Stonehenge road tunnel

The Stonehenge road tunnel is a planned tunnel in Wiltshire, England drawn up by the Highways Agency to upgrade the A303 road. It would move the A303 into a tunnel under the Stonehenge World Heritage Site completing the removal of traffic begun with the closure of the A344 road. The wider project was designed to improve the landscape around the monument and to improve safety on the primary A303, and was part of proposals to change the site in other ways including moving the visitors centre.

Stonehenge Landscape

The Stonehenge Landscape is a property of The National Trust, located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. The estate covers 2,100 acres surrounding the neolithic monument of Stonehenge which is administered by English Heritage. Much of the land is designated open access by the Trust, including the fields immediately around Stonehenge and other fields that become available as part of the chalk grassland reversion project . Much of the land was acquired in 1927 after a public appeal was launched to prevent further development on the fields around the monument. The successfully purchased land was given to the Trust for the benefit of the nation. Shortly afterwards such structures as cottages and an old World War I aerodrome were removed from the immediate vicinity of the stones. There are two different memorials to fatal flying accidents in the area. Eustace Loraine and Staff Sergeant Wilson were killed in 1912 near to the new Stonehenge Visitors centre. Major Hewetson was killed in a flying accident near Fargo Wood in July 1913. Later the Trust acquired more land, principally after the purchase of an adjacent farm in the early 21st century. The land owned by the Trust comprises almost one third of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, and contains nearly 400 ancient monuments . These monuments include the enormous earthwork known as the Stonehenge Cursus, the Avenue, Woodhenge and Durrington Walls as well as numerous burial mounds known as barrows. The estate also includes some of the Nile Clumps, large clumps of trees on arable farmland, said to represent ship positions at the Battle of the Nile. This is said to form a large memorial to Nelson created by a local landowner after Nelson died. During the 1970s and 1980s the estate was the scene of the Stonehenge Free Festival. Damage to monuments such as the Cursus barrows was one of the reasons that the festival was banned in 1985. As part of the World Heritage Site Management Plan for Stonehenge, some 340 hectares of the land will revert to chalk grassland by 2011. The scheme will turn over much of the estate to permanent pasture, and allow for increased open access around the area. At present some 112 hectares have reverted, and along with the existing grassland are used as public open access as well as animal grazing.

Poultry Cross

The Poultry Cross is a market cross in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, marking the site of former markets. Constructed in the 14th century and modified in the 18th century it stands at the junction of Silver Street and Minster Street. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed structure. The Poultry Cross is the only one remaining of four market crosses that once stood in Salisbury. The others were the Cheese Cross in the present Cheesemarket area, Barnards Cross at the junction of Barnard Street and Culver Street and another which designated a market for wool and yarn at the east end of the present Market Place near the War Memorial. The presence of a market cross on the Poultry Cross site dates to 1307 and the name to about a century later. The present stone structure was built in the late 15th century. The original flying buttresses were removed in 1711, as can be seen in the painting of 1800 by JMW Turner; the present buttresses date from 1852–4, when the upper parts of the cross were rebuilt to the designs of the architect Owen Browne Carter. The present day site is used as part of Salisbury Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Avon Valley Path

The Avon Valley Path is a long-distance path in the English counties of Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset. The path takes its name from the River Avon.

It ends at Christchurch. The path is waymarked and can be walked in either direction. The path crosses the Clarendon Way and Castleman Trailway. It passes through the western edge of the New Forest. This route is shown as a series of coloured diamonds on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 maps.

Wren Hall

Wren Hall is a Grade I listed building in Salisbury Cathedral Close, Wiltshire. Situated on the west side of Choristers Green it was originally part of the attached Braybrook House. A rebuilding was commissioned and funded by Sir Stephen Fox, an alumnus of the Cathedral School, and carried out in 1714 by Thomas Naish, Clerk of Works to the Cathedral to provide a classroom and further dormitories for the cathedral choristers. It has little proven connection with Christopher Wren except that in its style it provides a suitable memorial to that great Wiltshire born architect. After the removal of the Choir School the College of Sarum St Michael acquired it for a short period until it became the diocesan archive repository. In the 1980`s it was used as the Salisbury Cathedral Spire Appeal office and in the past few years has become a Cathedral educational resource centre for school visits. The desks of the headmaster and assistant master remain at opposite ends of the room as a reminder of the original use as a single large classroom, or “Big School Room” as it was called, with the two classes sitting back to back. The attic contains some dormitories and there are original medieval cellars below the building.

Old Sarum Way

Old Sarum Way is a 32 mile long-distance footpath in Wiltshire, England that does a complete circle around Salisbury. The route uses existing public roads, public rights of way and some newly created permitted paths. Some sections of the footpath are waymarked by a metal plate attached to wooden posts which show a picture of the cathedral spire. This is the best guess of the route based on surviving waymarks: SU074337 head down the hill on the footpath, under the railway line then across the river into South Newton. SU088344 Climb the hill, passing the communication tower and crossing the A360. SU124353 Join the Monarchs Way. SU167337 Turn south. SU162329 Turn east into Old Malthouse Lane. SU170330 Turn south onto the bridleway; The path crosses the A30 and passes south on the hill above Laverstock. SU160297 Join the Clarendon Way. SU185302 Follow the footpath then the permissive path though Clarendon Estate. SU193280 Turn south and follow Clarendon Lane then Folly Lane. SU183268 Turn onto the bridleway and pass south of Whaddon to SU195261. Turn south following approximately the disused railway line SU194238 Turn west then join Witherington Road. SU189239 Turn onto the footpath through the woods and cross the river. SU176238 Join the Avon Valley Path northwards. SU129282 Turn left and head towards Salisbury Racecourse. Unfortunately the waymarks for the western section are missing. The most likely route is that the path crosses the A30 between Wilton and Burcombe then heads north into Grovely Wood.

St Paul's Church

St Paul's Church, Salisbury, is located on the north-west side of the city, next to St Paul's Roundabout and just a short walk from the city centre and Salisbury train station. It is an Anglican church.

Hemingsby House

Hemingsby House is a Grade I listed, 14th-century house in the north-west corner of the Salisbury Cathedral Close overlooking Choristers’ Green. It is an unusual building in that it was constructed as one house but is composed of two parts of different architectural styles giving the impression of two separate buildings. In modern times it has been altered to provide two separate houses. It is generally believed to have been built by Alexander de Hemyngsby in the 14th century, the first recorded warden of the Choristers’ School in 1322. Apart from a chapel constructed earlier and an extension of the 18th century most of the building was reconstructed in the middle of the 15th century by Nicholas Upton. He was succeeded by Thomas Fideon who completed the reconstruction and whose name appears on some architectural decorations in the house. Edward Powell lived at Hemyngsby in 1525, he served as counsel to Queen Catherine of Aragon at the hearing of Henry VIII divorce suit against her. Powell met with much disapproval from Henry VIII, after Catherine's death he was tried for treason in London and hanged, drawn and quartered at Smithfield. In 1547–1550 the house was occupied by the Reverend Simon Symonds who may have been the vicar of Bray in the well-known traditional folksong. The south part of the house, No 56B, was partly rebuilt in 1727 by Canon Joseph Sayer to replace a decaying previous extension. It has a prominent parapet with panels, even stone quoins on the front and an arched door surrounded by rusticated quoins with a semi-circular fanlight above it. There are four sash windows with stone keystones and four windows to the semi-basement. Stone steps lead up to the front door. The roof is hipped front to back and medieval stone has been used to construct the rear façade. No 56A has a pitched, tiled roof with two dormers, a brick, rubble stone and flint dressed façade with four windows. The north wall contains many tiles laid in herring-bone pattern. The porch has a gable decorated with carved stone shields and a round arch over the door. In 1840 the number of residentiary canons at the cathedral was reduced from six to four and Hemingsby ceased to be a canonry in 1848 on the death of the then resident, the Reverend Matthew Marsh.

Residential areas are located to the south and east, occupying the old airfield married quarters and officers' mess, now known as Throgmorton Hall. Industrial/business units occupy a large number of the World War I and World War II airfield buildings, as well as several large modern warehouses, office blocks and car showrooms, the development of which is continuing to the present day. Old Sarum is the best-preserved flying field of the World War I period. It is bounded by one of the most complete suites of technical and hangar buildings of the period. The site has three Grade II* listed hangars, a Grade II listed former workshop, and a Grade II listed TA Headquarters (former Station Headquarters). The airfield was designated as a conservation area by Salisbury District Council in February 2007. Current flying operations include a flying training school, a skydive centre, microlight schools, and privately owned aircraft.
