  • PETER ROBSON Thomas Hardy's Ghosts
    Thomas Hardy’s Ghosts PETER ROBSON Thomas Hardy and Dorset Folklore Thomas Hardy was born at Lower Bockhampton, a hamlet near Dorchester, in 1840, the eldest son of a builder. He died in 1928 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, having long been recognised as the leading writer of his generation. Although regarding himself primarily as a poet, Hardy was and is best known as a novelist and all his novels (as well as his short stories and poetry) remain in print. His most successful novels, such as Tess of the d'Urbervilles, The Return of the Native and Far from the Madding Crowd are set in “Wessex”, a landscape which, although fictional, is recognisable as being closely based on Dorset and its neighbouring counties. Indeed, Hardy was happy to identify many of the real sources for his fictional settings, such as Dorchester for “Casterbridge”, Bournemouth for “Sandbourne”, Bere Regis for “Kingsbere” and so forth. Other identifications, since Hardy’s death, have formed the basis of a minor Dorset literary industry, which continues to the present day. Not only towns, villages and topographical features of Wessex may be identified, since Hardy also used individual buildings and real people as bases for his fiction. His determination to achieve verisimilitude in his Wessex settings is emphasised in his general preface to the Macmillan “Wessex” edition of his novels, where he explains that he had “instituted inquiries to correct tricks of memory, and striven against temptations to exaggerate, in order to preserve for my own satisfaction a fairly true record of a vanishing life.” (Hardy, 1967, p.

  • John Martin of Evershot
    Of Evershot Illustration 1: John Martins "logo" carved on both sides of tombstone. Originally there was a Maltese cross over the middle leg. John Martin was a land surveyor and valuer in Evershot, a small village in Dorset. Much about the man is unknown; we know he was born 237 years ago in Bruton, Somerset but we have no photograph, no portrait of him or physical description. We do not know whether the house he was born in still exists, where he was educated, what his father did, when he moved from Bruton and so on. In saying this however we have said nothing that could not be said about many other people born at this time; unless you happened to be the first born son of a Peer it was highly unlikely that anything, apart from your arrival and departure from this world, would have been recorded about you. That we know anything about him can be put down to three things. Firstly and most importantly of all he left a series of diaries in which he wrote much about his work and life. Secondly we must give credit to organisations such as Ancestry which have performed the extraordinary feat of scanning and publishing the records which the state was beginning to accumulate on its citizens and finally we have evidence from his occasional appearances in the newspapers. All of these sources have been used to compose a profile which, if not exactly a picture is at least a reasonable dot to dot image. This paper has been written in three parts.

  • Dorset Council Electoral Ward Mapping Submission
    Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government & Local Government Boundary Commission for England Dorset Council Electoral Ward Mapping Submission Submission on behalf of Dorset Area Joint Committee – May 2018 2 Contents Background……………………………………………………….……..……………………. 3 Purpose of this document……………………………...……………………………… 3 Methodology and Scope of the Warding Review ………….……………….. 3 Member Engagement Roadshows …………………………….…………………… 4 Summary and Recommendation …………………………………………………… 5 Annex 1 – Wider Statistical Area Map …………………………………….. 6 Annex 2 – Consultation Documents ……………………………………….. 7 (Maps and Polling District Forecasts) Annex 3 – Consultation Feedback with appendices A-G …………. 24 Annex 4 – Final Proposal for Electoral Wards …………………………. 49 (Map and supporting information) 3 Background 1. The Task and Finish Group on Boundary Review was established by the Dorset Area Joint Committee to review the electoral arrangements for the Dorset area in anticipation of the agreement of the Structural Change Order to create two new unitary councils for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole. The Group formed a submission based on a fall-back position and council size, which was submitted by the Joint Committee to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in January 2018. Purpose of this report 2.1 The Task and Finish Group carried out a review of the electoral arrangements, in accordance with the timetable agreed with MHCLG. A principal objective of the review is that each electoral ward will be served, where possible, by a single councillor. In urban areas, it is accepted, however, that this may not be possible, where it may be more appropriate to elect two or three councillors. 2.2 Fall-back warding arrangements have been approved by the Dorset Area Joint Committee for inclusion within the Structural Change Order.
