  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan Arreton Valley Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service 0198 3 823810 Archaeology Unit @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for Arreton Valley INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography, land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. This HEAP identifies essential characteristics of the Arreton Valley HEAP Area as its open and exposed landscape with few native trees, its intensive agriculture and horticulture, its historic settlement patterns and buildings, and its valley floor pastures. The most significant features of this historic landscape, the most important forces for change, and key management issues are considered. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Geology is mainly Ferruginous Sands of the Lower Greensand Series with overlying Gravel Terraces in much of the area. Some Plateau Gravel deposits. Thin bands of Sandrock, Carstone, Gault and Upper Greensand along northern edge of area on boundary with East Wight Chalk Ridge . • Alluvium in river valleys. • Main watercourse is Eastern Yar which enters this HEAP Area at Great Budbridge and flows north east towards Newchurch. o Tributary streams flow into Yar. o The eastern side of the Yar Valley is crossed by drainage ditches to the south of Horringford. o Low-lying land to the east of Moor Farm and south of Bathingbourne has larger drainage canals • Land is generally below 50m OD with maximum altitude of 62m OD near Arreton Gore Cemetery.

    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.

    Publications Respecting Kentish Archaeology

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 15 1883 ( 369 ) PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO KENTISH ARCHEOLOGY. REVIEWED BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. Retrospections, Social and Archosological. By CHABIJES EOACH SMITH, F.S.A. Vol. i. (London: G-. Bell and Sons, 1883 ; price 12s. 6d., pp. 329.)—Writing in 1814, Mr. Dawson Turner said, " There is no English Antiquary to whom the science is more indebted " than to Mr. Eoach Smith. Almost forty years later, Mr. J. Q-. Waller has recently written in the Dover Standard:— " The establishment of Archaeological Societies, in this country, is chiefly due to Mr. Charles Roach Smith. The first step arose from a conversation between him and Mr. Thomas "Wright, at which I was present, .... in Mr. Smith's room at Lothbury." The result of that conversation was the formation of the British Archaeological Association, with Lord Albert Conyngham as Presi- dent. The first Archeeological Congress assembled in 1843, at Canterbury, where, says Mr. Eoach Smith, in his Retrospections, " I and Thomas Wright, my acting colleague (for Mr. Albert Way, appointed co-secretary with me, did not attend), took up our abode at the Queen's Head. Here we were joined by Joseph Clarke, J. O. Halliwell, Thomas Bateman, Alfred Dunltin, W. Addison Combs, and the Rev. Stephen Isaacson." The Retrospections of an Antiquary who is the true parent of all existing Archaeological Societies, cannot fail to be of interest to their members. This volume is clearly printed, and abounds in amusing episodes. Some readers no doubt will chafe at its lack of chronological arrangement, and at the utter absence of dates; but all will agree that its matter is pleasantly put together and full of interest.
  • Pharmacy on the Isle of Wight ‘A Guide to Pharmacy & Pharmacy Services’

    Pharmacy on the Isle of Wight ‘A Guide to Pharmacy & Pharmacy Services’

    Pharmacy on the Isle of Wight ‘A Guide to Pharmacy & Pharmacy Services’ Introduction to the Island The Isle of Wight is a beautiful place to live and work and is recognised as an area of special scientific interest. Island residents have excellent access/ opportunities to a huge range of leisure pursuits including walking, sailing and cycling. Links with the mainland are excellent and frequent. Most of the Island is semi-rural with miles of unspoilt bridleways coursing through National Trust woods and over chalk downs. Spectacular cliff and coastal walks can be enjoyed all around the Island. Prices of houses compare favourably to the mainland and southern England with a wide choice of desirable property to suit all tastes. In addition, there are excellent public and private schools, and shopping and leisure facilities on the Island have improved enormously in recent years. There are multiple frequent ferry links to the mainland and London can be reached in 90 minutes by rail from Southampton or Portsmouth. There is a regional airport at Southampton, just 30 minutes away, with flights to many European destinations as well as UK mainland cities. The Isle of Wight is situated about five miles off the south coast of the English mainland and resembles a diamond in shape. It measures just 23 miles east to west and 13 miles north to south - an area of 147 square miles and has a population of around 150,000. The Island is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the UK, with around one million tourists visiting every year.
