  • Essex Acid Grassland Surveys
    13. Essex 13.1 Physical Geology The solid geology of Essex is buried by drifr over about half of the county. Chalk outcrops in the far north west, whilst ridges of Tertiary sand and clay outcrop in the south and east. The north western half of the county is dominated by boulder clay, but gravels of various sorts also occur here, and gravels are extensive in the south and east. Soils Dry acid soils are not recorded as abundant within Essex according to the soil association map (Map Ib). 13.2 Landscape history 19th Century In the early 19th century unenclosed heathlands were scattered through the east of the county, especially on the Tertiary ridges. In the south there were several large pasture woodlands including Epping Forest. Current landscapes and Natural Areas English Nature divides the county between the East h&an Plain (NA50) to the north and the London Basin (NA66) to the south. The London Basin includes the surviving Epping Forest and small relics of thc eastern heaths, and also includes the areas of lighter soils around Colchester, which have a few relics of former heaths. The coastal edge is within the Greater Thames Estuary Natural Area (NA67). 13.3 Existing information Flora The coincidence maps of the lowland acid grassland species listed in Table 1 (Maps 2 to 4) show that there were concentrations of these species between Colchester and Chelmsford but that these have suffered considerable decline. In contrast, Epping Forest appears to have always been species-poor. There are two modem floras covering all or parts of the county (Jemyn, 1974 and Tarpey & Heath, 1990).

  • Notes on Bromley and the Neighbourhood.*
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 24 1900 ( 139 ) NOTES ON BROMLEY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.* BY PHILIP NOltMAN. BROMLEY, no doubt, sprang up as a town originally from being the residence of the Bishops of Rochester, who were connected with the place for so many centuries. The earlier history of its church and manor has been very well written by Dr. Beeby in Volume XIII. of Archceologia Gantiana (not to mention previous authors), and by Mr. Clinch in his Anti- quarian Jottings, published in 1889. I will not needlessly o-o over the old ground, but will confine myself, as much as possible, to a record of curious facts about this town and neighbourhood likely otherwise to be f orgotten, and of changes in its physical and social conditions from the time that my family first came to reside here until my own boyhood. Much of the information contained in this Paper is derived from a manuscript written by my father, who was one of the original members of the Kent Archseological Society, a contributor to its publications, and keenly attached to his native district. My great-grandfather James Norman settled at Bromley Common about the year 1755, in a house built at the beginning of last century, and known as the Rookery, which is still standing, though much transformed and added to. It had been previously occupied by the Chase family and others; the Chase arms remain, painted on the ceiling of the staircase. Bromley was then a small country town, with two annual fairs and weekly markets, first granted as long ago as the reign of Henry VI.
