  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

Recent Government guidance directs conservation area appraisal documents to identify local distinctiveness and the qualities that make an area unique. Conservation area boundaries are inevitably subjective in complex environments, and are based not only on architectural, land-use or historic attributes, but on the dynamic experience of walking or driving through an area. Map based boundaries are taken into consideration, but sensational qualities such as the awareness of enclosure or openness and degrees of noise and activity are also important in defining edges to character areas and the conservation area. In coastal areas, the boundaries may follow the line of the mean low water mark which is the extent of the jurisdiction of the Council and so is used for consistency. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 also makes provision for schemes to enhance the area, so the inclusion of areas of potential allows for schemes to be put forward which will improve the area in keeping with its own individual character, and to the same high standard.

DAVIS. BARTON MANOR—SOUTH FRONT, 184O. At the commencement of the reign of Henry the III., 1216, the manor of Whippingham was the property of the family of Fitz Stur, the descendants of William Fitz Stur, one of the soldiers of William the Conqueror. Several manors in the Island, Gatcombe, Westover, Westcourt, Wootton, were possessed by the different branches of the large and powerful family of De Insula or De l'lsle; The Fitz Stur family of Whippingham came to an end about this time, an heiress was the sole remnant. She married Walter de Insula the senior, the representative of the branch of that family located at Wootton. Amongst the .children of that marriage was John de Insula, who became a priest, and in 1275 was rector of the church of Shalfleet. At the same date Thomas de Winton was rector of the church of Godshill. His name indicates that he came from 296 the city of Winchester. At that time there was a practice common among priests, which in some cases has survived even to the present day, of setting aside the family name, and adopting the name of the place of birth.1 There must have existed, probably for some years, a close friendship between these two rectors. We have no indications of the reasons that led them to that determination, but their friendship eventuated in their jointly founding at Barton, a college of secular priests.
