Kingsclere Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011 – 2029 Kingsclere Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011 – 2029 October 2018 FOREWORD The Kingsclere Neighbourhood Development Plan has been developed over a period of five years by a group of volunteers from both the community and The Parish Council. This is the first time the village has had the opportunity to shape its own future and to protect itself from uncontrolled and inappropriate development. The beautiful village of Kingsclere, set in the stunning landscape of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is rich in history, whilst also possessing a vibrant and strong community. The Kingsclere Neighbourhood Development Plan sets out how the assets and strengths of the village can best be protected for both present and future generations, yet at the same time, accepting the need for at least 50 houses to be built within the village. Within this document, you will find the chosen locations for the three development sites and projects and policies which relate to the style and type of housing development envisaged. There are also policies for the protection of the natural environment and issues such as traffic and car parking, and community facilities. Many thanks to all who contributed to the preparation of the Kingsclere Neighbourhood Development Plan. Particular thanks to all residents who completed questionnaires, attended public meetings, visited our stands at village events or responded to the two formal public consultations. Your views have been a great help in shaping the plan as we worked towards acceptable and workable solutions. We would also like to thank the many members of our community who have stepped forward to work on the Plan, and the many outside consultants who have contributed their valuable professional expertise. We commend the Plan to you. Cllr. Sue Adams Cllr.

  • The Aeneid with Rabbits
    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

  • A Symphonic Discussion of the Animal in Richard Adams' Watership Down
    Centre for Languages and Literature English Studies A Symphonic Discussion of the Animal in Richard Adams’ Watership Down Elisabeth Kynaston ENGX54 Degree project in English Literature Spring 2020 Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Supervisor: Cecilia Wadsö-Lecaros Abstract The purpose of this essay is to suggest a new reading of Richard Adams’ Watership Down (1972) by adopting the recently new discipline of Animal Studies. Adams follows a long tradition of talking animals in literature, which still to this day, is an important part of the English literary canon. Throughout this essay, I shall focus on several aspects of the novel. I will look at the anthropomorphized animals and examine how the animals are portrayed in the text. I will seek to offer a structural analysis of Adams’ novel using the structure of the symphony. The essay offers a background discussion of Animal Studies as a theoretical discipline. In addition, the background will provide the reader with a description of how and why the structure of the symphony can function as a method to analyse Adams’ novel. The analysis has been divided into five parts where Jakob von Uexküll’s and Mario Ortiz-Robles’ research will serve as a basis for my discussion as I seek to provide a deeper understanding of how our perception of the animal in literature affects our idea of the animal in our human society.

Abstract This thesis analyses the major issues that occur when translating Richard Adams’ Watership Down (1972) into Dutch by categorising them into Christiane Nord’s four categories of translation problems. The focus lies on text-specific problems, such as the rabbit language Lapine, the use of eye dialect, the names of the characters in the novel, and the religious elements. Two passages of the novel have been translated into Dutch accompanied by footnotes, which explain certain choices and different options for the chosen translation. After that, a brief comparison is made between the already existing translation by Max Shuchart and the translation made for this thesis. 3 Brouwer 4140001 2. Introduction Watership Down was Richard Adams’ first novel. It was published by Rex Collings Limited in 1972 after having been rejected by several other publishers.

  • Oxford University: Two Centuries of Magical History
    Gould Senior/Undergraduate Trinity Oxford University: Two Centuries of Magical History I grew up in Pittsburgh, the second son of two parents with three jobs. By day, my dad worked at a steel company and my mom ran a travel agency. At night, the two of them would trudge upstairs to the attic, where they would answer emails for the children’s camp that they ran every summer in Upstate New York. Because they were so busy, they hired a live-in nanny, a British woman with blonde hair and bad teeth by the name of Louise Paige. Weezy, as I liked to call her, cared about me like I was her own son, and turned every outing into a story. “If you stick your gum to that tree, you’ll grow a gum tree,” she told me at the park. “That flower just told me the most interesting thing,” she said at the conservatory. “That looks like the vulture that ate Prometheus’ liver,” she said at the aviary. I think it’s because I loved Louise that I fell in love with imagination, and her homeland, England, which I imagined as a rainy, matronly country where everyone baked and it was always Christmas. Louise encouraged these interests, pulling out fantasy books set in England during our weekly trips to the library. It was Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy—given to me by Louise for my seventh birthday—that further streamlined my interest into a passion for Oxford-based fantasy. During the fall semester of my junior year of college, I had the opportunity to study abroad at St.

  • Unreliability and the Animal Narrator in Richard Adams's the Plague Dogs
    humanities Article Unreliability and the Animal Narrator in Richard Adams’s The Plague Dogs Anja Höing Institute of English and American Studies, University of Osnabrück, 49074 Osnabrück, Germany; [email protected] Academic Editor: Joela Jacobs Received: 20 December 2016; Accepted: 6 March 2017; Published: 8 March 2017 Abstract: Richard Adams’s talking animal story The Plague Dogs (1978), with its deeply genre-atypical mode of narration, offers a multiplicity of avenues to explore the literary animal as animal. The story draws much of its power from the psychological complexity and related unreliability of both canine narrators, two research lab escapees gone feral. Both the terrier Snitter and the black mongrel Rowf are mentally ill and experience a highly subjective, part-fantastic world. In episodes of zero focalization, a sarcastic voice comments on the plot from the off, aggressively attacking a thoroughly anthropocentric superstructure the protagonists themselves are oblivious of, and presenting all that is normally constructed as “rational” in the implied reader’s world as a carnivalesque farce. Combining these equally unreliable narratives, The Plague Dogs creates a unique mixture of what Phelan (2007) calls “estranging” and “bonding” unreliability and brings to light the devastating consequences of anthropocentrism. The Plague Dogs not only defamiliarizes a genre usually committed to conventional means of storytelling, but the dominant Western conception of the status of animals in the world, showing that once we start to read the animal as animal, this sets into motion an avalanche of other concepts in need of re-reading, among them the very ones making up the fundamental pillars of Western societies’ anthropocentric self-conception.

  • Society and Foundation NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2019 Message from the Headmaster, Giles Tollit
    Society and Foundation NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2019 Message from the Headmaster, Giles Tollit As we end the school year, I am delighted to share with you all the good news from Horris Hill, and there is plenty of it. As ever, academic results have been excellent and once again all our Leavers passed to their target schools: entry to these schools is ever more competitive and our results in Scholarship, Common Entrance and Winchester Entrance papers are outstanding. As well as an academic Exhibition to Winchester, one boy was awarded a Music Exhibition and three earned Sports Scholarships. Horris Hill has always encouraged boys to develop all aspects of their potential and I am delighted that the sport is at a high level here, as well as our traditional strengths in the classroom and in the Music school. Having ex-England player Nick Compton coaching the 1st XI cricketers this season was an added boost! I am delighted to announce that the fundraising target for the new theatre has been reached and that work has now started in its construction. By Summer 2020, Horris Hill boys, and, we very much hope, members of the local community, will be on stage in a state-of-the-art resource for this fundamental area of education. The other big development is that in September we welcome twenty boys into the Lower School, which is for boys aged 4 to 8. Those of you who recall the Greenhill Pre-Prep will know that these year groups are not completely new to Horris Hill, but the Lower School will be boys-only and its opening represents an important evolution for the school.

  • The Language of the Unconscious in Richard Adams's Watership Down
    The Birth of Self and Society: The Language of the Unconscious in Richard Adams's Watership Down Marc D. Baldwin, Hillsborough Community College In Richard Adams's Watership Down,1 a "family" of rabbits, suddenly and traumatically displaced from their homes by the development of the land, must search the surrounding countryside for a new "warren." In order to survive their democratic pilgrimage from innocence to experience, their mythic search for a brave new world, their initiation into humanhood, so to speak, the rabbits have to learn the signs and signifiers of humanity's world, the discourse of humanity's dealings. As a dynamic organism, the little band of rabbits grows in size and savvy, ultimately surviving through a combination of their innate instincts and the emerging self-knowledge derived from their anthropomorphic authorization. Adams's rabbits symbolize the individuation of the self as it attains actualization through language. This thrilling adventure story of rabbits fighting for their survival corre­ sponds to the dual quest of conscious beings for social and psychic identity within the cosmological scheme of things. During a seemingly peaceful late afternoon sil- flay (feeding), a little psychic rabbit named Rver, upon seeing a sign that a real es­ tate developer posted in the field, envisions the ground soaked with blood and warns Hazel, his older and larger friend, that imminent doom approaches. Al­ though the signpost of man and its attendant horrific visions for Fiver prompt their flight, all those who leave the Sandleford warren are displeased and dis­ placed and ready to leave regardless. A totalitarian state, Sandleford imposes its order and meaning upon everyone there While it may have been designed to pro­ tect them from the dangers of man and elil (predators), the cloistered warren denies them freedom, free will, and the opportunity for self-fulfillment and self-con­ sciousness.

  • Is Watership Down Just a Book About Bunnies?? on the Surface, Yes, but As Is the Case in All Allegories, It Is QUITE Possible Th
    Is Watership Down just a book about bunnies?? On the surface, yes, but as is the case in all allegories, it is QUITE possible that Richard Adams was discussing more than a rabbit tale. Watership Down tells the story of a group of rabbits who are forced from their warren. In this story, Hazel (who is NOT a girl), our protagonist, has a little brother named Fiver (his name is pronounced “five- er”…like the number five). Fiver has horrific — and as later events prove, accurate — visions of the destruction of their home warren at Sandleford, but Hazel can't convince their Chief Rabbit to pay attention to his “crazy” brother, so he persuades a few of his friends to join him in leaving their homes to escape. Of note are Bigwig, one of the community's Owsla (a sort of Royal Guard), and Blackberry, who is, by the standards of their tribe, a mechanical genius. For instance, he is the only rabbit to even come close to understanding basic physics... like, for instance, "floating on water." Caution is a way of life for these rabbits because death is a moment-to-moment possibility. They can't count past four because they only have four paws. They have their own words for everything (check the glossary in the back of the book!) and they don’t understand things like cars or trains, which they think are just HUGE animals. They don't understand visual art, or human speech, or any of the strange things humans do. Only Blackberry, Fiver, and Hazel can really "think outside the hutch," so to speak.
