Stretching from Orcombe Point near Exmouth in the West to Swanage’s Old Harry Sidmouth Rocks in the East, the Jurassic Coast presents an almost complete chronological sequence of rock formations covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and the fossils contained within these strata have provided scientists with an unrivalled insight into the processes that have shaped life on earth.

Uniquely for a town of its size, Lyme’s museum was a purpose- From 1978 until 1988, the museum’s resurrection was overseen by built building, commissioned in 1901 by former Mayor Thomas E renowned author and Lyme resident John Fowles.

    Congregational Chapel's Graveyard

    https://www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk/research Congregational Chapel Coombe Street, Lyme Regis The Search for a Graveyard Graham Davies, July 2021 The Dinosaurland Fossil Museum in Coombe Street, Lyme Regis, occupies a grade I listed building, a former Congregational (more recently, United Reform) Chapel which closed its doors to religious services in 1985. The Congregational (Independent) Church was formed in Lyme in 1662 following the ejection of the vicar, the Rev A Short, for non-compliance with the Act of Uniformity. He subsequently held services in his own house in Church Street and elsewhere, but was constantly hounded by the authorities. He died in 1697. In 1734 the Rev J Whitty became the new minister and under his guidance a chapel was built in Coombe Street in 1755. Dinosaurland, June 2013 In 2012, research team members, Diane Shaw, Derek Perrey and Graham Davies reviewed the Museum’s Congregational Chapel archives. They found a reference to a ‘curious little graveyard’ on the Lynch, belonging to the Congregational Chapel. In 1841, on behalf of the Chapel, a piece of ground, with two cottages on it (ref 192, 1841 tithe map), situated on the Lynch, was purchased by Mr Theophilus B Goddard from Mr Fowler, of the Hart Inn, at a price of £250. Extensive alterations were made to the cottages, and the part to be used as the burial ground was walled off from the rest. Mr Goddard hoped the Church would repay him his £250 through rents, burial fees and subscriptions. Through lack of subscriptions, Mr Goddard was set free by the Church in 1873 to dispose of the cottages as he saw fit, leaving them the graveyard.

    Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017

    Dorset Seasearch: Annual Summary Report 2017 The 2017 diving season was another busy one for Dorset Seasearch with ten days of Seasearch diving as well as three Seasearch Observer courses. Five diving days were lost to bad weather conditions: four week day Seasearch friendly dives from West Bay and one day of the Lyme Bay weekend in October. Altogether 52 divers took part in dives organised by Dorset Seasearch in 2017. The Dives Lyme Regis with Rob King on Blue Turtle. Four dives were achieved over a breezy weekend in June all within the zone covered by the Statutory Instrument (SI) for Lyme Bay which prohibits the use of mobile fishing gear within the area. Both days were sunny with a south-westerly swell running, just perceptible at diving depth and an increasingly strong breeze in the Sunday. Visibility in-water was good and diving conditions whilst in-water were pleasant. The first dive target was a boulder reef 9km southeast of Lyme Regis near the southern edge of the area closed to bottom towed gear (Lyme Bay SI) on a known chalk outcrop. The site had a diverse epifauna including Pink Sea Fans (Eunicella verrucosa) and a range of sponges, bryozoa and sea squirts. The second dive targeted a site a bit further inshore which revealed low-lying bedrock ledges separated by flat bedrock with a mobile sediment veneer of sand and gravel composed of stone and shell. Again a diverse fauna was reported with Eunicella verrucosa represented by a range of different aged colonies as well as the nationally scarce branching sponge Adreus fascicularis.

Introduction The aim of this project is to identify ways to safeguard important scientific fossils from the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. The identification of placements in accredited museums would enable intellectual access for scientific study and education. Two consulting companies Weightman Associates and Hidden Horizons have been commissioned to undertake this Project. Weightman Associates is a partnership of Gill Weightman and Alan Weightman; they have been in partnership for twenty years working on museum and geology projects. Hidden Horizons Ltd is a museum and heritage consultancy formed in 2013 by Will Watts. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. The Jurassic Coast Management Plan 2014-2019 has as one of its aims to “To Conserve and enhance the Site and its setting for science, education and public enjoyment” and the Plan states that a critical success factor is “An increase in the number of scientifically important fossils found along the site that are acquired by or loaned back to local accredited museums”.

    Newsletter for the Friends of Lyme Regis Philpot Museum

    MUSEUM FRIEND Newsletter for the Friends of Lyme Regis Philpot Museum January 2018 (Issue 31) Patrons : Sir David Attenborough, Tracy Chevalier, Minnie Churchill Registered Charity No. 278774 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Friends, Our museum, complete with new Mary Anning Wing, re-opened in July, on time and on budget. A preview, with tea and cake, was enjoyed by the museum volunteers, builders, architects and others involved in the build, all of whom had worked so hard to make this possible. We were bowled over by the new geology gallery and the Fine Foundation Learning Centre; it has been well worth the wait! There have since been two formal openings, the first for all of the local volunteers at which Tracy Chevalier, a Patron of the Friends, gave a gracious speech to the assembled throng in the Marine Theatre. The second was primarily aimed at thanking the HLF and other major granting bodies that donated generously to the Mary Anning Wing. It was great to see Mary Godwin, predecessor to our current Director, and to catch up with Minnie Churchill, another distinguished Patron of the Friends. The star attraction on this occasion was Friends’ Patron, Sir David Attenborough who, in the morning, studied some impressive local fossils with museum geologists Paddy and Chris, followed by a session with local junior school children. In the afternoon, speeches in the Marine Theatre from the Chairman of Trustees and then the Head of HLF for the South West were followed by a typically demonstrative and engaging speech from Sir David on the twin themes of Mary Anning and the importance of Lyme Regis as a birthplace of modern geology.

    Bat Friendly Beer

    Community Case Study - Bat Friendly Beer What is Bat Friendly Beer? The Bat Friendly Beer initiative is an ad hoc group who first met on 17 May 2017. The group came about to promote Beer as Bat Friendly and to encourage collaborative working to deliver a number of benefits for bats, other wildlife, organisations and people in Beer. The Bat Friendly Beer Working Group (BFBWG) at least 3 times per year. The Bat Friendly Beer Working Group aims to: • Work together with other organisations together to promote the village of Beer as bat friendly and achieve DGHBP Bat Friendly Accreditation. • Deliver education, community engagement and practical tasks within Beer and surrounding area. • Apply for funding grants such as Batworks to maximise opportunities for this aspiring bat friendly community . Who is involved? The BFBWG includes members on the basis of relevance and direct expertise supportive of the working group’s functions. Other individuals or organisations are welcomed. The role of chairperson and note-taker rotates at each meeting. A facilitator (Kate Ponting- Clinton Devon Estates) schedules the meetings and circulate any documents and information.
