  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Wiltshire Yews an Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Nadder Valley
    Wiltshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Nadder Valley. By Peter Norton 1 Introduction: This report is the third of five observations of churchyard Yews in and around the rivers Wylye, Ebble, Nadder and Bourne that converge with the Wiltshire / Hampshire Avon as it flows through the Salisbury area. The River Nadder is the most substantial of the Avon tributaries, rising around Donhead St Mary and Charlton within the Vale of Wardour and then flowing through some of the prettiest countryside in southern England, twisting and turning amongst the peaceful Wiltshire sheep meadows. During the course of its 22 miles the Nadder grows in size until it flows through Wilton House grounds where a fine Palladian Bridge straddles the river. Just outside of the grounds the Nadder and Wylye converge at Quidhampton. The Wylye then loses its identity and the Nadder flows its last few miles before converging with the Avon near to Salisbury Cathedral Close. All of the towns and villages along this route were included, with thirty four churchyards visited. Of these twenty five contained yews, and although many of those mentioned are small in stature compared to some of the veterans already recorded within the Yew Gazetteer, it was felt that, as time progresses, these younger trees will become our future giants for the next generations of yew enthusiasts. A total of one hundred and twenty nine trees were noted at these sites of which forty five had measurements recorded. (See graph below which has been grouped by girth and does not include any estimated* values.) Imperial measurements were taken during the recording exercise but converted to metric.

  • 4. the WILTSHIRE RIOTS12 the Wiltshire Labourers Like Those In
    4. THE WILTSHIRE RIOTS12 The Wiltshire labourers like those in other counties were drawn into the riots by the activities emanating in neighbouring Hampshire and Berkshire. But they also had their own particular local grievances which served as an immediate spur to action. The wages demanded in these counties were 2s. a day, whereas the demands in Kent and usually in Sussex had been for 2s 6d or 2s. 3d. Wages had fallen to a lower level in Hampshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Wages in Wiltshire were notoriously low. The normal weekly rate for an able bodied man in full employment in Wiltshire was 7s.or 8s in winter or 8s or 9s in summer, and Colonel Mair, the second officer sent down by the Home Office, reported that wages were sometimes as low as 6s. It is therefore not surprising to learn that in two parishes the labourers instead of asking for 2s a day, asked only for 8s or 9s a week. A letter to The Times from Melksham Wilts at the end of November claimed that there were fifty poor men in the parish without wife or children who were working for 8d per day. Henry Hunt, an MP, who traveled through Wiltshire related how he was told on 20 November “We don‟t want to do any mischief, but we want that poor children when they go to bed should have a full belly of tatoes instead of crying with half a belly full.‟ Given these conditions the labourers’ attentions settled on threshing machines, and in Wiltshire, more than in any other county, these became the rioters’ main target.

JANE FREEMAN INTRODUCTION On 10 September 1332 parliament granted Edward III a fifteenth and a tenth of the movable goods of the laity of the realm.‘ Those with movable goods in cities and boroughs and on ancient demesne ofthe Crown were to contribute the tenth, others the fifteenth. Parliament had granted fractions of such goods to the king from time to time since 1283 and by 1332 such grants had become a familiar form of taxation. The grants, which were universally understood to be grants of the money value of the fractions, were not always of the same fractions and did not always distinguish the classes of taxpayers.
