Brislington Brook St Anne's Wood Nightingale Valley Brislington The place-name Brislington is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means “Beorhthelm’s Farmstead”, with Beorhthelm being an Old English personal name (Mills 1998,56) Brook A natural freshwater stream that is smaller than a river St Anne’s Wood The steep sided semi-ancient woodland probably named after the pilgrimage site Nightingale Valley “Miss Alma Coombs remembers the warm evenings in her childhood when sitting with her friends on the wall at the top of Nightingale Valley, they listened to the song of the Nightingale and the notes of the Nightjar.” p. 51-52 of St Anne’s Bristol a History by Evelyn Winchester (1986, White Tree Books) 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. Brislington Brook runs through Nightingale Valley in Brislington and offers the perfect location for outdoor study. It is one of Bristol’s best kept secrets and it’s incredibly accessible for junior schools in St Anne’s, St Anne’s Park, Broomhill and Brislington village. The Brook is a hidden gem. It is set in a well-established broadleaved woodland with mature and semi-mature trees and shrubs filling much of the steep and wide valley. As well as its great environmental value as a wildlife corridor, the Brook has a fascinating history, the remains of which are evident everywhere; ranging from St Anne’s Holy Well, a 13th century pilgrimage site, to the remnants of a Victorian pleasure garden. In 2011, the Brislington Community Partnership received three-year funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bristol City Council for an exciting new community project, Discover Brislington Brook. The project has brought the river to life and enabled people to discover its history and wildlife through fun activities, walks, talks and events. This pack forms part of this project’s legacy. It draws together the work that has taken place to discover and interpret the human, built and natural heritage of Brislington Brook as a resource for your future local area study. 2 Acknowledgements Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and Bristol Record Office for their kind permission to reproduce many illustrations and copies of documents Bob Jones and Pete Insole, Bristol City Council Archaeologists Matt Scammell, Environmental Technical Support Officer, Bristol City Council Rowan Mattheissen, Brislington Brook Project Officer Rosie Tomlinson for her research into Land Rights and the Sinnott case Ken Taylor, for advice, information and permission to reproduce images Sam Wyatt and Brislington Conservation & History Society (sketch of flood/St Anne’s Chapel: artist impression) Eddie House, for pageant photography Ruth Coleman, additional research and writing, compiling and editing Sophie Cook, for cover photography – bristolfestivalofnature.wordpress.com Sources and Books Pilgrimage in Medieval England – Diana Webb, Hambledon and London, 2000 A Collection of Pilgrim Signs and Other Badges in Bristol City Museum – Susan Barker, From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, 1977 The Book of Margery Kempe - Penguin Books, 1985 The Canterbury Tales – Geoffrey Chaucer – there are many children’s versions of this story as well as several editions of the original published by Penguin and Oxford Press 3 ...................................................................................................................Contents Section 1: Resources 5 Section 3: Teachers’ area 43 (Maps, Charts and Images) Activity Plan 44 Where to find St Anne’s Wood & 6 Using this Pack 45 Nightingale Valley Brislington Brook Rubbings Trails 46 Brislington Brook 1791 7 Geography Activities 47 Brislington Brook 1844 8 How Can Maps Help Us? 47 Discover Brislington Brook 9 Compass Skills 48 Project Area Magic Valley Shapes 49 St Anne’s Wood Contour Map 10 Science Activities 50 Water Quality 50 Nightingale Valley Contour Map 11 Woodland and 52 Wildlife Hotspots Map 12 Minibeast Survey Geology of Brislington Brook 13 Litter Picking Session Plan 54 Chapel Relics/Pilgrim 14 Ideas for Other Science 56 Activities Paraphernalia Water Quality Data 15 Maths Activity 57 Wild Poetry Worksheet 17 Art/Literacy Activities 58 Wild Poetry Session Plan 58 Litter Survey Worksheet 19 Literacy/History Activities 60 Magic Valley Shapes Plotter 20 Pilgrim’s Way Session Plan 60 Trainspotter Maths Worksheet 21 Pilgrim Badge Session Plan 63 Pilgrim Puppet Templates 23 Pilgrim Puppets Session Plan 66 The Story of Roger and the 69 Line Drawing Examples 24 Stag ....................................................... .....

  • An Evaluation of Bristol Rais
    An evaluation of Bristol RAiS Layla Skinns, Natasha Du Rose and Mike Hough ICPR, King’s College London 26 February 2009 DRAFT Acknowledgements With thanks to all the staff and pupils at Bedminster, Brislington, Hartcliffe and Hengrove who participated in the research. Their perspectives were vital to the success of the evaluation. We are grateful to the staff at the local authority, in particular, Graham Knight, but also Matt Dowse and Paul Taylor, for their invaluable assistance with collating the necessary data. We would also like to thank Janet Clark the RAiS Project Manager for the advice and information she provided throughout the life of the project. Thanks too, to Sir Charles Pollard, Graham Robb and Nigel Whiskin, of Restorative Solutions, for inviting us to mount the evaluation and for their support over its course. Finally we are very grateful to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, who funded the evaluation through Restorative Solutions. ii DRAFT Key findings Implementation • Senior Mangers in all four RAiS schools thought that restorative approaches (RAs) provided their school with a framework, more direction and gave momentum to things they were already trying to do. • There were two different approaches to implementing RAiS (i) whole-school (ii) pockets of RAs. • The quality of RAs was higher in schools using the whole-school approach in that there was greater adherence to the programme. • The ‘triad’ model (involving three staff members of different ranks and roles, regularly meeting with the Champion) was an important part of the implementation process. • Full use of support staff in the delivery of RAiS could be used to address staff concerns about not having enough time to implement the programme.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. June 2012 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Bristol Avon Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Bristol Avon catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Bristol Avon CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England The Bristol Avon catchment has a history of flood risk, and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed and over the last 60 years numerous engineering inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for the schemes have been implemented to reduce flood risk first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland in the catchment. At present 7,000 properties are at risk flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface water and in the catchment in a 1% event.
