Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • Piercefield in 2019
    Piercefield in 2019 I visited the Piercefield estate in May, 2019, using the descriptive leaflet and map Wye Valley, Picturesque Piercefield, (Wye Valley ANOB [Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty], 2012) in combination with the Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure map no 14 (Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean). In addition, a copy of a detailed description of the remains of the main features (other than the house, gardens and buildings associated with them) by Ken Murphy, The Piercefield Walks and Associated Picturesque Landscape Features: An Archaeological Survey, (Cambria Archaeology, 2005), 56pp. This shows some of the paths other than the main one, most of which are now inaccessible. The following notes are meant to compliment the above leaflet and report. Clicking on the links will automatically down-load copies. The following description includes photographs taken during the visit in May 2019 plus some of the 18th and early 19th descriptions of the features. For more detail see my web pages which contain over 220 descriptions of Piercefield and Windcliff in chronological order: Piercefield pre 1802 Piercefield 1802-1824 Piercefield 1825-1900 Piercefield Introduction which includes descriptions of the House Piercefield features which has all known descriptions of the many features of the Piercefield estate. John Wesley, the Methodist preacher, made many preaching tours of Wales. He visited Piercefield in 1769: I took a walk through Mr Morris’s woods. There is scarce anything like them in the kingdom. They stand on the top and down the side of a steep mountain, hanging in a semi-circular form over the river.

  • Heritage at Risk Register
    31 AND 32 PORTLAND SQUARE St Paul, Bristol Terraced houses, 1789-1820. Emergency repairs carried out with English Heritage grant aid. Wind- and weather-tight, but masonry continues to decay. There has been a partial collapse of the façade but current negotiations for restoration of the buildings are in progress. 240 HERITAGE AT RISK SOUTH WEST 241 SW HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the entries on the South West 1999 baseline buildings at risk register, 50% have now been removed, slightly above the national average.The total number of Grade I and II* listed buildings and structural monuments at risk on the regional register is now 162, along with 4 protected wreck sites and 1 registered battlefield at risk which are included on the South West register for the first time this year. In the past year, two notable buildings at risk were removed from the register, although seven were added.The regional position reflects the national trend of a small increase in building at risk entries on the register this year. Moreover, as more buildings at risk have their future secured, the task of finding a solution for those remaining inevitably becomes harder. Rarely do buildings receive a quick fix. Finding a sustainable long term solution for a building at risk takes a lot of dedicated hard work and can typically take a decade or more. None of the successes could be achieved without the help of our partners – owners, local communities, local authorities, building preservation trusts and other organisations. Of equal importance is the value of grant aid in appropriate cases.We will continue to target our resources to cases in the greatest need where grant aid will provide the difference to secure their future.

Forest of Dean and Lower Wye Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • Investigation Into Change of Route
    Investigation into change of route Summary There were several reasons for promoting a railway between Monmouth and Chepstow. Prior to opening the railway, freight from the industrialised Wye Valley and passenger traffic had to make a journey of 43 miles instead of 15 miles by the new route shortening the journey time by two hours. Tourists would be expected to be attracted to the beauty of the Wye Valley. The 1866 Act of Parliament authorised a route along the west bank of the River Wye passing through Tintern. The 1874 route followed the east bank of the River Wye crossing the River north of Tintern then following the same route as authorised by the 1866 Act. The original plans held by the Gloucestershire Records Office have been consulted and analysed. The only WVR board account we have found of the reason for changing the alignment simply states that the new route ‘would probably be more economical’.1 We have made comparisons between both plans and have come up with no clear-cut financial benefits but from a risk point of view we have found supporting evidence for the decision. Investigations continue to locate contemporary evidence. 1865 route and 1874 route Two principal documents were reviewed at the Gloucester Records Office. 1 The 1865 plan Ref Q/RUm/355 which was incorporated in The Wye Valley Railway Act 19 August 1866. 2 The 1874 plan Ref: Q/RUm/402/2 which was incorporated in the Wye Valley Railway Amendment Act 14 June 1875. The Records Office have noted on their file that this plan was '[Carried out according to this plan except for branch line; 38-39 Vic., cap.51.] ' The route sketch to Llandogo that was included in the 1865 plans is shown in Fig.1.
