  • Halvergate Marshes Conservation Area Adopted 20/03/2015
    Page 1 of 28 Halvergate Marshes Conservation Area Adopted 20/03/2015 Halvergate Marshes CAA adopted 20/03/2015 Amended 20/01/2015 Printed 10/06/2020 Page 2 of 28 Halvergate Marshes Conservation Area Appraisal Introduction Why have Conservation Areas? A review of policies relating to the historic environment carried out by English Heritage on behalf of the Secretary of States for Culture Media and Sport and the Environment Transport and the Regions was published in December 2000 under the heading ‘Power of Place’. The Report which reflected views now held generally by the population at large, confirmed 5 main messages i Most people place a high value on the historic environment and think it right there should be public funding to preserve it. ii Because people care about their environment they want to be involved in decisions affecting it. iii The historic environment is seen by most people as a totality. They care about the whole of their environment. iv Everyone has a part to play caring for the historic environment. More will be achieved if we work together. v Everything rests in sound knowledge and understanding and takes account of the values people place on their surroundings. In summary we must balance the need to care for the historic environment with the need for change. We need to understand the character of places and the significance people ascribe to them. The concept of conservation areas was first introduced in the Civic Amenities Act 1967, in which local planning authorities were encouraged to determine which parts of their area could be defined as “Areas of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”.

  • Morals, Rituals, and Gender: Aspects of Social Relations in the Diocese of Norwich, 1660 - 1703
    MORALS, RITUALS, AND GENDER: ASPECTS OF SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE DIOCESE OF NORWICH, 1660 - 1703 Dave Peacock Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy To the University of York History Department December 1996 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the question of whether the late seventeenth-century "middling sort" were the passive recipients of 'government" and "civility", or, whether they were active participants, and pivotal agents, of the construction of post-Restoration English society. This conundrum raises three further issues: first, who were the middling sort; second, what constitutes "politics"; and third, how did the "middling sort" adapt the concept of "civility" to their own preoccupations and aspirations? This thesis uses evidence of social relationships drawn from the depositions of the Norwich consistory court, which is relevant for two reasons: first, it reveals the "middling sort" and demonstrates their concern with personal reputation; second, it exposes the requirements of "civility" they demanded of each other. We also investigate the precepts of social behaviour offered by conduct books. Thus, we are able to examine the intellectual context in which the conflicts over reputation occurred. We argue that precept provided a discursive resource which defamers utilised to redirect perceptions of a person's reputation. Victims of defamation responded with appeals to their neighbours to uphold their inclusion within a "moral community". Thus, we argue, defamation causes were a negotiation of social identity as respected, autonomous citizens, with all the privileges and obligations that status entailed. Accordingly, we must redefine our concept of "politics", for the practice of defamation demonstrates how political activity extended throughout the social milieu: to gain a bad reputation was to lose authority and influence upon neighbourhood affairs, and destroyed political ambitions.

  • Education Teacher’S Kit
    Mills Education Teacher’s Kit Watermills Watermills can be divided into two basic types, one powered by a vertical-waterwheel via a gearing mechanism, and the other equipped by a horizontal-waterwheel without such a mechanism. The former type can be further divided, depending on where the water hits the wheel paddles, into undershot, breastshot, pitchback or overshot waterwheel mills. The earliest mill consisted of a horizontal water wheel set in a watercourse so that the forces of the stream pushed the paddles round, the axle passing up through the floor of the mill to drive millstones which crushed the grain. It was probably the Romans who devised the necessary gearing to enable vertical water wheels to be used. By the time of the Domesday Book in England, every settlement with access to running water had its own mill. Windmills By the end of the twelfth century England had some 56 known windmills, the earliest built before 1137, compared with only three or four known in the rest of western Europe. These early mills were post mills. In post mills the buck, or main body of the mill, contained all the machinery: sails, gearing and grindstones. Since the mill only worked effectively if the sails faced directly into the wind, the buck was supported on a post and could be pushed round by a tail pole to face the wind. In the thirteenth century the tower mill was developed. This had a fixed tower containing the machinery, with the sails mounted on a cap which could be turned into the wind.

  • Flood Alleviation Strategy
    BFH)ADl#jND FLOOD ALLEVIATION STRATEGY BANK STRENGTHENING AND EROSION PROTECTION The Programme fonFloodfoefence Works E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y ^[G O d CwJ-jOvcc_ S.'cUt^ue^ INTRODUCTION The River Yare and its two major tributaries, the Waveney and the Bure, drain to the sea through Great Yarmouth in East Anglia. The low lying land surrounding the tidal reaches of these rivers is known as Broadland, an area unlike any other in the country. Flat and low lying, it contains a variety of landscapes and wet-land habitats and supports a wide range of activities. Much of the area is devoted to agriculture but this co-exists with an extensive tourist industry, visitors being attracted by the opportunities offered for boating, walking, fishing and general sightseeing. The major town is Great Yarmouth, an active port and an important supply base for the offshore gas industry. The area forms one of the most important wetland marsh areas in the United Kingdom and in addition to the numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest was designated an Environmentally Sensitive Area in 1986. # . Much of Broadland and Great Yarmouth is susceptible to flooding, either from high freshwater river flows or, more frequently, high sea levels. Flood protection is the responsibility of the Agency and at present is provided by flood walls through Great Yarmouth and earth embankments along the rivers in Broadland. The Great Yarmouth defences have recently been upgraded and improved but, apart from routine maintenance and emergency repairs, little work on the Broadland defences has been undertaken since the major flood of 1976, following breaches in the defences at North Breydon.

    Forthcoming acquisitions Norfolk Archaeological Trust Over the coming months two more acquisitions are in Report to Members prospect: 2001/2 Bloodgate Hill, South Creake, hillfort This circular Iron Age hillfort is being eroded by constant ploughing, with fresh material being brought to the surface each year. An understanding has been reached, subject to contract and to funding, to buy the field from the owners so that it can be put down to grass to prevent further disturbance. But, before the site is grassed over, there will be a small-scale excavation. A car park will be built and there will be a low-key interpretation scheme drawing upon the results of the excavation. The Heritage Lottery Fund has offered three quarters of project costs, and the outcomes of other grant applications are awaited.
