Two 20th century Grade II listed buildings, however, border the proposal site to the east. While the existing hedgerow would significantly limit the visual impact of the proposed development on the listed buildings, it would, nonetheless, have to be sympathetic to their character. The study area contained significant evidence for activity of all periods and a Roman coin was found immediately to the east of the proposal site. The area of the proposal site where the new school building is to be constructed was never developed and has only ever been used agriculturally and as a sports field which would not have caused significant disturbance below the topsoil level so that any below-ground archaeological deposits and finds that might have been present should have survived reasonably intact. It is considered that further information from field observation may be required to establish the archaeological potential of the proposal site. This could be achieved by an appropriately worded condition to any consent gained.

The project was commissioned by Ms Suzanne Gough of Wiltshire Council, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire BA14 8JN and comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains which may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Planning consent is to be sought from Wiltshire Council for development of land at The Stonehenge School, Antrobus Road, Amesbury, Wiltshire. This assessment will accompany the application in order to inform the planning process with regard to potential archaeological and heritage implications. This is in accordance with the Department for Communities and Local Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012) and the Council’s heritage policies. Site description, location and geology The proposal site is located towards the northern extent of the town of Amesbury, south Wiltshire, approximately 12km north of Salisbury. It comprises an irregular parcel of land covering an area of c. 5ha and is centred on NGR SU 1590 4164 (Fig. 1). The proposal site is bounded by properties fronting Cold Harbour and The Drove to the north, properties on Holders Road to the east, a pedestrian and vehicular access road (which can be accessed from Antrobus and Holders roads) to the south and properties on Cold Harbour and Antrobus Road to the west. A site visit conducted on 4th July 2017 showed that the proposal site is currently occupied by the buildings, sports grounds and other facilities of The Stonehenge School. Two areas within the school complex are to be subject to the proposed development: a grassed playing field located at the north-eastern extent of the school complex (Fig. 2, Pls 1-3) and sports pitch located at the north-western corner. The proposal site lies on Valley Gravels (BGS 1976) at a height of approximately 70m above Ordnance Datum in the west rising to approximately 80m above Ordnance Datum in the east. 3 Planning background and development proposals Planning permission is to be sought from Wiltshire Council to construct a new school building in the north- eastern section of the school complex and resurfacing of the existing sports pitch in the north-western corner of the complex (Fig. 21). The Department for Communities and Local Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012) sets out the framework within which local planning authorities should consider the importance of conserving, or enhancing, aspects of the historic environment, within the planning process. It requires an applicant for planning consent to provide, as part of any application, sufficient information to enable the local planning authority to assess the significance of any heritage assets that may be affected by the proposal. The Historic Environment is defined (NPPF 2012, 52) as: ‘All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora.’ Paragraphs 128 and 129 state that ‘128. In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation. ‘129. Local planning authorities should identify and assess the particular significance of any heritage asset that may be affected by a proposal (including by development affecting the setting of a heritage asset) taking account of the available evidence and any necessary expertise. They should take this assessment into account when considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset, to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposal.’ A ‘heritage asset’ is defined (NPPF 2012, 52) as ‘A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority (including local listing).’ ‘Designated heritage asset’ includes (NPPF 2012, 51) any ‘World Heritage Site, Scheduled Monument, Listed Building, Protected Wreck Site, Registered Park and Garden, Registered Battlefield or Conservation Area designated under the relevant legislation.’ ‘Archaeological interest’ is glossed (NPPF 2012, 50) as follows: ‘There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with 4 archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them.’ Specific guidance on assessing significance and the impact of the proposal is contained in paragraphs 131 to 135: ‘131. In determining planning applications, local planning authorities should take account of: the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; the positive contribution that conservation of heritage assets can make to sustainable communities including their economic vitality; and the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness. ‘132. When considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. The more important the asset, the greater the weight should be. Significance can be harmed or lost through alteration or destruction of the heritage asset or development within its setting. As heritage assets are irreplaceable, any harm or loss should require clear and convincing justification. Substantial harm to or loss of a grade II listed building, park or garden should be exceptional. Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, grade I and II* listed buildings, grade I and II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional. ‘133. Where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, local planning authorities

  • ASPECTS of Tile MONASTIC PATRONAGE of Tile ENGLISH
    ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis.

  • Mynsters and Parishes: Some Evidence and Conclusions from Wiltshire
    Chapter 20 Mynsters and Parishes: Some Evidence and Conclusions from Wiltshire Jonathan Pitt Fortunate historians find themselves taught or supervised by an academic who inspires and whose reputation for knowledge, scholarship and judgement proves to be justified during the experience. A desire to emulate that teacher or supervisor is likely to result and, though often remaining unrealised, may still result in small contributions to our knowledge of the past. Whether it is fortunate to begin a programme of research at a time when the foundations of the topic are under attack is less certain. The ‘minster model’1 describes a system of early medieval pastoral provision based on a network of churches which, being generally the oldest in their parishes, had responsibili- ties towards, and rights over, those parishes—the latter, naturally, larger at the time than parishes of the later medieval period. In accordance with their func- tions, typically these ‘minsters’ required a staff of several clergy and a landed endowment to match. Aspects of the model have been a matter of debate, fuelled by questions of terminology and by scepticism, particularly as to how early a network of mynster parishes might have existed.2 Though understand- able in light of the available evidence, some of this seemed founded on 1 To set out the basics: P.H. Hase, “The Development of the Parish in Hampshire, particularly in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries” (PhD thesis, Univ. of Cambridge, 1975); John Blair, “Secular Minster Churches in Domesday Book,” in Domesday Book: A Reassessment, ed.

    Andrew C J Rhind-Tutt Friday 3rd May 2019 Mr Richard Price Case Officer A303 Stonehenge - Planning Inspectorate Via email to [email protected] and [email protected] My registration number 20020846 Dear Sirs, Objection to the application by Highways England for an Order Granting Development Consent for the A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down – TR010025 I am the founding chairman of the Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust, president of Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce and Industry, former councillor and Mayor of Amesbury and a direct descendant of a previous owner of Stonehenge. I am also a highway engineer, with senior level experience in road & lighting maintenance. I have served on many planning committees, dealing with large and complicated applications and as being a property developer I am a fully qualified, NHBC approved construction engineer. This letter sets out my written representations of the objections I wish to raise at the enquiry in accordance with your rule 8 letter dated 11th April 2019. My observations are in direct response to the initial announcement of the proposal and the details within the subsequent application documents by Highways England, which include their case for the scheme. My first observation to the planning proposal is to question the objective of the scheme. If I may remind ourselves what the Prime Minister David Cameron (Conservative) said when he visited Stonehenge hours after an early morning visit by deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) on 1st December 2014, promising £2 billion shortly before launching the 2015 general election campaign. The Prime Minister claimed there was now an 'unstoppable momentum' behind the scheme.

  • The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.

  • Wiltshire Yews – Grovely Wood Yew Avenue
    Wiltshire Yews – Grovely Wood Yew Avenue Grovely Wood is the largest tract of woodland in southern Wiltshire and is found along the chalk escarpment that separates the Nadder and Wylye rivers before they converge near to Wilton, the ancient capital of Wessex, approximately three miles from the Cathedral City of Salisbury. Grovely Wood formed part of a grand hunting forest and was part of the lands belonging to Wilton Abbey. In 1541 Henry VIII gave Wilton Abbey and its surrounding land to Sir William Herbert (created 1st Earl of Pembroke 1551), whose family has owned it ever since. Turn off the A36 at Stoford, about 3½ miles west of Wilton, and head to Great Wishford, crossing the Wylye on route. Keeping the church on your left and the public house on the right pass underneath the railway bridge and keep on the no through road for approximately one mile. Park in the designated area at OS184/SU062347. Walk up the main track to a green triangle of grass, then head east past a metal barrier and down a beech lined avenue (First Broad Drive). This follows the course of a Roman road (or Lead Road) which ran through Wes- sex from the lead mines of Chaterhouse in the Mendips Hills of Somerset, to join other ancient routes at Old Sarum. The beech avenue, seen here, continues east for about two miles and contains approximately 400 trees. Within a few paces you reach the first shelter belt of trees leading south. Follow the track between these trees and continue south until you meet a major track heading east and west.

  • THE STORY of an ENGLISH SAINT's CULT: an ANALYSIS of the INFLUENCE of ST ÆTHELTHRYTH of ELY, C.670
    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.
