BIOLOGICAL SECTION REPORT. Again Very Few Records of New Plants Or of Plants Found' in Hitherto Uncovered Localities Have Been Received 290 . HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB BIOLOGICAL SECTION REPORT. Again very few records of new plants or of plants found' in hitherto uncovered localities have been received. The following. are of interest:— III (1) Galinsoga parviflora. (Cohen.) This plant appeared some years ago at Kew, and gradually spread around London. How it arrived at Christchurch it is impossible to- say; it is a native of Peru. I. Hieracium Lachenalii. Bournemouth (Boyd Watt). This has only once previously been recorded, from Silchester in 1927. II. - Inula Crithmoides. Milford. (Cohen.) Ill (1). Coronopus didymus. Sway. (Cohen.) • VII (1). Senecio viscosus. Shawford. (FitzGerald.) Botanical Expedition to Greywell and Neighbourhood. On Monday, July 2nd, 1945. The party met at Basingstoke station at 11.0 a.m. About twenty-five members.came, some of them with cars, which enabled the whole party to motor to the localities visited. The first stop was at Tunworth, where the beech woods behind Tunworth Church (comprising part of Herriard Park) were visited. These are typical beech woods on chalk, containing a rich and characteristic flora. The Rev. W. G. Cruttwell was the leader. The following species were observed :— White Helleborine -' - Cephalanthera grandiflora. Narrow-leaved Helleborine - Cephalanthera ensifolia. Pyramidal Orchis - - Orchis pyramidalis. Spotted Orchis - - Orchis fuchsii. Fly Orchis - Ophrys muscifera. Butterfly Orchis - - Platanihera chlorantha. Bird's-nest Orchis - - Neottia nidus-avis. t Twayblade ... Listera ovata. Yellow Bird's-nest - - Monotropa hypopitys. Solomon's Seal - - Polygonatum multiflorum. Nettle-leaved Bellflower - Campanula trachelium. Hairy St. John's-wort - - Hypericum hirsulwn. Wood Spurge - - - Euphorbia amygdaloides. Wall Lettuce - Lactuca muralis. Wood Melick - - Melica uniflora. Cow-wheat - • - Melampyrum pratense. In chalky clearings by the side of the woods were :— . Pyramidal. Orchis (much finer than in the wood). Rock rose - - - Helianthemum vulgare. Salad Burnet - - - Poterium sanguisorba. Chalk Milkwort - • - Polygala calcarea. Lesser Broomrape - - Orobanche minor. Ladies' Fingers • - - ' Anthyllis vulneraria. Cathartic Flax - < - Linum catharticum. Rest-harrow - - Ononis reperis. Hedge Parsley - - Caucalis anthriscus. Oxford Ragwort - - Senecio squalidus. A single plant. PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 291 The party then proceeded to a path through a cornfield on chalk between Tunworth and Mapledurwell. Here we found :— Corn Gromwell Lithospermum arvense. Chicory Chicorium intybus. Male Fluellen - Linaria spuria. Pointed-leaved Toadflax Linaria elatine. Lesser Toadflax Linaria minor. Sun Spurge Euphorbia helioscopia. Dwarf Spurge Euphorbia exigua. Long-stalked Crane's-bill Geranium columbinum. Yellow Vetchling Lathyrus aphaca. Proceeding to Mapledurwell we visited a garden in which were growing two very interesting wild plants :— Hare's Ear {Bupleurum rotundifolium), growing as a weed, seeded from neighbouring cornfields, in which it used to occur. Field Eryngo (Eryngium campestre), transplanted from a field which was being ploughed up, in order to preserve the plant. There was quite a large patch in the field before it was ploughed up, and it is to be hoped that it will survive. Finally we went to Greywell to explore the marshes. These are of particular interest as they are technically " fen '•; that is to say composed of alkaline peat. The water, draining off the chalk, is highly charged with lime and so the vegetation of the marsh contains many lime-loving species. Here is a selection of the more interesting plants seen :— Late Marsh Orchis Orchis praetermissa. Fragrant Orchis Gymnadenia conopsea. Marsh Helleborine Epipactis palustris. Red Rattle Pedicularis palustris. Marsh Valerian Valeriana dioica. Bog Bean Menyanthes trifoliate. Marsh Bedstraw Galium palustre. Swamp Bedstraw Galium uliginosum. Bog Pimpernel Anagallis tenella. Yellow Loosestrife Lysimachia vulgaris.. Monkey Flower Mimulus luteus. Yellow Flag ' Iris pseudacorus. Broad-leaved Cotton Grass Eriophorum latifolium. Narrow-leaved Cotton Grass Eriophorum angustifolium. Slender Cotton Grass - Eriophorum gracile. Panicled Sedge Carex paniculata. .Yellow Sedge Carex flava. Carnation Sedge Carex panicea. Obtuse Rush - Juncus obtusiflorus. Marsh- Fern - Lastraea thelypteris. On some drier ground near the Waterworks were :— Vervain - Verbena officinalis. Pepper. Saxifrage - - Silaus flavescens. and a magnificent display of Marsh Orchis (O. praetermissa), Marsh Helleborine and Fragrant Orchis. Owing to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Cole the party were given tea at their farm, house. 292 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB One section of the party returned via Basing, seeing on an old. brick wall :— English Bedstraw - - Galium anglicum. Fine-leaved Sandwort - Armaria tenuifolia. ' Thus ended an interesting tour of a part of the county not well worked botanically, but of considerable interest. A FUNGUS FORAY AT CHAWTON PARK WOOD, NEAR ALTON. For the third year in succession a Fungus Foray, under the. direction of Air. A. A. Pearson, F.L.S., of Hindhead, and Mr. E. W. Swanton, F.L.S., of the Haslemere Educational Museum, was. carried out in Chawton Park Wood and the adjoining meadows- on October 16th. Owing to the preceding dry weather fungi were not plentiful and were small in size, also some of the meadows. near the wood, which had on former occasions produced good specimens, had been ploughed ; but in spite of this the total number of species identified by the directors was larger than on the two previous occasions, namely, 119. The complete list is. given below. The Club is very much indebted to Messrs. Pearson and. Swanton for so regularly putting their very complete knowledge of British fungi at the disposal of the Club.

It is with natural misgivings that I have accepted the invitation to carry on the work 6f that. great and experienced naturalist, Dr. F. H. Haines, in editing the zoological records for our County. However, I hope that with the continued support of our contributors we may be able to maintain the high standard of interest and accuracy of this Report. Any of our members, and others, who have made notes of interest during 1946, of common as well as of rare species, are invited to send them to me at Webb's Farm, Pitton, Salisbury, Wilts, as soon as possible after the end of the year. Dr. Haines unfortunately passed away when in the middle of collecting material for this 1945 Report, and he had evidently not nearly completed the task. When, however, his papers were handed over to me there was little time to collect more, nor did I then have some of the necessary contacts. As a result, this Report is far less comprehensive than its predecessors, especially in its entomological records. I trust that this will be remedied by the receipt of many more records for 1946. R W/HITLOCK. Mammals. ' Long-eared Bat.—One caught in a room at Sway on September 9th ; one in same place on October 21st. (B.C.)

  • Congregationalism in Edwardian Hampshire 1901-1914
    FAITH AND GOOD WORKS: CONGREGATIONALISM IN EDWARDIAN HAMPSHIRE 1901-1914 by ROGER MARTIN OTTEWILL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Congregationalists were a major presence in the ecclesiastical landscape of Edwardian Hampshire. With a number of churches in the major urban centres of Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, and places of worship in most market towns and many villages they were much in evidence and their activities received extensive coverage in the local press. Their leaders, both clerical and lay, were often prominent figures in the local community as they sought to give expression to their Evangelical convictions tempered with a strong social conscience. From what they had to say about Congregational leadership, identity, doctrine and relations with the wider world and indeed their relative silence on the issue of gender relations, something of the essence of Edwardian Congregationalism emerges. In their discourses various tensions were to the fore, including those between faith and good works; the spiritual and secular impulses at the heart of the institutional principle; and the conflicting priorities of churches and society at large.

  • Look Around a Look at Historical & Archaeological Issues in Andover and the Surrounding Villages
    Look Around A look at historical & archaeological issues in Andover and the surrounding villages. 2016 Number 3 September “Look Around” is the newsletter of the ANDOVER HISTORY & ARCHAEOLOGY SOCIETY www.andover-history.org.uk From the Chair September 2016 Firstly our congratulations to Martin Coppen for winning a research and publication award from the British Association for Local History for his article The History of St Mary Magdalene Hospital (The Spittle) in our 2015 edition of Lookback. Martin was presented with his award by Professor Claire Cross at the BALH Local History Day in London in June. This year’s edition of Lookback will be on sale at our first meeting of the autumn in September. As always, it is full of interesting articles but it does look a little different because we have changed the way it is bound. I hope you will approve the change as I do, especially as the new binding allows edition details to be printed on the spine making it easier to find a particular edition on my bookshelf. If you have passed the Andover War Memorial Hospital recently, you may have noticed that the entrance road has been named Henry Gamman Drive. This decision by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is very welcome because it formally recognises that Henry Gamman gifted the land to help Andover build its war memorial to the Andover men who died in WW1, which included both of his sons. The occasion had a special link to the past because descendants of Henry Gamman took part in the the naming ceremony by the of Mayor of Test Valley, and afterwards the public were invited to see the facilities the hospital now offers.

  • 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).

  • Old Roads in Central Hants by C
    324 OLD ROADS IN CENTRAL HANTS BY C. F. C. HAWKES. Although many of the roads to be found in this country are of very great age, yet none of them are older than the earliest settlements. Villages and camps were not established, along the line of already existing roads, but roads grew up as links between settlements. Before the Saxon invasion all the villages were oh the uplands, and hence the roads followed the lines of the ridges from one to another. This was the best way for several reasons:—It was the driest, and generally avoided streams, and it lay over open ground; moreover, the safest route for travel . is always that with the widest view. But the principal reason was that the uplands were the centres of population. The oldest prehistoric roads are the long trade routes stretch- ing right across the country, which form the skeleton of the whole system: they keep, wherever possible, to the high ridge tops or just on the south brow, and where a ridge has to be crossed it is usually at a saddle with an easy gradient: for the crossing of a river valley, they generally descend by some spur with a gentle slope, and always choose a place as high up the river as possible, where the difficult wet valley is narrow. But later there grew up parallel roads beside them, which kept to the lower slopes of the ridges, and were used in dry summer weather, when travellers were not forced to get right to the crest of a ridge to find a passable road.
