Abstract: |
An assessment to the level of a National Trust Level 3 Landscape Survey was carried out. The historic character of each property differed. The Tresuck property was dominated by valley rough ground and valley-bottom pasture. This was gradually being replaced by woodland, already covering a garden system of terraces cut in the 19th century. The path of two leats also cut through the property. Peter's Wood was dominated by ancient semi-natural woodland, used as a coppice and the site of a Minster church. This was shown to have been a Christian site since the early medieval period. The Newmill property was an amalgamation of three post-medieval smallholdings created in the valley bottom. The mill site that gave the settlement its name survived as a ruined building and required further archaeological and consolidation work. The Valency Valley was devastated by flooding in August 2004 and many of the management recommendations focussed on features affected along the river corridor. [Au(abr)] |
