  • Higha Mpton Messenger
    Issue 5 October—November 2010 CHAIRMAN CHARLES CHATS... Horses have featured in Highampton in the last few weeks, back in August the Hatherleigh & Highampton Horse show at Warren Farm was a great success and for once the weather was fine for it. Later it was not such good news with the arrival of swamp fever at Hole Station, which is Highampton postal, but in the Black Torrington parish. This brought back to me all the horror of the foot and mouth crisis and I hope for all who have horses that it does not spread, you all have my prayers and best wishes. I have recently been to the annual general meeting of the Devon Association of Local Councils where the dominant theme was the financial situation. It is likely that the government will want parish councils to take on more responsibilities and the meeting thought that this would be impossible if funding did not accompany any extra duties. However, we must work hard to achieve the aims of our parish plan that resulted from our consulting you. If you have strong views on how the BIG SOCIETY will work here please let me know, our problem is that we are a small community. The new recycling system is due to start and I hope that you will all cooperate, it may seem a lot of nonsense but in the long run it will help to keep your council tax down. The fact is that land fill sites are being used up and rubbish not recycled will have to be taken further for dumping when the pit at Heathfield in Newton Abbot becomes full, this is already an expensive process, this is on top of any green advantages of recycling.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.
