  • How Congresbury Has Grown
    How Congresbury has grown A report for Congresbury Parish Council Authors: Tom Leimdorfer, Stuart Sampson Publication June 2015 Updated January 2018 Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [1] Congresbury Key Figures Population 3497 Age breakdown Source: Census 2011, National Office for Statistics Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [2] Household properties 1475 Population and properties in Congresbury January 2018 [3] How Congresbury has changed over 100 years The population of Congresbury grew by just over 450 people between 1901 and 1961. During the 60’s the population of the village doubled as by 1971, the census showed 3397 people. This can be seen in diagram 1. Diagram 1 – Total population reported in Congresbury1 A large part of this growth was due to the action of Axbridge Rural District Council in the post-war years to build the Southlands council estate to ensure that local working people had homes in which they could afford to live. Even at that time, when a cottage in the old part of the village became vacant it fetched a price which local young couples could not raise. The Rev. Alex Cran’s history of Congresbury recounts the tensions of the time. Opposition to the Southlands estate came from those who wanted ‘infill’ amongst the rest of the village, but such a scheme would have been too expensive (p216 ‘The Story of Congresbury’). Bungalows in Well Park were partly aimed at persuading older residents to move to smaller houses from Southlands and vacate the larger dwellings for families. Many homes in Southlands Way, Southside and Well Park are now privately owned.

  • Dialect Words from North Somerset
    YYCCCCCCAARRTT The future of the past T DIALECT WORDS FROM NORTH SOMERSET July 2015 version 2 Author: Vince Russett Yatton, Congresbury, Claverham and Cleeve Archaeological Research Team Place and Feature Names in Somerset Dialect, Occasionally Used in YCCCART Reports This article is dedicated to the memory of my father, Des Russett (1930-2014), who inspired in me not only a deep and abiding love of the countryside, but also a continuous curiosity about the world and the universe. Abstract The point has been (well) made that occasional West Country dialect terms find their way into YCCCART reports (it can sometimes be difficult to entirely remove oneself from one's roots!). This glossary will try to convey some of the meanings. Many of the words are still in common use, and like most Old English terms (and the occasional Old Cornish ones), they have nuances of meaning that are probably unappreciated outside of agricultural circles. Many of the terms also give rise to place-names. Some plant names are included, but I have shied away from the complex (and potentially dangerous) field of fungi. These terms occur infrequently and in context, and thus this article will almost certainly be updated from time to time. SE = Standard English Obs = obsolete Acknowledgements This report has been assembled with the (unwitting) knowledge of many farmers in the Northmarsh (a substantial proportion of whom I seem to have been at school with!) and beyond. Particular help was also given by current and former staff of the Somerset Record Office, Dr Michael Costen, the late Mr Keith Gardner, the late Mr Brian Olsen and others too numerous to name, but to whom I am eternally grateful for my personal context in West Country society.

  • River Axe Biomass of Fish (All Species) 1991 Biomass (Gms/Square Metre) Iue 1 Figure
    NRA/SLFAC/92/14 FISHERY SURVEY OF THE RIVER AXE CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION This fishery survey of the River Axe was started in April 1991 and concluded in October 1991. The watercourses surveyed were the River Axe itself together with its major tributaries, namely the River Cheddar Yeo and the Hixham Rhyne. 2. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 The headwaters of the River Axe are actually on top of Mendip and enter swallet holes. The recognised source of the river is Wookey Hole, which is one of the main springs arising from the Mendip limestone. The river falls progressively for the first 2 kilometres and then divides artificially into two branches. The most southerly, known as the Lower River Axe is in fact higher following the contour line through several villages and historically feeding several mills with water. Burcott Mill has been restored and still functions as a water mill. The northerly branch runs through Wookey and creates two fords before reuniting with the southerly branch at the top of Vestbury Moor. 2.2 The Axe valley part of the Somerset Moors and Levels is underlain primarily by alluvial clay of freshwater, marine and brackish origin. Where the river crosses this alluvial valley it has been straightened and widened since 1800. In the early 19th century there was a major scheme which cut off numerous meanders. The Cheddar Yeo was also realigned at the same time. These alterations were so dramatic that what are now the lowest reaches of the Yeo were once part of the course of the Axe.

  • Breeding Birds of the Strawberry Line (Vale of Winscombe Section)
    BREEDING BIRDS OF THE STRAWBERRY LINE (VALE OF WINSCOMBE SECTION) By Dr. Lincoln Garland Introduction The Strawberry Line, or Cheddar Valley Railway Line, is a footpath/cycleway extending for 10 miles along a dismantled railway corridor between Yatton and Cheddar in North Somerset. It is deeply cherished by neighbouring communities and I am very fortunate to have lived alongside it for the last six years. Over this time, I have become increasingly familiar with its natural seasonal rhythms, including those of its birdlife, which are the subject of this article. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to make use of my permissible daily exercise to record the distribution of the breeding birds on my particular ‘patch’ of the Strawberry Line - the Vale of Winscombe section. This stretch of the Strawberry Line breaches the picturesque Mendip Hills between Sandford Station and Shute Shelve Tunnel, passing through the village of Winscombe halfway across (Figure 1). I was partly inspired into action by what I perceived to be a particularly high abundance of birdlife along the Strawberry Line in contrast with neighbouring relatively intensively managed farmland and even compared with some local Ancient woodlands, where birdsong often seems conspicuous by its absence. As a consequence of the lockdown and associated reduction in noise pollution, multiple media stories have described how the pace of life slowed for many people, who in turn became increasingly cognizant of their natural surroundings, and in particular of birdsong and the psychologically healing (biophilic) effect that nature’s soundscape can have. In telling the story of the Strawberry Line’s birdlife I hope that I can provide an added layer of interest for locals and visitors, which might also help in these difficult times deliver an enhanced dose of Vitamin N or Nature’s Fix, to borrow the biophilic terminology of Richard Louv (2017) and Florence Williams (2017) respectively.

  • Yatton Yesterday No. 8 1991
    YATTON E S T E R D A Y No: 8 ~ 1991 Yatton Local History Society Editorial Our front cover for 1991 depicts the Methodist Church in Yatton. Since we now have our bi-monthly meetings in the church hall, and have been made very welcome, we thought we would make this small tribute. As always, we are indebted to John Scally for the art work. Bob Young, though still a member, asked to be relieved of the position of President in which he has served us for four years. His help and advice to me as Chairman have been invaluable,as have his contributions to ‘Yatton Yesterday’; our grateful thanks, Bob. ‘A History of Yatton’, compiled by Marian Barraclough from research by Society members, is another milestone in the Society’s programme. Whilst not imposing on ‘Yatton Yesterday’, it provides a superb background to our individual researches. Books 1, 2 and 7 of ‘Yatton Yesterday’ have completely sold out; copies are available of 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our venture for 1992 will be to video the main events in the village during the year. Plans are at an early stage yet, but it is hoped to record Yatton’s history for posterity. Anyone interested in helping with this project please contact the Society. Our thanks are due once more to the local newsagents and Claverham Post Office for distributing ‘Yatton Yesterday’ free of charge. They have done this generously for seven years, and promise to help with this edition. Contributors from outside the Society continue to help us – our thanks to them.

Magnetic anomalies in the gradiometry survey suggest the possibility of brick burning in clamps, and the hypothesis is put forward that this was for the construction of The Brick House and its stables, garden walls and other features in North End, an anomalously early and large brick building for the area. Acknowledgements A Heritage Lottery Grant enabled the purchase, by YCCCART, of a Bartington Gradiometer 601 without which this survey could not have been undertaken. This survey would also not have been carried out without the willing permission of the landowner, Mr G. Burdge, and his agent, Mr F Malton. The authors are grateful for the hard work by the members of YCCCART in performing the surveys and Vince Russett for editing.

  • Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited
    Environment Agency permitting decisions Variation We have decided to issue the variation for Lag Farm Dairy operated by Yeo Valley Farms (Production) Limited. The variation number is EPR/NP3532SU/V005. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Description of the changes introduced by the Variation This is a Substantial Variation. The Lag Farm Dairy processes milk and milk powders to produce yogurt. The installation comprises a milk reception area, liquid ingredient tanks, Cleaning in Place (CIP) tanks, mix tanks, incubation tanks, a production hall, a cold store and despatch area. There is a kerosene fired boiler plant, refrigeration plant and an effluent treatment plant. Current production is 1,600 tonnes per week. The operator wishes to increase production over the coming years to try to capture further market share with a view to increasing profitability. This will be by 300 tonnes per week in February 2016, with further annual increases of 200 tonnes per week to a maximum total of 3,200 tonnes per week. This will be achieved by increased production throughput via existing processes with additional packing machines and incubation tanks. Whilst the operator can demonstrate that their operational techniques are designed to ensure resource, water, energy and waste efficiency, there will be an increase in the total volume of process effluent generated, which will exceed the currently permitted limit of 500 m3/day. The volume of effluent will rise incrementally as production levels increase, to a maximum of 960 m3/day.

Whether these villages are simply accidents of survival (and many villages once possessed both), or were marked out in some way in the medieval period, cannot at present be known. Acknowledgements Firstly, my thanks go to Linda Jenkins, who's pamphlet on the subject in 1991 should be far better known. Thanks to the people of Wick St Lawrence for their care of their two crosses: the village cross deserves to be better known.
