  • Neolithic & Early Bronze Age Isle of Wight

    Neolithic & Early Bronze Age Isle of Wight

    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Resource Assessment The Isle of Wight Ruth Waller, Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service September 2006 Inheritance: The map of Mesolithic finds on the Isle of Wight shows concentrations of activity in the major river valleys as well two clusters on the north coast around the Newtown Estuary and Wooton to Quarr beaches. Although the latter is likely due to the results of a long term research project, it nevertheless shows an interaction with the river valleys and coastal areas best suited for occupation in the Mesolithic period. In the last synthesis of Neolithic evidence (Basford 1980), it was claimed that Neolithic activity appears to follow the same pattern along the three major rivers with the Western Yar activity centred in an area around the chalk gap, flint scatters along the River Medina and greensand activity along the Eastern Yar. The map of Neolithic activity today shows a much more widely dispersed pattern with clear concentrations around the river valleys, but with clusters of activity around the mouths of the four northern estuaries and along the south coast. As most of the Bronze Age remains recorded on the SMR are not securely dated, it has been difficult to divide the Early from the Late Bronze Age remains. All burial barrows and findspots have been included within this period assessment rather than the Later Bronze Age assessment. Nature of the evidence base: 235 Neolithic records on the County SMR with 202 of these being artefacts, including 77 flint or stone polished axes and four sites at which pottery has been recovered.

Updates to tasks / matters arising from meeting 6 December 2018 Bus Stops – Mark Earp and a team of four inspected as many rural bus stops as they could. It was felt that by and large these were pretty good but a few do need improvement. All bus stops had a post and a current timetable. There had been grant out for sustainable travel called the “Innovation fund” Mark wondered if anyone had applied for concreate pads, to be funded, at any of the rural bus stop locations? The General Manager for Southern Vectis Mr Richard Tyldsley has been invited to the next LAF meeting. Prior to this LAF members / guests should take time to look at the rural bus stop locations in their areas and using their local knowledge have given feedback to the LAF of any unsafe or redundant ones.
  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

Renouf, Super­ intendant of the West Wight Methodist Circuit, 80/47 by Rev. P. K. Parsons, Superintendent of the East Wight Circuit. A further deposit of West Wight material was made by Rev. A. Dodd of Totland Bay; this collection is now included with 80/1. This basic territorial division into East and West Wight, though it dates only from the Methodist unification of 1933-4, has been maintained in the scheduling of the minute and account books and miscellaneous papers. In detail the method of scheduling adopted has been to make a distinction between local circuit records and the records of individual chapels. Below these two classes a further distinction has been made between the Wesleyan Methodists, the Bible Christians (known as United Methodists from 1909) and the Primitive Methodists. For ease of access the registers, so often called for in the Record Office Search Room, have been listed together as MDR/--, . though with the distinction between circuits and individual chapels and between the various connections still.maintained. Only one "oddity" has come to light amongst these documents namely the United Methodist Free Church at West Cowes.
