It is a living working remnant of medieval England with a sense of continuity, tradition and history. It is not the survival of just one special quality but a whole range of features that bring a sense of continuity and integrity. Where there are areas of special historic and architectural interest the Authority has the opportunity to designate these as conservation areas. Every area has its own distinctive character made up from topography, historic development, current uses and features, buildings, paths and lanes, hedges, trees, place names. Understanding and appreciating an area’s character, including its social and economic background, and the way these factors have shaped the place should be the starting point for both its management and its future. This is the purpose of this document. The character appraisal considers: . The location and setting of the area . Historic development . The character of the area in detail . Building materials and details . The contribution of the natural environment This document is for: . Anyone who is interested in finding out about the area . Anyone proposing to carry out work in the area . Organisations responsible for any aspect of management of the area .

  • CORNWALLIS REMEMBERED WEEKEND 5Th-7Th July 2019 Invitation to the 1805 Club Members
    CORNWALLIS REMEMBERED WEEKEND 5th-7th July 2019 Invitation to The 1805 Club members Alison Reijman, Geraint Day and Stephen Tregidgo July 5th this year marks the 200th anniversary of the death of Admiral Sir William Cornwallis, Commander-in- Chief of the Channel Fleet between 1801 and 1806, who was a key figure in the Trafalgar Campaign and a great friend of Lord Nelson. In 1800, Cornwallis made his home at the Newlands Estate in the Hampshire village of Milford-on-Sea, located on the edge of the New Forest. The village is the setting for a weekend of bicentenary commemorations and activities that the Milford-on-Sea Historical Record Society (MoSHRS) is organising in partnership with The 1805 Club from Friday 5th July to Sunday 7th July. Our partner, MoSHRS is one of the oldest local history societies in the country. Founded in 1909, the Society has so far collected more than 8,000 historical records which it is making available through its online archive catalogue. The Cornwallis Bicentenary Project is one of its two current major activities and we will join its members during the weekend for a commemoration service, a visit to Buckler’s Hard and a commemoration dinner. Cornwallis was a key figure in the Royal Navy for 50 years. Joining the navy in 1755 aged 11, his illustrious career spanned four major wars – the Seven Years War with France, the American Revolutionary War with America and France, the Third Anglo-Mysore War with Tipu Sultan (aided by France) and the French Revolutionary War. The period between 1803 and 1805 was known as the Trafalgar Campaign, the aim of which was to prevent an invading French fleet from both forming and consequently crossing the Channel.

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF MONUMENT The Burrard Neale Monument was erected in Walhampton, Hampshire between 1840 and 1842 in memory of Sir Harry Burrard Neale (photo 1). The monument, a 22 m tall Egyptionate obelisk, consists of a 17 m tall granite needle sitting on a stepped square plinth topped with an Egyptian cornice. The monument is constructed of large Dartmoor Blue Granite blocks from the Foggintor Quarry. Raised stone tablets with cast iron plaques are placed centrally on each of the faces of the plinth; each plaque provides information about Sir Harry’s life (photo 2). A scarab has been carved into each face of the needle just below the pyramidal top. The base of the monument is surrounded by Purbeck limestone paving bounded by granite kerbs containing the stubs of the original railings which were removed during World War II. The railings surrounded the monument on four sides with tall corner posts terminating in a trident, one of which has survived in an adjoining garden (photo 39). The monument lies in the New Forest National Park and is listed Grade II*. KEY PLAN, ORIENTATION AND PHOTOGRAPHS This report should be read in conjunction with drawings S1 and S3 which are appended.
