COUNCIL NEWS Moated site, South Parit, Grayswood. Discussions relating to the proposed gift of the Scheduled Ancient Monument by the owner to the Society, first reported in Bulletin 253, are progressing well. Present proposals envisage the Society ultimately acquiring the freehold of the site, part of which would be leased to the Surrey Wildlife Trust. The Society would be responsible for maintaining the site and arranging for limited public access. It now seems probable that this exciting project will become a reality and a small committee has been formed to investigate and advise Council on the complexities involved. Council has expressed sincere and grateful thanks to the owner of South Park for her generosity. Castle Training Dig. Guildford Borough Council has approved a second season of excavation at the Castle, which will take place between the 8th and 28th July 1991.

  • The Planning Group
    THE PLANNING GROUP Report on the letters the group has written to Guildford Borough Council about planning applications which we considered during the period 1 January to 30 June 2020 During this period the Planning Group consisted of Alistair Smith, John Baylis, Amanda Mullarkey, John Harrison, David Ogilvie, Peter Coleman and John Wood. In addition Ian Macpherson has been invaluable as a corresponding member. Abbreviations: AONB: Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AGLV: Area of Great Landscape Value GBC: Guildford Borough Council HTAG: Holy Trinity Amenity Group LBC: Listed Building Consent NPPF: National Planning Policy Framework SANG: Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace SPG: Supplementary Planning Guidance In view of the Covid 19 pandemic the Planning Group has not been able to meet every three weeks at the GBC offices. We have, therefore, been conducting meetings on Zoom which means the time taken to consider each of the applications we have looked at has increased. In addition, this six month period under review has been the busiest for the group for four years and thus the workload has inevitably increased significantly. During the period there were a potential 993 planning applications we could have looked at. We sifted through these applications and considered in detail 89 of them. The Group wrote 41 letters to the Head of Planning Services on a wide range of individual planning applications. Of those applications 13 were approved as submitted; 8 were approved after amending plans were received and those plans usually took our concerns into account; 5 were withdrawn; 10 were refused; and, at the time of writing, 5 applications had not been decided.

NEW EDITION, FRANK LASHAM, 61, HIGH STREET, GUILDFORD. OUILDFORD : ORINTED BY FRANK LA3HAM, HIGH STI;EET PREFACE. MY objects in writing " Stephan Langton " were, first to add a Dcw interest to Albury and its neighbourhood, by representing truly and historically our aspects in the rei"n of King John ; next, to bring to modem memory the grand character of a great and good Archbishop who long antedated Luther in his opposition to Popery, and who stood up for English freedom, ctilminating in Magna Charta, many centuries before these onr latter days ; thirdly, to clear my brain of numeroua fancies and picturea, aa only the writing of another book could do that. Ita aeed is truly recorded in the first chapter, as to the two stone coffins still in the chancel of St. Martha's. I began the book on November 26th, 1857, and finished it in exactly eight weeks, on January 2l8t, 1858, reading for the work included; in two months more it waa printed by Hurat and Blackett. I in­ tended it for one fail volume, but the publishers preferred to issue it in two scant ones ; it has since been reproduced as one railway book by Ward and Lock. Mr. Drummond let me have the run of his famoua historical library at Albury for purposes of reference, etc., beyond what I had in my own ; and I consulted and partially read, for accurate pictures of John's time in England, the histories of Tyrrell, Holinshed, Hume, Poole, Markland ; Thomson's " Magna Charta," James's " Philip Augustus," Milman's "Latin Christi­ anity," Hallam's "Middle Agea," Maimbourg'a "LivesofthePopes," Banke't "Life of Innocent the Third," Maitland on "The Dark VllI PKEhACE.

  • Blackheath Village Enhancement Plan
    Blackheath Village Enhancement Plan This document sets out the long term management objectives and guidelines for Blackheath village. The plan has been developed with local involvement and it is intended that it should be the first point of reference for all those with an interest in the village. Background Information For the purpose of this plan ‘the village’ has been defined as the verges running through Blackheath Lane; the verge to the village sign on Littleford Lane and Sample Oak Lane up to the junction with the Downs Link. The private road to Aston House and the Downs Link to Tangley Way are also included. A margin of common land directly adjacent to the rear of the houses in the village has also been included, as has the cricket pitch (appendix I). Individual private residences are excluded. Site Status The majority of the area is designated as common land (CL 179 and CL7) which is protected by various Acts of Parliament. In addition the common land is covered by the Commons Registration Scheme and bye-laws (appendix II). The village and surrounding land lies with the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV). The central part of the village has been designated by Waverley Borough Council as a Conservation Area (Appendix III) for its historical and architectural interest and areas around the village hall and war memorial have been identified as Areas of High Archaeological Potential (appendix III). The majority of properties back directly onto Blackheath Site of Special Scientific Interest (appendix IV).

The site lies on the Upper Chalk of the North Downs and overlooks the springs around which the Roman and later settlement of Ewell developed. Although bad weather hampered the programme throughout, five trenches were evaluated between 18th April and 8th May 2008 by students from Birkbeck Faculty of Lifelong Learning, community archaeology volunteers working with Surrey County Archaeology Unit (SCAU), and weekend volunteers drawn from Epsom and Ewell History and Archaeology Society (EEHAS) and Surrey Archaeological Society (SyAS). Pupils from a number of local schools were conducted around the site, in addition to over three hundred visitors on a busy Bank Holiday Monday. As has become customary, this year’s investigations were filmed by members of the Epsom Cine and Video Society. The aim of the third season was to investigate areas adjacent to those previously examined at the southern end of the site. Furthermore the intention was to define more clearly the areas dug in the 1970s and glimpsed in Trenches 2 and 5 in 2006; to explore the post holes revealed in Trench 9 in 2007; and to complete the examination of the deeper of the two chalk-cut shafts (context [1005]) in Trench 6.

Gomshall, map reference TQ 089 477, is in Surrey, 10km east of Guildford. Features There is much that is ancient, beautiful and surprising to be enjoyed on this walk. It starts in Gomshall, passing some of the pleasant buildings on its outskirts, before crossing fields to the interesting church and village of Shere on the Tilling Bourne stream, a place packed full of fifteenth and sixteenth-century timber- framed buildings. Then the walk continues past massive gnarled trees in Albury Park and through the pine woods of Blackheath Common. From there, the route follows the Downs Link path. There's an optional detour to visit Chinthurst Hill Tower, a folly with a view. The final stretch is along the River Wey into Guildford for tea at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Short stretches of the Downs Link can be muddy. If you like horses this is a walk for you, as the route passes through several stud farms and a riding school. The original lunch pub on this walk has closed. Alternatives are now included in these Directions. Walk With the closure of the Villagers pub the only alternative after Shere is the William IV in Little London, which comes after Options just 3½ km on the standard walk.
