  • The Church Bells of Monmouthshire
    The Church Bells of Monmouthshire by Arthur Wright File 03 – Summary and Chronological Account The Chepstow Foundry, Addenda, Index – Pages 97 to 134 This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing 97 THE CHURCH BELLS OF MONMOUTHSHIRE. Bv ARTHUR WRIGHT, B.Sc. VII. SUMMARY AND CHRONOLOGICAL AcCOUNT. IN the county there are at the time of writing (1940) 556 bells, including a few in secular use, but of interest from their dates or inscriptions. They may be classified as follows :- Total. 1 Ring of 12 12 15 " " 8 120 22 6 132 7 5 35 6 4 24 10 3 30 40 ,,2 80 118 Single bells . 118 5 Small bells (ting-tangs) . 5 556 These may further be classified according to their periods :- Pre-Reformation uninscribed 4 , inscribed 181 Post-Reformation 16th century 3 17th 54 18th 154 19th 145 " 20th 95 Blank modern bells . 83 556 The percentage of surv1vmg pre-Reformation bells, 20/566, i.e. 3·5 per cent, is a figure which compares rather unfavourably with those of neighbouring counties, where these are known, i.e. Hereford­ shire 7, Gloucestershire 6·5, Worcestershire 5·5, Shropshire 4, Stafford­ shire 3; whilst it is much below such counties as Norfolk, 15 per cent in 1874, Suffolk 15 per cent in 1890, Essex 10 per cent in 1909. 2 1 Including two recast, but with their original inscriptions in facsimile. 2 From Lestrange, Raven, and Deedes and Walters respectively.

  • Planning Application DM/2018/01641, Trostrey Court Farm Barns, Clytha Road/ Trostrey Common, Gwehelog
    Dear Ms Bingham, Re: Planning application DM/2018/01641, Trostrey Court Farm Barns, Clytha Road/ Trostrey Common, Gwehelog Thank you for notifying us of the new consultation about this application for a waste and biomass gasification plant, following the developer’s submission of new documents. Biofuelwatch once more objects to this proposal. We are aware of local residents’ serious concerns related to air quality, traffic and visual impacts, which we share. However, our objection is based on the following grounds: 1) The proposal goes against Policy W3 (Waste Management Facilities) of the Monmouthshire County Council Adopted Local Development Plan, 2014; 2) The proposal does not reflect the Waste Hierarchy and the Waste Proximity principles as set out in the Planning Policy Wales Edition 10, in the Overarching Waste Strategy - Towards Zero Waste, and in TAN21; 3) The proposal conflicts with Policy EP1 of the Monmouthshire County Council Adopted Local Development Plan, 2014. Background: The application involved an incineration or co-incineration of waste development, which constitutes a material change of use from the previously approved plans: The developer states that the planning proposal relates to minor physical alterations to a previously approved development. However, the documents submitted since the previous consultation on this application show that Morgan & Co is looking to develop a waste recovery / waste co-incineration facility, instead of the bioenergy plant previously approved. This is confirmed in the developer’s “Simplified information about fuel types”, dated 10th July 2019, which states that the feedstock will be “pre-processed, shredded waste” including shredded waste wood, paper, textiles and non- recyclable plastics”.

Address: Trostrey Court Farm Barns Clytha Road Trostrey Common Gwehelog Monmouthshire Applicant: Mr David Morgan Plans: Block Plan 0088/18/06 - , Site Plan 0088/18/06 - , Landscaping Plan - , All Proposed Plans 0088/18/04 - , Elevations - Proposed 0088/18/03 - , Elevations - Proposed 0088/18/06 Oct 2018 - , RECOMMENDATION: Approve Case Officer: Ms Kate Bingham Date Valid: 13.12.2018 This application is presented to Planning Committee due to the number of objections, including the local Community Council. 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.0 The site of the proposed development lies immediately adjacent to the existing generator building, which is located to the south of the large farm complex and poultry buildings that form part of Trostrey Court Farm. The site of the proposal is at present a large concrete apron between the generator building and the public highway and is used for the open storage of biomass material (wood chip). 1.1 The original generator building was granted planning permission in 2007 and 2009 with subsequent permissions for alteration, extension and ancillary requirements. Initially the fuel used was a type of vegetable oil, but the machinery has since been adapted to run on a gaseous fuel produced from zero carbon wood chip/biomass material. 1.2 The existing generator building produces electricity and heat and is classed as a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology. The heat is used to heat the existing adjacent poultry houses as well as drying manure from the dairy buildings.

  • Monmouthshire Meadows
    Monmouthshire Meadows Issue 16 Registered Charity No.1111345 Spring 2012 Our aims are to conserve and enhance the landscape by enabling members to maintain, manage and restore their semi-natural grasslands and associated features Trevor Evans receives an MBE The MMG Committee is delighted that our President, Trevor Evans, was mentioned in the New Year Honours list. He received a well-deserved M.B.E. for services to wildlife conservation. For 40 years Trevor has been Monmouthshire vice-county recorder (vice-county 35 is similar to the old county of Gwent with a few minor differences) for the Botanical Society of the British Isles and in his early 80’s he wrote the much acclaimed Flora of Monmouthshire. That book is a ‘must’ for anyone interested in plants in their local patch. His knowledge of the county and its plants is second to none, having lived most of his life in Chepstow where he taught for many years at the secondary school. Congratulations Trevor! Photo: Ann Robinson From the Chair The grant from Environment Wales for travel costs involved in survey work and for a bilingual report of our surveys on members’ land has kept us busy. During the late summer Glynis Laws, Maggie Biss, Sheelagh Kerry and I carried out surveys and entered all these as well as more historical data dating back as far as 2003 onto a database. Analysis of these data formed the basis for the Environment Wales report, a copy of which now on the website. Highlights of the surveys are coming across ‘new’ species-rich meadows and pastures.
