Meadowlands in Time: Re-Envisioning the Lost Meadows of the Rother Valley, West Sussex, UK
Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Alastair W. Pearson 1 and Philip J. Soar 2 1 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] (corresponding author) +44(0)23 9284 2472 2 Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3HE, UK. [email protected] +44(0)23 9284 2482 1 Meadowlands in time: Re-envisioning the lost meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, UK Abstract Historically, meadows provided an essential crop of hay and common grazing in a delicately managed sustainable system in harmony with their environment and were of vital importance to the agricultural cycle of farming communities. Using archival and remotely sensed data, this paper provides a speculative re-construction of a former floodplain water management system and examines the changing fortunes of the floodplain meadows of the Rother valley, West Sussex, revealing the process of change in both the physical and cultural landscape. The inevitable decline of the floodplain meadows of the Rother was part of a nationwide transformation brought about by the introduction of new farming practices operating in a fast- changing tenurial landscape, dominated by th e growth of landed estates where commoners ’ rights were viewed with growing contempt. Today, the current vista of the Rother reveals only remnants of the past landscape where marginal habitats, riparian fringes and meadows have made way for a monoculture of permanent pasture of poor conservation value, supporting low biodiversity and offering little to mitigate against flood risk and poor water quality. -

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect. -

Midhurst Sense of Place
Midhurst Sense of Place Produced as part of the Midhurst Vision by the Sense of Place Working Group September 2009 Cover image courtesy of Michael Chevis www.michaelchevis.com Contents 5 Foreword 6 Introduction 9 Context 12 Sense of Place Aims 13 Sense of Place Process 15 Activity 17 Physical Setting 20 Meaning 23 Sense of Place Definition 26 Place Making 31 Place Reading 36 Place Marketing 38 Potential Actions and Projects 39 Next Steps 40 Summary 42 Acknowledgements 43 Appendix 44 Key Design Principles 50 Terms of Reference 5 Foreword Like may towns throughout the UK, Midhurst has a range of unique qualities. Yet as a result of social and economic change it faces competition from neighbouring destinations like Chichester, Petersfield, Haselmere and Guildford. Chichester District Council recognised this problem and through a series of projects (aimed at supporting the local economy), engaged with the community to help identify key areas of development and regeneration. Whilst residents may have strong emotional links to their town or village, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and reveal the innate qualities and character of a place to attract visitors and compete with other towns in their region. However, it may be difficult to express what defines a ‘place’, but it is important to do so, to ensure that any support given by way of physical improvement or economic development, is appropriate and does not lead to the loss of individuality and regional identity. Understanding that Midhurst’s future prosperity is dependent on finding a way to manage change whilst maintaining a genuine and authentic sense of place, it became clear that a process was required to capture and articulate these unique aspects to help develop plans for the future. -

FOREIGN INFLUENCES ON AND INNOVATION IN ENGLISH TOMB SCULPTURE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY by Nicola Jane Shilliam B.A. (Warwick) Ph.D. dissertation Warwick University History of Art September 1986 SUMMARY This study is an investigation of stylistic and iconographic innovation in English tomb sculpture from the accession of King Henry VIII through the first half of the sixteenth century, a period during which Tudor society and Tudor art were in transition as a result of greater interaction with continental Europe. The form of the tomb was moulded by contemporary cultural, temporal and spiritual innovations, as well as by the force of artistic personalities and the directives of patrons. Conversely, tomb sculpture is an inherently conservative art, and old traditions and practices were resistant to innovation. The early chapters examine different means of change as illustrated by a particular group of tombs. The most direct innovations were introduced by the royal tombs by Pietro Torrigiano in Westminster Abbey. The function of Italian merchants in England as intermediaries between Italian artists and English patrons is considered. Italian artists also introduced terracotta to England. -

Report To: Housing & City Support
Agenda Item 09 Report PC20/21-01 Report to Planning Committee Date 9 July 2020 By Director of Planning Local Authority Chichester District Council Application Number SDNP/20/01693/FUL Applicant Mr Mike Ruddock Application Construction of 12 treehouses to provide tourism accommodation across 2 woodland sites within the estate (5 x 1 bedroom units at Lodge Wood and 7 x 1 bedroom units at High Field Copse), access and parking, cycle storage, drainage and biodiversity enhancements and woodland management. Address Cowdray Park, A272 Easebourne St to Heath End Lane, Easebourne, West Sussex Recommendation: That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 10.1 of the report. Executive Summary The applicant seeks permission for the erection of 12 treehouses across two woodland sites within the Cowdray Estate to provide sustainable tourist accommodation within close proximity of Midhurst and public rights of way. The application follows the refusal of a previous scheme for 10 treehouses on one of the proposed sites (Lodge Wood) due to the size and scale of development and the harm deriving from the imposition of a suburban form of development on the historic woodland character; and associated impacts on biodiversity and priority habitat (see committee report and meeting minutes appended at Appendices 2 and 3). The current scheme has been subject to collaborative working between the applicant’s design team and specialist officers and as a result is considered to be a fully landscape-led proposal. The scheme would conserve and enhance the unique heritage, woodland and ecological character of each site, whilst also accruing significant benefits that would align with the Second Purpose and Duty of the National Park, including the provision of tourist accommodation, opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the National Park’s special qualities, and benefitting the local economy. -

Chichester District Council THE COUNCIL 24 July 2018 Selsey and Midhurst Visions 1. Contacts Report Author: Tania Murphy – Divisional Manager Place Telephone: 01243 534701 E-mail: [email protected] Cabinet Member: Tony Dignum – Leader of the Council Telephone: 01243 538585 E-mail: [email protected] 2. Recommendation That the Council approves the release of £23,000 from general fund reserves to support the Selsey and Midhurst Vision projects and approves the Project Initiation Documents attached to this agenda report. 3. Background 3.1 The Cabinet agreed in January 2018, as part of the revised Corporate Plan for the authority, to approve a number of projects for development. Two of these projects were the Midhurst and Selsey Visions. 3.2 Initial Project Proposal Documents for both Visions were considered at the Cabinet meeting in January. Since this time further work has been undertaken to progress the visions, including the production of the Project Initiation Document (PID) (see Appendices 1 and 2) for each of the Visions. The PIDs set out in more detail how the anticipated budget of £10,500 and £12,500 for Selsey and Midhurst respectively will be allocated. 3.3 In order to authorise the budgets for these projects and to ensure that works can progress over the summer months for both Visions, it is requested that the Council approves the funds of £10,500 for Selsey and £12,500 for Midhurst. Ordinarily PIDs and funding of up to £100,000 would be approved by Cabinet. However, as the Cabinet does not meet again until September, the Council is asked to approve these PIDs and the necessary funding under the urgency provision in the constitution, so as to enable work to progress over the summer. -

FFOULKES, B.Litt.Oxon, F.S.A. CURATOR OF THE ARMOURIES n> Volume I. r LONDON Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office Book Plate of the Record Office in the Tower by J. MYNDE circa 1760 To The King's Most Excellent Majesty SIRE, laying this History and Inventory of the Armouries of the Tower INof London before Your Majesty, I cannot but feel that, in a work of this nature, it would be unfitting that I should take credit for more than the compilation and collation of a large amount of work done by others in the past. In tracing the changes that have taken place from the time when the Tower was a Storehouse of Military Equipment up to the present day, when it is the resting place of a Collection of Royal and Historical Armours many of which are without equal in Europe, I have availed myself of the National Records and also of the generous assistance of living authorities who have made a special study of the several subjects which are dealt with in these pages. I therefore ask Your Majesty's gracious permission to acknowledge here my indebtedness and gratitude to my predecessor Viscount Dillon, first Curator of the Armouries, who has unreservedly placed at my disposal the vast amount of notes, photographs, and researches, which he had collected during over twenty years of office.
