  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.

  • Church Times
    PRAYER FOR THE MONTH Divine artist of autumn’s glory, help us to paint the world with your love and bring colour to lives that are grey and sad. As we warm ourselves by the hearth or watch fireworks, enflame our hearts with warmth for one another and shine your light through us on those in darkness. When we pray this month for loved ones departed and for the peace of the world, remind us that peace begins in our hearts. NEWS FROM THE PARISHES ASHBOCKING I am delighted to say that the Swilland and Ashbocking Harvest barn dance was an enormous success. The number of tickets sold (105) far outweighed expectation and everyone had an enjoyable evening with a two-course meal followed by lots of dancing to Inertia Reel, who kept us all on our toes. The children joined in with gusto and had a lovely time. It was a true team effort by people from both churches providing the food and setting up the tables. A big thank you to all concerned and also to the extra volunteers who stayed at the end and rapidly dismantled tables and stacked chairs. This was indeed a memorable occasion and will, I am sure, be repeated at a later date. The coffee-morning for November is at 10.30am on the 6 th , at John and Linda Pollard’s house, Hawthorns, The Green, Ashbocking. Access is through Ashley Grange and our bungalow is at the end through the gates. There is plenty of parking and all are welcome. If you feel able to host a coffee-morning next year, please bring your diaries with you so that we can arrange the rota.

  • ( 228 ) ASH BUCKING. Ash Bocking Church, Hall
    ( 228 ) EXCURSION TO ASHBOCKING AND TUDENHAM. The excursion to Ash Booking and.Tudenham was 'arranged for Wednesday, August 6th, 1902. At the hour appointed for leaving Ipswich the rain was pouring down in torrents, so that it seemed highly probable that the programme would be abandoned. About a quarter of an hour later however, the sky cleared, there was a promise of fine weather, so the brake started at once on the route through Henley to Ash Booking Church,. where the Ipswich members found the contingent from Woodbridge had already arrived. The Vicar (Rev. M. B. Cowell) came forward with a very hearty welcome, and read the following paper :— ASH BUCKING. Ash Bocking Church, Hall; Vicarage' and School stand in the centre of an irregular triangle of slightly undulating stiff boulder clay land, an area of 1412605 acres by the ordnance map. The modern roads running round are mostly the parish boundaries. Ash Bocking is 15 miles from the sea coast at Hollesley Bay, 231 feet above the sea level, i.e., as high an elevation as anywhere in High Suffolk. The sharp wind, so frequently blowing from the coast, sometimes' leaves a saline deposit on the eastward windows of the Vicarage. Below the church the meadows are still known as the " Merefields." But now that the drainageof the country is less inaperfect towards Needham Market and. the River Gipping, Ash Bocking Church no longer. stands on its beach and waterside. through' the Plantagenet period, and earlier, it is said to have faced to, .the South of great " Mere," its mediEevai eXpanse of a hundred acres of water.
