Master Thatcher Raises the Roof E04 Page 14 Master thatchDIARYer raises the TheroHerald 3rdofJune 2011 By Mo Farrell IN his 22 years as a thatcher, 39-year-old Simon Richards from Alton has worked on more than 100 homes in Hampshire and further afield. His skills have been needed across Europe – in Norway where he was asked to thatch display housing for an African Awareness Week and in Germany where he took on his largest project to date, a hotel in Rostock.

  • Waverley Borough Council Draft Air Quality Action Plan
    Waverley Borough Council Air Quality Action Plan July 2008 Final version Anne Sayer Environmental Health Email: [email protected] Tel: 01483 523117 Council Offices The Burys Godalming Surrey GU7 1HR 1 Contents Foreword……………………………………………. 3 Executive Summary………………………………... 4 Introduction and goals of the Action Plan………... 5 1. The Air Quality Challenges Facing Waverley… 7 2. Waverley‟s Air Quality Management Areas…… 8 3. Description of proposed measures…………… 12 ANNEXES Extracts from Farnham Review of Movement Studies and Major Schemes by Scott Wilson for Surrey County Council Consultation response from Surrey County Council 2 Foreword The air we breathe is essential for life – yet we often take it for granted. A person needs to breathe in about 25kgs of air a day to get all the oxygen they need to live – many times more than the weight of food or water needed. Consumers can make choices about whether to drink bottled water or eat organic food. But when the air around us becomes polluted it has the potential to affect everyone. Equally, the key to air pollution prevention is in everyone‟s hands. Waverley Borough Council is required to produce this Action Plan to demonstrate how air pollution in its three Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) is being tackled. But rather than simply focus on tackling the issues identified in these three areas the document seeks to take a broader approach – raising the awareness of air quality throughout the Borough of Waverley. 3 Executive summary Waverley Borough Council has produced this Air Quality Action Plan as part of its duty under the Environment Act 1995.

  • Hartley Mauditt Hartley Mauditt
    Hartley Mauditt Hartley Mauditt 1.0 PARISH Worldham, formerly Hartley Mauditt 2.0 HUNDRED Alton 3.0 NGR 474300 136100 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Greensand 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Hartley Mauditt was formerly the central place of its own parish. It is now classed as a deserted medieval settlement (DMS), the principal earthworks of which can be seen in the fields immediately north-west and south of the surviving parish church. The other principal feature of the settlement is a large spring-fed lake that is situated to the east of the church and is separated from it by a narrow road, the former route to Selborne Priory and onwards to Selborne. The lake supplies a stream that passes through settlement earthworks south of the church. The parish has been absorbed into Worldham CP and West Worldham is 1km north. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 & 5) Church & manor house + associated settlement 6.1 Church & manor house Hartley Mauditt church is the only surviving building of the Medieval settlement. At 148.32 AOD it stands above ground to the west that drops to 134.0 AOD within 0.5km. The former manor house is well documented. Its traditional site is now occupied by a copse within 30m west of the church (Paragraph 11.0 No. 1). A new manor house was built in the early C18. It is thought to have been demolished c. 1798. 6.2.1 Associated settlement The presence of other settlement buildings north, west and south of the church is attested by the numerous earthworks.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

    Liss Abbas & Liss Turney (Burgates) Liss (Liss Abbas & Liss Turney [Burgates]) 1.0 PARISH Liss 2.0 HUNDRED Liss (Abbas): Meonstoke (until 1831, then Finchdean) Liss (Turney): Odiham 3.0 NGR Liss (Abbas): 477500 128400 Liss (Turney): 477500 127900 4.0 GEOLOGY Liss / Burgates Folkstone Beds. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Maps 2 & 3) The present ‘town’ of Liss has been sub-divided into ‘East’ and ‘West’ Liss. However, these sub-divisions appertain to Modern development east and west of the railway; they have no relevance to the medieval manor estates of Liss Abbas and Liss Turney. These manors are associated with settlement areas that lie north-north-west of Liss station by 1.4km and 1.2km respectively. 5.1 Liss Abbas is represented by the site of Lyss Place (c. 70m AOD). It is the site of post-Conquest medieval fishponds and the remains of a monastic grange of St Mary’s, Winchester. 5.2 Liss Turney is less easy to identify than Liss Abbas. The best indicators of the manorial centre are the Church of St Peter at Burgates (Farm) and the area now known as Upper Green, but called Liss Green on the Tithe Map of 1840. In reality, the manor of Liss Turney is unlikely to have had a clear-cut geographical boundary. In this survey it is used a term of convenience for the settlement area that includes Burgates Farm, The Plestor, and Upper Green. This group is sometimes known as West Liss but this is a vague term of relatively recent origin. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 4 / 1, 4 / 2, 5 / 1, 5 / 2, 6 / 1 & 6 / 2) 6.1.1 Liss Abbas: monastic grange Lyss Place is now a single farmstead and as such it would not normally fall within the scope of this survey.
