Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter October 2019 Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter October 2019 Bishops Cannings Parish Council Newsletter, October 2019 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR It is heartening to see that at last, the environment is a subject that is being taken seriously. The Parish Council has received a newsletter from Wiltshire Council Highways department stating that they are keen to hear from any local community about how they think they can help improve rural highway verges for the benefit of wildlife and wild flowers. As a rural Parish you would expect us to have a good range of wildflowers already, but sadly this is not the case. Intensive farming methods and the continuous building of new roads has led to the loss of extensive areas of potentially wildlife-rich land. Some of our road verges are full of cow parsley in May, but this is a tough plant that can withstand being cut down and then smothered with chopped clippings. Many of our other wildflowers are more delicate and have disappeared entirely because they cannot withstand this treatment. There are many of us who like the well-kept look and object to leaving any area to grow long because it can look scruffy once the flowers have died back in the late summer. There are also places where it is necessary to cut the verges regularly to allow motorists to see clearly around bends and at junctions. However, it would benefit both us and our wildlife if we could just adjust our mindset and allow some places to ‘go wild’. This does not mean completely abandoning an area, but cutting it just once or twice a year and removing the clippings each time. If you can think of any areas in the Parish that Wiltshire Council mows regularly that would be suitable for establishing as a wildflower verge then please get in touch with the Parish Council by e-mailing: [email protected]. Wishing you the best in this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!

Honey bees, like other insects, are facing many challenges at this time. We are keen to tell Wiltshire residents about the vital role these insects play in the eco-system and hope to see you at the show. The Wiltshire Beekeepers have arranged an exciting day-long festival of all things associated with bees. As well as learning how to start your own hive on a budget, you can learn how bees make their honey and how they communicate with each other. Among those giving free lectures is local bee keeper, Richard Rickett, training officer for Melksham & District Beekeepers Association and Deputy Editor of one of the UK’s most popular bee magazines, Bee Craft. He will explain how to get into bee keeping, the trials, tribulations and excitement of harvesting your own honey and will answer questions on everything from the cost of setting up your own hive, to coping with bee stings. He will be joined by Lynfa Davis, a Master Beekeeper, who will describe how bees communicate and will also discuss the importance of honeycomb production. Another keynote speaker is Norman Carreck, a beekeeper for nearly 40 years and a research scientist at the University of Sussex. He will be talking about the future for local bees in Wiltshire and the rest of the UK. Wessex Water, the main sponsors of the show, will be explaining how visiting green spaces can help improve your health and wellbeing and the many ways to take part in, and enjoy, the beautiful sites across our region. There will also be goodies to encourage wildlife into your garden. Bishops Cannings Parish Council Newsletter, October 2019 8 They will be joined by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, Representatives of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, The Woodland Trust and the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust. Visitors can have hands-on experiences from candle rolling to exploring inside a virtual hive, and discover where and when they can find flora, fauna and open spaces in Wiltshire that are home to many varieties of insects.

  • Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter March 2020
    Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter March 2020 Bishops Cannings Parish Council Newsletter, March 2020 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR As I write this, we have just finished the second of our Neighbourhood Plan consultations. There was a fair turnout, so thank you to everyone who made the effort to attend. Every comment that was written down by residents will be transferred into a document that will be used to produce our strategic priorities or, in simpler words, a list of aims for the future benefit of the Parish. We already have some idea of what is lacking in our area, but your feedback has identified more. A wish for better access to footpaths in open countryside and to the sports facilities on Hopton Industrial Estate was a particular request from those of you living at Corn Croft and Lay Wood. By the time of the next newsletter, the Parish Council will have discussed the results and we will give a more detailed update then. Some months ago, the Parish Council had discussions with Wiltshire Council regarding the poor condition of the numerous play areas in their care. As explained previously, Wiltshire Council no longer undertakes repairs to play equipment; it is either removed or left with a barrier around it to prevent use. We were able to secure some funding from Wiltshire in return for an undertaking to take on responsibility for upkeep. A list of urgent repairs has been produced by the Parish Council and costed by the play area contractor. The work has been agreed and will take place at Richmond Close, Hopgood Close, Waterside Park, Cygnet Close, Anzio Road, Hillier Road and Le Marchant.

  • The Ancestry of Susannah Moore, My Great (X8
    The Ancestry of Susannah Moore, my Great (x8) Grandmother (born Susannah Drew in 1676 at Bishop's Cannings, Wiltshire) By Mark Wareham Last updated 20th January 2014 The information contained in these spreadsheets is gathered from several sources. I have tried to use recognised source material where it is available such as Visitation reports of the Harleian Society of the 16th and 17th centuries, wills, county histories or other reference books. There is some information from the internet such as Wikipedia Or some independent study and where that is the case I have tried to point that out as it is generally less reliable. For maternal ancestral branches refer to the worksheets arranged in alphabetical order according to family name.
