  • How Congresbury Has Grown
    How Congresbury has grown A report for Congresbury Parish Council Authors: Tom Leimdorfer, Stuart Sampson Publication June 2015 Updated January 2018 Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [1] Congresbury Key Figures Population 3497 Age breakdown Source: Census 2011, National Office for Statistics Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [2] Household properties 1475 Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [3] How Congresbury has changed over 100 years The population of Congresbury grew by just over 450 people between 1901 and 1961. During the 60’s the population of the village doubled as by 1971, the census showed 3397 people. This can be seen in diagram 1. Diagram 1 – Total population reported in Congresbury1 A large part of this growth was due to the action of Axbridge Rural District Council in the post-war years to build the Southlands council estate to ensure that local working people had homes in which they could afford to live. Even at that time, when a cottage in the old part of the village became vacant it fetched a price which local young couples could not raise. The Rev. Alex Cran’s history of Congresbury recounts the tensions of the time. Opposition to the Southlands estate came from those who wanted ‘infill’ amongst the rest of the village, but such a scheme would have been too expensive (p216 ‘The Story of Congresbury’). Bungalows in Well Park were partly aimed at persuading older residents to move to smaller houses from Southlands and vacate the larger dwellings for families. Many homes in Southlands Way, Southside and Well Park are now privately owned.

The area comprised mainly agricultural land, and contained a bathing pond of 19th century date. No definite archaeological remains were detected but the potential for discovery of such remains was thought to be good. [Au(abr)] Archaeological periods represented: PM 1/539 (B.69.Q001) ST 39816642 BS21 6XG LAND AT YEW TREE FARM, KINGSTON SEYMOUR Land at Yew Tree Farm, Kingston Seymour, North Somerset. Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Architectural Survey Cotswold Archaeology Cirencester : Cotswold Archaeology, 2003, 38pp, figs, refs Work undertaken by: Cotswold Archaeology The report involved a desk based assessment and a recording of post-medieval barns standing on the site. Yew Tree House (a Listed Building) within the study area, was identified as the most important consideration. The desk based work revealed potential for Bronze Age deposits due to the peatlands in the area being exploited during this time. Iron Age and Romano-British deposits might also be present, especially due to the nearby archaeological site of St. Georges, which revealed an important salt production site dating to both periods.

Flailing of watercourse banks will normally be necessary and this may take place several days before the weed-cutting work. All works will be undertaken in accordance with the Board’s Conservation Policy and Best Practice Guidelines. Riparian owners are reminded that in accordance with the Board’s Byelaws (2011) a 9-metre wide strip of land from the top of the bank should be kept clear for access and maintenance purposes. This particularly applies where land has been sub-divided to form small ‘pony paddocks’. The Board has legal right of entry, whilst efforts are made to minimise damage to crops it may not be possible to interrupt or delay the programme to avoid harvesting operations, as the Board’s contractor follows well-established operational routes for maximum efficiency.

  • Breeding Birds of the Strawberry Line (Vale of Winscombe Section)
    BREEDING BIRDS OF THE STRAWBERRY LINE (VALE OF WINSCOMBE SECTION) By Dr. Lincoln Garland Introduction The Strawberry Line, or Cheddar Valley Railway Line, is a footpath/cycleway extending for 10 miles along a dismantled railway corridor between Yatton and Cheddar in North Somerset. It is deeply cherished by neighbouring communities and I am very fortunate to have lived alongside it for the last six years. Over this time, I have become increasingly familiar with its natural seasonal rhythms, including those of its birdlife, which are the subject of this article. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to make use of my permissible daily exercise to record the distribution of the breeding birds on my particular ‘patch’ of the Strawberry Line - the Vale of Winscombe section. This stretch of the Strawberry Line breaches the picturesque Mendip Hills between Sandford Station and Shute Shelve Tunnel, passing through the village of Winscombe halfway across (Figure 1). I was partly inspired into action by what I perceived to be a particularly high abundance of birdlife along the Strawberry Line in contrast with neighbouring relatively intensively managed farmland and even compared with some local Ancient woodlands, where birdsong often seems conspicuous by its absence. As a consequence of the lockdown and associated reduction in noise pollution, multiple media stories have described how the pace of life slowed for many people, who in turn became increasingly cognizant of their natural surroundings, and in particular of birdsong and the psychologically healing (biophilic) effect that nature’s soundscape can have. In telling the story of the Strawberry Line’s birdlife I hope that I can provide an added layer of interest for locals and visitors, which might also help in these difficult times deliver an enhanced dose of Vitamin N or Nature’s Fix, to borrow the biophilic terminology of Richard Louv (2017) and Florence Williams (2017) respectively.

  • Yatton Yesterday No. 8 1991
    YATTON E S T E R D A Y No: 8 ~ 1991 Yatton Local History Society Editorial Our front cover for 1991 depicts the Methodist Church in Yatton. Since we now have our bi-monthly meetings in the church hall, and have been made very welcome, we thought we would make this small tribute. As always, we are indebted to John Scally for the art work. Bob Young, though still a member, asked to be relieved of the position of President in which he has served us for four years. His help and advice to me as Chairman have been invaluable,as have his contributions to ‘Yatton Yesterday’; our grateful thanks, Bob. ‘A History of Yatton’, compiled by Marian Barraclough from research by Society members, is another milestone in the Society’s programme. Whilst not imposing on ‘Yatton Yesterday’, it provides a superb background to our individual researches. Books 1, 2 and 7 of ‘Yatton Yesterday’ have completely sold out; copies are available of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our venture for 1992 will be to video the main events in the village during the year. Plans are at an early stage yet, but it is hoped to record Yatton’s history for posterity. Anyone interested in helping with this project please contact the Society. Our thanks are due once more to the local newsagents and Claverham Post Office for distributing ‘Yatton Yesterday’ free of charge. They have done this generously for seven years, and promise to help with this edition. Contributors from outside the Society continue to help us – our thanks to them.

Magnetic anomalies in the gradiometry survey suggest the possibility of brick burning in clamps, and the hypothesis is put forward that this was for the construction of The Brick House and its stables, garden walls and other features in North End, an anomalously early and large brick building for the area. Acknowledgements A Heritage Lottery Grant enabled the purchase, by YCCCART, of a Bartington Gradiometer 601 without which this survey could not have been undertaken. This survey would also not have been carried out without the willing permission of the landowner, Mr G. Burdge, and his agent, Mr F Malton. The authors are grateful for the hard work by the members of YCCCART in performing the surveys and Vince Russett for editing.

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.
