This year we had a very serious thinking session as to whether, with my health problems, we should even offer to take 'Near Christmas' bookings but we were encouraged to do so by a sudden rush of phone calls asking us to visit both previously visited, as well as 'new visit' care homes. As a result we have been quite busy. If anyone would like to give us any other booking dates now or throughout the year, we are open to offers! We do not charge but willingly accept contributions to our chosen charity for the year 2018 Weston Hospice).

Many of you will already know them from the lovely ‘Tiffin at the Pier’ and ‘Tiffin at the Beach’ in Clevedon where they have built up an excellent reputation for their fabulous food and great customer service over the last few years. If you don’t already know them, you are in for a treat! You can follow this link to their website and press announcement to get your mouth watering in anticipation! https://www.tiffingroup.com/news/launch-the-farm/ We’ll post updates on our website https://www.bullockfarm.co.uk/24/Facilities Coming Soon - Tiffin Café at Bullock Farm Tiffin Group are delighted to announce the latest addition to their unique portfolio of venues, with the opening in mid-March 2019 of ‘Tiffin Café @ Bullock Farm.' Located at Bullock Farm in picturesque Kingston Seymour, this fully licensed 35 seat indoor/40 seat outdoor delightfully located venue, will continue the Tiffin theme of serving locally sourced produce in Tiffin style. It will operate Monday to Sunday daytimes, with later summer evening closing to enjoy that cool glass of white wine or locally produced beer and cider. Nick Wring, Tiffin Group Marketing and Development Director said, ‘Bullock Farm location situated 10 minutes drive from our Clevedon venues with parking for 50 cars makes perfect sense as an alternative destination for our guests. It enables us to continue the popular coffee and cake style offer enjoyed at our Beach venue, while extending the food to serve good farm style cooking utilising all the fabulous regional produce we have sourced for years, all within a few miles radius. Sundays will be all about creating a terrific homestyle roast lunch, and there is the interesting seasonal option to also retail the local veg and produce we use every day. Bullock Farm whose name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, is already well known for its top-quality fishing lakes, cottages and campsite and we thank Farm owners Philip and Jude Simmons for working with us on making it possible. We are super excited about creating over time yet another welcoming and unique destination for our guests.’ ‘The Farm’ as it will be fondly known on their web site www.tiffingroup.com will be the 7th addition to the Tiffin Group portfolio, joining ‘The Beach’ and ‘The Pier’ venues in Clevedon, along with their Jersey venues ‘The Museum’, ‘The Brasserie’, ‘The Marina’ and ‘Infusion’. 5 All Saints Flower Guild Thank you so much to all those who helped with the arrangements in and around the Church for Remembrance Weekend.

As this is the last magazine of this year, I would like to wish everyone all the joys of Christmas and a Happy, Peaceful New Year. Thank you for all your support over the last year. Sue Hyde, Chairman Christmas is coming….. …… and it’s now frighteningly close! There’s little we can do to help you with most of the hard work to come but that wonderful tradition, the Kingston Seymour Christmas Post, can help with the delivery of all the cards you’re sending to other people in the village. The poster on the back of this magazine has all the details. Please don’t forget to put a little more than a name on the envelope, an address is required! Judy and Robin do a marvellous job sorting all the cards and delivering many of them themselves. With typically more than two thousand of them, however, they can’t do it all unaided. We have some help lined up with the sorting, but they’d be very grateful for volunteers to deliver 6 some of the cards around the village. Please call them on 832612 if you can help – even if it’s just a few near your own home. If you are not able to make it on the day please call this number as they are delighted to have some of them in advance – to reduce the chances of being buried in an avalanche of cards on the day! Have a great Christmas. Graham Daniel A note from Mike Wallis........ On the 14th November 2018, I tendered my resignation as a member of the Kingston Seymour Parish Council. I have represented the village on the parish council for over ten years and joined because I felt it was important to have a representative on the council with a rural background. I have lived and worked in the village all of my life, and I believe that I am probably the least travelled outside the village, however I am surely the most travelled in the village. The reasons for my resignation are as follows: North Somerset Council was invited to draw up a road safety plan in response to villagers concerns regarding speeding traffic in the village area. In this plan there were a number of road markings to be placed in the most rural parts of the village where there is very little traffic, and this included six ‘slow’ markings. I gave these some thought and then I realised that they were all along the proposed Weston to Clevedon Cycle Way. In my view North Somerset Council were using the road safety plan for their own benefit. I attended a council meeting at which only four of the seven councillors were present. The councillors voted in favour of the plan which will cost in excess of £4,800 and this will be financed by the parish, with no contribution from North Somerset Council. It was at this point that I resigned and further reasons are below.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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. Wick St Lawrence, Old stone crosses, Documentary and photographic, 2018, Y5, v1 3 Site location Fig 1: Location - the red arrows indicate the position of the two crosses Wick St Lawrence is a tiny village 2.7km NE of Worle village centre and 20km west of Bristol, reached by a drive of some 3.6km from the A370 at Hewish.
