Dialect Words from North Somerset
YYCCCCCCAARRTT The future of the past T DIALECT WORDS FROM NORTH SOMERSET July 2015 version 2 Author: Vince Russett Yatton, Congresbury, Claverham and Cleeve Archaeological Research Team Place and Feature Names in Somerset Dialect, Occasionally Used in YCCCART Reports This article is dedicated to the memory of my father, Des Russett (1930-2014), who inspired in me not only a deep and abiding love of the countryside, but also a continuous curiosity about the world and the universe. Abstract The point has been (well) made that occasional West Country dialect terms find their way into YCCCART reports (it can sometimes be difficult to entirely remove oneself from one's roots!). This glossary will try to convey some of the meanings. Many of the words are still in common use, and like most Old English terms (and the occasional Old Cornish ones), they have nuances of meaning that are probably unappreciated outside of agricultural circles. Many of the terms also give rise to place-names. Some plant names are included, but I have shied away from the complex (and potentially dangerous) field of fungi. These terms occur infrequently and in context, and thus this article will almost certainly be updated from time to time. SE = Standard English Obs = obsolete Acknowledgements This report has been assembled with the (unwitting) knowledge of many farmers in the Northmarsh (a substantial proportion of whom I seem to have been at school with!) and beyond. Particular help was also given by current and former staff of the Somerset Record Office, Dr Michael Costen, the late Mr Keith Gardner, the late Mr Brian Olsen and others too numerous to name, but to whom I am eternally grateful for my personal context in West Country society. -
River Axe Biomass of Fish (All Species) 1991 Biomass (Gms/Square Metre) Iue 1 Figure
NRA/SLFAC/92/14 FISHERY SURVEY OF THE RIVER AXE CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION This fishery survey of the River Axe was started in April 1991 and concluded in October 1991. The watercourses surveyed were the River Axe itself together with its major tributaries, namely the River Cheddar Yeo and the Hixham Rhyne. 2. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 The headwaters of the River Axe are actually on top of Mendip and enter swallet holes. The recognised source of the river is Wookey Hole, which is one of the main springs arising from the Mendip limestone. The river falls progressively for the first 2 kilometres and then divides artificially into two branches. The most southerly, known as the Lower River Axe is in fact higher following the contour line through several villages and historically feeding several mills with water. Burcott Mill has been restored and still functions as a water mill. The northerly branch runs through Wookey and creates two fords before reuniting with the southerly branch at the top of Vestbury Moor. 2.2 The Axe valley part of the Somerset Moors and Levels is underlain primarily by alluvial clay of freshwater, marine and brackish origin. Where the river crosses this alluvial valley it has been straightened and widened since 1800. In the early 19th century there was a major scheme which cut off numerous meanders. The Cheddar Yeo was also realigned at the same time. These alterations were so dramatic that what are now the lowest reaches of the Yeo were once part of the course of the Axe. -

NORTH SOMERSET LEVELS INTERNAL DRAINAGE BOARD LAND DRAINAGE ACT 1991 NOTICE TO FARMERS AND RIPARIAN OWNERS Farmers and landowners with land adjoining the following ‘Viewed Rhyne’ watercourses are advised that the 2019 Flood Defence aquatic weed-cutting operations will take place broadly in accordance with the following programme. Flailing of watercourse banks will normally be necessary and this may take place several days before the weed-cutting work. All works will be undertaken in accordance with the Board’s Conservation Policy and Best Practice Guidelines. Riparian owners are reminded that in accordance with the Board’s Byelaws (2011) a 9-metre wide strip of land from the top of the bank should be kept clear for access and maintenance purposes. This particularly applies where land has been sub-divided to form small ‘pony paddocks’. The Board has legal right of entry, whilst efforts are made to minimise damage to crops it may not be possible to interrupt or delay the programme to avoid harvesting operations, as the Board’s contractor follows well-established operational routes for maximum efficiency.

Yatton Yesterday No. 8 1991
YATTON E S T E R D A Y No: 8 ~ 1991 Yatton Local History Society Editorial Our front cover for 1991 depicts the Methodist Church in Yatton. Since we now have our bi-monthly meetings in the church hall, and have been made very welcome, we thought we would make this small tribute. As always, we are indebted to John Scally for the art work. Bob Young, though still a member, asked to be relieved of the position of President in which he has served us for four years. His help and advice to me as Chairman have been invaluable,as have his contributions to ‘Yatton Yesterday’; our grateful thanks, Bob. ‘A History of Yatton’, compiled by Marian Barraclough from research by Society members, is another milestone in the Society’s programme. Whilst not imposing on ‘Yatton Yesterday’, it provides a superb background to our individual researches. Books 1, 2 and 7 of ‘Yatton Yesterday’ have completely sold out; copies are available of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our venture for 1992 will be to video the main events in the village during the year. Plans are at an early stage yet, but it is hoped to record Yatton’s history for posterity. Anyone interested in helping with this project please contact the Society. Our thanks are due once more to the local newsagents and Claverham Post Office for distributing ‘Yatton Yesterday’ free of charge. They have done this generously for seven years, and promise to help with this edition. Contributors from outside the Society continue to help us – our thanks to them. -
Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited
Environment Agency permitting decisions Variation We have decided to issue the variation for Lag Farm Dairy operated by Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited. The variation number is EPR/NP3532SU/V005. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Description of the changes introduced by the Variation This is a Substantial Variation. The Lag Farm Dairy processes milk and milk powders to produce yogurt. The installation comprises a milk reception area, liquid ingredient tanks, Cleaning in Place (CIP) tanks, mix tanks, incubation tanks, a production hall, a cold store and despatch area. There is a kerosene fired boiler plant, refrigeration plant and an effluent treatment plant. Current production is 1,600 tonnes per week. The operator wishes to increase production over the coming years to try to capture further market share with a view to increasing profitability. This will be by 300 tonnes per week in February 2016, with further annual increases of 200 tonnes per week to a maximum total of 3,200 tonnes per week. This will be achieved by increased production throughput via existing processes with additional packing machines and incubation tanks. Whilst the operator can demonstrate that their operational techniques are designed to ensure resource, water, energy and waste efficiency, there will be an increase in the total volume of process effluent generated, which will exceed the currently permitted limit of 500 m3/day. The volume of effluent will rise incrementally as production levels increase, to a maximum of 960 m3/day. -
Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Statement
NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION STATEMENT This note is the statement referred to on page 22 of the Consultation Statement which accompanied the Neighbourhood Plan submitted to North Somerset Council. It was prepared to assure the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill and Easton-in-Gordano that the Consultation Statement was accurate in its response to comments from a respondent to the consultation. It does not form part of the Neighbourhood Plan Pill and Easton Parish Council Abbots Leigh Parish Council October 2020 The Abbots Leigh, Ham Green, Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Neighbourhood Plan Preparation and Process: Response to Local Consultation comments (page 22 of the Consultation Statement) 1 Background on the Community Land Trust and the Neighbourhood Plan. In early 2016 the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill/Easton-in-Gordano set up two joint initiatives – a Community Land Trust (PDCLT) and a Neighbourhood Plan. Both initiatives were a response to housing challenges – the first an awareness of the lack of housing for local people in the area and the second the threat of major housing (1000 dwellings) either at Martcombe or at Chapel Pill (which lies within Abbots Leigh) or possibly both. PDCLT, supported by both parish councils, was initiated at an open meeting in May 2016 and became formally registered as an independent Community Benefit Society in August 2016. The possibility of conflicts of interest was discussed and all present declared no interest as landowner or having an option on land that might come forward for CLT homes. At a further open meeting (August 2016) a Board was elected with two Abbots Leigh parish councillors and two Pill/Easton Parish Council councillors. -
