    Stone Family Documents the Stones of Chipstable, Somerset

    1 STONE FAMILY DOCUMENTS THE STONES OF CHIPSTABLE, SOMERSET These family documents were found in the estate of Elizabeth Boyd Bond Evans of Cambridge, England (deceased December 2012). They were obtained at auction at Cheffins of Cambridge for John C. Stone II by Elizabeth Howard in July 2013. Most of the documents relate to descendants of Richard Stone of Clayhanger, Devon and Chipstable, Somerset, who died in 1653. Richard’s estimated date of birth is late 1570s, e.g. 1579. His will was obtained from the UK Archives and names his descendants. The will of the widow of his eldest son John (Richord Parkhouse Stone) also was obtained from the UK Archives and helps define some of Richard’s descendants. Richard was married twice. The name of his first wife, whom he married about 1600, remains unknown. Six children were born to this first marriage, of whom four married and three produced heirs. The two female lines of descent have been difficult to establish, but the lone male heir who had offspring, Emanuel Stone, had nine or ten children. The line of descent from Emanuel’s oldest son and heir, Richard Stone 1640 (baptized in Chipstable), can be traced to the present day. The absence of 16c parish records and paucity of 17c records in Chipstable and Ashbrittle (due in large part to the civil war of the 17c) have made it impossible to determine accurately the lines of Emanuel’s other eight or nine children with any accuracy. Richard’s second marriage was prior to 1640 to a woman named Eleanor (possibly Eleanor Farthinge who was born in Clayhanger in 1604).

    John Buchan (1875-1940)

    JOHN BUCHAN (1875-1940) John Buchan was born on 26 August 1875 in Perth, Scotland. The eldest son of a Free Church of Scotland minister (also named John) and his wife, Helen Jane Masterton, Buchan gained considerable fame as a creative writer and historian. He also devoted major portions of his career to the law, publishing, and government. For 12 years beginning in 1876, Buchan lived at Pathhead, on the east coast of Scotland, where his father served as minister at the West Church. In 1888, the family moved to Glasgow, where Buchan’s father began leading the congregation of the John Knox Free Church in the Gorbals – a working-class neighbourhood south of the Clyde. John Buchan. Photograph, 1911. Queen’s University Archive. Buchan studied at Hutchesons’ Grammar School until 1892, at which time he won a John Clark £30 bursary to enter Glasgow University. “I suppose I was a natural story-teller” (Memory, 193), Buchan reflected towards the end of his life. His first concerted literary efforts began during his years at Glasgow. Balancing academic pursuits with personal writing projects, Buchan made time to 1 contribute numerous articles and stories to periodicals, including Blackwood’s, Macmillan’s, and the Gentleman’s Magazine (which printed his first article, “Angling in Still Waters,” in August 1893). During this period, Buchan also edited Francis Bacon’s Essays and Apothegms (1894) and wrote his first novel, Sir Quixote of the Moors (1895). Buchan dedicated the latter to Gilbert Murray, a Glasgow professor who had a profound influence on his knowledge of Classical literature and philosophy.

  • Flood Risk Management Plan

    Flood Risk Management Plan

    LIT 10224 Flood risk management plan South West river basin district summary March 2016 What are flood risk management plans? Flood risk management plans (FRMPs) explain the risk of flooding from rivers, the sea, surface water, groundwater and reservoirs. FRMPs set out how risk management authorities will work with communities to manage flood and coastal risk over the next 6 years. Risk management authorities include the Environment Agency, local councils, internal drainage boards, Highways Authorities, Highways England and lead local flood authorities (LLFAs). Each EU member country must produce FRMPs as set out in the EU Floods Directive 2007. Each FRMP covers a specific river basin district. There are 11 river basin districts in England and Wales, as defined in the legislation. A river basin district is an area of land covering one or more river catchments. A river catchment is the area of land from which rainfall drains to a specific river. Each river basin district also has a river basin management plan, which looks at how to protect and improve water quality, and use water in a sustainable way. FRMPs and river basin management plans work to a 6- year planning cycle. The current cycle is from 2015 to 2021. We have developed the South West FRMP alongside the South West river basin management plan so that flood defence schemes can provide wider environmental benefits. Both flood risk management and river basin planning form an important part of a collaborative and integrated approach to catchment planning for water. Building on this essential work, and in the context of the Governments 25-year environment plan, we aim to move towards more integrated planning for the environment over the next cycle.

    Flooding in West Somerset: Overview of Local Risks and Ideas for Action

    FLOODING IN WEST SOMERSET: OVERVIEW OF LOCAL RISKS AND IDEAS FOR ACTION A discussion document by the West Somerset Flood Group June 2014 The West Somerset Flood Group WHO WE ARE We are a group of town and parish councils (and one flood group) actively working to reduce flood risk at local level. We have come together because we believe that the communities of West Somerset should have a voice in the current debate on managing future flood risk. We also see a benefit in providing a local forum for discussion and hope to include experts, local- authority officers and local landowners in our future activities. We are not experts on statutory duties, powers and funding, on the workings of local and national government or on climate change. We do, however, know a lot about the practicalities of working to protect our communities, we talk to both local people and experts, and we are aware of areas where current structures of responsibility and funding may not be working smoothly. We also have ideas for future action against flooding. We are directly helped in our work by the Environment Agency, Somerset County Council (Flood and Water Management team, Highways Department and Civil Contingencies Unit), West Somerset Council, Exmoor National Park Authority and the National Trust and are grateful for the support they give us. We also thank our County and District Councillors for listening to us and providing support and advice.

  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
