Easterton Echoes January 25Th Issue 15 Draft Copy EASTERTON ECHOES EASTCOTT AND EASTERTON SANDS ELECTRONIC ISSUE 15 JANUARY 25TH 2021 “There are no strangers living here, only friends that you have yet to meet.” Chairman’s message A New Year – a new beginning with vaccinations against Covid-19 being rolled out faster and faster in the area. There is, of course, the very real cautionary note that we have to continue to respect the current lockdown instructions and the scientific advice even when you have had the vaccination, to wash hand, cover face and social distance 2m. These are all designed to control the spread of the virus and its mutations – not only to protect lives but to reduce the pressure on our NHS workers. The rewards that we can look forward to – a slow return to some normality – will be worth this continued pressure on our sanity and well-being. Your Parish Council continues to work on your behalf although severely restricted by the effects of the pandemic on some of the support structure within Wiltshire Council. Councillors really appreciate the neighbourly help given within the community, and recognise that success in containing the infection in this area is down to each and every one of our readers playing their part – thank you. I don’t normally draw attention to poems but hope that some part of the following will strike an encouraging note with readers. Chris Saunders New visions of all that is noble and true, New powers for service, new knowledge of God, New zeal for the ways that the heroes have trod, New comforts, new courage, new graces, new joys, New peace where the evil assails or annoys, New friendship, new helpers, new faith and new love, New treasures on earth and new treasures above, New wisdom, new glory, new health, and new cheer, Nothing old, all things new, in the happy new year! (anonymous) NEXT PARISH MEETING: 15TH FEBRUARY 2021 AT 7:30PM ON ZOOM For any further information or if you would like to attend the meeting please contact the Parish Clerk. Email: [email protected] THE PARISH COUNCIL NEEDS YOU ! The Annual Parish Meeting is coming up in April and is open to all the parishioners. Easterton Parish Council invites a guest speaker to talk about their subject, career or adventure. We have some options of subjects at the moment such as a talk on green energy, on Ash die back problems, on Covid but perhaps you know of a potential guest speaker for the Annual Parish Meeting who will be of great interest to us all? Additionally, with the options of Zoom nowadays, this might be an opportunity to organise monthly talks from a guest speaker with interesting jobs, careers or views. Please contact the Parish Clerk with ideas or views on any of the above [email protected] 1 of 10 www.eastertonpc.org.uk Market Lavington schoolboy has a strict message for irresponsible dog owners across Wiltshire. Noah Plumridge is frequently forced to jump out the path of dog poo on his way to school, and has now taken it upon himself to create posters and put them up across the village. The seven-year-old, who goes to St Barnabas School, said: “We walk to school three days a week and the paths we walk on have been littered with poo for a while now. I was getting fed up of my Mum shouting ‘POO’ or ‘Watch where you are walking.’ “So on Tuesday I decided to make some posters which we are sticking on the trees on the track where we walk.” Active Noah, hopes “naughty” dog owner’s will now keep the paths clear for other young people. He added: “I hope that my posters will get people to pick up their dog poo and put it in one of the bins in the village. There are lots of bins.” DOG POO PROBLEM AGAIN !! Since this 3rd Lockdown started there are some irresponsible dog owners not clearing up after their pooches. This is not pleasant nor hygienic as there is a health risk to both humans and livestock. A concerned and responsible dog owner has come across dog faeces in public areas such as the Village Hall Playing Field. Some dog owners seem to think it is OK to hang the plastic bags of dog faeces up in trees and hedgerows. This photo was taken recently on Eastcott Common footpath. This is both unpleasant for other users of footpaths, public areas and the Village Hall playing field. There are dog poo bins in different parts of the village, including 3 at the Village Hall. DON’T LEAVE IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO STEP IN. CARRY A DOG POO BAG WITH YOU AND USE IT ! 2 of 10 www.eastertonpc.org.uk STICK TO THE COUNTRY CODE AND DON’T DESTROY FOOD AND HAVE FOLLOW THE COUNTRY CODE YOUR DOG ON A LEAD Click on this link below for all the rules The Country Code in detail See what happens when you don’t stick to the path.

  • M. A. Woods Et Al. 1 a Reappraisal of the Stratigraphy and Depositional
    A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes district, southern England UPPER GREENSAND STRATIGRAPHY, DEVIZES, WILTSHIRE, UK M. A. Woods1, I. P. Wilkinson1, G. K. Lott1, K. A. Booth1, A. R. Farrant1, P. M. Hopson1 and A. J. Newell2 Woods, M. A., Wilkinson, I. P., Lott, G. K., Booth, K. A., Farrant, A. R., Hopson, P. M. & A. J. Newell. 200#. A reappraisal of the stratigraphy and depositional development of the Upper Greensand (Late Albian) of the Devizes District, southern England. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, XXX. 000 - 000. Three members are recognised within the Upper Greensand Formation of the Devizes district on the basis of outcrop, newly acquired cored borehole and petrographical data. These are, in ascending stratigraphical order, Cann Sand Member, Potterne Sandstone Member and Easterton Sandstone Member. Compared to the imprecise historical subdivisions, the members provide a much clearer indication of lithological variation through the Upper Greensand, and this in turn provides clues to its depositional development. The biostratigraphy of each member has been determined using macrofossils and microfossils. The new biostratigraphical data clarifies the relationship of the Potterne Rock to the traditionally named 'Ragstone' which caps the Shaftesbury Sandstone in the Shaftesbury district, and suggests that the correlation of the Potterne Rock and 'Ragstone' is less straightforward than previously suggested. M. A. Woods et al. 1 There are some distinct contrasts with the stratigraphy of the Upper Greensand southwest of Devizes (Shaftesbury & Wincanton districts). Whilst tectonic influences have been demonstrated to affect coeval strata in parts of the eastern Weald, these may not be the dominant control on the Devizes succession, which seems to be more strongly influenced by its palaeogeographical setting with respect to sediment source areas, and the effect this had on the volume and timing of sediment infill.

    EASTERTON ECHOES EASTCOTT AND EASTERTON SANDS ELECTRONIC ISSUE 18 APRIL 27TH 2021 “There are no strangers living here, only friends that you have yet to meet.” CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FROM THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING HELD ON 19TH APRIL 2021 Retirement of Bob Bulson from the Parish Council The Councillors took the opportunity to wish retiring Parish Councillor Bob Bulson who had stood down at the recent Parish Council nominations for Easterton to thank him for 14years service as the Easterton Flood Warden and 12 years’ service as a Parish Councillor. We commended him for all his endeavours and many hours spent walking up and down the stream, conversing with the Environment Agency and devotion to the Parish Council. By way of a thank you a gift was presented (via the powers of magic from the PC by his wife) to Bob as a sincere token of appreciation. Because of the strange circumstances that we endured since March 2020 this report must, effectively, cover the two years since the last Parish Meeting in April 2019. Much has changed in these two years although, conversely, the monthly attention to planning applications, rights of way complications, street scene care by our Parish Steward, ongoing maintenance by our Parish Gardener, and the monitoring of Easterton Brook, remain firm facts of life to keep your Parish Councillors well occupied. Cllr. Anthony Snook was co-opted in June 2019 and rapidly became industrious under the guidance of Cllr. Victoria Turner in all things Parish Steward, Parish Gardener and later the boomCast system used for disseminating important council information to the village.

The cloth towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge and Westbury were thriving when John Leland visited in 1540; but GD Ramsay thought they had passed their golden age by 1550 and declined during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Joan Thirsk – following the precedent of John Aubrey, who wrote a survey of north Wiltshire in the 1660s – characterised the region as ‘cheese country’. Based on new archival research, this thesis argues that, far from declining, cloth manufacture in west Wiltshire grew throughout the Tudor era and remained strong under the early Stuarts; that production of this crucial trade commodity gave the region national significance; and that profits from the woollen trade were the main drivers of change in west Wiltshire over the period 1530-1680.
