  • Our Wetland Heritage: an Integrated Approach Towards Managing Coastal Landscapes
    Our Wetland Heritage: An Integrated Approach Towards Managing Coastal Landscapes Stephen Rippon and Adam Wainwright Summary This report summarises the first phase of work on the Arts and Humanities Research Council Knowledge Transfer Fellowship scheme grant Our Wetland Heritage: An Integrated Approach Towards Managing Coastal Landscapes (AHRC ID No.: AH/G016895/1). This is a partnership between the University of Exeter, the RSPB and the Historic Environment Service of Essex County Council, in the proposed nature reserves of the South Essex Marshes, on the north banks of the river Thames east of London. The report describes the sources and methods used to understand the development of the historic landscape – the present pattern of fields, roads, flood defences etc – and provides an outline of the major phases of activity. The overall character of the historic landscape across the study area was remarkably uniform and indicative of a landscape that has been used primarily for pastoral use (albeit with some relatively recent ploughing in a few areas): none of the distinctive evidence for intensive farming in the medieval or early modern periods, that is so common on most other British coastal wetlands, was found although the possibility that late medieval flooding has destroyed or buried this evidence cannot be ruled out. A wide range of sources has enabled the pre-reclamation natural drainage pattern to be reconstructed, leading to the conclusion that until the 17th century the South Essex Marshes were an archipelago of many small islands. The first phase of embankment evident in the historic landscape appears to have been small, localised reclamations that probably date to the medieval period (perhaps the 12th to 14th centuries): originally few in number, and with many having been destroyed by later development, the surviving remains of these early embankments are of very great importance.

  • Colchester Borough Council
    COLCHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2008 December 2008 Prepared by Essex Ecology Services Ltd. EECOS Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough, Colchester, Essex, CO5 7RZ 01621 862986, [email protected] Company Registered No. 2853947 VAT Registered No. 623 4432 65 IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The term "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC) used in previous reports is here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site”. Rationale It is hoped that this identification of Local Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners and together we hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. Public Access Identification as a Local Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times. Land Ownership It has always been the intention of the Essex Wildlife Trust to contact all landowners of Local Wildlife Sites, advising them of this identification and promoting nature conservation management of the site. To that end, the Essex Wildlife Trust has appointed a Local Wildlife Sites Officer. While this lengthy undertaking is in progress it is requested that the Essex Wildlife Trust is contacted prior to any formal approach regarding any Site identified within this report.
