Unsurprisingly the favourite sound was birdsong. A spokesman for the RSPB said that the human ear was naturally tuned to birdsong which was why many people found it a gentle and enjoyable sound by which to be woken. What was perhaps more surprising was that the second sound on the list was church bells. This shows how much the tradition of ringing is still appreciated by so much of the population.

Robert Pearson Robert Pearson 10 May 1954- 23 December 2013: A Eulogy read at his funeral 13 January 2014 Robert began working at the Wiltshire Record Office (as it was then) as a volunteer in 2002. I met him on his first visit and was immediately struck by his enthusiasm, knowledge, particularly of English history and family history, and commitment, not least evident by the length of his daily commute. I set about finding him indexing work, that was both worthwhile and stimulating; this included work on the clergy ordination papers from the late 17th century. Fortuitously at about the same time I was contacted by a friend who was looking for researchers to work on the records of the diocese of Salisbury for a new project that he was setting up: the Clergy of the Church of England database, which is now a major resource for historians. This work suited Robert perfectly and he maintained his contact with the project undertaking the valuable linkage work long after the completion of the initial research.

  • WILTSHIRE BOTANY Journal of the Wiltshire Botanical Society
    WILTSHIRE BOTANY Journal of the Wiltshire Botanical Society Issue No. 2, February 1999 CONTENTS 1 Editorial 2 An early history of Batology in Wiltshire Rob Randall 13 Bryophytes in Wiltshire Rod Stern 16 Identifying Wiltshire Umbelliferae John Presland 25 Wiltshire river channel flora in the 1990s Jack Oliver 39 Plant records 1996 Wiltshire Botany 2, 1999, page 1 EDITORIAL It is encouraging that Issue No 2 of Wiltshire Botany is appearing fifteen months after Issue No 1. The submission of sufficient articles to achieve this gives hope for long-term survival of the journal. Jack Oliver's article on river channel flora provides a link with the previous issue, where survey work on riverside plants was reported. Recording was at the same sites on Wiltshire rivers for both articles, and the two together provide a comprehensive picture of the current vegetation. Two other articles also relate to recording projects, but with two groups of plants that are less well-known. Rob Randall describes the early history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account takes us up to the time of the First World War. It is hoped that a follow-up article will cover progress since then. Rod Stern summarises the current distribution of Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) in the Vc8 part of Wiltshire which is emerging during work on the projected Bryophyte Atlas for the County. Recording requires identification, and John Presland provides a key for identifying Wiltshire Umbelliferae (also known as Apiaceae) which he hopes will make the process easier for what is often thought of as a difficult family.

    ALDBOURNE NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2020 to 2036 WORKING DRAFT VERSION 7: July 2020 1 WORKING DRAFT VERSION 6 CONTENTS LIST Foreword Section 1 Introduction and Background Section 2 Introduction to Aldbourne Section 3 Vision and Objectives Section 4 Approach to Development Section 5 Policies and Site Allocations Section 6 Projects Appendices Evidence Summary Pre-application Protocol Figures 2 WORKING DRAFT VERSION 6 Foreword ‘... [my book] is an attempt to present the picture of a village, set in an isolated position among the Wiltshire downs, that has developed and maintained through a long period of time a sturdy independence and a strong life of its own; a village that has survived hard times and prospered again ... a village with a heart that still beats soundly.’ From The Heart of Village – an Intimate History of Aldbourne by Ida Gandy, published in 1975. Our Plan has been produced by the Steering Group, with the support of the Parish Council, using the views of local residents. The Steering Group has consulted and listened to the community and local organisations on a wide range of issues that will influence the well-being, sustainability and long term preservation of our community. Every effort has been made to ensure that the views and policies contained in this document reflect the views of Aldbourne parish residents. Some of the key benefits of our Plan are to: • Protect the parish from uncontrolled or poorly placed development; • Provide the analysis regarding future development required by the Wiltshire Council Local Plan at locations preferred by the community; • Ensure that development is sympathetic to and improved the look and feel of the parish; • Take steps to give residents preferred access to affordable homes and homes suitable for downsizing.

  • Music in Marlborough FEBRUARYAUGUST 20172018 1
    Old Year, New Year Music in Marlborough FEBRUARYAUGUST 20172018 1 THE MAGAZINE OF MARLBOROUGH'S COMMUNITY AND CHURCHES NUMBER 68 AUGUST 2018 Music in Marlborough In describing the impressive array of musical opportunities at Marlborough College, Philip Dukes notes the important role music plays in engendering a “strong cultural heart”. This applies, I think, not only to the college but to the whole town of Marl- borough; we are lucky to live in a town with so much music in it and this edition of the magazine can only provide a snapshot of music in Marlborough. However, I hope it gives a flavour of the town’s musical life, the most notable aspect of which must be the Marlborough International Jazz Festival, now sadly come to an end. Nick Fogg pays personal tribute. Kate Pooley and Luke Smith describe how music enriches their life and Samuel Robinson the excitement of hear- ing great music for the first time. Alan Pryor tells us of the joys of singing in the Community Choir, continuing in spite of the sad loss of Vanessa Lafaye, and we hear from two promotors: Andrew Bumphrey on grassroots music and Robin Pritchard on Marlborough Rising filling the town with music. On a different note (excuse the pun) Lilli Loveday tells us how her time at St John’s influenced her life choices. My thanks to everyone who contributed so willingly and entertainingly. I hope you enjoy this taster of Marlborough’s music. Sarah Bumphrey- Editor Front cover:Front Marlborough Cover:: Cowslips Community Choir Compiler: AnnabelleHugh de Saram Jarjis ProofProof readers: readers: Mike Mike Jackson Jackson, and Julia Peel 1 The Jazz Festival: Nick Fogg Well, it lasted 30 years and became the biggest event of its kind in England.
