In response to a screening opinion the archaeological advisors to the LPA (GGAT Curatorial) recommended that a desk-based assessment and ASIDOHL2 be completed for the proposed development. The ASIDOHL2, carried out to the latest guidelines issued by Cadw, forms the subject of the current report. The overall significance of the impact of the development on the Gwent Levels (HLW (Gt) 1) landscape of outstanding historic interest is considered to be ‘Severe’. There will be a direct physical impact on six Historic Landscape Character Areas and an indirect, visual impact on eight HLCAs. It is considered that the development will have no permanent indirect physical impact on any of the Character Areas within the Historic Landscape. It is considered that the overall effect of the development can be mitigated by the use of appropriate screening measures to limit the visual impact of the development. This will reduce the visual impact on both the settings and view shares of sites of national and regional importance, as well as the HLCAs themselves. It should also be noted that a number of the buildings within the Historic Landscape have existing solar panels, thereby partially reducing the inherent visual intrusion. It is also important to note that the indirect visual effect of the development will be transitory in nature, with the majority of solar sites having an economic lifetime of less than 25 years. Additionally the sympathetic placement of individual units within the development, so as to avoid unnecessary damage to inherent landscape characteristics, will reduce the direct physical impact of the development. This is in addition to the watching brief, hedgerow survey and earthwork survey recommended by the desk-based assessment (Sherman 2015).

Most of theselandscapes are deeply buried, and, whilst exceptionally 'historic well-preserved,are largely inaccessibleand so ill-understood.It is only with the landscape',that lies on the surface of the Levels, that we can really start to reconstruct and analyse what thesepast landscapeswere like. However, although the enormously diverse historic landscapeis itself an important source of information, itsfull potential is only achievedthrough its integration with associatedarchaeological and documentatyevidence. This presentsmany challengesand whilst much has beenachieved in the last tenyears, there is a long way to go before we can write a comprehensivehistory of the SevernLevels. Two techniquesare vital.

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.
