Stanton Drew ii Abstract Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society undertook geophysical and other surveys at the stone circles at Stanton Drew, Bath and North East Somerset (BANES), between May and September 2010, in collaboration with the BANES archaeologist, Richard Sermon. The surveys were intended to enhance the knowledge gained by the work carried out the previous year. The completion of a high data density magnetometer survey over the whole of Stone Close has added much extra detail, including a new henge entrance, posthole settings and an area of activity just outside the circle to the south-east. Use of resistance pseudosection profiles, together with an increased area of twin-probe resistance, has given a greater understanding of the underlying geology as well as sub-surface features. In the SSW Circle, an EDM survey has shown how the circle was positioned very deliberately to occupy the small flat plateau, with views northwards across the other circles towards the River Chew, westwards to the Cove, and across the valleys to the south and east.

    942 ECCLESIASTICAL DILAPIDATIONS J8cclestae tical 'IDUapibattons. Bv J. S. BLAKE REED. HE RE is, in some respects, an analogy discoverable T between the holding that a parochial incumbent enjoys in respect of the freehold which vests in him by virtue of his office, and the positior. which is occupied by a tenant for life at common law. Both are, as it were, only partial owners of the property they enjoy, being in a large measure trustees for posterity or for the official successor who is to follow them in the enjoyment of their estates. Thus, as in the case of a tenant for life, the holder of an ecclesiastical benefice is not allowed by the law to effect such a diminution of the value of his premises as would amount to either voluntary or permissive waste. The former is committed by active destruction, such as the felling of timber, while the latter consists in such passive acts of negli­ gence as suffering fences to fall into decay for lack of repair, or allowing houses or outbuildings to become ruinous by reason of neglect. Both forms of waste, though distinguished by the common lawyer, are equally included in the ecclesiastical law under the general name of dilapidatiop.s. The subject has been extensively dealt with by ecclesiastical legislation for centuries past, and the present position of the law is one of paramount importance for all holders of country livings. Sir Simon Degge, in his "Parson's Counsellor," includes under dilapidations "the pulling down or destroying in any manner any of the houses or buildings belonging to a spiritual living, or suffering them to run into ruin or decay ; or wasting or destroying the woods of the Church; or committing or suffering any wilful waste in or upon the inheritance of the Church." Whether at common law or before the Ecclesiastical Courts, waste was always very seriously regarded.

    2011 Lake Odyssey was a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring local history through the arts with a particular focus on the 1950’s, when Chew Valley Lake was made. This was a major local event. The town of Moreton was fl ooded to make way for a reservoir supplying water to South Bristol and the Queen visited the area to offi cially open and inaugurate the lake in 1956. The Lake Odyssey 2011 project gave pupils at Chew Valley School and their cluster of primary schools a chance to explore the history of their community in a fun and creative way. Pupils took part in various workshops throughout the spring and summer of 2011 to produce the content for the fi nal Lake Odyssey event day on Saturday 16th July 2011, which saw the local community come together for a day of celebration and performance at Chew Valley Lake. Balloon Launch The Lake Odyssey 2011 project offi cially launched on Friday 4th March with a balloon re- lease. Year seven and eight pupils released the balloons to mark and celebrate the occasion. A logo competition had been running within the primary cluster and Chew Valley School to fi nd a design for the Lake Odyssey logo. The winners were announced by Heritage Lottery representative Cherry Ann Knott. The lucky winners were Bea Tucker from East Harptree Pri- mary School and Hazel Stockwell-Cooke from Chew Valley School, whose designs featured in all publicity for the Lake Odyssey 2011 project. Bishop Sutton Songwriting Swallow class from Bishop Sutton Primary School took part in a song writing workshop, com- posing their own song from scratch with Leo Holloway.

  • Stanton Drew Parish: Environment and Landscape Character Assessment
    Stanton Drew Parish: Environment and Landscape Character Assessment Page 1 of 8 Stanton Drew Parish: Environment and Landscape Character Assessment Stanton Drew parish is set in an undulating environment of mainly grassland and arable farmland containing a variety of habitats including woodlands, hedgerows, mixed flora verges, a river, riparian corridor and a floodplain. Official Designations: Area 2: Chew Valley Green Belt: the Green Belt washes completely over the entire parish Conservation Area: encompassing much of the main residential area near river and church SNCI: one follows the course of the River Chew in the northern sector of the parish another, the Pensford Complex, lies on the western boundary of the Parish and which is a known habitat for European Protected Species. Character Summary Stanton Drew Parish is located approximately nine miles south of Bristol and two miles east of Chew Magna on the southern side of the River Chew, in gently sloping and undulating countryside. The landscape of Stanton Drew Parish is predominantly rural agricultural, with ancient artefacts. In the recent past the Parish was heavily dependent on coal mining, the Pensford Colliery workings having closed down in 1959. The settlements within the Parish are dispersed with the main residential areas being: Stanton Drew main village Upper Stanton Drew Tarnwell Highfields Stanton Wick There are also other smaller clusters of dwellings e.g. Bromley Villas and Bye Mills as well as individual farms and barns. Within the Parish there are two pubs, a church, village primary school and village hall. The Stones, which are of great archaeological and historical value, being the third largest collection of pre-historic standing stones in England, are situated in several locations in the northern sector of the Parish within the Conservation Area, with a newly discovered wooden henge within the boundaries of Quoit Farm on the northern edge of the Parish.

Local tradition has preserved for us an account of their origin sufficiently miraculous. Around them in later times there has been a delicate play of archseologic fancy. In this paper it is not my purpose to criticise or to discuss at any length the final cause of their erection. The task I have set before myself is a more practical, and, I venture to hope, a more useful one. My object in the investigations, the imperfect results of which are here with some diffidence laid before the Somersetshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, has been—(1) to ascertain the nature of the rocks of which the stones ascertain such are composed ; (2) to where rocks may now be found in situ and thus (3) to ascertain whence the ancient Neolithic folk (for by them I believe the stone circles to have been erected) brought these giant stones.
