As you to all the people who have encouraged me to go ahead with publication individuals, our normality may have been shaken by loneliness or the death when I first muted the idea. The idea was to provide some form of normality of a loved one. Adapting to a new normality may be easy for some, but and perhaps a record of life in the period of lockdown. I was told “The News is painful for others. Living through any change can, however, bring about like a clock, one depends on it coming out to relate to what part of the year it opportunities for growth: in wisdom, understanding and humility. is” The early Christians—those who witnessed Christ’s ministry or the ministry of the first Apostles—had to get used to a ‘new normal’.

Neighbourhood Development Plans were introduced by the 2011 Localism Act, to give local people more say about the scale and nature of development in their area, within the context of both strategic planning policy in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, and local plans – in our case, the adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031. The Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan relates to the whole of the Parish and includes a wide range of topics: housing, employment, community facilities, transport, and the built and natural environment. The Plan will run until 2031 to coincide with the end date of the Local Plan, but may need to be reviewed before then. The Plan has been drafted by local people in the Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan Group, following extensive community consultation and engagement over a period of years, followed by an examination by an independent Planning Inspector. We believe that the plan represents a broad consensus of local opinion. Chris James Chair Uplyme Parish Council & Neighbourhood Plan Group July 2017 Dedication This Plan is dedicated to the memory of Peter Roy Whiting, former Chairman of both the Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Group. Without his encyclopaedic technical knowledge of planning and civil engineering, his puckish wit, enthusiasm and dedication, the project would have struggled in its formative stage. Peter – your presence is sadly missed.

The succession seemed, however,to be as above, and, if that be so, the beds below bed I are probably Bagshot Beds. "The pit at the lower level has been already noticed in our Proceedings; cj. H. W. Monckton and R. S. Herries 'On some Bagshot Pebble Beds and Pebble Gravel,' Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xi, p. 13, at p. 22. The pit has been worked farther back, and the clay is now in consequence thicker. Less of the under­ lying sand is exposed than it was in June, 1888. "The casts of shells which occur in this sand were not abundant, but several were found by members of the party on a small heap of sand at the bottom of the pit." Similarly disturbed strata were again observed in the excavation for the new reservoir close by. A few minutes were then profitably spent in examining Fryerning Church, and its carved Twelfth Century font, etc. At the Spread Eagle a welcome tea awaited the party, which, after thanking the Director, returned by the 7.55 p.m. train to London.

Present: Councillors Councillor A Turner, Pratt, Trundley, Mason, Duffin, James (Chair), Ostler, Pullinger, Frost and 8 members of the public. In attendance: The Parish Clerk, Ricky Neave Key: Councillors Hand Vote (For – Against) 7.15pm Public Question Time Public Bodies (admissions to meetings) Act 1960 s1 extended by the LG Act 972 s 100. Resident highlighted and complained about the state of the potholes and blocked up drainage and ditches adjacent to highways which are pushing the surface water back on to the roads and flooding private land in Uplyme. County Councillor Ian Hall received the complaints and would investigate on why this is happening. Councillor James remarked that drainage and ditches that were initially maintained by Highways, are now suddenly, the responsibility of the landowner. Report from County Councillor – Mr Ian Lloyd Hall Councillor Ian Hall updated Uplyme on the continued progress of Community groups in a triangle of towns in East Devon and West Dorset which are proposing to formalise a joint forum to cover all the angles of health and social care for more than 42,000 people living in the catchment area. This will continue to build on the success of community conversations and subsequent surveys carried out by LymeForward, Seaton Area Health Matters and Axminster Health Needs. The forum would aim to secure a model of place-based care to best serve communities within a triangle formed by Axminster to the north, Seaton to the south and Lyme Regis to the east, striving to improve procurement and delivery of all aspects of health and social care, including: GP surgeries, NHS clinics and hospitals, Health hubs, Mental health services, Care for the elderly.

  • Devon Protestation Oaths
    Mortimers of Devon in the 1642 Protestation Oath Lists Research suggests that the Mortimers first settled in Devon in the 15th century or earlier. By 1523, the name had spread to 16 parishes and just 20 years later that number had grown to 19. By 1600, several branches of the Mortimer family had established themselves in Exeter, Devon’s capital. Over the following centuries Mortimers continued to move to Exeter. By the time of the first census in 1841, 87 Mortimers lived in Devon’s capital, out of 866 Mortimers who called Devon their home, more than any other county except Yorkshire. This document is intended to be a useful resource for genealogists but also Mortimer one name researchers. The history of the Devon Mortimer family is of interest due to their inheritance of a medieval name of great note during the middle ages, the Mortimer family of Wigmore being one of the great dynastic families of the age. Edmund Mortimer and Philippa Plantaganet, Countess of Ulster married in 1368 in Reading Abbey, with Edward IV, a great grandson of the above couple successfully claiming the throne for the house of York during the Wars of the Roses. The long line of Mortimer of Wigmore became extinct upon the death of young Earl Edmund Mortimer in 1425, but other branches survived, including Hugh Mortimer, who died fighting on the Lancastrian side in the Battle of Wakefield, 1460. One branch that survived past 1400 is of particular interest to Mortimer family researchers, the Mortimers of Attleborough, who were prosperous during the Late Middle Ages but then faded into obscurity after 1387, when most of the Mortimer estates were inherited by female co-heirs.
