  • The Sandford Gulf and Other Lost Caves of Sandford Hill
    THE SANDFORD GULF AND OTHER LOST CAVES OF SANDFORD HILL By R. M. Taviner During the 18 th century, miners’ working on the western outliers of the Mendip Hills intercepted several small but notable cave systems, including the Banwell caves, Loxton Cavern and Hutton Cavern. Most were subsequently lost, although several have recently been rediscovered by cave explorers, often by following clues provided by the antiquarians who dutifully recorded them. Not all of these caverns have been rediscovered however, including three well documented sites on Sandford Hill. The first, Elephant Cave - which contained the skeleton of a full sized elephant - was recorded in 1770, while the better documented Sandford Bone Fissure was excavated by William Beard, beginning in 1837. Both of these sites are important, but it is the third lost cave, the legendary Sandford Gulf, that most exercises the minds of cavers. It is hoped that this article will help to bring some clarity to proceedings, and through a process of elimination, propose a precise location for the missing Gulf - a very good place to start digging! Sandford Hill from the North-West Map data ©2016 Google ELEPHANT CAVE The full details of this mysterious cave were included in a letter dated 30 th January 1770, sent by William Jeffries of Wrington to The Rev. Alexander Catcott, clergyman, geologist and author of A Treatise on the Deluge. ‘Where these Bones were found in almost the highest part of the Hill on the north Side: they lay in an East and West Direction four fathom deep in a loose Strata composed mostly of small Fragments of limestone, Sand etc.

  • North Somerset & Mendip Bats SAC Citation
    EC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora Citation for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Name: North Somerset and Mendip Bats Unitary Authority/County: Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Somerset SAC status: Designated on 1 April 2005 Grid reference: ST480544 SAC EU code: UK0030052 Area (ha): 561.19 Component SSSI: Banwell Caves SSSI, Banwell Ochre Caves SSSI, Brockley Hall Stables SSSI, Compton Martin Ochre Mine SSSI, King’s Wood and Urchin Wood SSSI, The Cheddar Complex SSSI, Wookey Hole SSSI Site description: The Cheddar complex and Wookey Hole areas support a wide range of habitats which provide feeding grounds for bats. These include semi-natural dry grasslands of which the principal community present is sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland which occurs on rock ledges and on steep slopes with shallow limestone soil, especially in the dry valleys and gorges and on the south-facing scarp of the Mendips. King’s Wood and Urchin Wood have developed over limestone which outcrops in parts of the site and forms a steep scarp to the south-east. There is mostly oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland, though some areas are dominated by small-leaved lime Tilia cordata with both maiden and coppice trees. Other canopy trees include yew Taxus baccata, cherry Prunus avium and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis. There is a rich ground flora including many ferns and mosses. The limestone caves and mines of the Mendips and the north Somerset hills provide a range of important breeding and hibernation sites for lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros and greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum.

  • Ag'0 Proceeliing0. Where the Party Was Met by the Vicar, the Rev. AC
    — 52 Fifty-seventh Annual Meeting. Cbiro s;?ag’0 Proceeliing0. On Thursday, the weather was again very beautiful and the members left Weston-super-Mare at 9.30 a.m. for Cfflotle Cturcft, where the party was met by the Vicar, the Rev. A. C. Harman. The Rev. E. H. Bates described the Church. He said : To the traveller on the upper road from Weston to Worle, the church presents a pleasing outline with its spire crowned tower, carved parapet over the north aisle, and external turret at the north-east corner. The distinctly marked break in the masonry of aisle and tower denotes two different periods of construction, and as the former is fifteenth century work, the tower is doubtless much older. There are, however, no archi- tectural features by which its exact age can be determined. The entrance -doorway on the south side is of a plain Korman type, perhaps of the same date as the font, which is assigned by Mr. Pridham to the period 1135 —^1154. A small window in the east wall of the porch may also belong to the original building. The arcade between the nave and aisle and the windows are all XV Century work. “ The fittings are of considerable interest. Besides the font, there is a stone pulpit w^hich has been moved from some other part of the church, as immediately behind it is a piscina. The altar to which this was appurtenant may have had some con- nection wdth the empty recess in the wall, probably intended for the recumbent effigy of some parishioner.

    A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PALJEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES 23 A Bibliography of the Palreolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Area By DESMOND T. DONOVAN, Ph.D., F.G.S. This bibliography includes references to sites in the Mendip Hills, from Frome, in the east, to \Veston-super-Mare, in the west, and the country northwards to and including the city and county of Bristol, the Avon valley between Bristol and Bath, and the city of Bath. The western boundary is the Bristol Channel, the eastern the outcrop of the Oolites of the Middle Jurassic. One or two sites outside these limits, which have affinity with those within, are also included. Every effort has been made to make the bibliography complete, but a few minor references, especially newspaper articles, may have escaped me. Casual mentions of sites in text-books and general works are not included. Gcomorphological papers are, in general, omitted. Physical descriptions of caves, except where Pleistocene contents are mentioned,· are excluded, and I have had to omit reference to the Rev. \V. D.
