  • Newsletter 8 July 2013
    Newsletter 8 July 2013 Latest News Welcome to the last newsletter of this swimming season which is almost at an end. Whilst hopefully more glory awaits our record number of WSMSC swimmers heading off to nationals – what a season it has been all round. This edition carries our usual write-ups of galas/meets, the Southern Junior League and South West Regional Championships, alongside reports received on Learn To Swim and water polo. A reminder to please support our kind sponsors who are backing us in 2013. Brilliant Bethan swims 400 lengths of Burnham Pool to help young Deborah Star billing this issue goes to Bethan Rees who completed an unbelievable 10 kilometre swim to give an African child a better life. Eleven year old Bethan has been sponsoring little Deborah Chome, six, from Kenya, for three years. Every year Bethan finds a different way of raising the £72 annual cost of giving Deborah an education. Through English language tuition, tackling basic maths and learning to read and write she will at least be given a chance to make something of her life. This year Bethan decided to head to Burnham Pool, where she swam an incredible 400 lengths – raising around £300. Bethan was up at 05.30, in sub-zero temperatures, to start swimming at 6am when most 11 year olds on their Easter holidays would still be tucked up in bed. She swam front-crawl non-stop for 3.5 hours, turning onto her back every 10th length to sip a drink whilst still kicking. Bethan told her local newspaper - the Weekly News - “I’ve always liked swimming and I just wanted a challenge.

  • The Stratford Lane Roman Road and Other Early Routes on Mendip
    Proc, Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1992 19 (2), 151-182 THE STRATFORD LANE ROMAN ROAD AND OTHER EARLY ROUTES ON MENDIP by R.G..I.WILLIAMS ABSTRACT The existence of the Stratford Lane Road was first suggested in 1906- Opinions have differed firstly as lo us course from Ihe Mendip hilltop into Ihe Chew Valley and secondly as to Us function. This road and some medieval mutes in the ure;i wliidi might have Roman or earlier origins are examined in detail in this paper which also queries Ihe theory that the River Chew was used to transport Roman lead. Fieldwork was aided by the study of documents dating from ihe .sixteenth century held locally and in Ihe United Stales »f America. Fresh information on some archaeological sites on Mendip is given, including newly identified round-barrows, old boundary stones, a pillow mound and Ihe boundary of a medieval warren. INTRODUCTION In all ages since the neolithic farming communities became settled there has been a need for both local communication between habitation sites and access to resources. The elaborately constructed wooden trackways, dated to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, found in the peat moors south of the Mendip Hills, suggest a planned communication system with connections to other areas. Iron Age settlement on Ihe central Mendip plateau in caves, enclosures and hill-forts is confined to the edges of the escarpment but there is a dispersed pattern of farmsteads in the surrounding valleys, There is evidence of bronze and iron working at these .sites but there was only a limited use of lead in the Iron Age.
