  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.

While there are no additional statutory controls attached to the Register, Government planning advice is that ‘the effect of proposed development on a registered park or garden or its setting is a material consideration in the determination of a planning application’ (PPG15 para.2.24), and in line with that advice Mid Devon’s adopted local plan has a policy for the protection of Knightshayes and its setting.

  • Growing Mexican Oaks in Devon, UK
    Growing Mexican Oaks in Devon, UK Michael Heathcoat Amory Chevithorne Barton, Tiverton, Devon, United Kingdom The Start I have been collecting oaks for the last 27 years at my home in Devon in South West England where we have less sunshine than in the eastern counties, but rather higher rainfall. In winter we tend to have one or two cold spells, interspersed with warm periods. We have our fair share of snow and frost, and sometimes damaging, sub-arctic winds. But we knew oaks grow well on our soil, because the dominant hedgerow tree in our part of Devon is Quercus robur L. The Chevithorne Collection The collection, which currently consists of about 400 different taxa, is far from complete and about 95 of the taxa are still at the greenhouse and polytunnel phase. Most of these will be planted out over the next 1 – 3 years. About one quarter of the collection consists of oaks which come from Mexico. There are three categories: Oaks that only grow in Mexico, oaks that grow in both Mexico and the US, and oaks that grow in Mexico and in the other countries of Central America. This paper encompasses all three categories. The First Batch of 26 Mexican Oaks When the collection started at the end of the 1980s there were few Mexican oaks easily available. We planted our first Mexican oak in 1989, Q. durifolia Seemen ex Loes., an upright angular tree which is now just under 10m in height. Quite early on we backed expeditions to Mexico whose main purpose was to find the acorns of a wider range of Mexican oaks.
