For centuries Worcestershire’s economy has been based in agriculture and its farm buildings are a vitally important part of the landscape. The Historic Farmstead Characterisation Project aims to develop a better understanding of farmstead character, survival and current use. The project does not involve detailed recording of individual buildings, but is trying to improve our knowledge of farmstead distribution and scale, the arrangement and function of buildings and the degree of change between the early 20th century and the present. The project is funded by English Heritage and the Rural Development Agency (Advantage • In the photo: a farm at Conderton West Midlands), in partnership with with a three bay threshing barn and local councils, and is currently being in the map , a lost farmstead • undertaken throughout the West Midlands Region. building traditions and farming practices.

  • Violet Click Beetle 12
    Species Fact Sheet No. VIOLET CLICK BEETLE 12 What do they look like? The adult is a long thin blue beetle - not violet as the name suggests! How else might I recognise one? The larvae, called ‘wire-worms’, are long thin whitish-coloured grubs that live in a rich mixture of decaying wood, leaf-mould, and bird droppings in the centres of very old trees. What do they eat? The larvae live off the nutrients from the mixture of leaves, decaying Classification wood and bird droppings that they Kingdom: Animalia live in. Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Where do they live? Order: Coleoptera Very old hollow ash trees, where the Family: Elateridae adults usually breed in the decaying wood and leaf litter of tree cavities. In Genus: Limoniscus Worcestershire the beetle seems to be Species: L. violaceus widespread on Bredon Hill, where it has been found near Bredons Norton, Even Hill, and Elmley Castle Deer Park. As well as the violet click beetle the old trees on Bredon Hill support a large number of different beetles and other insects. We think that the adults remain in the same trees all their lives, only leaving when the tree rots away and no longer provides the conditions they need for breeding. We also think that the adults fly to hawthorn blossom, and there is some suggestion that they could be nocturnal. Why are they special to Worcestershire? The violet click beetle is known to occur in only three places in Britain, of which one is Bredon Hill in Worcestershire. The others are Windsor Forest, Berkshire, and the Gloucestershire Cotswolds.
