  • Meadowlands in Time: Re-Envisioning the Lost Meadows of the Rother Valley, West Sussex, UK
    Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Alastair W. Pearson 1 and Philip J.

[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.

Thankfully as one or two leaders drop out, others return from sickness and injury. Thank you all leaders for your continuing efforts to fill our programme. As we write this letter, the weather is perfect for walking. We have recovered from the summer's heat, which was too much for some of us, but we now start to consider the possibility of mud! One strolls leader has entitled her mini-series 'On Sussex Hills' after the Sussex drinking song composed by Hilaire Belloc and sung frequently by the South Downs Folk Singers. Many other leaders have obviously been thinking the same, alert to the difficulties last winter and spring brought us - spot the hills in the titles! Some of you have been asking about numbers on walks. For the May to July programme the average was 6 or 7 per walk. Certainly in the very hot weather many stayed at home. Hopefully we shall see some of you at the Christmas lunch on 7th December and at the Christmas Walk and Stroll on 13th December with lunch at the The Shepherd and Dog, Fulking followed by Carols in Newtimber Church. Rosemary Warren (Walks co-ordinator).
