Bristol BS32 4UD ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 0 9 9 8 7 8 RIVERS AXE AND LIM CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT FOREWORD The National Rivers Authority has, since its formation in 1989, been developing the process of catchment management. A major initiative is the commitment to produce Catchment Management Plans setting out the Authority's vision for realising the potential of each local water environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. The Rivers Axe and Lim Consultation Report covers a large and important catchment and the NRA is keen to draw on the expertise and interest of the communities involved. Please comment - your views are important, even if it is to say that you think particular issues are necessary or that you support the plan and its objectives. Following on from the Consultation Report an Action Plan will then be produced with an agreed programme for the future protection and enhancement of this much loved area.

  • X.—On the Chalk and Sands Beneath It {Usually Termed Green-Sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of St Andrews on March 24, 2015 X.—On the Chalk and Sands beneath it {usually termed Green-sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon. BY H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.R., L. and G. S.S., ETC. [Read December 16th, 1825.] XN presenting' an account of the manner in which the above rocks occur in. the vicinity of Lyme Regis and Beer, I by no means wish to engage in the discussion which has arisen respecting Green-sand; but merely to describe the rocks, as they exist in that neighbourhood. At the same time, I consider it as much to be regretted, that some general term is not given to the sands, marls, and clays which occur beneath the Chalk, as has been done in the case of the Oolite formation: the various parts might then be distinguished by different specific names, and there would be no more impropriety in grouping the Green and Ferruginous sands together, than in uniting under one term the various members of the Oolite formation, and distinguishing them by the names of Great and Inferior oolite, Kimmeridge and Oxford clays*, &c. Some such arrangement as this would prevent much uncertainty: for at pre­ sent when the term Green-sand is used alone, without further distinction, we may be led to confound two different things. Moreover, we are in want of a general appellation by which to denote these rocks collectively; for we are not to suppose that all the small divisions that may be made in this collection of sands, marls, and clays in the east of England, can be traced into other and distant countries, where, however, the sands, &c., as a mass may be easily recognised.

Heathfield occupies a most convenient position adjacent to the A38 linking Plymouth and Cornwall to Exeter and the M5 motorway. Excellent road communications are therefore possible, making it a favoured site for businesses covering the whole of Devon, and benefiting from its central and strategic location. Exeter is approximately 18 miles distant with Plymouth 40 miles distant. Other local business centres are Newton Abbot (5 miles) and Torquay (12 miles) distant. The premises are suitable for vehicle, plant or material (B8) storage and would therefore suit a variety of potential users.

  • Chardstock Baptisms to 1879
    CHARDSTOCK ST. ANDREWS CHURCH - BAPTISMS Source: Chardstock Parish Registers and Bishop’s Transcripts Dates: 1579 to 1582 from Bishop’s Transcripts 1597 to 1846 transcripts from Parish Registers, except periods March 1707 to April 1713, July 1713 to August 1714 and August 1714 to June 1716 for which no records are available. 1847 to 1879 transcripts have been taken from photocopies of the Bishop’s Transcripts of the Chardstock Parish Registers, held in Wiltshire Records Office. Where these were unclear, they have been checked against microfiches of the originals, held in Devon Records Office, and altered as appropriate. There are a number of inconsistencies between the two versions; for instance Susan Cozins in the Bishop’s Transcript appears as Susan Cousins in the Parish Register. The Wiltshire records for years 1850, 1856, 1858 1862, 1864, 1865, 1868, 1871, 1873 and 1876 are missing, either because they were not copied originally or because they have been lost. These gaps have been made good from the Devon Records Office, and are included within this transcript. Both Parish Registers and Bishop’s Transcripts are given for the years 1847, 1848, 1849 and 1850. The researcher is strongly advised to consult the original copies at Wiltshire or Devon Record Office, and use these transcriptions only as a guide to what these sources contain. When using this site, the following points should also be borne in mind: Abbreviations have been avoided wherever possible and full stops have not been used in names, thus Wm C. Watts in the register appears as William C Watts. This measure is designed to assist word search software programmes.
