Avebury Manor and Garden added to National Trust in South West by clinkadink on 05/02/2022

TOAL was from the bridge over the River Kennet to the West of the manor gardens about 80m away, outside of the NT boundary.

King Henry I gifted lands that included the site of the present Avebury Manor to William de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy and England and a close adviser to the king.

In 1114, William de Tancarville, bequeathed this land to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Georges de Boscherville near Rouen which created an English cell at Avebury and a Priory was established shortly thereafter. This was known as an ‘alien priory’ as it was controlled by the French abbot from the Abbey near Rouen.

The monks were granted freedom from the shire by Henry I and this continued under Henry II and Richard I; they were also granted permission to create a chapel in the Manor House at Avebury.

Interestingly the Benedictines never controlled the advowson (ie. the right to put forward a person as parish priest) of the Parish Church of St James which belonged to Cirencester Abbey and this created ongoing tension between the two Abbeys.

Avebury was eventually sold in 1411 to Fotheringhay College which held the lands until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-16th century under Henry VIII.

It’s thought that the current Avebury Manor is built either on or very close to the original priory structure.

Blackhills Waterfall - Eas a' Bhradain (By AlbionDrones)

A wet and blustery final day on Skye, afforded us a brief window in the weather to make a short flight at the changeable Blackhills Waterfall...

The falls are just off the main road - take care crossing the road if you wish to talk to them - and almost opposite a parking space - which gets busy!

Not huge, but good if it has been raining...

Two Barroes, Exmoor (By Howard)

Two Barrows is a site on the West Somerset / North Devon border that contains a number of Bronze Age burial mounds. Only one barrow is prominent today, though the official record assigns four barrows to the location. The site itself is part of a larger 'Principal Archaeological Landscape: Setta Barrow, Five Barrows and Two Barrows complex' (no 8 in the Exmoor list of these PALs).

Sinfin Moor Park, Derby (By D0c.Col)

The Park has a wide open space with plenty of parking. The whole area consists of 34 hectares including a playing field with 6 football pitches and 2 cricket pitches, a BMX track and a play area with a range of equipment for children of all ages. The nature conservation area has more than a hundred species of wildflowers and its ponds, meadows, woodland and hedgerows provide habitats for a variety of birds, invertebrates, amphibians and mammals. All these are well away from the park playing area so should not have any issues flying there.

The Friends of the Park volunteers run a community café at the Pavilion, as well as other activities for the community and to help wildlife.

@JockyB organised an East Midlands Meetup there in 2024 and eberyone had a great time.
