On opening The Times of that morning and running his eye over its chief contents before sitting down to breakfast, Sir Buck­ ston observed that the British Association for the Ad­ vancement of Science—of which one of the authors of this book was and is Secretary— had assembled in Leeds and that on the previous evening the president had delivered the address with which each annual meeting opens.

  • The Owl Prowl Continues!
    The Owl Prowl Continues! Report of Pilot Survey A tawny owl survey was carried out this autumn in the London Borough of Bromley under the leadership of Bromley Biodiversity Partnership, in particular by Bill Whitaker of the OFC. 59 records were submitted by 33 people from many parts of the borough. Tawny owls were recorded in about 17 areas: High Elms & the Cudham Valley, Darrick Wood area, Marvels & Elmstead Woods, between Elmstead Wood and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, between Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground & Chislehurst Golf Course, Chislehurst Golf Course itself, Old Hill/Lubbock Road area, Chislehurst, Sundridge Park, Kemnal Road, Chislehurst, the St Pauls Cray Road area, Hawkwood Estate/Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Hayes, near Bromley South, Kelsey Park, Beckenham, Crofton Woods and south of Biggin Hill. The records clearly show recording effort, with no records for several areas where owls are very likely to be present such as West Wickham and Keston Commons and hardly any records for areas of open countryside to the south and east of the borough where fewer people live. The almost complete lack of records from these areas and the peripheral wards of LBB to the east, south east, south and south west are also likely to be due in part to the fact that we were unable to communicate effectively with residents in these areas before the survey commenced. Within the larger areas where recordings were submitted there are probably several tawny owl territories, for example within High Elms Country Park and along the Cudham Valley. In well populated areas, for example within Chislehurst, there is likely to be some duplication of records, but the large number of tawny owl records for Chislehurst and its surroundings (Chislehurst Common, Chislehurst Golf Course, Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Elmstead and Marvels Wood, Sundridge Park and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, together with gardens between), may also reflect the importance of good connectivity between areas rich in biodiversity within an urban area.

  • Oepington Chueoh
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 374 ) OEPINGTON CHUEOH. As Orpington Manor was paramount, and claimed jurisdic- tion, over all manors in St. Mary Cray, Hayes, Downe and Nockholt, so in like manner was Orpington Church the mother church, to which, until recent times, the churches of those four parishes were appendant chapels. As bearing upon the origin of parishes, of church-endowments, and of church-patronage, the fact that the supremacy of Orpington over St. Mary Cray, Hayes, Downe, and Nockholt, was main- tained both for manorial and for ecclesiastical purposes, during so many centuries, is noteworthy. When we remem- ber the importance, and dignity, which thus attached to Orpington Church, we are surprised that it is not of grander dimensions. Its interior is but 100 feet long. Sparseness of population might, in our times, account for its small size; as in 1377, Orpington contained not more than 290 souls; Downe, about 167; Hayes 104; and Nockholt 83.* But, in the middle ages, population did not regulate the dimensions of churches. Greater interest, however, attaches to the nave of Orpington Church, from the very fact that its walls have never been broken into, for the purpose of adding aisles. We therefore have, in this long narrow nave, the original lines designed by the architect in the eleventh, or twelfth, century. Its interior is 64| feet long, and 22 feet 2 inches wide. High up in the south wall, near the chancel arch, are indications of an original round-headed window.
