    Designation of a body for English higher education information Government consultation response January 2018 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of responses received 4 Main findings from the consultation 4 Question analysis 5 Questions 1-2 5 Question 3 6 Question 4 7 Next steps 8 Annex A: List of organisations that responded to the consultation 9 Annex B: HESA Expression of interest for the role of the DDB 13 2 Introduction In order to meet the relevant consultation requirements set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA), the Department for Education, on behalf of the new Office for Students (OfS), sought views from respondents across the HE sector, including providers and students on the role of the Designated Data Body (DDB) and the functions that it must carry out. It followed an invitation for expressions of interest in the role which closed on 19 September, and to which one body, the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) provided a submission. The consultation, published 19 October 2017, therefore explored the views of respondents on the suitability of HESA to fulfil the role of the DDB, and on the suitability of any other organisation which consultees wished to suggest, but which had not expressed an interest. The responses to this consultation received both digitally and informal written responses are now informing the OfS’s recommendation to the Secretary of State on designating a data body and decision-making and design in relation to its regulatory framework, which will be published by the end of March 2018. 3 Summary of responses received Overall there was overwhelming support for the HESA as a body that is credible and suitable to fulfil the role of the DDB.

    YCCCART 2018/Y5 The Old Stone Crosses of Wick St Lawrence YATTON, CONGRESBURY, CLAVERHAM AND CLEEVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH TEAM (YCCCART) General Editor: Vince Russett Wick village green with it's impractical village cross Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 1 Contents 3 Abstract Acknowledgements Introduction 4 Site location Land use and geology 5 Historical & archaeological context 9 Village cross 15 Churchyard cross 17 References Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 2 Abstract Wick St Lawrence is one of those rare villages that possessed (and still does possess) both a village and a churchyard cross. Whether these villages are simply accidents of survival (and many villages once possessed both), or were marked out in some way in the medieval period, cannot at present be known. Acknowledgements Firstly, my thanks go to Linda Jenkins, who's pamphlet on the subject in 1991 should be far better known. Thanks to the people of Wick St Lawrence for their care of their two crosses: the village cross deserves to be better known. Introduction Yatton, Congresbury, Claverham and Cleeve Archaeological Research Team (YCCCART) is one of a number of Community Archaeology teams across northern Somerset, formerly supported by the North Somerset Council Development Management Team. Our objective is to undertake archaeological fieldwork to enable a better understanding and management of the heritage of the area while recording and publishing the activities and locations of the research carried out. Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 3 Site location Fig 1: Location - the red arrows indicate the position of the two crosses Wick St Lawrence is a tiny village 2.7km NE of Worle village centre and 20km west of Bristol, reached by a drive of some 3.6km from the A370 at Hewish.
