River Culm Significance River Culm Significance Introduction: This summary of significance for the River Culm has principally been created from information on the natural and historic environments as contained in the Killerton Parkland Plan (Land Use Consultants 2012). The River Culm, character area 10, from this plan is included below (ibid.p 82-85). Additional key sources include the recent historic character assessment of the Culm floodplain and water catchment (Firth & Firth 2021), the Killerton Garden CMP (Rutherford, Lovie & Gallagher, 2014) and the Killerton House CMP (Bolter 2019). A list of sources can be found in the bibliography. The River Culm A key component of the Killerton estate, the valley of the River Culm is significant • for the hedgerows, ancient and veteran trees, wet woodland habitat and associated wildlife • for the unexplored archaeological potential of the buried land surfaces of the flood plain • as the site of Columbjohn manor and mill • as the focus for generations of agricultural and industrial activity including mills and leats • as an integral element of the designed landscape at the heart of the Killerton Estate • for the potential and future use for local communities for leisure, relaxation and learning • as a place for future partnerships to deliver community, environmental and cultural benefit • as a place where global issues of climate and environment can be addressed at local scale National Designations in the area covered by ‘Green Recovery’ funding • SSSI covering Dolbury hill and an associated spur of land to rivers edge • Registered GII* Park and Garden extends to the River Culm • Scheduled monument designation covers two park pales and deer park pond • Columbjohn Chapel Listed GII • Pigeon House Listed GII • Cubby Close Cottages Listed GII • The site of Columbjohn manor house is not designated but is of schedulable quality Summary of historical and archaeological significance The Buried land surfaces The paleo-environmental potential of the alluvial silts of the extensive Culm floodplain. The silts are likely to contain preserved evidence of past populations including the use of now buried land surfaces dating back over 10 000 years. This will include pollens, botanical evidence, preserved wood and vegetational remains. There is the potential to find trackways, fish traps, river jetties and similar remains rarely found and only preserved in such environments Prehistoric populations Connections between communities operating between the high ground, including Dolbury hillfort, and the lower ground of the floodplain remain unexplored but are likely to be rich and significant Compiled by Martin Papworth & Barbara Wood March 2021 1 Human exploitation of the river and flood plain For centuries, the river and the land adjacent were the focus for industrial and agricultural activity. There are potential remains of medieval mills and of the infrastructure for extensive management of the river and meadows including weirs, leats and pools. A component of the designed landscape The river is an integral part of the landscape associated with the Registered II*, Park and Garden. It is connected to Columbjohn, the deer park, the gardens and ultimately to the house through views and vistas and as a component of a landscape intended and managed for, both work and leisure. Killerton Park, Parkland Plan LUC November 2012 (Extract P 82-5 below) 10: River Culm Historic Development 3.186 The River Culm rises in the Blackdown Hills and joins the River Exe on the north-western outskirts of Exeter. The name of the river is thought to mean 'knot' or 'tie', in reference to the river's twists and loops. One of the main developments within the character area over the past 250 years has been the loss of the meandering course that once served the mill leat, still visible as undulations within the landscape. The Culm was important historically, originally providing the site for Columbjohn mansion and powering the mill (see Character Area 4), and later as a setting to Killerton Park. Bridge over the Culm at Columbjohn, 1834 (Gendall) Key features • The River Culm and associated wetland habits • Oxbow lakes and dry river channels • Veteran trees • Cubby Close Cottage • Views to/from Park Wood & Columbjohn Wood Archaeology & buildings Compiled by Martin Papworth & Barbara Wood March 2021 2 3.187 Cubby Close Cottage is a listed building in the centre of the character area (west of Park Wood) of late 17th or early 18th century origin, probably built as a keeper's cottage. Recorded as Covey Close Cottage on the 19th century maps, with a boathouse on the northern boundary of the garden – this may have been for the use of the Aclands or for protecting a boat used to keep the waterways clear. A rectangular house platform with pieces of brick and slate is all that remains of Dunsford or Dolbury Cottages, which was located on the north west edge of Park Wood and is shown on the 1889 map and in an 1834 sketch by Gendall (see below). 3.188 The northern sections of the deer park pales, as well as the deer park pond, fall within this character area, together forming a Scheduled Monument – see Character Area 1 for more detail. The northern deer park fence shown on the early 19th century map also falls within this area and may survive in part. A previous course of the Culm is evident to the south west of Cubby Close Cottage, whilst a number of oxbow lakes add to the geomorphological interest of the river valley. Two cropmark enclosures have been identified within the character area from aerial photography. 3.189 A previous course of the Culm is evident to the south west of Cubby Close Cottage, whilst a number of oxbow lakes add to the geomorphological interest of the river valley. Two cropmark enclosures have been identified within the character area from aerial photography. Historic river c Views 3.190 Views along the valley are generally limited due to the flat terrain and riparian planting. However, views both to and from Park Wood and Columbjohn Wood are striking and important elements of the designed landscape, although the latter views have become obscured due to vegetation growth (see Character Areas 1 & 11). Views to Cubby Close cottage from the two woods are also likely to have been an important element of these designed views (the ‘cottage ‘ornee’). 0iof Park Wood to the Culm…(V10i) …and back up to Park Wood (V10ii). Compiled by Martin Papworth & Barbara Wood March 2021 3 Circulation 3.191 Although there is permissive access across several parts of the character area, access along the River itself is limited, even though it is used informally. Planting 3.192 36 large and/or veteran trees are present within the character area, the vast majority of which are English oak. The other trees comprise three of the four veteran ash trees recorded within the site and a single common lime and a sycamore. Many of the trees recorded are clustered along the margins of Park Wood and Columbjohn Wood – a collection of extremely large English oak are lined along the track which heads west out of Park Wood. Many of these trees are estimated to be over 350 years old, reflecting the field boundary that is evidenced on the 1756 map. Many trees and some hedgerows have been lost in this area as shown by comparing the historic mapping with the current landscape (Figures 2.7 – 2.9). 3.193 There are signs of significant stock damage to some of the trees in this area, with extensive poaching within the canopy drip line. The placement of feeding stations and watering points in these areas exacerbates this problem. Ecology 3.194 There are nine habitats recorded within this character area: • Poor Semi-improved Grassland – accounts for approximately two fifths of the character area. In a number of fields close to the River Culm, a greater frequency of marshy grassland species has been recorded, along with a number of relict oxbow lakes with marsh grassland species. • Semi-improved Neutral Grassland – accounts for two fifths of the character area. Fields of Semi-improved Neutral Grassland are mainly distributed to the north east of the character area and to the south of the River Culm. • Arable – two or three fields located south of the River Culm in the centre of the character area have been classified as arable habitat dominated by rye-grass. • Improved Grassland – uncultivated margins of improved grassland lie around the edges of the arable fields. • Semi-natural Broad-leaved Woodland – wet willow/alder woodland is mainly distributed in the north east of the character area; however, there are also small pockets adjacent to the River Culm. • Running Water – the River Culm; several small tributaries entering the northern bank of the River Culm; and numerous drainage ditches in this area were classified as running water. • Dense Scrub, Tall ruderal Herbs and Inundation Vegetation – there are relatively small patches of these habitat types in the north east part character area in close proximity to the River Culm . Key Nature Conservation Features: 3.195 The majority of hedgerows in this character area consist of 80% or more of native woody species and, therefore, meet the criteria for the Hedgerows UK BAP priority habitat type. There are a number of ancient and/or veteran trees within this character area, mainly hedgerow trees, which are of high intrinsic nature conservation value. Areas of wet woodland associated with the River Culm potentially meet the criteria for consideration as a local BAP type and maybe also a national BAP priority type (more detailed survey data needed to confirm). 3.196 Rivers are a national BAP priority type. Pooled and ponded water associated with drainage channels feeding the Culm and oxbow lake features are all of potential nature conservation value and may meet local or national BAP criteria for such features (e.g.

    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 12 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. Sediment yields in the Exe Basin: a longer-term perspective ANNA HARLOW, BRUCE WEBB & DES WALLING School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources, Department of Geography, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter EX4 4RJ, UK [email protected] Abstract In the UK, fine sediment is viewed increasingly as a diffuse pollu- tant due to its role as a vector for the transport of potential contaminants, and in causing siltation, which may have adverse effects on river and estuarine habitats. There is a need, therefore, for river managers to have reliable information on sediment budgets in order to plan measures that will achieve “good” status under the EU Water Framework Directive. As part of a wider sediment-budget investigation in the EU-funded Cycleau Project, detailed records of fine sediment yield over the 10-year period from 1994–2003 have been analysed for the Exe Basin (1500 km2), a principal river system of southwest England. The longer-term average yields in the three major tributaries of the Exe Basin are discussed and results of monitoring of sediment loads at a site near the tidal limit over a one-year period confirm the importance of the River Exe in contributing sediment to the Estuary. Key words diffuse pollution; Exe Basin and estuary; longer-term behaviour; suspended sediment yields INTRODUCTION River systems provide a key pathway along which fine sediment (silt and clay particles of <63 µm in diameter) is transferred from the terrestrial to the estuarine environment.

INTRODUCTION PAGE 1 ROUTINE SERVICES PAGE 1 - 2 3. CHALLENGES & PROPOSED ACTIONS PAGE 3 APPENDIX 1 - CATCHMENT MAPS APPENDIX 2 - NRA DUTIES, POWERS AND TARGETS ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 046304 National Rivers Authority South West Region 1. INTRODUCTION CATCHMENT ACTION PLANS are designed to be a simple, practical means of directing resources to achieve environmental improvements on a priority basis, between and within catchments* They set out the essential routine tasks, and a five year programme of specific actions for each catchment to meet regional and national targets. Changes may occur where unplanned work such as an extreme drought requires priority. The NRA has inherited a legacy of environmental challenges arising from the use and abuse of our natural resources. Although significant progress has already been made it will be many years before all the work needed can be assessed, funded and carried out. To achieve the environmental objectives will require not just the clear, vigorous direction of the NRA towards priority work but the help and support of the whole community. The NRA has consulted with the Regional Advisory Board and Advisory Committees and the local interests about the draft action plans and the format is the outcome of those discussions. Progress to achieve the Action Plan objectives will normally be reviewed on an annual basis but more frequently where severe problems have been identified. 2. ROUTINE SERVICES Despite the fact that the NRA is largely a reactive, regulatory body it is possible to plan for much of the environmental protection work even the fact that unpredictable events will occur! Much of the routine workload such as monitoring, enforcement of statutes and dealing with pollution and flooding incidents needs to have clear priority to ensure that it is dealt with to satisfactory standards throughout the region.

    BLACK INTERNATIONALISM AND AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN INTELLECTUALS IN LONDON, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Professor Bonnie G. Smith And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean Intellectuals in London, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith During the three decades between the end of World War I and 1950, African and West Indian scholars, professionals, university students, artists, and political activists in London forged new conceptions of community, reshaped public debates about the nature and goals of British colonialism, and prepared the way for a revolutionary and self-consciously modern African culture. Black intellectuals formed organizations that became homes away from home and centers of cultural mixture and intellectual debate, and launched publications that served as new means of voicing social commentary and political dissent. These black associations developed within an atmosphere characterized by a variety of internationalisms, including pan-ethnic movements, feminism, communism, and the socialist internationalism ascendant within the British Left after World War I. The intellectual and political context of London and the types of sociability that these groups fostered gave rise to a range of black internationalist activity and new regional imaginaries in the form of a West Indian Federation and a United West Africa that shaped the goals of anticolonialism before 1950.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • This Information Tells You About Killerton
    This information tells you about Killerton. Created by Visitors typically spend 2 hours at Killerton. 1 The Killerton Estate was the home of the Acland family. An estate is a large area of land owned by one family. The Acland family owned over 14,800 acres of land including the Holnicote estate and a house in Cornwall. 2 It was Sir Thomas Dyke Acland 10th Baronet who made Killerton the family home. In 1775, Sir Thomas employed architect James Wyatt to build a grand house. However, the relationship with Sir Thomas and James Wyatt turned bad and the house was never completed. 3 The house that you see today was a temporary house built by a new architect called John Johnson. It was finished in 1779. The grand house was never finished. People are not sure why but think Sir Thomas may have run out of money. In 2017, staff and volunteers from Killerton found remains of the grand house up on the hill. 4 Today, you can see temporary displays and the fashion exhibition inside the house. Killerton holds the National Trust's biggest dress collection with over 20,000 items. It was donated to the National Trust by Paulise de Bush. John Johnson also built the Stable Block. Sir Thomas kept his horses in here. 5 In the 1700s, Sir Thomas asked a famous gardener called John Veitch to create the garden. Today it is looked after by staff and volunteers. The garden is filled with an important plant collection from all over the world. Some of the first Redwood trees in England were planted at Killerton.

  • The Beginning Since Atomic Weapons Were First Used in 1945 It Is Odd That There Was No Big Campaign Against Them Until 1957
    13.RussellCND_Template.qxd 15/02/2018 10:47 Page 14 Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament 60th Anniversary NOW MORE THAN EVER Greetings and best wishes from the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation 14.DuffCND_Template.qxd 15/02/2018 10:48 Page 9 93 The Beginning Since atomic weapons were first used in 1945 it is odd that there was no big campaign against them until 1957. There CND 1958­65 had been one earlier attempt at a campaign, in 1954, when Britain was proceeding to make her own H­Bombs. Fourteen years later, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, who was one who led the Anti H­Bomb Petition then, was refusing the CND Aldermaston marchers permission to stop and hold a meeting on ministry land, outside the factory near Burghfield, Berks, making, warheads for Polaris submarine missiles. Autres temps, autres moeurs. Peggy Duff There were two reasons why it suddenly zoomed up in 1957.The first stimulus was the H­Bomb tests at Christmas Island in the Pacific. It was these that translated the committee formed in Hampstead in North London into a national campaign, and which brought into being a number of local committees around Britain which pre­dated CND itself — in Oxford, in Reading, in Kings Lynn and a number of other places. Tests were a constant and very present reminder of the menace of nuclear weapons, affecting especially the health of children, and of babies yet unborn. Fall­out seemed something uncanny, unseen and frightening. The Christmas Island tests, because they were British tests, at last roused opinion in Britain. The second reason was the failure of the Labour Party in the autumn of 1957 to pass, Peggy Duff was the first as expected, a resolution in favour of secretary of the Campaign unilateral abandonment of nuclear weapons for Nuclear Disarmament.
