Published as: Rech, M and Yarwood, R (2019) Exploring post military geographies: Plymouth and the spatialities of Armed Forces Day in Woodward, R (ed) A Research Agenda for Military Geographies, Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, pp191-206 Introduction The concept of militarism recognises that society is economically, socially and culturally orientated towards accepting and supporting military power (Woodward 2005). To date, military geographers have largely concerned themselves with tracing the ways militarism has shaped particular landscapes, localities and economic spaces (Bateman and Riley 1987; Gold and Revell 2000; Woodward 2004, 2005). Post-WWII, the narrative in much of this scholarship has been geared toward understanding the expansion and consolidation of military presence in particular localities (often those that have little to no overlap with civilian spaces). Yet, since the end of the Cold War, there has been a profound reshaping of armed services as many nations have responded to the reduced threat of a conventional hot war in Europe.

In 1849 concerns were expressed about the ‘excess and immorality’ in the village occasioned by labourers frequenting beer houses.7 In 1855 the vestry meeting agreed to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction after a spate of burglaries in the parish.8 1 See landownership.

    DIO Delivers Critical Rehabilitation Facilities to the Royal Marines

    DIO Delivers Critical Rehabilitation Facilities to the Royal Marines The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) recently completed a new Physical and Remedial Training Centre for 40 Commando Royal Marines (40 Cdo RM ) at Norton Manor Camp in Somerset. Sarawak Gym, named in recognition of 40 Commando’s involvement in the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation from 1962 to 1966, was opened at an official ceremony by Lieutenant Colonel Matt Jackson Royal Marines, Commanding Officer 40 Commando Royal Marines. The new building delivered by DIO, working with regional industry partner Debut Services (South West) Limited, will provide essential modern sports facilities to support the physical well being of unit personnel. Also housed within the new building is a dedicated remedial suite to support the rehabilitation of injured Marines returning from overseas operations as well as those injured through the day to day rigours of training in the UK. These amenities replace the old facilities housed in a drill shed dating from the 1940s, built during the Second Word War. Positioned adjacent to the Medical and Dental Centre, also previously delivered by DIO and Debut in 2009, the new facilities will greatly improve efficiency and support provided to service personnel, allowing a speedy recovery back to operational fitness. This will in turn help improve the operational capability of 40 Cdo RM. Lieutenant Colonel Jackson, Commanding Officer 40 Cdo RM said: “This is a superb facility. 40 Commando, DIO and Debut have worked as a dedicated team to design and deliver a gymnasium from which all personnel serving at the Unit will benefit for many years to come.

Its helicopters flew a total of 2, hours in just over three weeks reflecting a remarkable rate of serviceability and flying. Landings started on 21 May under the codename Operation Sutton. Lieutenant Ken D Francis RM and his crewman, Lance Corporal Brett Giffin set off in Gazelle XX to search for them, but were hit by ground fire from a heavy machine gun and were killed instantly, the aircraft crashing on a hillside. Only Candlish survived. The bodies were recovered to SS Canberra, and when that ship was ordered to leave the Falklands and head for South Georgia, Evans, Francis and Giffin were buried at sea in a special service attended by many on board the liner. The REME technicians were able to repair the damage whilst still under constant air attack by Argentinian 'Skyhawk' and 'Mirage' ground attack jets but returned the aircraft for operational use.

    Economic History

    © University of London – Text by Dr Rosalind Johnson (edited by Mary Siraut) 1 ECONOMIC HISTORY Norton Fitzwarren was primarily an agricultural parish until the early 20th century, although in the 19th century increasing numbers of villagers were employed in other industries, particularly Norton Brewery and the bakery at Norton Mills. Taunton Cider was a major employer for much of the 20th century. AGRICULTURE Medieval Norton Fitzwarren was assessed at 5 hides in 1066 when it was worth £8. By 1086 it was worth £15. It had land for 10 ploughs, and in demesne had 3 ploughs and 6 slaves; and 13 villeins and 8 bordars with 8 ploughs. There were 25 a. of meadow and 40 a. of woodland, with 2 mills rendering 11s. 3d. The hamlet of Ford paid geld for half a hide in 1066 when it was worth 20s. In 1086 it was worth 30s. and had land for 1 plough with 2 bordars and 2 a. of meadow.1 Little is known of medieval farming in the parish, although a field system, probably dating from the 11th to 14th centuries, has been identified at Wick Lane,2 presumably including the field called ‘Wiklonde’ in 1386.3 Demesne lands called Steret, Shortalre and Colemannesleigh were recorded in accounts, which survive for c.1341–3.4 Land at Venhampton in the 14th century included 5 a. of meadow.5 Walter Stapeldon, bishop of Exeter, had a deer park at Norton Fitzwarren by 1315 and a building there was repaired in 1342—3.6 1 Domesday, 251. 2 M.
