But a number of volumes by different writers are never likely to be quite uniform in character, even though planned on the same lines; and it seems desirable to explain shortly the aim we have had in view in writing our own little book. In our accounts of places of interest we have subordinated the historical to the descriptive element; and whilst we have related pretty fully in the Introduction the events of national importance which have taken place within the county, we have not devoted much space to family histories. We have made it our chief purpose to help our readers to see for themselves what is best worth seeing. If, in carrying out our design, we appear to have treated inadequately many interesting country seats, our excuse must be that such are naturally not very accessible to the ordinary tourist, whose needs we have sought to supply. And if churches and church architecture seem to receive undue attention, it may be page 2 / 318 pleaded that Somerset is particularly rich in ecclesiastical buildings, and affords excellent opportunities for the pursuit of a fascinating study.

  • Wellow Parish Plan 2006
    Wellow Parish Plan 2006 Dedication Although many have contributed to the production of the Wellow Parish Plan, perhaps no one has taken such a keen interest in Wellow - past, present and future - as Gordon Hewlett. Not only did Gordon get the Parish Plan up and running through his contributions on the Steering Group, but his enthusiasm for the project and his love of the people and the place leave us the poorer for his passing. We hope that the Parish Plan might be seen as a small part of his legacy, not only to those of us who knew him personally but also to those who did not.

  • World Heritage Site Setting Study Information Paper October 2009 PART 2
    Chapter 4 Historical Setting Methodology The methodology for assessing the historical setting of the World Heritage Site (WHS) was to carry out a search of all elements in the Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) / Historic Environment Record (HER) (see Appendix 6) and to commission a desktop study of the main historic routes into and out of the city, and of the main historical views and places of interest in and around the city (see Appendices 2 and 3 City of Bath World Heritage Site Setting Identification Project: Historical Research, Mike Chapman 2006). The results of these studies have been analysed for their particular importance to the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the following themes highlighted: • Roman occupation and activities that related to the Roman town and its hinterland (see Map 7 at the end of this chapter) • The Georgian town, and Georgian buildings and places of interest (see Map 8 at the end of this chapter) • Historic routes to and from the city still in use (see Map 9 in Appendix 2) • Bath Stone (oolitic limestone) quarrying or mining in the local area and associated settlements and facilities or infrastructure, both Roman and 18th or 19th century • Key areas used by residents of or visitors to the city for leisure in 18th or 19th century (see Map 10 in Appendix 3) • Key viewing points overlooking the city known from written history, literature or art • Key views from within the city or its immediate environs out to the surrounding landscape as known from written history, literature or art Each of these individually and in combination contribute to and form the contextual setting of the WHS.
