Memorial benches – Cllr Hewitt advised the council that the families of the late Mr Holly and Mrs P Curnow had approached the council to consider the installation of memorial benches. The council discussed the options for locations, including the Glebe and at the triangulation point on Hambledon Hill. Cllr Hewitt will discuss with Cllr Hewitt the families the idea of benches on the upper Glebe area along with alternative memorial options for Mr Holly’s families to consider. It is noted that the family of Mrs P Curnow have already purchased a bench, which will be installed and maintained by Mr T Stephens on behalf of her family should the proposed location be acceptable, whilst the Clerk has the cost purchase price of this bench should she be instructed to include such on the councils insurance schedule.

This report will be used as part of the evidence base in the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.3 This supporting document aims to generate options for the identification of sustainable settlements. These towns and villages will be the focus for future development and will be shown with a settlement boundary in the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.4 This report serves as only a part of the evidence base which will inform the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. Full stakeholder and community consultation will be undertaken, following the statutory requirements of the ‘new’ planning system, and the corporate objectives of the Council, in order that the final decisions made by the Council are fully informed by the views of the District’s communities.

  • Ibberton Millennium Book FINAL COPY.Pmd
    Ibberton Village in the Year 2000 BY THE VILLAGE FOR THE VILLAGE THE VILLAGE VIEWED FROM THE CHURCH This is a record of the village of Ibberton in the Year 2000 told by the people who live here. Villagers’ accounts of their lifestyle provide a snapshot in time and comparisons are briefly drawn with bygone days. Ordinary annual events and activities provide a perspective on community life. There are also reports on the special projects and events that contributed to the Millennium Year Celebrations. ABRISTENTONA TO IBBERTON One thousand years ago the Doomsday Book records the Saxon name of our settlement as Abristentona, and over the years the name gradually developed into Ibberton. The village nestles in the lee of Bulbarrow Hill and evolved according to prevailing circumstances. In the early days lack of understanding about the techniques of land clearance and drainage resulted in the dwellings and cultivated land being sited on the lower chalk slopes and green sand immedi- ately around and below the church where numerous springs provided water. Evidence of the early settlement is found in the terraced slopes on the hillside above Manor House Farm. A knowledge of drainage and land clearance enabled the community to develop the lower ground where the major part of the village is now sited. The village has had many owners, the most historically famous was probably Henry VIII’s wife Catherine Howard, although there is no evidence that she ever resided at the Manor House. In the nineteen seventies the last large landowner, the Pitt Rivers family, sold off much of the land and houses into private ownership, but prior to that the farms and cottages would have been leased from the Estate.
