  • Studland Parish News September 2021
    Studland Parish News October 2021 St Nicholas Church Studland See the Parish News in full colour – www.studlandchurch.com Note from the editor… As I compile this month’s edition, I am filled with such a sense of community spirit. It is a pleasure to read all the submissions about what is happening in the village this Autumn. There is simply so much going on, we are really spoiled for choice. I am sure you will find the same as you read through the pages, and I hope to see you at some of the events. With all the harvesting going on this month, I thought the Blessing of the Month below was appropriate as we gather together on different occasions to reap what has been sown. It is great that we are able to do this again, thinking back to last year. Also, you will find a piece on St Luke on Page 21, which I felt was also very fitting, especially as we are privileged to have a group of medical staff showing us another side of their skills in the Old harry bar on October 16th. As the nights draw in, a lot of people struggle with their energy levels, so this array of things to do is a great way to boost our energy and look after our wellbeing. If you know someone who struggles with the change of season, why not invite them out and help give them a boost. Sharon Westman, Editor Gratefulness “Small grateful acts every day can uplift us, make a difference for others, and help change the world.” Blessing of the month You bless us with Kitchen Noises – with the sound of chopping, the rumbling from washing pots and pans, the clinking of silverware, the clang of glass on glass, the whistling of the kettle, and all the homely rattle and clatter produced by preparing food and washing dishes.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

  • Swanage and Portland: Historical
    1 Swanage and Portland: Historical IN THE BEGINNING On the 6th of January 1786 two men scaled the cliff near Seacombe. Unlike climbers today this pair were not driven by challenge but by necessity. They were crew of the Dutch East Indiaman Halsewell, which had been blown onto the rocks by a violent gale. They raised help and, although the captain’s daughters perished, being too terrified to leave their cabin, another eighty of the ship’s complement of 240 were saved from the sea. One of their number was coloured and therefore a rare sight for the insular locals. Unfortunately, he was not to survive the short journey to shelter up at Worth Matravers; the stile where he died is still known as Black Man’s Gate. Interest in the considerable extent of limestone along the Dorset coastline near Swanage can be traced back to the obscure origins of the cliffstone trade in medieval times. Serious quarrying activity dates from about 1700 and continued up to the mid-nineteenth century. It was during this period that the platforms at Tilly Whim, Dancing Ledge, Winspit, etc. were cut, a legacy later to be enjoyed by the climbing fraternity and in those days put to extensive use by the smugglers whose affairs were rife all along the Dorset coast. Quarrying of the cliffs themselves finally ceased with the closing of Seacombe in the 1920s and of Winspit in the 1950s. For the first documented ascent of any part of the Swanage cliffs other than for commercial gain, we have to go back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, the time of the Empire and the great Victorian pioneers, when famous alpinists such as Mummery, Tyndall, Whymper, and the notorious Aleister Crowley were practising their alpine climbing on the chalk precipices of Beachy Head and at St Margaret’s Bay.
