Ideas welcome. Please let Penny know in advance if you are coming (01256 321423 or [email protected]), though you can collect & pay for your ticket on the door on the night. And please let her know if you can offer to prepare or supply buffet food. A LOOK AHEAD - OR BACK? Following Luke Winter’s talk on Rebuilding the Past on 14th May, we are planning a visit to The Centre for Ancient Technology at Cranbourne on the following Saturday, 16th May. More details later. We are also hoping to visit the Museum of London in the Spring. 2 BAHS 2015 Trip To Northern Cyprus We are considering a week-long trip to Northern Cyprus for early May 2015. We would have Ian Williams (part-time Cyprus resident) as our guide and would be using his contacts to get a good deal on accommodation and transport. We would fly from Stansted and would hire mini-buses in Cyprus to get around. The likely cost is around £500 plus food and drink. Northern Cyprus has more than enough historical sites to fill a week, and the spectrum includes Bronze Age and Roman sites, together with later Crusader and Venetian castles. As well as all of this, Northern Cyprus is relatively under- developed and offers a glimpse of a Mediterranean lifestyle that has disappeared elsewhere. The provisional programme is as follows: Weds 6th May Travel to Cyprus Thurs 7th May Kyrenia, including Kyrenia castle. Bellapais and St Hilarion Castle Fri 8th May Karpaz and St Andrew’s monastery Sat 9th May Guzelyurt Museum, Soli, and Vouni Sun 10th May Nicosia, Agia Sofia/Selimiye Mosque, Great Han Mon 11th May Famagusta, Enkomi, St Barnabas and Salami Tues 12th May Lambousa, Lapithos and the Necropolis of Karm Weds 13th May Return home In order to secure flights and accommodation at these rates we would need to decide whether to go ahead by the end of the first week in January. If you think you would be interested in coming along on this trip, please contact either Ian Williams (01256 462688) or Mark Peryer (email: [email protected]). 3 Fieldwork Report Mark Peryer – Tel: 01256 780502, email: [email protected] The day after my return from the society’s Fenland trip I was walking along the canal towpath into Newbury to go to the bank when I spotted something going on in Victoria Park. An information table was set up and I could see a Wessex Archaeology Land Rover so I wandered over to find a test pit dig in progress. I started talking to the various archaeologists who were very excited about the micro-liths they were turning up. Phil Harding was there, and we had a brief discussion about the fact that it was just a stone’s throw over the dual carriageway from the Faraday Close type site (Mesolithic). Phil was convinced that the reason that they were turning up the microliths was the use of fine sieves, and wondered what other evidence had been missed in the past. This was to be a portent for the summer. Basing House During July and August Southampton University were busy excavating the “New House” site at Basing House. Several of our members helped Nicole Beale and her team with their recovery of the western end of the building. Sadly, they seemed to be retracing the work carried out by the Duke of Bolton at the turn of the 20th century, but it was useful to get things recorded. One of the primary motivations for the dig was to provide a training experi- ence for the Southampton students, and I’m pleased to report that working alongside BAHS members was viewed as a positive experience for both staff and students. Nicole hopes to be back at Basing House next year and we have made it clear that we can do some pre-work to cut back undergrowth so that the excavations can move to virgin territory in the New House area. Dig Basing! September saw the Dig Basing community archaeology project, which we ran in collaboration with Chris Elmer. We started the digging with a briefing on a Friday evening that included drinks, nibbles and a chance to socialise. Everyone seemed to enjoy being told how to dig and record a test pit, not to 4 mention receiving a health and safety briefing. The next day we got 5 test pits going in gardens scattered around Basing, with a mix of residents and BAHS volunteers digging and recording. A finds processing centre was set up in Cow Byre at the Basing House visitors’ centre and by lunch time the first bags of finds were beginning to filter in. By the Sunday morning we had 7 pits in progress across the village. At the end of the first weekend 4 pits had bottomed out and had been back filled, and 3 were left to be continued, either during the week or the following weekend. The next weekend saw four pits completed but with quite a backlog of finds processing opening up. Dig Basing – Location of the 2014 Test Pits 5 The test pits were mostly dug along in gardens along The Street in Basing, but there were a few others that were in other parts of the village. The pits themselves did not necessarily strike archaeological gold, but one definitely located the tow path of the Basingstoke Canal in Redbridge lane, another located a drainage channel in a garden close to the Loddon, and one opposite the Crown produced lots of the type of building rubble familiar to those who have worked at Basing House and the Grange. The finds that came up represented a cross section of the dateable spectrum with microliths, Iron Age pottery, through to modern day plastic toys. In many cases the finds were mixed up and unstratified, suggesting agricultural activity. With some extra work from Dr Jude Jones from Southampton University and Ginny, we have now processed all the finds after trying to analyse and generally make sense of what was found, we presented the results to those who took part in the project at a celebration on the 30th October. The project seemed to go down well with those Basing residents who took part, and Chris Elmer is studying the impact of the project as part of his PhD research so there is more to come on that side as well. I’d like to thank all the BAHS members who took part, either digging or supervising. In particular, David Whiter who acted as our contact man in Basing and Ian Waite who jumped in to sort out the logistics for the project with his usual level of practicality whilst I was elsewhere on business. There were many lessons learnt on how to run a project like this, but the primary one was that we must do it again, next year. 6 Hill Fort Atlas The Hill Fort Atlas project has now got underway with a visit to the “other” Oliver’s Battery at Abbotstone, just north of Alresford. The survey was a pilot, intended to work out how to fill in the survey form and to try to find the best way to do the surveys. One finding is that areas of these forts tend to be covered with undergrowth, so this is more of a winter activity than previously thought. Penny Martin has compiled a list of Hill Forts in our area and over the coming winter months there will be several surveys. Contact Penny if you would like to get involved. Email: [email protected] F.O.A.M. There will be a F.O.A.M. event at Odiham Castle on Saturday 22nd Novem- ber. This will be led by one of the rangers from the Basingstoke Canal Society and is a follow up to the work that we have done in previous years to keep the site under control and free from undergrowth. If you would like to take part, please contact me for more details. Personal Column … Homeless Shed (GSOH) WLTM Loving Landowner We are looking for someone with some space to provide a loving home to the Society’s field work store shed. Currently, we are using a shed in Mary Oliver’s garden, but sadly it has reached the end of its life and since Mary’s garden is in a conservation area it is going to cost us about £180 to make a planning application to erect a new one. If you are reading this and you have a corner of your garden which could provide a home for our storage shed, then I’d like to hear from you.

    Appendix 1 – Parish Council Responses

    Appendix 1 – Parish Council responses Oakley Parish Council Initial Comments Object: “The Planning Committee of the Oakley and Deane Parish Council met last evening and discussed the above application. The members object to the application, for the following reasons: The closure of Roman Road will be a huge mistake. The safety issues at Wellington Terrace are undoubtedly important but to close the access to the A339 will make the Main Street slow and congested, and add time to journeys from Oakley , Overton and Whitchurch to the hospital, to Chineham and Reading etc. Re the traffic control from the closed off Roman Road to Main Street – it is not clear from the application how this will be managed. Traffic flows from Oakley, Overton and Whitchurch do not take into account all the new developments agreed in the Local Plan (a total of 870 new homes). The projected Main Street traffic flows appear to ignore all traffic from Oakley and Overton. If Roman Road is closed, Main Street itself will be a barrier across the development and there is no realistic chance that people will walk or cycle along a road that will have to take all the HGVs (who are following the recommended route from the M3 to the B3400 ) that cannot come under the Worting Road bridge due to height restrictions, plus all the traffic from Oakley and Overton and other points west. The proposed closure of Roman Road will make drivers use the rat run through Wootton St Lawrence to avoid using Main Street. This will create safety issues, because the Wootton Road has poor visibility, is very winding, and has no lighting.

In a letter dated 20 December 1984 we were informed of your predecessor's decision not to give effect to "our proposals to transfer part of the parish of Monk Sherborne, at Charter Alley, to the parish of Wootton St. Lawrence. He felt that in the light of representations subsequently made to him this element of our proposals warranted further consideration. Accordingly, in exercise of his powers under section 51(3 ) of the Local Government Act 1972 he directed us to undertake a 'further review of the parishes of Monk Sherborne and Wootton St. Lawrence, and to make such revised proposals as we saw fit before 31 December 1985. CONSIDERATION OF DRAFT PROPOSALS 2. In preparing our draft proposals we considered a number of possible alternative approaches to uniting Charter Alley within one parish, bearing in mind the represent- ations made to the Secretary of State. 3. The first was to create a new parish consisting of the northern parts of the existing parishes of Monk Sherborne and Wootton St. Lawrence and bounded in the south by the A339. One difficulty with this approach was that whilst Monk Sherborne Parish Council would have welcomed the idea, Wootton St.

A residential property in Cannon Heath, Overton, was broken into during daylight hours and jewellery was stolen. An electric bike was stolen from a garage in Ecchinswell. Some facts about burglaries (sources in brackets). Most burglaries take place between 10am and 3pm. (Safestyle UK) The average burglary lasts for eight minutes. (Dr Claire Nee, Unviersity of Portsmouth) Many burglaries are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions by a burglar who notices an open door, open window, valuables on display or some other weakness. (Thames Valley Police) The vast majority of burglars will want to avoid meeting the home’s occupants at any cost. (The Independent) A burglar may typically examine many houses before finding one that looks like an easy one to steal from. Homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Good window locks and strong deadlocks can make a big difference. In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in.

    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 119 THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROMANO - BRITISH POPULATION IN THE BASINGSTOKE AREA. By SHIMON APPLEBAUM, BXITT., D.PHIL. HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.

INTRODUCTION 1. This case concerns the Wootton St Lawrence Armet (“the armet”). An armet is a type of helmet, worn by knights and men-at-arms during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and characterised by a rounded skull, with an extended tail-piece at the back and hinged cheek-pieces which opened to accept the wearer‟s head and which when locked closed around the face at the chin. This armet is a good example of a rare type, probably of Flemish origin, and dating from about 1500. There are in England only fourteen other surviving continental armets, all of which at some stage were displayed in English churches. No English armour dating from around 1500 and before survives apart from this group. Apart from its historic interest, it is also an article of intrinsic beauty and fine craftsmanship, unusually retaining its later, seventeenth century painted decoration. 2. Church treasures, as such articles are sometimes described, are rightly prized. As was said in Treasures on Earth (a report by a working party of the Council for Places of Worship, 1973, para 2): “[O]ne of the most excellent ambitions of Christians…has been to express their faith in the language of the arts – in architecture, sculpture, painting, mosaic, music and poetry – and thus to build houses of God which are symbols of that faith, thereafter furnishing them with objects as nearly worthy of the worship of God as human skill can make them.

Located just to the north of Basingstoke in North Hampshire, it comprises 1200 inhabitants residing predominantly in the village of the same name. In 2013, following active support from Basingstoke & Deane BC, the Parish Council (SSJPC) took the decision to produce a Neighbourhood Plan, in line with the 2011 Localism Act. There is a feeling of external threat to the integrity of Sherborne St John; this initiative by central government provided an opportunity to retake a measure of control for our locality - our Community. The Plan is seen as a natural progression from the Village Design Statement completed in 2004 and relies on and develops many of its conclusions. The SSJ Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, working under the auspices of the Parish Council, has completed an extensive programme of consultation within the local community of Sherborne St John. This underpins the consultation feedback, which forms the central foundation on which this SSJ Neighbourhood Plan is based.
