Scarth, H M, on the Traces of Camps and Ancient Earth-Works Still
98 PAPERS, ETC. (Dn tjje €nm nf Cflni|i0 anil Slnrient (Bart|i-‘S)nrk0 still Existing arnnnii ’iatfj anil in tjjx jleigljlinarljanii. BY THE REV. H. M. SCARTH, M.A. rj^HERE are no traces of human labour so lasting as i mounds or earth-works— none which in all the vicissitudes through which society passes in the lapse of ages, retain their characters with so little variation—none which so completely defy the hand of time, and provoke less the ravages of man. While lofty buildings are de- stroyed for the sake of their materials, when they have once fallen into disuse, and few edifices are suffered to continue unless they can be converted to other purposes, and so turned to profitable account—the earth-work con- tinues the same, or with very little alteration, from the time that it was neglected, or abandoned as a place of defence, or forgotten as a boundary-line, or unused as a road, or ceased to be regarded as a place marking the repose of the dead, who it may be had fallen in battle. ON ANCIENT CAMPS AND EARTH-WORKS. 99 In certain places where the land is adapted for the purposes of agriculture, there these land-marks of the history of former ages have gradually been effaced by the use of the plough, or the soil spread around with the object of im- proving the fertility of the land ; but as earth-works for the most part occur on high lands, or barren hills, or on moors unsuited for cultivation, they remain much in the same state as when they ceased to be occupied for defen- sive and other purposes, except that the gradual decay of herbage, and its reproduction, as well as the washing of the rain and winter floods, tend in some degree to bring them gradually to a level surface. -

Whitchurch Village Council Response
Whitchurch Village Council Community Centre Office Bristol Road Whitchurch Bristol BS14 0PT [email protected] nd 2 March 2019 Dear Sir/Madam, WVC: Objection to WECA JLTP4 2019-2036 Consultation Please find enclosed an objection to the WECA Joint Local Transport Plan for 2019 – 2036 on behalf of Whitchurch Village Council (WVC). WVC has responsibility for the whole parish of Whitchurch, and plays a vital role in acting on behalf of the community it represents. The Council has a wide range of powers and responsibilities including: ● Administration of open spaces, play areas, bus shelters, cemeteries, allotments. ● Assessment of planning applications and other proposals which may affect the parish ● Undertaking projects and schemes that benefit local residents ● Helping other tiers of local government keep in touch with their local communities The Village Council has previously objected to the Joint Spatial Plan (JSP). Specifically, it has significant concerns about, and has objected to the allocation of a strategic development location which allocates Whitchurch as an SDL in the JSP (7.2 Whitchurch). The WVC objection to the JLTP4 is also an objection to the principle of further unnecessary road developments which is seen as a precursor to an urban extension for Bristol, within Whitchurch, which will harm the character, setting and environment of the village. The JLTP is predicated on a false premise that the strategic development locations within the JSP are required, and are identified in the best locations. They are not. The only rationale for the relief road from Hicks Gate to Whitchurch is to open up land for development. -

East Coker Monarch's Way Walk
East Coker Monarch’s Way Walk For nearly half of its length this walk (3.9 miles, 6.3 km) follows the long distance path known as Monarch’s Way. It returns round the northern area of the parish, passing one of the oldest properties in the area. It is marked in Dark Blue on the Discover East Coker map and walkers should refer to OS Explorer Map 129 for more detail. Countryside paths can be muddy at times and waterproof footwear is advised. Park considerately and start at the Village Hall (Grid Ref. ST537128) From the Village Hall turn right into Halves Lane and immediately right into Drakes Meadow. Follow the tarmac road round to the left and right onto a footpath and turn left onto the road towards a large old building (East Coker Mill) . Before the Mill, turn right onto the footpath signposted Chapel Row 1/6 mile over a stile. Follow the right of the field to the rear of Mill Close gardens. The Pavilion and playing fields are to the left. At the next stile, turn right past Chapel Row on Long Furlong Lane. This building originally housed the East Coker Workhouse. At the T junction, turn sharp left into Burton. After the row of cottages, take the kissing gate on the right signposted Naish Priory 3/4 mile. This follows a red brick wall and then joins a track adjoining North Coker House to the right. This walled garden supplied all the needs of the house in fruit and vegetables until North Coker House was converted into apartments. -
Which Mr. Freeman Described As an Excellent Example There Were Any Remains, and Was the Best Worthy of Study and This Form Was P
20 NINETEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. by a visit to Canynge’s house in Redcliff Street, now in the occupation of Messrs. Jefferies and Son. At the evening meeting held at the Fine Arts Academy, a paper ‘^on the Geology of the Clifton Rocks;” was read by Mr. W. Stoddart. This paper is printed in Part IT. The Rev. W. Hunt then read a paper on the Rise of Bristol Trade,"” which is printed in Part II. Votes of thanks having been passed to Mr. Stoddart and Rev. W. Hunt, the meeting closed. The members and their friends assembled at the Fine Arts Academy, at 10 o^clock, and notwithstanding a steady downpour of rain, started on the Excursion which had been arranged for the day. The first halt was at the d|Iiuri[h tif lelhitttmntli which Mr. Freeman described as an excellent example of the earliest type of the Somersetshire churches of which there were any remains, and was the best worthy of study of any he knew, retaining, as it did, many of its original features, which in many cases had been very much altered. It was of the early local type, when the cross form seemed to have been very common ; and this form was preserved in this case, whereas in many of the earlier churches it had given way to the predominant west-end towdi*, as at St, Cuthbert^s, at Wells. This church at Whitchurch was an excellent example of the transitional style towards the end of the 12 th or the beginning of the 13th century, the corner shafts being among the best specimens of transitional work anywhere. -
