The burial lay directly on top of an ancient soil containing Neolithic flint tools including a barbed arrowhead and was apparently covered by a very shallow mound of chalk. Close to the skull, though disturbed,

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This booklet has been produced to help guide visitors through a beautiful and unspoilt part of West Sussex within the South Downs National Park. The Octagon Parish is made up of eight villages with churches: Stansted, Racton, Stoughton, East Marden, North Marden, Up Marden, Compton and Forestside and two villages without churches: West Marden and Walderton. Blessed with wonderful walks and fine views down to the south coast, its small ancient downland churches are noted for their spiritual peace and tranquility, some dating back to Saxon times. There are two stately homes in the area: Stansted House and Uppark. To mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, The Octagon decided to establish a long circular walking route using existing footpaths and bridleways to link all the villages together. This is called The Octagon Way and is about 18 miles long. There are also eight circular Octagon Short Walks of 2–4 miles each.

  • The House from Walderton, West Sussex
    he house from Walderton in the parish of Stoughton, TWest Sussex, is externally a 17th century building with walls of flint and brick. Beneath its 17th century exterior is a medieval timber-framed building which itself is a replacement of part of an earlier build- ing, discovered during archaeological investigation of the site. The dismantling, recording and re-erection of this house was the first substantial piece of building archaeology undertaken by the Museum. An article written by Fred Aldsworth and Richard Harris describing the structural history of the house, the archaeologi- cal excavation that was carried out after its dismantling, and a brief history of the ownership of the house was published in Sussex Archaeological Collections in 1982. Building archaeology Analysis of the surviving timber showed that the medieval building comprised an open hall at the west end, which was heavily soot-blackened from the open hearth, and a ground floor room with a first floor chamber above at the east end. A cross passage probably divided the two ends. Beyond the west end of the hall there must have been an earlier structure which could have been in line with or at right angles to the surviving building, but the form and dimensions of this are not known. At some point before the main 17th century alterations the walls of the eastern half of the building were provided with substantial flint foundations. The house The 17th century refurbishment amounted almost to a com- plete rebuild. The accommodation created was in two halves, separated by the new chimney stack and the remains of the earlier from cross frame, intercommunicating only via a lobby inside the north doorway.

The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens. It is important to note that the many contributors to the text gave their time freely and with generosity to ensure this work was completed within a tight timescale. Many of the contributions were typed by Rita Hemsley. Special thanks must go to Alan Knapp for compiling and formatting all the computerised text.

  • Nigel Holmes Report
    Environmental Quality Appraisal of the River Ems A Report to EA, Sussex Area, Worthing June 2007 Dr Nigel T H Holmes ALCONBURY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS The Almonds, 57 Ramsey Road, Warboys, Huntingdon PE28 2RW, UK Tel: 01487 822020; Mobile: 07957 424887 EMAIL: [email protected] Ems Environmental Quality Appraisal – Holmes 2007 1 Executive Summary The Environment Agency (EA) identified the Ems in 2003 as being potentially over-licensed for groundwater abstraction and potentially at risk of ecological damage. Being a chalk stream bestows greater status regarding its ecological importance because such systems are Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority habitats. Continual development pressure also puts further strains on the environment and requires the EA to be able to protect the best, and enhance the rest, wherever possible. The prime driver for this investigative project was therefore to obtain as much information as possible to help the EA in this task. For each of the four reaches in the catchment, an assessment of the present-day ecological status was carried out alongside a review of contemporary and historic factors that could influence the ecological health of the river. This report presents the findings of the study. A key conclusion from the study was that there has probably been significant degradation of ecological quality, but paucity of data makes totally objective conclusions on the ‘cause’ and ‘effect’, and the severity of them, virtually impossible. Therefore it has to be accepted that conclusions drawn are not always supported by firm facts, but have been derived from many disparate sources that, taken together, do provide very important evidence of ‘damage’.
