations. The artist of the Lithographs has incorrectly lettered the ruins of the Church and Chapter House at Tor Abbey "Entrance" and "Ruins of the Chapel)' and has unfortunately omitted to insert in the Vignette Title Page the name Vlll PREFACE of Mr, Gendall of Exeter, by whom it was first painted,—and to whom I now beg to restore the justice he deserves. For the Sketch of lis am Cell (engraved, along with all the wood cuts, by Hearder, of Plymouth) we are indebted to Mr. T. H. Williams,—those of the Doorway and Pulpit at Paignton were reduced from the drawings of Mr. Brown. There are a few typographical errors, but they will be readily detected, with the exception of the misprint of towns instead of houses at page 120 of Mr. Northmore's Letter. None but those who have experienced what Miss Landon calls the awful reality of a proof-sheet, can form any idea of the difficulty of getting a work through the press of a small provincial town, without these occasional inaccuracies. I trust, however, as no pains have been spared in the work, that the inhabitants of Torquay will receive this volume as the parting gift of the Author, with his best good wishes for their prosperity and for the welfare of their beautiful town. O. B. Torquay, Sept. 1832. Erratum. It is incorrectly stated at page 68, that Livermead House is a boarding establishment ; now, we beg to remark that it is simply a lodging house, and must be regarded as such. The Author will feel obliged by the correction of any other errors which may have occurred in the work. — ; CONTENTS AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF €1)Z Panorama at QCavquxyi. Introduction.

  • Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal
    Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal Conservation Areas are usually located in the older parts of our towns and villages. They are places whose surviving historic, architectural and locally distinctive features make them special. Conservation area designation highlights the need to preserve and reinforce these qualities. The policies followed by the District Council when assessing proposals affecting conservation areas are set out in the South Hams Local Development Framework, while the Supplementary Planning Document ‘New Work in Conservation Areas’ explains how to achieve compliance with them. This is essential because the Council has a statutory duty to approve proposals only if they “preserve or enhance the character or appearance” of the conservation area. The purpose of this appraisal is to set out what makes the Dartmouth Conservation Area special, what needs to be conserved and what needs to be improved. Four extensions to the conservation area are proposed and described The contents are based on an earlier draft Conservation Area Appraisal prepared for the District Council in 1999. January 2013 Dartmouth Dartmouth Conservation Area: Summary of Special Interest The position of Dartmouth at the mouth of the river Dart is of such strategic military and commercial importance, and its sheltered natural harbour so perfect, that it developed into an important town from the Middle Ages on, despite being inaccessible to wheeled transport until the 19th century. The advent of Victoria Road, Newcomen Road and later, College Way may have changed all that, but much of the character of the ancient, pedestrian town has survived. While it addresses the water, Dartmouth is a town of intimate spaces, unexpected flights of steps or pathways and steep, narrow streets with architectural jewels like St Saviours Church or the houses of the Butterwalk set amongst them.

  • The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A Growing, Joy-Filled Christian Presence at the Heart of Our Communities'
    The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A growing, joy-filled Christian presence at the heart of our communities' www.dartmouthanddittisham.co.uk The deep, sheltered waters of Dartmouth’s harbour offered destiny; with both hands, its medieval people grasped it. The sea was a thoroughfare for Englishmen setting out on the religious and secular wars of medieval times, and its harbour lent the town national importance. From here, men went off to the three crusades; they went on pilgrimages from here to Santiago de Compostela. Dartmouth an Enchanted Place, Joselin Fiennes, 2013 A Shipman was ther, woninge fer by weste; For ught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe. Chaucer, Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. The place of the church within this beautiful town and charming village is as vibrant and central as it was in the fourteenth century. Image courtesy of Shaunagh Radcliffe 1 ARCHDEACON’S FOREWORD Geographically, the parishes of Dartmouth and Dittisham occupy some of the most strikingly beautiful coastal and river scenery in England. Their ancient maritime and civic traditions give them exceptional historic significance. Britannia Royal Naval College is a prominent feature of Dartmouth in every sense. But it is as diverse communities with a strong desire for the pastoral ministry of the Church of England, with healthy, mission-minded parish churches operating in a classically Anglican tradition of worship and service, that these two parishes offer exceptional opportunities for a gifted priest to make a difference as their next Vicar. He or she will have strong foundations on which to build, in a benefice where leadership and oversight have been offered to a high standard over the past decade.

  • May 2021.Cdr
    Parish Magazine Ashprington Cornworthy Dittisham May 2021 Away with the Fairies in 1917. My three year old granddaughter Lily loves fairy stories and so, apparently, did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. He totally believed in the Cottingley Fairies. In 1917 two talented cousins, Elsie Wright (16) and Frances Griffiths (9), borrowed their father's camera and went down through the bottom of the garden to Cottingley Beck, a stream near Bradford in Yorkshire. There Elsie took five photographs, beautifully composed, showing her cousin Frances watching with a rapt expression a group of fairy folk dancing in front of her. Other photographs showed fairies flying around and a gnome on the grass. The whole process took about half an hour. Such was the skill of the girls' composition that Elsie's mother believed that the little figures really were fairies. Her father, who developed the images, did not believe they were real and considered that the girls had used cardboard cut outs of fairies in the photographs. He refused to lend them his camera again. Elsie's mother Polly was a Theosophist. She went to a meeting in Bradford which happened to be about fairies. She told the president of the Harrogate Theosophists, Edward Gardner, about the photographs and he examined them. Having pronounced them genuine he later contacted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a well known Spiritualist, who was writing a piece on fairies for the 1920 Christmas edition of the Strand Magazine. Doyle was totally convinced that the images were real and asked permission to use them in his article.

Purchased by the Library Company, 1880. 4 n July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up “Articles of Agreement” to Ofound a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to set- tle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative li- brary, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each cre- ated the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder’s library.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.
