  • Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2
    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being. The public rights of way network is key to enabling residents and visitors alike to access services and enjoy the beauty of Somerset’s diverse natural and built environment. Over the next few years, the focus is going to be chiefly on performing our statutory duties. However, where resources allow we will strive to implement the key priority areas of this 2nd Improvement Plan and make Somerset a place and a destination for enjoyable walking, riding and cycling.

  • Newsletter 2 Summer 2003
    SOMERSET HERALDRY SOCIETY Newsletter Summer 2003 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE This newsletter comes to you after about six months of Somerset Heraldry Society activity. We have had some very good talks and outings, some of which have been splendidly supported by the City of Bath Heraldry Soci- ety. Those who have attended have been very pleased with the talks and visits. Our membership numbers are encouraging, particularly for a new society, but we do need you to turn up and ‘enjoy’ with us. The Autumn programme is set out elsewhere in the newsletter and as you can see it is both full and varied. We have tried to ensure that members from all parts of the County can get to the meetings (at least some of the time!) I would also like to thank those members who have volunteered to serve on the Committee. We are few at present, so if anyone feels that they can join us, we will be pleased to welcome you. Ron Gadd Contact address: THE SOMERSET HERALDRY SOCIETY The Grammar House, The Hill, Langport, Somerset TA10 9PU Tel & Fax 01458 250868 email [email protected] 1 REPORT ON ACTIVITIES In the last six months we have had a number of meetings. In January An- thony Wood showed us a selection of his work and talked about his work under the title “Life of an Heraldic Art- ist”. This was greatly enjoyed and en- couraged 12 people to become founder members of the Society. In February, we held our first formal meeting and elected our committee before enjoying a different take on heraldry, when our new Chairman, Ron Gadd, gave us an idio- syncratic view of the subject.

    Geoscience in south-west England GOLDEN SPIKED! — THE UK’S FIRST GLOBAL STRATOTYPE SECTION AND POINT FOR A JURASSIC STAGE BOUNDARY, IN SOMERSET K. N. PAGE Page, K.N. 2001. Golden spiked! – The UK’s first Global Stratotype Section and Point for a Jurassic stage boundary, in Somerset. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 000-000. The Sinemurian Stage, the second in a contemporary Jurassic System, was first proposed by Alcide d’Orbigny in 1842 and named after Semur-en-Auxois in eastern France. As exposures in the historical type area are stratigraphically incomplete, the search for a suitable stratotype, at which to formally define the stage, commenced elsewhere. Attention turned to SW England, and ultimately the West Somerset coast, where a considerably expanded Hettangian-Lower Sinemurian sequence has been proved. Subsequent work on the ammonite faunas has also revealed a much more complete sequence of ammonite faunas than had been recorded anywhere else in Europe at this level – ultimately leading to exposures near East Quantoxhead being highlighted as a potential Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Sinemurian Stage. International multidisciplinary study then led to intensive sampling of the Quantoxhead sections documenting macro- and microfossil, gamma-ray and magnetostratigraphical changes across the stage boundary. The proposal was subsequently ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy at the IUGS Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) symposium in August 2000. The first UK Jurassic “Golden Spike” can now be driven, globally defining for the first time, the base of the Sinemurian division of geological time.

  • Greswell, W H P, the Quantocks and Their Place-Names, Part II, Volume 46
    De duantocks ana tfjeir BY WILLIAM H. P. GRESWELL. etymology of the Place-name, Quantock, anciently THEwritten Cantok, is an interesting but rather elusive " it full study. Some have derived from Gwantog," i.e., of " " openings or combes. Some have regarded Cant-ioc as a " " little in diminutive, meaning headlands ; Dr. Pring his " Briton and Roman on the site of Taunton," has suggested " " hill Cuan," Gaelic for hill, and Toich," country, i.e., the " country : some have playfully mentioned the old Quantum ab hoc," but no one, as far as I know, seems to have thought that Cantok, like Caer Caradoc, may have been named from a person. Crantock in Cornwall, and also in Cardigan is named from Carantacus, and this Saint, a contemporary of King Arthur, is connected with Carhampton according to Leland. At any rate, Carantacus was known under the Quantocks, and, if we desire to speculate, there is no reason why that well-known stone on Winsford Hill should not commemorate Carantacus. To come to more solid facts and documents, perhaps the ear- liest mention of Cantok is in the composite word Cantucudu, i.e., Cantok Wood, in Centwine's famous West Monkton Charter, " when he gave twenty-three mansiones to Glastonbury in loco juxta silvam famosam quae dicitur Cantucudu." This is dated A.D. 682, and the light it gives us is interesting. The fame of 126 Papers^ -c. this Cantok Wood, and of its goodly trees, was already known. The Charter of C entwine was subsequently confirmed by King Ina, the Saxon prince, who figures so largely in our local annals.

The broad purpose of an electoral review is to decide on the appropriate electoral arrangements – the number of councillors and the names, number and boundaries of wards or divisions – for a specific local authority. We are conducting an electoral review of West Somerset District Council to provide improved levels of electoral equality across the district. The review aims to ensure that the number of voters represented by each councillor is approximately the same. The Boundary Committee for England commenced the review in 2009. However, on 1 April 2010 the Local Government Boundary Commission for England assumed the functions of the Boundary Committee and is now conducting the review. It therefore falls to us to complete the work of the Boundary Committee. This review is being conducted as follows: Stage Stage starts Description One 27 October 2009 Submission of proposals to the Boundary Committee Two 19 January 2010 Boundary Committee’s analysis and deliberation Three 25 May 2010 Publication of draft recommendations and consultation on them Four 20 July 2010 Analysis of submissions received and formulation of final recommendations Draft recommendations In our draft recommendations, we proposed a council size of 28 members and a pattern of single, two- and three-member wards.
