David Dobson 25 YEARS AGO STEEP VILLAGE HALL The Memorial Village Hall was built in the early 1920s in memory of the twenty -nine parishioners who fell in the First World War. The land was given to the parish by Bedales, and originally run by The Village Club, but then handed over by the Parish Council in the 1930s. History has it that the artist Stanley Spen- cer offered to paint a mural in the Hall but was turned down, as was a similar offer to Bedales. He moved instead to Burghclare near Newbury where his memorial chapel is now owned by the National Trust and is a place of pilgrimage for artists from all over the world. … Rollo Wicksteed Copyright.

The boundaries of this landscape type are defined by the extent of the virtually continuous drift deposit of clay with flints that caps the chalk. Integrated Key Characteristics: • Chalk overlain by shallow continuous clay capping resulting in poorer heavier soils. • Large tracts of elevated gently undulating countryside. • A predominantly pastoral farmland landscape with significant blocks of woodland.

"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window ").

  • The Parish of Froxfield Local Landscape Character Assessment 2011
    The Parish of Froxfield Local Landscape Character Assessment 2011 “A High Land of Clay and Flint” Edward Thomas Foreword In mid-2010 the Froxfield Parish Council (FPC) asked if a team of volunteers could be formed to produce a Local Landscape Character Assessment (LLCA) for the parish of Froxfield. Twenty local residents came forward to carry out this task and the project was launched at a meeting of the team on 16th September 2010. Representatives of the Froxfield Parish Council, East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) and Hampshire County Council (HCC) attended the meeting. A request from HCC for Froxfield‟s process, together with this LLCA document to be included as part of their project to develop a new HCC toolkit for use by any Hampshire parish, was approved. As most of the preparatory work had already been done, the field-work began straight away. Due to the size of the parish, it was divided into seven roughly similar sized areas with two or three team members allocated to each. Their task was to produce detailed reports on the landscapes within their areas. All teams had copies of the CPRE toolkit “Unlocking the landscape” to use with discretion to diverge from it, if they so wished. The field work also involved considerable contact and consultation with the residents of each area through meetings, interviews and by inviting comments on emerging reports at each stage of drafting. After acceptance by the full team in May 2011 the area reports were bound and are available if required as appendices 1 – 7 of this LLCA.
