  • St. James' Church, Ashmansworth
    ST. JAMES’ CHURCH, ASHMANSWORTH This little church on the Hampshire Downs at the north end of the Winchester Diocese has an intriguing history reaching back into the 10th century. It also has a singular charm as its small white, weatherboard bell tower is sighted above the high banks and hedges of the lane that winds down towards the Bourne Valley. Sadly, the old bells no longer ring out over the scattered village - because they must be re-hung before they can even be chimed. (It has, up to now, seemed unlikely that adequate funds will ever be available for full circle ringing). Indeed, this situation is a part of the dilemma facing this small parish, a dilemma created, strangely enough, by a generous bequest from one of its parishioners, Miss Annie Taylor. This bequest led the Parochial Church Council to call in experts to advise on what might be done to restore and make safe the bell tower, to preserve and improve the remains of the wall paintings as well as to repair the effects of sheer age on the church as a whole; which has inevitably taken place despite the devoted attention of church wardens and parishioners over the years. It needs little imagination to recognise that this survey revealed a call for restoration work with costs far exceeding the value of this bequest. The earliest extant reference to Ashmansworth is found in the Charter of King Athelstan the Victorious (925-940) and it is certain that a Saxon church stood on this site of the present building which itself belongs mainly to the 12th century and at that time was mentioned in the general confirmation of his manors by Edward I.

  • Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. by Dr
    Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. By Dr. Carolyn Cobbold, BSc Mech Eng., FRSA Richard C J Pratt, BA(Hons), PGCE, MSc (Arch), FRGS Despite the ‘duty of cooperation’ set out in the National Planning Policy Framework1, there is mounting evidence that aspects of the failure to deliver actual cooperation have been overlooked in the recent White Paper2. Within the subregion surrounding the Solent, it is increasingly apparent that the development pressures are such that we risk losing sight of the natural features that underscore not only the attractiveness of the area but also the area’s natural health itself. This paper seeks to focus on the aquatic connections which maintain the sub-region’s biological health, connections which are currently threatened by overdevelopment. The waters of this sub-region sustain not only the viability of natural habitat but also the human economy of employment, tourism, recreation, leisure, and livelihoods. All are at risk. The paper is a plea for greater cooperation across the administrative boundaries of specifically the eastern Solent area. The paper is divided in the following way. 1. Highlands and Lowlands in our estimation of worth 2. The Flow of Water from Downs to Sea 3. Wetlands and Their Global Significance 4. Farmland and Fishing 5. 2011-2013: Medmerry Realignment Scheme 6. The Protection and Enhancement of Natural Capital in The Land ‘In Between’ 7. The Challenge to Species in The District’s Wildlife Corridors 8. Water Quality 9. Habitat Protection and Enhancement at the Sub-Regional Level 10. The policy restraints on the destruction of natural capital 11.
