  • A Complete Copy of the Shipton Gorge Parish Appraisal 2009
    Shipton Gorge Parish Appraisal 2009 Shipton Gorge Parish Appraisal 2009 1 Shipton Gorge Parish Appraisal 2009 Foreword In this Appraisal all the data received has been presented in factual diagrammatic form along with a summary of the views and opinions in individual comments, to give a simple view of the trends and opinions of these who answered, however this does not necessarily give the total view of the whole village population. It is important that a document such as this belongs to, and is owned by everyone in the parish of Shipton Gorge and we would like to thank all those who gave us factual and Historical information, suggestions, comments and constructive criticism. This 2009 Village appraisal was financed by the Parish Council and compiled by the Parish Plan Committee consisting of Simon Cleveland, Richard Cunningham and Peter Gates. The views and opinions expressed in this Appraisal are not necessarily those of the Parish Council or the Parish Plan Committee. All information gathered will be handled in accordance with the Parish Council Data Protection Registration. 2 Shipton Gorge Parish Appraisal 2009 Introduction. In 1979 Shipton gorge Parish Council undertook a survey of the parish which resulted in the publication of the first Village Appraisal. The stated purpose was ‘the belief that a survey of the parish as it is today and the views of the inhabitants as to its future, would be useful as a guide to the Parish council itself as well as to the County Planners and would stimulate and inform discussion within the village’. A further survey was conducted in 1989 and 1999, recording the changes in the intervening 10 year intervals.

  • I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the Adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Iowa on March 18, 2015 I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset. BY THE REV. W. BUCKLAND, D.D. P.G.S. F.R.S. (PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.) AND H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.G.S. F.R.S. &c. [Read April 2 and 16, 1830.] 1EW parts of the world present in a small compass so instructive a series of geological phenomena as those which are displayed in the vertical cliffs of the south coast of England. An important portion of this coast, including the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Purbeck, has been well described by Mr. Webster*, and subsequently illustrated by Dr. Fittonf. In the Second Series of the Geological Transactions J, Mr. De la Beche has published sections of the coast from Bridport Harbour to Sidmouth; and in the same volume Dr. Buckland has given drawings of the cliffs from Sidmouth to Beer Head, and from Lyme Regis to the Isle of Portland §. The geological history of the neighbourhood of Weymouth has been partially illustrated by Prof. Sedgwick in the Annals of Philosophy ||; and it will be the object of this paper to supply its full details, illustrated by a map and sections; beginning our observations at the point where Mr. Webster's sections end, viz., at the Pro­ montory of White Nore, about eight miles E.N.E. of the town of Weymouth, and continuing them to Weymouth and Portland, and thence westward along the Chesil Bank to the cliffs west of Lyme Regis.

  • A Complete Copy of the 1979 Shipton Gorge
    SHIPTON GORGE VILLAGE APPRAISAL 1979 This appraisal was produced by Shipton Gorge Parish Council in the belief that a survey of the parish as it is today and the views of the inhabitants as to its future, would be useful; as a guide to the Parish council itself as well as to the County Planners, and would stimulate and inform discussion within the village. Price 25p The Council gratefully acknowledges the help of Mrs L. Aldridge with the typing of this document Part 1 - FACTUAL BACKGROUND THE PHYSICAL CHARACTER OF THE PARISH 1. The parish, which is smallish by West Dorset standards, is a rough east-west rectangle in the north west corner of the Bride Valley. It extends from Innsacre on the west, east to include Shipton Hill and St Luke’s Cottage, south to Lower Sturthill and Hammiton Hill, west to St Catherine’s Cross and Bennett’s Hill Farm, and then North via Bonscombe to Innsacre again. The village lies two miles east of Bridport, about a mile south of the A35 road. It is 14 miles from Dorchester and two miles from the sea at Burton Bradstock. 2. The relief and structure of the Parish is varied. Shipton Hill (588ft.) is a landmark for miles around. It is a steep sided mass of Upper Greensand chert, isolated by landslips which have left it surrounded on all sides by an irregular tumbled surface of Fuller’s Earth clay. Hammiton Hill is similar but at a lower leve. (394 ft.) West of the slipped area, roughly west of Loder’s Lane, the northern hillier part, Cobbett Hill, Barr Hill consists of low hills of clay, rising up to over 300 ft.
