  • TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY the Benefice of Totnes With
    TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY Appointment of Team Rector January 2020 AN INTRODUCTION TO he Benefice of Totnes with T Bridgetown, Ashprington, Berry Pomeroy Brooking, Cornworthy Dartington, Marldon and Stoke Gabriel. A note from the Archdeacon Every place is special in its own way, but the ancient market town of Totnes and the beautiful South Hams of Devon in which it is set are exceptional. Both the town itself, with its distinguished history and considerable present interest, and the rural communities surrounding it offer an unusually rich and varied cultural life, from the firmly traditional to the decidedly unconventional. Totnes has long been a centre for those seeking forms of spirituality and lifestyle alternative to the mainstream, at the same time retaining all the inherited elements of a fine old West Country market town. With Dartington Hall, Schumacher College, the Sharpham Estate, and other local organisations operating in the area of the benefice, the range of cultural and educational opportunities on offer locally is high, drawing people to Totnes from across the country and beyond. The villages are home to a mix of incomers and those with local roots. There are areas of great wealth within the benefice, and also areas of severe poverty and social deprivation. In all this, the churches of the benefice demonstrate a clear and increasing engagement with their vocation to grow in prayer, make disciples, and serve the people of their communities with joy. The person called to be the next Team Rector will need to demonstrate the capacity to exercise strong, clear, loving leadership in mission and service, working with a gifted and motivated team of colleagues to develop and implement the impressive action plan to which the churches are committed.

  • Earthwork in Staverton Ford Plantation, Dartington, Devon Review and Survey
    EARTHWORK IN STAVERTON FORD PLANTATION, DARTINGTON, DEVON REVIEW AND SURVEY STEWART BROWN ASSOCIATES 2018 EARTHWORK IN STAVERTON FORD PLANTATION, DARTINGTON, DEVON REVIEW AND SURVEY By Stewart Brown Associates 2018 SUMMARY An archaeological survey was carried out on an earthwork site in Staverton Ford Plantation, Dartington. At present, prior to any excavation, the site is interpreted as of probable medieval date and its likely purpose is as a hunting lodge or warrener’s lodge, although earlier origins cannot be ruled out. Previous surveys and descriptions of the site carried out in 1980 and 2000 are reviewed. THE PROJECT Dartington Hall Estate commissioned a review and survey of an earthwork site interpreted as the remains of a medieval hunting lodge in Historic England’s scheduled monument description (the site is listed as a part of the scheduled monument referred to as the ‘deer park’ - List Entry Number: 1020870; Appendix 1, below). The work was carried out to better understand the monument in order to inform its future management. ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE EARTHWORK (Fig. 1) Prehistoric The area immediately surrounding the site contains four other earthwork sites whose origin dates from prehistoric and Roman times. In North Wood, there are three Iron Age hilltop enclosures, two at least of which were re-used in the Romano-British period (Historic England List Entry Number 1020381). In Chacegrove Wood, there is another hilltop enclosure of prehistoric date (Historic England List Entry Number 1020553). In addition, prehistoric flint finds, dated provisionally to the Mesolithic Period, have been collected from fieldwalking in a nearby field (Gloyns 2015).
