It is now one of 34 AONBs in England and has equal status in planning terms to a National Park. The Surrey Hills AONB stretches across rural Surrey, covering about a quarter of the county. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000) placed a statutory duty on AONB local authorities to produce and review management plans that will formulate their policy for the management of the area. The Management Plan has been prepared by the Surrey Hills AONB Board and adopted by Guildford Borough Council, Mole Valley District Council, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, Tandridge District Council, Waverley Borough Council and Surrey County Council. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to the Surrey Hills AONB Management Plan, particularly those featured in our series of ‘My Surrey Hills’ videos. During 2019 a monthly video was released focusing on individuals who work, live or simply enjoy visiting the Surrey Hills. The videos highlight the special qualities of the Surrey Hills and the need to protect them through the policies in this Management Plan. This is a statutory document that has been formally adopted by: All of these people are featured in our My Surrey Hills videos visit: surreyhills.org/my-surrey-hills to view them 2 Surrey Hills AONB Management Plan 2020 - 2022 Preface 3 Coast Northumberland Northumberland Solway Coast North Pennines Lake District North York Moors Yorkshire Dales Nidderdale Forest of Howardian Bowland Hills Peak Disrict Lincolnshire Wolds Norfolk Coast Cannock Chase Shropshire The Broads Hills M50 M5 Hertfordshire Luton Suolk Coast A1(M) and Heaths M1 Malvern Gloucestershire Oxfordshire M11 Buckinghamshire Hills Essex The SURREY HILLS AONB M25 Dedham M40 Vale M25 This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Swindon SE Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty M4 Greater London M4 Wye Cotswolds National Parks A329(M) offers some of South East England’s most M4 Valley SE Area Berkshire M20 National Trails stunning and accessible countryside A3046 M3 A30 Ashford Wiltshire M25 M26 M2 Chilterns A328 Surrey Ridgeway Thames Kent M20 Path Staines M3 M23 Egham A308 Staines North Sunbury Hampshire Mendip Kent Hills Wessex Downs B388 B377 Downs A30 East Sussex Upper W.

  • Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside

    Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside

    Chapter 16 Wessex and the Reign of Edmund ii Ironside David McDermott Edmund Ironside, the eldest surviving son of Æthelred ii (‘the Unready’), is an often overlooked political figure. This results primarily from the brevity of his reign, which lasted approximately seven months, from 23 April to 30 November 1016. It could also be said that Edmund’s legacy compares unfavourably with those of his forebears. Unlike other Anglo-Saxon Kings of England whose lon- ger reigns and periods of uninterrupted peace gave them opportunities to leg- islate, renovate the currency or reform the Church, Edmund’s brief rule was dominated by the need to quell initial domestic opposition to his rule, and prevent a determined foreign adversary seizing the throne. Edmund conduct- ed his kingship under demanding circumstances and for his resolute, indefati- gable and mostly successful resistance to Cnut, his career deserves to be dis- cussed and his successes acknowledged. Before discussing the importance of Wessex for Edmund Ironside, it is con- structive, at this stage, to clarify what is meant by ‘Wessex’. It is also fitting to use the definition of the region provided by Barbara Yorke. The core shires of Wessex may be reliably regarded as Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berk- shire and Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight).1 Following the victory of the West Saxon King Ecgbert at the battle of Ellendun (Wroughton, Wilts.) in 835, the borders of Wessex expanded, with the counties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex passing from Mercian to West Saxon control.2 Wessex was not the only region with which Edmund was associated, and nor was he the only king from the royal House of Wessex with connections to other regions.
