[email protected] (corresponding author) +44(0)23 9284 2472 2 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] +44(0)23 9284 2482 1 Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Abstract Historically, meadows provided an essential crop of hay and common grazing in a delicately managed sustainable system in harmony with their environment and were of vital importance to the agricultural cycle of farming communities. Using archival and remotely sensed data, this paper provides a speculative re-construction of a former floodplain water management system and examines the changing fortunes of the floodplain meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, revealing the process of change in both the physical and cultural landscape. The inevitable decline of the floodplain meadows of the Rother was part of a nationwide transformation brought about by the introduction of new farming practices operating in a fast- changing tenurial landscape, dominated by th e growth of landed estates where commoners ’ rights were viewed with growing contempt. Today, the current vista of the Rother reveals only remnants of the past landscape where marginal habitats, riparian fringes and meadows have made way for a monoculture of permanent pasture of poor conservation value, supporting low biodiversity and offering little to mitigate against flood risk and poor water quality.

  • Pretty Grade Ii Listed Cottage Situated at the Foot of The
    PRETTY GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE SITUATED AT THE FOOT OF THE SOUTH DOWNS duncton cottage, duncton, west sussex, gu28 0lt Period charm in a downland setting Delightful period cottage with original features throughout w kitchen with utility room and larder w sitting room w dining room w two cellars w four bedrooms w family bathroom w beautiful landscaped gardens w studio/workshop and garage Description Duncton Cottage is accessed via a private driveway into a generous gravelled parking area to the north with a path leading to the house. Built, we understand, in around 1650 with later additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The property is arranged over two floors with the principal access to the ground floor being on the eastern side of the property. In practice, an entrance on the south side into a boot room then into the kitchen beyond tends to be used on a more regular basis (an alternative entrance is located on the northern side of the house providing direct access from the driveway). The traditional family kitchen features a gas and electric fired range cooker and leads to a utility room located to the rear of the house. The remainder of the ground floor features two charming reception rooms in the form of a dining room and a sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a log burner. There is a large storage area, cellar and walk in larder. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. Of particular note are the two bedrooms to the rear of the property which both enjoy enchanting views over the garden and the South Downs.

Apologies: Thais Robertson, Kate O’Kelly (district & county councillor) 2. Disclosure of Interests: None. 3. Public questions: a.

Tree in Chithurst graveyard: see item 8e below. 4. Reports from district and county councillors: see appendix 5. Minutes from the council meeting held on 10th July 2019: The minutes were approved and signed 6. Finance a. The updated 2019-20 budget had been circulated. NR pointed out that VAT refunds from both prior years had now been received, although he had had no explanation of the delay. He also reported that the second part of the precept (£1,500) had been received since the budget was circulated. b. Members agreed to cancel the subscription to the Open Spaces Society as it had been established that the ‘memorial corner’ would not qualify as a village green and the parish had no other “open spaces”. 7. Environmental issues a. WSCC electric vehicle strategy: see appendix b. Climate change policy: Andrea Linell (AL) suggested the PC should adopt a climate change policy. After some discussion, members agreed it would not be appropriate for the PC to declare a climate emergency and that the parish did not offer much scope for specific action, but that it would certainly help to communicate guidance to residents on issues such as food and other waste disposal.
