Plain MINOR METHODS 3RD EDITION Central Council of Church Bell Ringers 2008 plain MINOR METHODS 3RD EDITION Central Council of Church Bell Ringers 2008 a complete collection in place notation . ISBN 978-0-900271-22-9 Produced for the Central Council by Philip Green Publications A Central Council publication CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS ––––––––––––––––– Methods Committee COLLECTION OF PLAIN MINOR METHODS ISBN 978-0-900271-22-9 ––––––––––––––––– THIRD EDITION ––––––––––––––––– 2008 INTRODUCTION This collection contains details of all the possible symmetric Bob and Place Minor methods with five leads in the plain course. It includes methods with bells making more than two consecutive blows in the same position, as well as methods which have appeared in the Collection of Minor Methods. The collection comprises a table of the place notations of all the methods, with the methods numbered in sequence from 1 to 1778, an alphabetical index and an appendix showing the correspondence between the method numbers appearing in the Collection of Minor Methods prior to the 6th edition and those in this collection. Each row incorporates place notation up to and including the half lead place and the lead end produced (treble’s handstroke row). The three columns to the left of the notation indicate which methods (if any) result from making, respectively, seconds, fourths or sixths place when the treble leads its whole pull, producing the next lead head. Where no name is given, a valid method is produced, but it has not yet been rung or named. Where the symbol “--” appears, this indicates that no valid method is produced. Where the symbol “**” appears in the fourths place lead head column, either on its own or following a name, this means that the method produced by making fourths place at the treble’s lead consists of bob leads of the corresponding seconds and/or sixths place method. Each method (including those marked “**”) is allocated a number, although only the first number associated with each notation appears at the start of the row of the table. All methods have the classification Bob, with the exception of those specified as Place. Unnamed Place methods have their classification in parentheses. Unnamed Single and Double methods have these prefixes in parentheses with the number of the corresponding Double or Single method. Unrung methods whose names are already established have their names in parentheses. Suitable compositions appear in the Collection of Minor Methods, 6th edition, 1984. So far as possible, index entries include the method number appearing in the Collection of Minor Methods prior to the 6th edition in bold type or a Ringing World reference of the form year/page. The index also contains a number of other names that have been used in the past for some of these methods. These names are included in italics for record purposes. A. P. SMITH R. BAILEY P. J.

  • STRATEGIC STONE STUDY a Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire
    STRATEGIC STONE STUDY A Building Stone Atlas of Lancashire Published December 2011 Derived from BGS digital geological mapping at 1:625,000 scale, British Geological Survey © Lancashire Bedrock Geology NERC. All rights reserved Click on this link to visit Lancashire’s geology and its contribution to known building stones, stone structures and building stone quarries (Opens in new window http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/buildingstone?County=Lancashire ) Lancashire Strategic Stone Study 1 Introduction The bedrock geology of Lancashire is dominated by fine to very coarse-grained SANDSTONES of Carboniferous and, to a lesser extent, Permo-Triassic age. There are, in addition, locally important outcrops of LIMESTONE. The Carboniferous rocks occupy a broad swathe of the east of the county, wrapping around a Triassic ‘core’ in the lowlands of the west, which is largely buried under thick accumulations of glacial till (Quaternary). The competence of the Carboniferous sandstones is reflected in the rugged moorland of east Lancashire, which in turn is reflected in the ‘sturdy’ character of the built landscape. The limestones present in northern Lancashire and around Clitheroe bring a lighter ‘openness’ to the villages of these areas. Lowland Lancashire, meanwhile, is primarily brick country, with the exception of some Triassic sandstone pockets around Ormskirk and Heysham. The widespread availability of durable building stone led to the development of quarrying throughout central and eastern Lancashire, with Rossendale (during the 1870s) exporting vast amounts of building stone to other areas of Britain and also abroad. Only a small number of quarries produce building stone today, with most of the industry now focussing on the supply of crushed stone products.

  • Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2014 – 2019 (Final Draft)
    Forest of Bowland AONB Management Plan 2014-19 (Final Draft) Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2014 – 2019 (Final Draft) Prepared by the Forest of Bowland AONB Partnership, February 2014 1 Forest of Bowland AONB Management Plan 2014-19 (Final Draft) MINISTERIAL FOREWORD Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) are some of our finest landscapes. They are cherished by residents and visitors alike and allow millions of people from all walks of life to understand and connect with nature. I am pleased to see that this management plan demonstrates how AONB Partnerships can continue to protect these precious environments despite the significant challenges they face. With a changing climate, the increasing demands of a growing population and in difficult economic times, I believe AONBs represent just the sort of community-driven, collaborative approach needed to ensure our natural environment is maintained for generations to come. AONB Partnerships have been the architects of a landscape-scale approach to land management. This approach is a key feature of the Government‟s Natural Environment White Paper and emphasises the need to manage ecosystems in an integrated fashion, linking goals on wildlife, water, soil and landscape, and working at a scale that respects natural systems. This management plan also makes the important connection between people and nature. I am pleased to hear that local communities have been central to the development of the plan, and will be at the heart of its delivery. From volunteers on nature conservation projects, to businesses working to promote sustainable tourism, it‟s great to hear of the enthusiasm and commitment of the local people who hold their AONBs so dear.

  • 34. Bowland Fells Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 34. Bowland Fells Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 34. Bowland Fells Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape North 3 North Convention, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas East (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, Yorkshire making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
