August 2000 THE PARISHES of BERE REGIS The Venerable Graham Roblin OBE and AFFPUDDLE with The Vicarage, Bere Regis, TURNERSPUDDLE BH20 7HQ Tel: (01929) 471262 August 2000 A THOUGHT FROM THE VICARAGE BARBECUED FOR JESUS Rather selfishly I thank God for perverse things. I thank God for rain on days that I am expected to be in the garden. I thank God for cold threatening evenings in August when otherwise I would be expected to barbecue. My list of perverse hopes is quite extensive, but I keep it close to my heart. To barbecue is American. To barbecue is masculine. (Men do it.) It has even been shortened in conversation to "barbee". It does remarkably little for me, but you would never know this by looking at my face as I tip the charcoal into the rusted receptacle and leap away from the cloud of dust. The granite smile on my face remains constant through the whole excruciating performance. So it was with a slight wryness that I discovered that the patron saint of Affpuddle was barbecued. This indicated that barbecuing was not always "a good thing". I only mention this because this month, on the 10th, we remember this gruesome event. St Laurence was barbecued on 10th August AD 258. Not being influenced by America, they didn't use the word "barbee", but used the expression "roasted on a grid iron". But worse is to come. It was written down that in the middle of his torment, he addressed his torturer, "I am roasted enough on this side, turn me around and eat". We get this from the writings of St Ambrose. You can see why I have a slight aversion to barbecues, and why the annual Bere Regis Scouts' fundraising event, "Cub Roast", creates a problem. The death of Laurence had, not surprisingly, a profound influence on the tiny Christian church in Rome at that time. Almost immediately, a church was built on the site. It is still there. Its name is St Laurence without the Walls. Although there were many such gruesome killings of Christians, this one stood out, and, for many centuries, Laurence was regarded as the saint close to Christ who made it his business to pray for those of us here in earth. A portion of his charred bone was sent to King Oswy of Northumbria in 680 AD and 228 churches in England alone are called by his name. If you are a stargazer, you will see meteorites in the night sky around 10th August. They are known as the "tears of St Laurence". And if you travel to the continent "San Lorenzo" features prominently. 1 August 2000 If you were living in Affpuddle or Bere Regis 500 years ago, you might have prayed to God "through St Laurence". This stopped at the Reformation, and all our prayers are now directed "through Jesus Christ our Lord". But St Laurence, like St George, still stirs the imagination of those who understand martyrdom in the spirituality of the church. I wouldn't say that Laurence had ruined barbecues for me; that was never a problem. But I have always marvelled at the heroism of those Christians down the ages who have been prepared to die for the faith. There are people at this very moment in Muslim countries who are doing just this. It makes my own faith and commitment look very weak. We have it so easy. I sometimes wonder if I would be prepared to die for the faith. Perhaps I would. But I'm not sure I would be able to say, "I am roasted enough on this side, turn me around".

    East Chaldon Settlement Boundary Review Background Paper – January 2015

    This document contains two parts: Part A is specific to East Chaldon, showing the Council’s proposed amendments to the settlement boundary. Part B is an appendix common to all of the settlement boundary reviews and provides the Council’s approach to the review. This sets out the background to the district-wide settlement boundary review, for example discussing why the Council supports using settlement boundaries, and provides criteria for what should or should not be included within a settlement boundary. The Council is inviting comments on both parts of this document as part of the Partial Review Issues and Options Consultation which runs from 29 January to 13 March 2015. The Council will update this document after every consultation stage.

  • Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review

    Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review

    Item 14 Council Meeting – 16 January 2018 Piddle Valley Conservation Area review 1. Purpose of report The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to adopt the draft appraisal and boundary proposal prepared for Piddle Valley Conservation Area. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council designates and reviews conservation areas in fulfilment of statutory duties under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Purbeck District has twenty five Conservation Areas, twenty-two of which have been appraised and reviewed since their designation, twenty-one of these since 2008. 2.2 A conservation area is a historic built environment designation. The designation promotes the preservation and enhancement of groups of buildings and structures which hold special historic or architectural interest, together with associated spaces and trees. This is primarily achieved through the sensitive management of change within the planning process. 2.3 Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) highlights the importance of ensuring that conservation area designations are justified. This is the key objective of the boundary review, and ensures fairness in the application of controls, and soundness in case of appeal against planning decisions. 2.4 The Council has a statutory duty to consider the impact of planning proposals upon conservation areas. This is reflected in paragraph 129 of the NPPF, which requires local planning authorities to assess the significance of heritage assets as part of the development management process. Assessment of significance is a key objective of conservation area character appraisals, and therefore provides the Council with an important part of the required evidence base in decision making.

  • The Wareham Two Rivers Walks

    The Wareham Two Rivers Walks

    THE WAREHAM Two Rivers Walks TWO RIVERS WALKS The Two Rivers Walks journey through beautiful ecologically-rich areas as they wind alongside the River Frome and the River Piddle. These two rivers flow through Wareham into Poole harbour, one of the largest natural Wareham to Swineham point harbours in the world, and support a wide variety of stunning flora and fauna. Along this walk experience: - Incredible Biodiversity The two rivers walks travel through designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The combination of soil type, wet areas, tidal flooding and land management has supported the rich ecology and biodiversity for which the area is renowned. This area supports 40,000 birds in the winter, and a wonderful variety of birds can be seen throughout the year such as lapwings, redshanks and kingfishers. It is not uncommon to see otters along this route and hear River Piddle fisheries the ‘plop’ of a shy water vole dive into the water before being seen. The rivers also support a variety of fish such as Ragged Robin trout and salmon which spend much of their life at sea but return to healthy rivers to breed. - Archaeological History The stunning landscape that can be viewed along the walk has been shaped by human activity throughout the ages. Excavations have shown that the area has been used by humans for thousands of years, with relics being found that show there were once Bronze Age settlements here. River Frome reed bed The rich natural resources that were in this area, such as clay, stone and chalk were what would have once attracted settlers to Wareham.
  • Moths of Poole Harbour Species List

    Moths of Poole Harbour Species List

    Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
