IT was predicted of the Great Philanthropist, "He shall tum the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of children to their fathers." The writer seeks to contribute something toward the development of such mutual afiection between the members of the Pope Family. He has found his own heart tenderly drawn toward all whose names he has registered and whose biographies he has at­ tempted to write. The dead are his own, whose graves he has sought to strew with the tributes of love ; the living are his own, every one of whose careers he now watches with strong interest. He has given a large part of bis recreation hours and vacation time for eight years to the gathering of materials for the work ; written hundreds of letters ; examined a great many deeds and wills, town journals, church registers, and family records ; visited numerous persons and places, and pored over a large number of histories of towns and families ; and has gathered here the items and entries thus discovered.

  • RINGING ROUND DEVON GUILD of DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Newsletter 73: March 2009
    RINGING ROUND DEVON GUILD OF DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Newsletter 73: March 2009 EXETER CATHEDRAL BELLS AND RINGERS This year, churches of all denominations across Devon are celebrating 1100 years of the westward expansion of Christianity from the Diocese of Wessex at Sherborne to Devon in 909. Initially, the home of what became the Diocese of Exeter was Crediton, moving to Exeter in 1050. The Cathedral has organized a number of events for the year, the climax of which is a Celebration Day in Exeter on Saturday 27 June. So with the Cathedral as the seat of the Diocese and thus of the celebrations, it seemed appropriate to spotlight the Cathedral bells and ringers. The South Tower Andrew Digby illustrates the size of Grandisson The South Tower contains 14 bells that are hung for full circle change ringing. They are an eclectic mix of weights and ages and constitute the second or third heaviest ring of bells in the world (depending on definition). They are usually rung as a 12, with the two semitones allowing lighter combinations of 8 or 10 to be rung. The tenor, Grandisson is 72½ Cwt in Bb, and the treble is 6 Cwt. The oldest bell in the tower (the 4th) dates from 1616, and the newest (the Jubilee treble) was added in 1977. Several bells have been re-cast over the years; Grandisson itself was last re-cast in 1902. Ringing here is not for the faint-hearted. The bells are heavy and demanding, the ringing chamber is enormous and can seem intimidating, even after several visits, and the huge range of bell weights and sizes means that ropesight is quite a challenge.

The Parish Council notes the Commission’s aim to deliver electoral equality for voters across the district. Beer is currently part of Beer & Branscombe ward and the Parish Council understands that there is currently a disparity in ward sizes within East Devon. The Parish Council has highlighted the following priorities for Beer & Branscombe ward: i) Maintain the rural nature of the ward ii) Maintain a single Councillor ward if possible (maximum of 2 Councillors) iii) In the event that Beer & Branscombe ward should need to be enlarged - consider the inclusion of properties to the west of Beer brook (Seaton Hole) and/or extend the existing ward further to the west to include areas of Weston and Salcombe Regis (not already included) Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this consultation exercise.

  • Dorset & the Jurassic Coast
    Dorset & the Jurassic Coast Dorset, on the south coast of Britain is well worth a visit if you’re interested in beautiful landscapes and dramatic coastlines. Over half the county is designated ‘an area of outstanding beauty’ and three quarters of the coastline is classed as a world heritage site. There are no motorways in Dorset, so you will have time to take in the scenery as you meander through rolling hills and picture perfect villages. The coastline has many things to offer. From Chesil Beach, the 18 mile long stretch of pebbles that has protection for its wildlife, to the limestone arches of Durdle Dor, part of the Lulworth Estate. How about letting the kids search for fossils in the limestone cliffs near Lyme Regis or letting them run amok at Maiden Castle, an Iron Age hill fort near Dorchester or Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck that was built by William the Conqueror. If you feel like a little nightlife, you could visit Bournemouth or Poole in the east of the County. Places to visit Corfe Castle One of Britain’s most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. Discover 1,000 years of our history as a royal palace and fortress.

  • Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis
    Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis The purpose of this document is to summarise the application process and key criteria associated with the Future High Streets (FHS) Fund, and present the potential town candidates which could form the basis of East Devon’s single Expression of Interest bid. This document has been compiled by officers across the council including planners, surveyors and economic development officers. Background The deadline for the submission of Expressions of Interest is 22 Mar 2019. There is likely to be a later opportunity to bid for the Fund as well. Initial awareness of the Fund emerged in autumn 2018 with fuller detail in December 2018 and then supplementary guidance more recently. As government has released more detailed information we have also sought clarification on what is and isn’t eligible or likely to be favoured. If we were to submit a bid for one of our established towns it should be recognised from the individual and collective analysis below that our high streets are not failing nor would those communities necessarily recognise or accept transformational intervention to solve a problem that isn’t significant i.e. replacing retail with alternative high street functions. However, it is also clear that other authorities not so different from nor far away from ours are preparing bids for some of their town centres. Government has said that it would like to see high streets across the regions benefit so it may well be willing to consider and work with bids of varying levels of under-performance to ensure a geographic spread.
