The area is characterised by a number of small local historic parks (e.g. Pelham Place and Coles). • Field ponds provide locally important habitats. • Narrow, little used rural lanes cross the area, often bordered by wide verges and ditches. • Intact hedgerow network with hedgerow trees which create a strong landscape pattern as well as seclusion and enclosure. Privett Local Landscape Character Assessment North Landscape Character The southern boundary of Privett is the A272. The land rises from the A272 nearly 100 metres to Filmore Hill, Privett Church and further east at Bordean. The south facing slope comprises chalk geology overlain with clay and flints which connects to the Bramdean Downs in the west. From the top of this slope the chalk is covered to various depths with the Froxfield Clay Plateau. There is no surface water as a result of the chalk geology and free draining soils. The land use is mainly arable with small areas of pasture for grazing horses and occasional sheep, all adjacent to houses. There are also a small number or woodland strips and copses spread throughout the area. Privett Local Landscape Character Assessment South Downs National Park At the end of March 2010, Privett was included within South Downs National Park, Britain’s newest National Park. The village is located on raised ground to the north of the A272 Winchester to Petersfield Road, with far reaching views to the south across the Meon Valley. The twin purposes of the South Downs National Park are: • To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area • To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Park by the public The South Downs National Park is over 1,600 km.sq. and stretches 100 miles from the edge of Winchester to Beachy Head. The Park's geology combines the green sands and clays of the Weald with the chalk of the Downlands. This geology provides the foundation for large tracts of internationally important ancient woodlands, open heathland and the famous rolling downlands that lead to the iconic, sheer cliffs at Seven Sisters and Beachy Head. The landscape supports a great variety of trees, plants, birds and other wildlife. In Privett this includes old beech and oak trees, golden plovers, red kites,rare orchids, the brown hare and the locally rare woodland plant Green Hellebore. Conservation Area Already an area of outstanding natural beauty AONB, most of Privett was designated a Conservation Area in November 2000. Privett Local Landscape Character Assessment Views Views in Privett along the top of the south facing slope down to the A272 are spectacular, 5 miles to Butser Hill in the south east, over Bereleigh Estate to the south, past Beacon Hill to the south west and onto Cheesefoot Head 8 miles to the west. On a good day the Isle of Wight and the Fawley flame can be seen. Of particular note are the views south from Church Farm and Church Barns. Church Farm, has greatly reduced its acreage in Privett over the years but has specifically retained the fields over which these views can be seen from the farm house. “Privett? That’s the Church with the tall spire” is the usual response to most residents of East Hampshire when View towards Privett from The West Meon Hut Privett is mentioned, and is often the only thing they know at the junction of the A32 and the A272 about the village. Not surprising when it can be seen two miles away on the main roads approaching from the south and the east, and many other locations, in all directions. At a more local level the spire is seen across the fields from many of the local houses where the view is a major feature of the garden with low hedging and open vistas being maintained from Farnfield and Hemplands View towards Privett Church from the South Lane amongst others. As well as the spectacular views south and those to and from the church there are many areas within Privett where the undulating land and combination of woodland, hedges, individual trees and arable fields make up views much favoured by the residents and visitors alike. The seasonal changes bring an ever refreshed image. View south to The Meon Valley Privett Local Landscape Character Assessment Farming Farming has made a significant impact on the landscape. What is seen today has been heavily influenced by the changes made by farmers in order to adapt to the prevailing economic and political climate. For example, in recent years trees and hedgerows have been removed and later replaced. Gates have been widened to allow access for larger agricultural machinery. Modern combine harvesters have been a great farming innovation removing the dust and hard work associated with harvesting in the past. Unlike most of the Froxfield Clay Plateau with heavy soils, a large portion of this area has been intensively farmed and there are significant areas of arable cropping. Some pasture is present, the majority being grazed by horses. The south facing slopes, to the south of the clay plateau leading down to the A272 are in the Downland Mosaic and are also intensively cropped as is more common for that land type. In the last two of decades, farms that had significant dairy and beef herds, have given these up and turned to arable crops. The tenants of the Nicholson Estate were able to purchase their farms in 1945 when the estate was subdivided and sold. This appears not to have to a changed land use and farming practices. Farnfield Farm and field to the north Wildlife In recent years the wildlife environment has become more diverse because farms have been encouraged to promote wildlife habitat. Typical for a rural farmland area with woodland throughout there is a wide diversity of wildlife including, raptors (buzzards, kites and owls), woodpeckers, bats, foxes, rabbits and deer. Hares are often seen especially on the south facing downland in the fields by the A272. Many gardens have bird feeders and attract a wide number of species. The old disused railway embankment towards the A272 is being managed for the conservation of various species especially butterflies because of the high content of chalk close to the surface which is the natural habitat for many of the species. Buzzard Field above the Privett Tunnel between Hemplands Lane and Church Lane Privett Local Landscape Character Assessment Ponds Piper’s pond is next to the old Blacksmith’s Forge in Filmore Hill where the Blacksmith lived until about 30 years ago. He and the pond are well remembered by several of the local residents who used to visit him with their horses which were used on the farm and also for pleasure. The pond is well maintained and attracts a wide variety of insects and other wildlife such as bats and birds including woodpeckers, moorhens and a pair of wild mallard ducks who have taken to nesting there in recent years.

  • Directions to Susannah Lawson's Clinic, Walled Garden Cottage, Bordean Manor Estate, Nr Petersfield, GU32
    Directions to Susannah Lawson’s clinic, Walled Garden Cottage, Bordean Manor Estate, Nr Petersfield, GU32 1EP Please note: Sat Nav never gets it right, so you’ll need to refer to the last part of these directions. If you’re approaching via the M3 (from north or south) or from Winchester: • Get onto the A272 heading east towards Petersfield (there are various ways to do this – check your map or refer to the route planner at www.theaa.com for more detailed directions). • Cross over the junction with the A32 (there’s a petrol station on the right and a pub called Two for One straight ahead as you hit this junction). Walled Garden Cottage is about 3.3 miles from this junction. • Carry on the A272 past signs for Privett on your left and East Meon on your right. • Pass Bordean Farm on your left. Shortly after, after a bend, you’ll see the entrance to Bordean Manor Estate on your right. There are a couple of reflective bollards either side to mark the boundaries on either side of the driveway, and a 40mph sign just beyond. If you see signs for Froxfield and Highcross on your left – or start going down a windy hill – you’ve gone too far. • Turn into the driveway and follow it along. You’ll see the big manor house on your right. The drive then bends round and you’ll come to a junction (the main house will be right, the lodges left). If you pause and look straight ahead, you’ll see a wooden chalet behind some trees – that’s in the garden of Walled Garden Cottage.

  • Special Edition the Rosemary Foundation Is Very Grateful to Those Kind People Who Have Remembered the Foundation in Their Will
    Registered Charity No 1064723 Spring 2017 Newsletter Special Edition The Rosemary Foundation is very grateful to those kind people who have remembered the Foundation in their will. Chairman’s letter for Spring Newsletter A happy, if slightly belated, New Year to you all. May it bring you health, peace and prosperity. Some of you will know about the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the regulatory body that ensures standards of healthcare across a broad spectrum. In early December, the CQC gave the Rosemary Foundation 48 hours’ notice of a detailed inspection of our operation. This involved two inspectors spending the day going through our procedures, policies and practices with staff, as well as speaking to other healthcare providers, relatives of those we have cared for, trustees and other staff. For those involved, it was an intense, tiring process. I am more than delighted that the CQC’s report, of which a more detailed summary can be read elsewhere in this newsletter, gave the Foundation a glowing report. The overall rating was “Good”, with good gradings in the areas of safety, effectiveness, caring and leadership. You will not be surprised to learn that the rating for responsiveness to people’s needs was outstanding. In fact, there was not one criticism of the service, there were no recommendations for things that might be improved, and the word “outstanding” featured several times in the report. This has led several people, including me, to wonder exactly what you have to do in order to get an overall rating of outstanding. Nevertheless, this was a great report, and we are all immensely proud of the team who provide such a wonderful service to our community.

  • Archaeology in Hampshire
    Archaeology in Hampshire Annual Report 2007 BASINGSTOKE AND DEANE Basingstoke Unlisted milestone on B3400 near King's Lodge (SU 59910 51716) (Site UID: 54326) Local listing A short, squat pillar of stone, squared and weathered: a milestone probably dating from the 18th century when this section of the road between Exeter and London was turnpiked (Andover and Basingstoke turnpike Act 1754). Only fragments survive of the cast iron distance plaques. This is one of several milestones surviving along this road. Weybrook Park Golf Course (SU 460786 154567) (Site UID: 58130) Excavation An excavation and a topsoil strip were conducted by Wessex Archaeology prior to the extension of the golf course. A single post-hole was noted but could not be dated or associated with any structure. No finds were identified, despite being within a landscape of great richness. Hannington Tidgrove Warren Farm (SU 52270 54218) (Site UID: 58168) Excavation Southampton University, with the Kingsclere Heritage Association, carried out fieldwork in the area around Tidgrove Warren Farm from 2005-07 in order to investigate the patterns of prehistoric/Roman/medieval settlement in an area of lowland close to the line of the Portway. This work focused on a medieval ditched enclosure and identified a number of multi-period features (Fig. 1). These comprised a small prehistoric enclosure, a larger medieval enclosure, the remains of a medieval cellared building and aisled hall along with a possible well or latrine. These features may be related/described by other sites in the area: see also Site Uids 36924, 36925, 36926, 56882, 56883 and 57174, in particular the medieval enclosure and cellar are likely to be evidence of the royal hunting lodge established by Henry II and known to be in this area (Monuid 21127).

  • Rosemary Foundation Nurses
    TheThe RosemaryRosemary FoundationFoundation Hospice at Home Registered Charity No 1064723 Spring 2016 Newsletter Rosemary Foundation Nurses Some of the real stars of the show! Barbara Pettegree One of The Rosemary Foundation’s joint managers, Barbara Pettegree, will be stepping down from her current position this year to spend a little more time with her husband and family. She says: “I was 65 in December and feel it is time to reduce my hours and help in the care of my mother (who will be 100 next January) and my grandchildren.” Barbara will nevertheless continue to work with The Rosemary Foundation to help with the running of the Hospice at Home team, albeit no longer on a full‐time basis. Barbara has been with The Rosemary Foundation since 1997 when the charity was formed, having trained as a nurse in the East End of London (Whipps Cross Hospital) in 1969, and then working as a very junior staff nurse in St Christopher’s Hospice, Sydenham where Dr Cicely Saunders was pioneering good end of life care (known then as terminal care). Barbara says, “Patients were very much at the centre of the care given and I can remember being quite surprised when a senior Doctor in the hospice thanked a patient for his time, at the end of a medical examination”. In 1980 Barbara joined the Sue Ryder Foundation and remained there until 1997 when Bordean House closed. During this period the team had done some preparatory work to provide a Hospice at Home Service, though this was never completed due to lack of support from the Area Health Authority.
