  • Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal
    Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal Conservation Areas are usually located in the older parts of our towns and villages. They are places whose surviving historic, architectural and locally distinctive features make them special. Conservation area designation highlights the need to preserve and reinforce these qualities. The policies followed by the District Council when assessing proposals affecting conservation areas are set out in the South Hams Local Development Framework, while the Supplementary Planning Document ‘New Work in Conservation Areas’ explains how to achieve compliance with them. This is essential because the Council has a statutory duty to approve proposals only if they “preserve or enhance the character or appearance” of the conservation area. The purpose of this appraisal is to set out what makes the Dartmouth Conservation Area special, what needs to be conserved and what needs to be improved. Four extensions to the conservation area are proposed and described The contents are based on an earlier draft Conservation Area Appraisal prepared for the District Council in 1999. January 2013 Dartmouth Dartmouth Conservation Area: Summary of Special Interest The position of Dartmouth at the mouth of the river Dart is of such strategic military and commercial importance, and its sheltered natural harbour so perfect, that it developed into an important town from the Middle Ages on, despite being inaccessible to wheeled transport until the 19th century. The advent of Victoria Road, Newcomen Road and later, College Way may have changed all that, but much of the character of the ancient, pedestrian town has survived. While it addresses the water, Dartmouth is a town of intimate spaces, unexpected flights of steps or pathways and steep, narrow streets with architectural jewels like St Saviours Church or the houses of the Butterwalk set amongst them.

  • Kingswear Church Tower Is Shown with a Spire Would Have Made It More Visible from the Sea and Aided the Location of the Entrance to Dartmouth Harbour
    Was Kingswear’s church tower also built for defence? by Michael Stevens Summary. In the twelfth century raids from the sea were still common and settlements tended to be inland where they would be less liable to a surprise attack. So why was the church built on the shore? The tower is over 800 years old and predates by 200 years any other tower at the mouth of the river Dart. The parish church in Kingswear dates from Norman times and still has the original tower. The first known references1 to a chapel in Kingswear are in the deeds of Totnes Priory: Willelmus de Vasci and his wife Juliana for the souls of their fathers and mothers and for the soul of Willelmus Buzun, give half the land of Kingeswere to Ricardus the deacon and to others succeeding him or serving the true God, Jesus Christ, and Saint Thomas there. By the license of lord Rogerus de Nunant whose fief the aforesaid land is and by the sanction of Wido de Nunant Renricus and Baldewinus. Ratified by the seal of lord Rogerus de Nunant and witnessed by Ricardus the chaplain, Johel de Waytord, Jordan de Hode, Robertus the serving man of Wido and the brothers of Martin. Thomas Becket was canonised in 1173 so it is assumed that the church was built or named shortly after this date. In those days people were rather superstitious and believed that their souls first went to Purgatory where they might remain unless they had done good deeds while alive and people continued to pray for them after they had died.

  • CASTLES of DEVON When You Think of Devon
    CASTLES OF DEVON When you think of Devon you don't immediately think about Castles, well I never did. To be honest as a child we always went to Cornwall and the Cornish beaches. We never explored Devon. The first time I explored Devon was when Rik and I came to Devon to look at The Ivy Barn. Well since living here we have realised there is so much more to see and so much more about Devon than first imagined. What is fascinating is that there are a number of Castles around the area which allow you to delve into the history of the area. They may not be as popular and as imposing as Windsor Castle but they still give you a insight into what the area was like centuries ago. DARTMOUTH CASTLE Dartmouth is one of my favourite towns in South Devon with the colourful residences on the hill over looking the estuary and the old tudor buildings that are along the front. On a fine day you can enjoy a river boat trip from the town quay to the castle. Dartmouth Castle has stunning views of the Dart Estuary and out to sea and was actually an artillery fort built to protect Dartmouth Harbour.It has been well positioned to guard the Estuary and the vibrant port of Dartmouth for over 600 years. The earliest parts of the castle date back to 1380s. These parts were built to protect the harbour from French attack.The Written by Nicky Cole July 2019 Information from the English Heritage artillery in those days were catapults and possibly early canons.

  • South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024
    South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty www.southdevonaonb.org.uk 1 South Devon Estuaries Key facts The AONB contains the five estuaries of the Yealm, Erme, Avon, Salcombe-Kingsbridge and Dart. The far west is bordered by Plymouth Sound. They are a defining feature of the South Devon AONB. All are ria-type estuaries, drowned river valleys, formed by the eroding action of rivers carving through the surface geology and flooding to their present geography towards the end of the last Ice Age. The Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary is a classic dendritic-ria with its many finger-like ria-formed creeks. All of our estuaries are unique in their own ways and range from the highly freshwater dominated Dart estuary to the highly seawater dominated Salcombe- Kingsbridge estuary – some describing it as a tidal marine inlet. Being ria-formed, they tend to be deep watered and have become important and popular ports and water-based recreation designations; they range from the small privately owned Erme estuary that does fully drain at low tide to the more cosmopolitan Dart estuary that attracts some of the world’s largest cruise liners. All of our estuaries still retain large areas of relatively unspoilt and undeveloped bed, foreshore and shoreline but with their considerable history of human use and harvesting, none can be described as being completely natural or unspoilt. However, they supply considerable ‘ecosystem services’ to the local natural beauty and communities and several are formally designated and protected in recognition of their rich and diverse natural history.

  • Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary
    Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s scheduling selection guides help to define which archaeological sites are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. For archaeological sites and monuments, they are divided into categories ranging from Agriculture to Utilities and complement the listing selection guides for buildings. Scheduling is applied only to sites of national importance, and even then only if it is the best means of protection. Only deliberately created structures, features and remains can be scheduled. The scheduling selection guides are supplemented by the Introductions to Heritage Assets which provide more detailed considerations of specific archaeological sites and monuments. This selection guide offers an overview of archaeological monuments or sites designed to have a military function and likely to be deemed to have national importance, and sets out criteria to establish for which of those scheduling may be appropriate. The guide aims to do two things: to set these sites within their historical context, and to give an introduction to some of the overarching and more specific designation considerations. This document has been prepared by Listing Group. It is one is of a series of 18 documents. This edition published by Historic England July 2018. All images © Historic England unless otherwise stated. Please refer to this document as: Historic England 2018 Pre-1500 Military Sites: Scheduling Selection Guide. Swindon. Historic England.
