Water Splash – B3089 A few yards beyond The Black Dog pub, in the direction of Salisbury, there is a drainage problem that has been reported to Wiltshire Council. The drains are running freely but water collects at the side of the road creating a large water splash. This is because the drains are not sited at the lowest point in the road and there is no gully to channel the water. The Parish Council is aware that pedestrians walking along the pavement are often soaked by vehicles driving through the splash but unfortunately Wiltshire Council regard any remedial action as a low priority.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

The Department of the Environment lists it as a ‘woollen mill’ and ‘early 19th century’.1 These two statements alone demand explanation.

  • The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1
    The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1 OR the work of George Fox in Wiltshire see Wilts Notes <§ Queries, ii, 125-9, and The Journal of George Fox, Fed. N. Penney (Cambridge Edn.). The subsequent history of the Quakers in the county can be traced from the MS. records of the various quarterly and monthly meetings, from the Friends' Book of Meetings published annually since 1789 and the List of Members of the Quarterly Meeting of Bristol and Somerset, published annually since 1874. For the MS. records see Jnl. of Friends' Hist. Soc., iv, 24. The records are now at Friends House, Euston Road, London. From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Quakers' story is of a decline which was gradual until 1750 and thereafter very rapid. The Methodists and Moravians largely supplanted them. An interesting example of the change over from Quakerism to Methodism is to be found in Thomas R. Jones' The Departed Worthy (1857). This book tells the life story of Charles Maggs, a distinguished Melksham Methodist. When Maggs first went to Melksham just after 1800 he made the acquaintance of two Methodists named Abraham Shewring and Thomas Rutty. The family names of Shewring and Rutty both occur in Melksham Quaker records between 1700 and 1750. Even more interesting is the fact that Abraham Shewring was known as " the Quaker Methodist " and that Charles Maggs found that " the quiet manner in which the service was conducted scarcely suited his warm and earnest heart "* WILTSHIRE QUARTERLY MEETING, c. 1667-1785 By 1680 the number of Quaker meetings in Wilts had reached its maximum.
