  • Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • Roman Isle of Wight
    ROMAN WIGHT By Malcolm Lyne September 2006 1. A history of previous research Most of the early antiquarian research into Roman Wight, as in other parts of Britain, related to the excavation of villa houses. The earliest such excavation was that at Rock,Brighstone in 1831 (Kell 1856), followed by those at Carisbrooke (Spickernell 1859), Gurnard (Kell 1866) and Brading during the 1880s (Price and Price 1881 and 1900). Other villa sites were noted at Combley and Clatterford during the same period (Kell 1856). The published accounts of most of these excavations are somewhat deficient but, in the case of Gurnard, are supplemented by unpublished manuscript notes of further excavations carried out after publication of the earlier work in 1866. Just a few of the artefacts found at Carisbrooke and Gurnard still survive. The one exception to this sorry tale is Brading: the published accounts of the excavations carried out by Captain Thorp and the Price brothers is more informative than most for this period and most of the pottery and other finds are still extant. Other 19 th c. observations on the Island’s Roman archaeology are largely restricted to brief accounts of coin hoards from Farringford, Wroxall and Cliff Copse, Shanklin written up by Kell (1863). A further hoard found at Wootton in 1833 had to wait for more than 100 years before a reasonably-detailed account was produced (Sydenham 1943). The early years of the 20 th century saw little improvement in the quality of atchaeological activity relating to Roman Wight. Poorly-recorded excavations at Combley villa in 1910 (Sydenham 1945, 426-29) were, however, soon followed by the activities of Ambrose Sherwin as curator of Carisbrooke Castle museum during the 1920s and 30s.

  • SHEEP the Island's Wealth and Pride
    folkonwight Island Folk History Extracted from Cock & Bull Stories: Animals in Isle of Wight Folklore, Dialect and Cultural History (2008), by Alan Phillips SHEEP The Island's Wealth and Pride Courtesy of Island Foods Sheep were farmed in Britain from the Neolithic period, and a Late Iron Age occupation site at Gill's Cliff, Ventnor, revealed well distributed animal remains at all levels, including the bones and teeth of a sheep as well as ox and pig. Sheep were certainly of prime importance to the Isle of Wight economy from the earliest times, the Island in fact becoming noted for their excellence. By the later medieval period they roamed on the downs and commons belonging to the manors, whilst their owners who had rights of pasturage were known as 'commoners'. The shepherd would have followed his flock as it slowly moved along the downs and spent the night in a sheepcote or 'bercarie'. The manor farm of Rew possessed 138 'hoggets' (one-year-old sheep) and 200 lambs in the late 13th century, contrasting markedly from the nearby Bonchurch manor farm, which appears to have possessed no sheep but ten oxen. Wool was sold at 1s 11d. a clove of seven pounds at Bowcombe in 1317. The Abbey of Lyre's accounts for 1351–52 include some income from wool from Freshwater, Brook, Compton, Chessell, Wellow, Ningwood, Appuldurcombe and Wroxall. In 1400 Rowborough Farm had two hundred and fifty sheep in its flock; by 1560 Freshwater parish possessed common land for a total of 4,488 sheep. By this time sheep were producing dairy products as well as wool: "The milkyng of ewes is commodious and profitable to the owners, although troublesome and painfull to the servants.

  • Early Medieval Isle of Wight
    Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Isle of Wight: Early Medieval period Ruth Waller, August 2006 Inheritance: It seems likely that an ordered Roman landscape made up of rural villas estates and their lands preceded the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons on the Isle of Wight. Occupation of all of the Roman villas ceased by the early 5 th Century AD (Basford 1980). It is clear that at least two focuses of Roman estate activity at Carisbrooke and Brading continued to be significant in Saxon landuse and settlements at both continue to the present day. Nature of evidence Little archaeological evidence for this period had been found on the Island other than burial sites, until the recent contribution of metal detected remains through the Portable Antiquities Scheme and scientific analysis of the coastal zone at Wootton Quarr. With the cemeteries having been excavated in the 19 th Century and the last synthesis of evidence having been in the 1980’s (Arnold 1982), there is a real need for both systematic archaeological survey to identify and investigate Anglo-Saxon sites and a re-assessment in the light of the metal detected evidence The documentary evidence for the settlement of the Island in the early Anglo-Saxon period is confusing with Bede ascribing its conquest to the Jutes and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle suggesting that it was the responsibility of the West Saxons. The archaeological evidence consists of 71 entries on the County Sites and Monuments Record and over 200 other objects reported to the Isle of Wight Finds Liaison Officer through the Portable Antiquities Scheme and focuses on and to the south of the median chalk ridge, with the wooded clays to the north probably not being brought into cultivation until after the Norman Conquest (Basford 1980).

  • 6 Brighstone, Chale & Niton Itineraries
    BE A BRIGHSTONE, CHALE & NITON Experience sustainable transport 6 ITINERARIES It’s easy to explore the Isle of Wight using sustainable transport. Here are a few ideas for fun local days out – no car required! Everything’s better by bus. It’s more fun than a car, the kids don’t fi ght and BETTER BY BUS you get brilliant views. From Brighstone you can jump on the Southern Vectis route 12 bus and you’ll be in Freshwater in 20 minutes… so long as you don’t get stuck behind a tractor, which happens rather a lot around 1here! In Freshwater, go for a bracing walk up Tennyson Down, right up to the monument at the top. You’ll be rewarded by views over the iconic Needles. Head back the way you came, then get the route 7 bus to Yarmouth to check out the posh boutiques and restaurants. Or snap up a 24hr hop-on, hop-off bus ticket and explore the spectacular South on an Island Coaster. Stop offs include Isle of Wight Pearl where you can splurge on jewellery and a cream tea, and then go on to subtropical Ventnor with its Botanic Garden, and Shanklin old village. The Island Coaster bus will take you all the way to the golden sands of Ryde where you can pop into the Bus and Coach Museum (it’s free!). You’re never far from dinosaurs here. The Isle of Wight is known as DINO HUNT Dinosaur Island, as it’s the fossil capital of Europe. Rare species and whole skeletons have been found along the coast, sometimes by holidaymakers just messing about on the beach.
