  • Beenham Woolhampton Midgham
    July 2019 Beenham Midgham Woolhampton Aldermaston and Woolhampton Benefice There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:Ecc.3:1 Dear Friends By the time you read this, most of you will already know that my ministry will be continuing in another place and that my final service amongst you will be on 7 July, 5.30, at St Mary’s, Beenham. If it’s not too short notice and you are free, it would be lovely to see you there! My association with this benefice pre-dates its coming together in 2005; as far back as the early 90s I started attending the Aldermaston, Brimpton and Wasing churches so my young daughter could attend Sunday School. In the way of churches, I was soon on the Aldermaston PCC as Treasurer and in the York Nativity Play as First Maid! Despite living in Baughurst, I always felt part of the Aldermaston community, made good friends and attended many events, both in the village and connected with church. Over the years, I came to feel that I wanted to serve God in additional ways, but nothing seemed clear. Revd Des Foote, who arrived following the formation of this new, improved benefice, asked if I would consider Authorisation to Preach in 2008. However, not content with that, he later asked if I thought God wanted me to investigate a call to Ordination. As I’ve said previously, there didn’t seem to be a good reason to say No! I then embarked on the most amazing period of my life which culminated in being Ordained for Local Ministry in 2015 and a new role amongst you.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission for England Proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction This response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for the restructuring of the wards for West Berkshire Council is from both West Berkshire Council Members for the Burghfield Ward (Carol Jackson Doerge and Ian Morrin), one of the two Members for the Mortimer Ward (Graham Bridgman) and the single Member for the Sulhamstead Ward (Keith Chopping). All of us are members of the Conservative Group. These three wards are those that form an overlap with the Wokingham constituency (which remains unchanged in the final version of the Boundary Commission for England’s 2018 Review proposals): Burghfield (two members: Burghfield parish), Mortimer (two members: Beech Hill, Padworth, Stratfield Mortimer, Wokefield and Ufton Nervet parishes) and Sulhamstead (one member: Beenham, Englefield and Sulhamstead parishes). The proposals for changes to ward boundaries The final (revised) WBC submission to LGBCE was for a 42 member council including: a single member Mortimer Ward covering the Stratfield Mortimer parish alone, a two member Burghfield Ward comprised of the Beech Hill, Burghfield, Sulhamstead and Wokefield parishes, and a single member Aldermaston Ward comprised of the Aldermaston, Beenham, Brimpton, Padworth, Ufton Nervet and Wasing parishes. The new two member Burghfield ward would have had an electorate of +11% compared to the average number of electors per member predicted for 2022,

  • Beenham»Parish»Plan»
    Beenham»Parish»Plan» October 2010 Introduction The Beenham Parish Plan identifies actions to support the aspirations the people in the parish have for their community. It is divided as per all parish plans into the following areas: strength, health, safety, prosperity and in tune with the environment. The Plan focuses on the village area in most detail. The plan does include actions which are specific to the people living in the Aldermaston Wharf area of the parish but just lists them without further discussion. The rationale behind these actions can be found in the Padworth Parish Plan where they are elaborated upon. This is a Beenham project and, in preparing this document, all of us who live in the village and the immediate locality have had the opportunity to state what we wish to see and equally importantly, what we do not wish to see over the next decade. In preparing this Plan we have identified a number of things which we can do for ourselves, with the support of the Parish Council, some things that we will have to do in partnership with West Berkshire Council and some which we could do in collaboration with other organisations. We recognise, that in the real world it is unlikely that everything which we recom- mend can be achieved but if we do not make the effort to ensure that our voices are heard then we shall only have ourselves to blame if changes are imposed on us which are not to our liking. It is essential that we remember that the publication of the Village Plan is not an end in itself — it is merely a means towards an end.

The Quaternary valley-fillcomprises around 5–8 m of Late Pleistocene gravels overlain by Holocene peats and chalky clays. Quaternary deposits overlie an irregular rockhead erosion surface with deep scouring particularly evident on prominent bends in the valley. The gravels subdivide into a lower unit of chalky gravels overlain by coarse flint gravels. Ground penetrating radar suggests that gravels at depth are relatively structureless, but at the top show well-developed point-bar accretion surfaces which occur in association with peat-filled sinuous channels. These probably date from around the Pleistocene- Holocene boundary and may have formed in response to climate change and increased groundwater outflow as stream hydrologychanged from the short-duration, high- magnitude flows of the Lower Dryas to the uniform, low-magnitude flows of the Holocene.
