  • Cuckoo Hill Cottage, Off Ogdens Rd, South Gorley, Fordingbridge, SP6 2PP FREEHOLD PRICE GUIDE £175000
    SOUTH GORLEY, FORDINGBRIDGE Cuckoo Hill Cottage, off Ogdens Rd, South Gorley, Fordingbridge, SP6 2PP FREEHOLD PRICE GUIDE £175,000 A genuinely unique opportunity to buy a project backing onto the open forest set in just over an acre in need of complete renovation or redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning permissions) and is situated within the beautiful New Forest National Park which offers over 140,000 acres of heathland, and is a haven for a variety of outdoor activities. The former market town of Fordingbridge is approximately 3 miles from the property which offers a range of shopping, recreation and educational facilities. The more major towns of Salisbury and Bournemouth can be accessed via the A31/A338, whilst Southampton, Winchester and London can be accessed via the A31/M27/M3. Cuckoo Hill Cottage, as featured in The Book of North Gorley, requires complete renovation now, having been built we believe by Heywood Sumner just after the turn of the last century. In 1902 Sumner acquired a plot of land at Cuckoo Hill near South Gorley, on the east side of the Avon valley, and designed and built his ideal family house. Sumner lived at Cuckoo Hill from 1904 until his death in 1940 at the age of 87. The house is now a care home. The neighbouring "Cuckoo Hill Cottage" built within the grounds is now separated by a newly constructed close board fencing, clearly defining the new boundaries. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the great opportunity and location this property has to offer to develop your own gem in the forest.

Proposal would not fit in with the local vernacular and would not mellow over time. Whilst the proposal would fall within the 30% limit it would be large, modern and urban with a substantial amount of glazing. The proposal would not sit comfortably with surrounding properties which include a thatched cottage, rendered bungalow and brick, tile and slate Forest cottages (typical of the Hyde Village Design Statement). Concerns have been raised by neighbouring residents in relation to drainage issues. The water table is high, with drainage being an issue for many properties and this would need to be assessed carefully with consideration of flood prevention.

  • Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
    PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print.

  • Congregationalism in Edwardian Hampshire 1901-1914
    FAITH AND GOOD WORKS: CONGREGATIONALISM IN EDWARDIAN HAMPSHIRE 1901-1914 by ROGER MARTIN OTTEWILL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Congregationalists were a major presence in the ecclesiastical landscape of Edwardian Hampshire. With a number of churches in the major urban centres of Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, and places of worship in most market towns and many villages they were much in evidence and their activities received extensive coverage in the local press. Their leaders, both clerical and lay, were often prominent figures in the local community as they sought to give expression to their Evangelical convictions tempered with a strong social conscience. From what they had to say about Congregational leadership, identity, doctrine and relations with the wider world and indeed their relative silence on the issue of gender relations, something of the essence of Edwardian Congregationalism emerges. In their discourses various tensions were to the fore, including those between faith and good works; the spiritual and secular impulses at the heart of the institutional principle; and the conflicting priorities of churches and society at large.
