  • Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • Arts, Literary & History Trail
    Arts, Literary & History Trail - FRESHWATER - KS4 Alfred, Lord Tennyson Poet Laureate Resident at Farringford House, Freshwater Tennyson was born in Lincolnshire in 1809 and attended Trinity College, Cambridge in 1827 where he received The Chancellor’s Gold Medal (a prestigious award given for poetry) in 1829. His frst solo collection of poems were published soon after. Poetry wriritng was important to Victorians as there was no recorded music at this time. When Tennyson’s poem ‘Maud’ (written in 1854-55) became a frm favourite with British Society, Alfred Lord Tennyson was able to buy Farringford House (now a hotel), on the Isle of Wight, which he initially rented with his wife from 1853. In 1850, he was made Poet Laureate and he held this post for forty years. Heralded as one of the greatest poets in British History, he died, at the age of 83, in 1892. The monument which stands at the top of Tennyson Down (renamed in his honour) was erected after his death. Before your visit... 1. Look at a couple of poems by Tennyson e.g. Crossing the Bar and Break, Break, Break. There are online analysis notes for both poems. Do a comparison with a poem from the GCSE Syllabus. 2. Can you identify which phrases in Tennyson’s poems can be linked to the place he lived - e.g. the sea on a stormy day, the downs in summer? 3. Investigate the frustrations of being in the public eye. Compare Tennyson with JK Rowling, both driven to move house as a result of media attention.

THE last time that I saw Heinrich Heine was a few weeks before his death ; I had to write a short notice for the re-issue of his works. He lay on the bed where, accord- ing to the doctors, a slight indisposition first held him, but whence he had not been able to rise therefrom for eight years. One was always sure of finding him, as he himself used to say; yet, little by little, solitude encom- passed him more and more; hence his exclamation to Berlioz, on the occasion of an unexpected visit : "You " come to see me ! you are as original as ever ! It was not that he was less loved or less admired, but life entices away with it the most faithful hearts, in spite of themselves: only a mother or a wife would never abandon so persistent a death-agony.

But every year is now carrying us further away from a state of things in which it is possible for poetry to originate thus.
