The Warren is also under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme and additional thanks go to Simon Tame of Natural England for giving permission to conduct the evaluation excavation. A big thanks is also due to Stephen and Liz Hobbs for all the help in organising the geophysical surveys, excavation and volunteers. Without their support and enthusiasm none of this work would have been possible. The geophysical survey was undertaken by a number of people and thanks are due to Sean Hawken and David Miller. Thanks are also due to additional geophysical surveying undertaken by David Miller and Tim Robinson (Hartland Abbey). The excavation benefited from the hard work of a large number of people, in particular, Sam Walls, Wendy Howard, and Becky Miller who all worked tirelessly to ensure a high standard was maintained throughout the excavation. Alison Mills from Barnstaple Museum gave advice and support during the excavation and also provided help with the school activities. Thanks also go to Bill Horner and Francis Griffiths for all their sound advice during the planning stage. Jonathan Bray, Simon Hogg, Peter Jones, Dean McMullen, Harry West-Taylor and Fiona Reading helped with the post excavation work, especially with the illustrations. -

Northern Devon in the Domesday Book
NORTHERN DEVON IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK INTRODUCTION The existence of the Domesday Book has been a source of national pride since the first antiquarians started to write about it perhaps four hundred years ago. However, it was not really studied until the late nineteenth century when the legal historian, F W Maitland, showed how one could begin to understand English society at around the time of the Norman Conquest through a close reading and analysis of the Domesday Book (Maitland 1897, 1987). The Victoria County Histories from the early part of the twentieth century took on the task of county-wide analysis, although the series as a whole ran out of momentum long before many counties, Devon included, had been covered. Systematic analysis of the data within the Domesday Book was undertaken by H C Darby of University College London and Cambridge University, assisted by a research team during the 1950s and 1960s. Darby(1953), in a classic paper on the methodology of historical geography, suggested that two great fixed dates for English rural history were 1086, with Domesday Book, and circa 1840, when there was one of the first more comprehensive censuses and the detailed listings of land-use and land ownership in the Tithe Survey of 1836-1846. The anniversary of Domesday Book in 1986 saw a further flurry of research into what Domesday Book really was, what it meant at the time and how it was produced. It might be a slight over-statement but in the early-1980s there was a clear consensus about Domesday Book and its purpose but since then questions have been raised and although signs of a new shared understanding can be again be seen, it seems unlikely that Domesday Book will ever again be taken as self-evident. -

HTM/12/8 Public Right of Way Committee 1 March 2012 Definitive Map Review 2011 - 2012 Parish of Abbots Bickington Report of the Head of Highways and Traffic Management Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that it be noted that the Definitive Map Review has been completed in the parish of Abbots Bickington and no modifications are required. 1. Summary The report examines the Definitive Map Review in the parish of Abbots Bickington in Torridge District. 2. Background The original survey, under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, revealed two footpaths in Abbots Bickington, which were recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement, Holsworthy & Broadwoodwidger Rural District with the relevant date of 1 July 1958. The review of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1970s, but was never completed, produced no proposals for change to the map in the parish. The Limited Special Review of Roads Used as Public Paths (RUPPS), also carried out in the 1970s, did not affect this parish. 3. Review The current Review began in April 2011 with a special public meeting held in the Parish Chairman’s House. Public consultation was carried out and the review was advertised in the parish and in the North Devon Journal. The responses were: County Councillor A Boyle - no comment Torridge Devon District Council - no comment Abbots Bickington Parish Meeting - no comment British Horse Society - no comment Byways and Bridleways Trust - no comment Country Land & Business Association - no comment National Farmers’ Union - no comment Open Spaces Society - no comment Ramblers' Association - no comment Trail Riders' Fellowship - no comment No valid proposals arose as a result of the consultation. -

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court. -
