Each year, Alton have a Jane Austen/Regency week. I know that Sarah is a fan of Jane Austen, the novelist, and has watched all the adaptations for film or television. Last year Sarah was involved in one of the days when we visited Chawton House on a guided tour. We enjoyed a Regency Picnic in the middle of Alton and the day ended by joining a discussion about the novel Emma. For the visit, I made Sarah a Regency-style dress and chemise, based on an 1810 design, and lent her a bonnet, bag and gloves. Sarah, bless her, was so exhausted that she fell asleep during the discussion. This year’s discussion is about Mansfield Park. I gave Sarah a copy at Christmas so she was able to do some advanced reading. In preparation for the day and in true Regency manner, I embellished Sarah’s dress with even more lace and also made her a reticule in the same fabric as her dress and also gave her a pair of lace gloves to own for herself. This year we have learnt not to be too ambitious and trying not to do too much in a short space of time. On Tuesday 25th, I am going to be Sarah’s Ladies Maid and assist her with her “dressing”. The pair of us will be wearing our best Regency finery when we visit and do a bit of promenading as well shopping. This will be followed by a spot of lunch and then we will join in the Tea Time discussion at the Assembly Rooms. This year, hopefully, she won’t come back as exhausted and no doubt she will be ready for the 2020 Regency Week. 3 Editor’s column – W.Bro. Peter Cartwright N the last edition, I enthused over the I beginning of spring. Now some many months later, after a mostly glorious hot summer, we are on the brink of welcoming a symphony of autumn colours in late September. As the oak, horse chestnut and sycamore change the colour of their leaves from greens to an array of browns, oranges, auburns and olives, it is a sight to behold. How beautiful nature is. How wonderful is the gift we see around us in an English autumn. Many people who have travelled to New We must remember that this fragile earth so England will say that that place is the most often mis-treated by humans, is so finely colourful in autumn. But in old England, and balanced that we must take due care to particularly in the beautiful countryside in and protect and cherish nature’s greatest gift. around Surrey, there are areas unsurpassed in their visual delight. I love not man the less but nature more. BYRON “Positive people are more likely to live to the age of 85 or more” (New study via BBC). Over the next few years, we’ll support 10,000 older people to have a more positive outlook on life, through our £1 million partnership with @ageuk.

Currently it fails to meet Water Framework Directive objects of clean water. Due to the many pressures of urbanisation and the loss of natural environment, sections of the Thames channel and its tributaries vary in status, quality and the challenges facing them. Key issues in the catchment include pollution from phosphates that are reducing the diversity of aquatic species and the impact of weirs and other obstructions to fish migration. The catchment based approach, gives us the opportunity to take responsibility locally, answer questions towards issues, and fix problems in the catchment.

A Village Design Statement (VDS) highlights the qualities, style, building materials, characteristics and landscape setting of a parish, which are valued by its residents. The background, advice and guidelines given herein should be taken into account by developers, builders and residents before considering development. The development policies for the Frensham Parish area are the “saved Policies” derived from Waverley Borough Council’s Local Plan 2002, (which has now been superseded. It is proposed that the Frensham VDS should be Supplementary Planning Guidance, related to Saved Policy D4 ‘Design and Layout’. Over recent years the Parish Council Planning Committee, seeing very many applications relating to our special area, came to the conclusion that our area has individual and special aspirations that we wish to see incorporated into the planning system. Hopefully this will make the Parish’s aspirations clearer to those submitting applications to the Borough Council and give clear policy guidance. This document cannot be exhaustive but we hope that we have included sufficient detail to indicate what we would like to conserve in our village, and how we would like to see it develop. This VDS is a ‘snapshot’ reflecting the Parish’s views and situation in2008, and may need to be reviewed in the future in line with changing local needs, and new Waverley, regional and national plans and policies.

  • River Tillingbourne – Albury Estates
    River Tillingbourne – Albury Estates Advisory Visit April 2018 Key Findings • The Tillingbourne through the Albury Estate land holdings does support viable wild trout habitat but is severely compromised by impounding structures on both beats. • The move to an unstocked, wild fishery will enable the wild component of the stock to develop. • Some excellent work designed to improve habitat quality has already been undertaken but the scope for further enhancement is huge. • The bottom lake on the Vale End Fishery is unsustainable, fragments river habitats, blocks natural fish migration and locally impacts water quality. Removing the dam and reinstating a natural stream would be a flagship project but would undoubtedly attract external funding and support from government agencies as well as catchment partners. • The WTT can help to prepare a costed project proposal and partner the Estate in helping to deliver a sustainable wild trout fishery at Vale End. 1 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to the River Tillingbourne on the Albury Estate in Surrey. The Estate management currently runs a network of still-water game fisheries, primarily stocked with farm-reared rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and occasional brown trout (Salmo trutta). In addition, the Estate offers chalkstream fly fishing opportunities on two separate beats of river which run parallel with the Estate’s stocked trout lakes. The Estate also runs a section of syndicated river fishing immediately upstream of the Weston Fishery which is not included in this report. Historically, the river sections available to paying day rods have been stocked with farm-reared brown trout and the Estate have recently ceased stocking on these two day ticket beats and are looking to develop the wild component of the stock via a programme of improved habitat management.
