  • An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Hampshire Test and Its Tributaries
    Hampshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews along the Hampshire Test and its tributaries Part 3 – The Lower Test By Peter Norton Introduction: The Test rises at Ashe, just to the west of Basingstoke and on its way through Hampshire is fed from many streams and brooks emanating from the west and one main stream from the east. After flowing through Stockbridge and Romsey, it converges in Southampton with the Itchen some 40 miles from its source. At this point it becomes Southampton Water which flows into the Solent before reaching the open sea. The west tributaries include the Bourne Rivulet, Anton, Wallop Brook, Dun, Blackwater and Bartley Water. The east tributaries include the Dever, Tadburn and Tanners Brook. The Lower Test This is the last of three reports that split the River Test into three sections; Upper, Middle and Lower. The Lower Test is described as from just north of Romsey to its confluence with the Itchen, covering a distance of some 12 miles by road. Along its path it is joined by the Tadburn, Blackwater, Bartley Water and Tanners Brook. All of the towns and villages along this part of the Test and its tributaries were included, with 18 churches visited, of which 12 contained yews. All churches are in Hampshire unless otherwise stated. Of the 26 yews noted at these sites, 11 had measurements recorded. The graph below groups the measured yews ac- cording to their girth, presented here in metric form. It does not include yews whose girth was estimated*. Where a tree has been measured at different heights, the measurement taken closest to the root/ground is used for this graph.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

We have ambitious plans to support the growth of our economy and provide much needed homes, but also to deliver this in a way that enhances the special environment of the area. We believe the Waterside has the potential to become a national exemplar for delivering growth in an environmentally sensitive area. Totton is the main town within the Waterside. The Growth Opportunity • Fawley Refinery (ExxonMobil) – the UK’s largest refinery, representing 20% of UK capacity, with a major ongoing investment programme encompassing increased output of ultra-low sulphur diesel; • Fawley Waterside – the former Power Station and one of the largest brownfield development sites in the South of England, with plans to deliver a new sustainable community and centre of marine and maritime innovation; • Marchwood Military Port (Solent Gateway) – the UK’s only combined military and
