  • Wiltshire Council Agenda Item No. Northern Area
    WILTSHIRE COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. NORTHERN AREA PLANNING COMMITTEE HIGHWAYS ACT S.119 APPLICATION TO DIVERT PUBLIC BRIDLEWAYS CALNE WITHOUT 89 (PART), 89A AND 89B AT THE MILL HOUSE, CALSTONE WELLINGTON Purpose of Report 1. To: (i) Consider an application for an Order to divert lengths of public bridleways at The Mill House, Calstone Wellington, Calne. (ii) Recommend that Wiltshire Council refuses the application for an Order to divert lengths of public bridleways at The Mill House, Calstone Wellington, Calne. The officers’ report and appendices are appended at Appendix 1. Appendix 1.F is a plan showing the existing route and the proposed change and is provided for reference purposes. Relevance to the Council’s Business Plan 2. Working with the local community to provide a rights of way network which is fit for purpose, making Wiltshire an even better place to live, work and visit. Background 3. Wiltshire Council has statutory duties to maintain the record of public rights of way in Wiltshire (excluding the Borough of Swindon), to maintain the rights of way shown therein, and to assert and protect them for the use and enjoyment of the public. These duties are not discretionary. 4. In addition to these duties the Council also has a power to make Orders to alter the rights of way network (though not for highways carrying a right for the public to use mechanically propelled vehicles). These Orders are known as public path Orders and they may create, extinguish or divert public rights of way. Wiltshire Council accepts applications for these Orders and processes them amongst work relating to its statutory duties.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

  • Bremhill Parish Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment
    Bremhill Parish Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment FINAL DRAFT - June 2016 PLANNING THE FUTURE OF THE PARISH 2016 - 2030 Wiltshire Council Strategic Environmental Assessment - Screening determination for the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan December 2015 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Legislative requirements 3. The Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan 4. SEA Screening assessment 5. SEA Screening decision 2 1. Introduction 1.1. This document provides a screening determination of the need to carry out a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. 1.2. Wiltshire Council, as the ‘Responsible Authority’1 under the SEA Regulations2, is responsible for undertaking this screening process of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. It will determine if the plan is likely to have significant environmental effects, and hence whether SEA is required. 1.3. This process has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of European Directive 2001/42/EC3, often known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, which has been transposed into English law by the SEA Regulations. 2. Legislative requirements 2.1. The Localism Act 2011 requires neighbourhood plans to comply with EU legislation. The screening procedure outlined in this report meets the requirements of the SEA Directive and Regulations, as introduced in Section 1 of this document. 2.2. Regulation 5 of the SEA Regulations requires an environmental assessment of plans which: 1. Are prepared for agriculture, forestry, fisheries, energy, industry, transport, waste management, water management, telecommunications, tourism, town and country planning or land use (Regulation 5, para. (2)(a), and which set the framework for future development consent of projects listed in Annex I or II to Council Directive 85/337/EEC (EIA Directive) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (Regulation 5, para.

  • Bremhill Draft (April 2021).Pdf
    [Draft text by Dr Louise Ryland-Epton, completed April 2021 apart from the first section and minor checking to be undertaken when restrictions are lifted] BREMHILL LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILDINGS [not yet completed] LANDOWNERSHIP Before the Reformation the manors of Bremhill, Foxham and Spirthill were in possession of the monks of Malmesbury abbey. The adjacent manor of Stanley belonged to the Cistercian order of Stanley abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries, these estates were acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun. From the 16th to the 20th century, they were primarily held by non- resident lords. In the 20th century, these estates were sold off as separate farms and small holdings. Bremhill Manor King Athelstan gifted an estate at Bremhill to Malmesbury abbey c.935.1 However, the authenticity of the charter has been questioned.2 A confirmation of the abbey’s land and privileges by Edward in 1065 is also disputed.3 In 1086 the manor of Bremhill was held by the monks of Malmesbury abbey. It paid geld for 38 hides.4 The estate was surrendered to the crown in 1539 and acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham (will pr. 1545), vice- chamberlain to five wives of Henry VIII, the following year.5 Sir Edward Bayntun was succeeded by his son, Andrew (d.1564).6 Andrew briefly lost control of his estates, after which financial difficulties led him to entail them to his brother, Edward (d.1593). However, the financial mismanagement continued, and on Andrew’s death in 1564, his brother was involved in a court action to secure the inheritance.

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 13 August 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.

  • Calne Town Council Full Council 17/06/2019 River Marden
    Calne Town Council Full Council 17/06/2019 River Marden modelling by Bristol Avon Rivers Trust Report of the Head of Operations 1. Purpose of the report The purpose of this report is to update members as resolved at the Full Council meeting of 8/4/2019. It is requested that members support the initiative presented to Full Council on 8th April 2019 by Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART), a charitable foundation. It should be noted that the River Marden is not the responsibility of Calne Town Council. The river, however, plays a major environmental and community part in the design of the town centre and is enjoyed by local people and visitors alike. 2. Background The River Marden is the only chalk stream to feed into the River Avon, therefore its’ health is of major importance. As members will be aware, BART has been active within the Calne area of the River Marden for some time, working closely with Castlefields Canal & River Park Association. (CARP) and Calne Town Council. BART exists and helps to protect and improve rivers in many ways including: • Re-naturalising riverside and in-channel habitat to increase diversity and numbers of fish, flora and wildlife. • Collaborating in or managing agricultural land management projects for river water quality and habitat benefits. • Bringing people together who have a common interest in a healthy functioning river system. • Identifying funding sources and matching them to known local needs. • Providing education to help people better understand and protect their rivers BART has been involved in riverfly studies, installation of flow diverters and tree planting on the Marden to name but a few of their efforts.

  • Survey Report St Mary the Virgin, Calstone Wellington
    Survey Report St Mary the Virgin, Calstone Wellington January 2020 Introduction Today the church of St Mary the Virgin today lies in isolation at the base of the Cherhill downs south of the main A4 road between Calne and Cherhill, Wiltshire SU027681, Lat/long 51.412520,-1.962587. The church was rebuilt in the mid 15th Century on the site of an earlier church. The porch timbers come from a later date. The density of graffiti within the church porch is unsurpassed in the county and reveals much about how symbolism was important throughout the post-medieval period. This goes beyond simply making your mark, the amount and variety of graffiti here suggests toleration & encouragement. Within this report we include a photographic survey of the graffiti, offer some interpretation and the methodology used to capture the essence of the symbology. Wiltshire Medieval Graffiti Survey This project was set up in 2014 in order to record historical graffiti and re-use of stone throughout the county of Wiltshire. We continue to support and communicate with similar projects through the UK and Europe, allowing for the development of common recording techniques and a shared terminology for classification. Research Aims & Objectives (i) To systematically record historical graffiti, inscriptions, re-uses of stone using non-invasive methods. (ii) To present findings in a format that is comprehensive and offers a typology that may include; apotropaic symbolism, folk art, names and dates and Christian symbolism. (iii) To increase knowledge and understanding of a building from a social perspective. How folk made their mark and why.

  • English Medieval Population: Reconciling Time Series and Cross Sectional Evidence
    ENGLISH MEDIEVAL POPULATION: RECONCILING TIME SERIES AND CROSS SECTIONAL EVIDENCE Stephen Broadberry, London School of Economics, [email protected] Bruce M. S. Campbell, The Queen’s University of Belfast, [email protected] Bas van Leeuwen, University of Warwick, [email protected] 11 October 2011 File: MedievalPopulation8 Abstract: A new time series for English medieval population is constructed from manor-level data using an index-number approach and a regional-weighting scheme. The absolute level of the medieval population is established with a benchmark for 1377, but using the need for consistency with other benchmarks for 1086, 1522 and 1541 as additional constraints. The amount of food required to support the peak medieval population is checked against a reconstruction of English agriculture at that time. Acknowledgements: This paper forms part of the project “Reconstructing the National Income of Britain and Holland, c.1270/1500 to 1850”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, Reference Number F/00215AR.We are grateful to Alexander Apostolides for valuable research assistance and to Larry Poos for making available his data on tithing-penny payments. 1 I. INTRODUCTION The pioneering work on English medieval population by Russell (1948) established benchmark levels of population for 1086 and 1377 and considered time-series evidence to link these to each other and to estimates for the early-modern period. Russell paid particular attention to the consistency of his estimates over this long sweep of history and arrived at the conclusion that the peak level of medieval population before the Black Death was around 3.7 million.
