Do you know where this milestone is located?
This milestone is a relic from the days of the Bath Turnpike which passed through our villages. The turnpike entered the Parish in the south at White Cross Farm on the A37 and turned right at White Cross. Here you would probably have had to pay a toll at Turnpike Cottage to go any further; the size of the toll would depend upon the size of your cart, wagon or carriage and the load it carried. The Bath Turnpike followed the existing route of the A39 through Hallatrow, except that it passed behind the triangle and rejoined the A39 at the bridge over the Cam Brook. It continued along the A39 through High Littleton, then went up Scumbrum Lane rejoining the A39 at Cross Ways, Kingwell. This was before New Road was constructed in the 1820s providing a more direct and level route.
According to G.P. Master’s Bath Turnpike Map of 1827 this milestone, indicating 10 miles to Bath, should be located near the top of Scumbrum Lane! Why is it located in its present position and what are the implications? Here follows a short history of turnpikes.
At the beginning of the 1700s Parliament became concerned with the increasing costs of transportation caused by our rapidly deteriorating roads. They were likely to be rutted and muddy tracks, worse in winter but not much better in summer. This was over 100 years before John MacAdam’s method of road construction was available (consisting of rocks interspersed with small chips together with slag and gravel providing an improved surface and drainage.) In 1706 the concept of the Turnpike Trust was enacted by Parliament which allowed the trustees, usually local businessmen, to charge a toll in exchange for maintaining and improving a particular stretch of road. Improvements consisted of filling in dips, building bridges over fords and generally making the roads more ‘friendly’ for vehicles of the time.
The initial turnpikes were in and around London and, between 1751 and 1771, 870 trusts were created and by 1830 this number had risen to 1100. This growth was mainly in the Midlands and the North of England and not surprisingly coincided with the Industrial Revolution. According to the records some of these trusts ‘ had their hands in the till’ resulting in the Turnpike Act of 1822 requiring trusts to keep accounts. This raises another question: why was keeping accounts not a condition of a turnpike trust at their inception in 1706? Nearly all our ‘A’ roads and many others were once turnpikes where the traveller paid tolls for their use.
A more detailed account of the Bath Turnpike in this Parish can be found in ‘High Littleton and Hallatrow’, A Pictorial History, by Michael Browning and Keith Trivett, published by the Parish Council. Copies of this book may be obtained from the Clerk to the Council, price £6.50.

A recent daytime programme demonstrated how easy it is to burgle a house. What is perhaps more remarkable is that the burglar was caught red handed by a neighbour, who then accepted his word that he was helping the owners of the house move some furniture even though he was wearing black leather gloves on a warm day!!
Most peoples’ natural instinct is to show warmth and kindness when somebody knocks at the door. Would you take pity on a small child who wanted to use the bathroom? Most likely you would, but whilst his mum attempts to interest you in some plants she has for sale, he is helping himself to extra pocket money.
Similarly, if a professionally dressed businesswoman knocked on your door in obvious distress, asking to use your telephone, explaining that her car had broken down, would you oblige? I suppose you would think that she was generous to leave you £1 for the call? Yet, this call to her ‘husband’ had just cost you £150.

The above are actual incidents.
Each month the Neighbourhood Watch provides the Parish council with an update on incidents in the Parish and the surrounding area. What is alarming is the increase in ‘distraction’ type crime such as the above. People will dream up any sort of reason to enter your home and rob you of your valuables.
Garages and sheds have also been targeted. Remember to keep your doors locked when you are in the garden. The opportunist burglar loves an un-alarmed and unlocked house.
These incidents are isolated and there is no need to live in fear. If we are vigilant and careful we can limit the success of the trickster. If you see anything suspicious, do not hesitate to contact the police on 0845 456 7000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

We are holding a meeting on Sunday 26th June at the Recreation Club at 11.30 a.m. as we need your help and we hope as many people as possible will come along
We want to develop the ‘Tump’ – the grassy bit at the end of the Recreation Ground between the childrens’ play area and Timsbury Road. We would like to make it into a Multi-Use Games Area for use by the village community. A project of this kind would cost around £100,000 to put in place. There are grants available, but to obtain them requires much research and persistence. Our committee is too small to do it alone and that’s where you come in. We are holding the meeting firstly to find out whether there is support in the village for the idea, and secondly, if there is, to ask for volunteers to help with the project.
We have already spoken to Richard Bullard, Head teacher of our village school, and he can see the benefits of a Multi-Use Play Area. It would mean the school children could use the Rec for sport throughout the year rather than just when the weather is good enough and the pitch is not too wet. We are also contacting youth organisations in the village to get their views. In addition, the whole idea would support the B&NES targets of stopping obesity and increasing activities for the young, as well as tying in with the Government’s health campaigns.
If you have ideas about other ways this project could be useful please do let us know. You can contact John Wiles on 07709 471 414. He will be delighted to hear from you
A project of this size would need to be a village-based venture, both in raising sufficient funds and having enough enthusiastic people who are prepared to be actively involved. Even if you feel you could only give a small amount of time but would like to find out more, please come along to the meeting. Bring your ideas with you and who knows what we might achieve! We look forward to seeing you there.
Finally a big THANK YOU to Paul Munroe for running in the Bath Half Marathon on behalf of the Recreation Ground. A total of £480 was pledged towards our funds. And another big thank you to everyone who supported us by sponsoring him.
John and Rosie Shears, Committee members

This year the annual Garden Fete is to be held by kind permission of Ruth and Leslie Kew at The Court, Hallatrow in aid of “The Forever Friends Appeal”. This charitable appeal is in aid of the Royal United Hospital, Bath who to date have raised over £5,000,000 and have a target of £10,000,000 to achieve. We hope that you will all support us to play our small part to help them to reach their goal.
The Fete will have all the usual stalls and entertainment, skittles for the men, cake stall for the ladies and fancy dress for the children, amongst many other attractions. There is a most valuable draw with the lucky winner taking a group of six to Centre Parcs for a long weekend or a midweek break. The Fete is to be opened at 2.30 p.m. by “Big Ted”.
Please come and support a most worthwhile cause and enjoy the day.

You will not have missed the recent activity in both villages. The High Littleton works are part of B&NES response to the Government’s “Safer Routes to School” programme. The safety principle involved is to make the school’s location more apparent to motorists by concentrating all school related activity (children crossing, signage, etc.) in its immediate vicinity.
Hallatrow is facing a series of threats requiring traffic calming. The anticipated straightening of the A39 near the Old Station Inn will otherwise result in higher traffic speeds. 217 new dwellings are to be built in Paulton (say 2 cars each). A proposed width restriction at Camerton would direct heavier vehicles to travel between Radstock and Keynsham via Hallatrow. And there are periodic threats of Polestar developments which no doubt would increase traffic. The traffic calming put in place has the added merit of extending the footway through the village and forms part of the Parish Council’s “Safer Walking” scheme.

Holy Trinity Church - Here to Stay!
This may be contrary to rumour, but the church isn’t closing down, neither is it being “taken over”. What is actually happening is much less dramatic. The three Anglican churches of Paulton, Farrington Gurney and High Littleton have formed a group ministry, known as Trinity Fields.
What this means in the foreseeable future is that the three churches can share resources and benefit from each other’s activities whilst maintaining their own individuality and identity. In the longer term the three churches will share one priest and there will eventually be some shared services, but with the availability of lay readers, in particular our own Nikki Bland, services will continue to be held in our own church each Sunday.
It may not be generally known that the church has to raise a substantial sum of money every year for its own upkeep and this is managed through regular giving by its membership and by fund raising social events. During the remainder of the year there are several exciting events taking place on the social calendar and the good news is you don’t have to be a church member to take part.
The first of these will be on 9th October when the Harvest Supper is to be held. This is always a popular evening and excellent value for money. Shortly after, on 30th October there will be a concert in church, performed by Cameo Orchestra. This will be a long awaited return visit and, based on their previous performance, promises to be a splendid evening of “Classical Pop” entertainment. Tickets for these events will be available in September from the churchwardens Vicki Maule and Marilyn Smart on 472247 and 472249 respectively or form Hallatrow Post Office.
On 4th December a Candle Lit Supper with a Christmas theme will be held to round off the year. Tickets will be available in November as above. At both suppers there will be a licensed bar. At the concert, wine will be served during the intermission.
Make a note in your diaries and you will have a great time!

Do you enjoy a stroll in the countryside? Those with dogs probably feel very fortunate that there are a considerable number of local footpaths to choose from and like myself may have given them names for the sake of identification. For me there is the ‘Church Walk’, the ‘Goat Walk’ and the ‘Diagonal Field Walk’ to name but a few. Bath and North East Somerset have a more formal way of identifying the footpaths or Public Rights of Way in order to maintain them properly. They use numerical codes.
But how many walkers are aware that ‘The Limestone Link’ runs through our Parish? This is a challenging 36 mile way-marked route, joining the Cotswold Way to the West Mendip Way, utilising part of the Kennet and Avon Canal. It proceeds through Dunkerton, Camerton and Hallatrow.
The Limestone Link runs north-westwards through Hallatrow towards High Littleton, but shortly after the bridge over the Cam the route turns right to gain a footpath that runs between residential houses. It enters a pasture, then after 100 metres it swings left to cross the abandoned Cam Valley Railway line. Thereafter the path runs parallel to the abandoned track bed on its north side. The old rail bed has the status of a permissive path (i.e. it is not a legal right of way but the landowner allows access). Both the path and the rail bed run through light tree cover and mixed farmland as far as Goosard Bridge.
At Goosard Bridge the path runs slightly left to a flight of stone steps leading up to the road (see photograph). These originally formed the pedestrian access to Paulton Halt. The route turns right at the bridge and after a couple of hundred metres leads into the drive to the water works facility. Just before the works the path turns left and is hemmed in by hedges. After a short distance this path disgorges into pasture. For the next mile the Limestone Link follows the valley of Cam Brook to the tiny locality of Radford.
If you enjoy rambling, take a look at the website www.Walking-Routes.co.uk which contains links to over 600 websites with detailed directions, maps and descriptions of an estimated 3000 walks throughout the UK; some of which are in and around our Parish.

The last Newsletter gave details of the Parish Council’s ambitions for improving pedestrian safety and convenience in High Littleton. Hallatrow has even worse problems at present, as anyone who has walked the road between the Post Office and White Cross well knows. There is a good bus route to Bristol along the A37 and the Council would like to see access to this route made easier and safer.
Some targets have already been achieved: both the completion of the footway to Paulton and the white-lining to safeguard pedestrians outside the last three houses on the left as one takes the Paulton Road.
The footway to Paulton does entail crossing the road, but a major improvement has been achieved, nonetheless. It is anticipated that a pedestrian refuge will be installed at the centre of Wells Road by the Triangle. This will improve sight lines for pedestrians crossing towards the north.
On Wells Road itself the footway problem has several components:
Achieving these goals will depend largely on opportunities being taken as they arise, particularly planning consents for larger projects in the area. The Parish Council can sometimes achieve smaller tasks from its own resources, but the main burdens fall on B&NES’ budgets, so we know it will take time.
The ‘Safer Walking’ document includes proposals for certain other points in the Parish which will be included in a future Newsletter.

The High Littleton ‘Friends and Neighbours’ was established on the 16th February 1959. This year we have a membership of 41. Our meetings are held monthly in the Royal British Legion and aim to bring elderly people (many of whom live alone) together for friendship and company. We are entertained by choirs, speakers, slides, singers, poets, quiz master and many other diversions, with an occasional Bingo as well, not forgetting a cup of tea and biscuit and a raffle. There is no age limit and we are pleased to welcome new members.
A monthly outing is also arranged, which members enjoy very much. So far this year we’ve been to the New Inn, Farmborough for a New Year’s Pensioners Meal; Portishead, Clevedon and Weston super Mare: Stratford upon Avon: Weymouth; Swanage and Bournemouth. These outings are also open to non-members.
Arrangements for the remainder of the year include various entertainments at our meetings, outings to Sidmouth and to Weston super Mare, a Harvest Service and Sale of Produce with Rev. Mandy Stevens on 29th September and a Carol Service on December 8th with, we hope, Rev. Susan Trickett.

Once again the weather was favourable and everybody had a wonderful time. ‘Kick-off’ was at 12 noon with the hard fought junior five-a-side football competition, won by the home team. At the same time enthusiastic ‘car booters’ were setting out their varied stalls.
Many thanks are due to Prebendary Susan Trickett who performed the official opening at 2 pm, with aplomb. There was a wealth of things to see and do: stirring music from the Midsomer Norton and Radstock Silver Band and a super demonstration from the Stardust Majorettes who clearly enjoyed themselves. The High Littleton Tae Kwan-do team gave a disciplined display of their skills and, as usual, Paulton Fire Brigade was on hand with advice and an effective demonstration of how to extinguish a chip pan fire. The Punch and Judy Show had large groups of younger children entranced, while the adults had time to sample the teas and scrumptious home made cakes provided by the combined churches.
Surrounding all these main events were a wide variety of side shows: skittles, coconut shy, swing boats, bouncy castle, test your strength, fairground organ, and rides on mini-quad bikes, a donkey or a pony cart. The face painters skilfully transformed children into their ‘dream character’ while everyone could appreciate the arts and crafts exhibitions and the wonderful photographs shown by the Midsomer Norton Photographic Society. The raffle was well supported; the two major prizes were a local flight in a light aircraft and £100 cash.
For those feeling peckish the cubs and scouts were ‘prepared’ and provided tasty barbecue fare. They were happy to keep busy cooking, as the profits make a major contribution to their funds.
Those who stayed in the evening were lucky enough to see a balloon taking-off, whilst they were entertained by Kim’s Roadshow. The splendid day was brought to a dazzling climax with a firework display by Pyromagic, which was synchronised with another at Paulton for added impact.
The Village Day committee would like to thank all those who helped in any way to make the day such a success, especially those who ‘set up’ and ‘took down’ on the day. If you are interested in helping to make next year’s event (Saturday 27th August) an even greater success, why not ring Kim on 471 514 and join this very active committee.

Did you know that in the Parish of High Littleton (and Hallatrow) we have 471 hedgerows that act as field boundaries, including a few newly planted by caring landowners? The physical surveying of the last of these was completed in August. It is sometimes quite difficult to find suitable weather conditions to carry these out; high winds whip away maps, intense heat is very tiring, rain makes note taking impossible and boggy fields are a nightmare.
How lucky we are to have so many fine hedges! In spring the fresh new leaves in every shade of green, hazel catkins, sloe and hawthorn blossom are welcome after a dreary winter, and the hedges and trees are already providing nesting sites for many small birds, insects and mammals. By summer the hedges are thick and strongly growing making habitat and corridors along which wildlife can move safely. They delight us with more blossom and scent: elder, rose and honeysuckle for example. In autumn further riches are revealed: acorns, beechmast, hazel nuts, red rose hips, haws, holly and bryony berries, purple sloes and juicy elder and blackberries, all food for the wildlife that makes our countryside so diverse and interesting.
In winter most hedges are managed to keep them under control, ideally by traditional hedge-laying. This is labour intensive, but makes a dense stock-proof hedge and small trees can be allowed to grow above the hedge-line to mature. Alternatively, hedges are cut mechanically. This can work well, but sometimes means there are no mature trees in a hedge. However, if the cutter were lifted from time to time to allow saplings to mature, this would ensure a new generation of maturing trees to replace older ones that eventually die.
To hear more about the Field Boundaries Project, its importance and achievements in the community, come and hear an illustrated talk by Sally Pattison, the Field Boundaries Project Officer (see photo) on Monday 10th January at 7 pm at the Royal British Legion, High Littleton.

The Community Speedwatch Scheme for our villages is now up and running. Following full consultation with Avon and Somerset Constabulary and our Community police officer, various locations in High Littleton and Hallatrow have been risk assessed and approved by the police as being safe and suitable for use by our speedwatch team.
Speeding is a major factor in preventing people from enjoying their environment; it is a real ‘quality of life’ issue. The speedwatch scheme is an excellent opportunity for active members of our community to help address speed related offending in a responsible and constructive manner. Special signs are soon to be put in place at the entrances to the villages to warn that the scheme is in operation. The teams have already been in action, and the presence of two people in reflective yellow jackets, armed with the speed monitoring equipment, has had an immediate and tangible effect in reducing traffic speed. Like any such scheme, its enduring success is entirely dependant on volunteers to help, so please do contact Nicholas Pearson, Community Speedwatch Co-ordinator, on 470481 if you would like to know more, or to be actively involved. Lets work together to make our villages safer.

The last two editions of the Newsletter have given details of those changes to footways, carriageways and signage that the Parish Council believe will increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists along the main A39 artery. These are long term ambitions; the cost factor means that most must wait until an opportunity such as a major development might make funds available. It is important, however, that when such opportunities arise, the Council knows precisely what it wishes to achieve.
Further improvements sought in High Littleton:-

What does it mean to be a Parish Councillor?
Our 9 Parish Councillors work to protect and further the interests of the 2987 residents of our parish. They represent no political parties and they are not paid – indeed they voted not to pay themselves for attending meetings following recent legislation which would permit it. They are simply volunteers who are willing to serve and hope to influence decisions which affect the community.
Councillors must be over 21 years of age, live or work in the parish and be a British, Commonwealth or EU citizen. They stand for election every four years; if there are insufficient councillors, or a vacancy arises, the council may co-opt further councillors.
Parish Councillors are involved in planning, highways, traffic, community safety, street lighting and cleaning, allotments, rights of way, bus shelters and the various matters (sometimes contentious) which arise from time to time. These matters are discussed and decided once a month at the Council Meeting which is held at the Royal British Legion and is open to the public.
The operations and powers of parish councils are stipulated in government legislation. These guide councillors as they endeavour to improve the quality of parish life. The work can be challenging and exiting; it can also be frustrating. But when something has been achieved in the interests of the community, the personal satisfaction can be great.

Issue 10,
High Littleton CEVC Primary School has been in the news lately and for the right reasons. The school topped the league tables in B&NES with every child achieving a Level 4 or above in English, Maths and Science in the National Key Stage 2 SATs in 2004, and in terms of ‘Value added’ the school was in the top 5% of schools in the country. However the TV and radio coverage focused on the fact that the school was the 6th most improved in the whole country over the last three years in terms of SATs results, a remarkable achievement.
This recognition has put a spring in the step of everyone at the school and the whole village in general, but it’s not just test results that make the school a successful one. It is a thriving and exciting place for children to learn with a broad and balanced curriculum. In a small village primary the staff have the advantage of knowing all the children very well, and there is a very strong supportive ethos throughout the school. There is a wonderful play area built with the support of the PTA, parents and the Parish Council. Extra-curricular activities are a strong feature of the school with football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, tennis, singing, art, cookery, environment and fun and games clubs taking place. As well as holding the Investor in People standard, the school has the highest level Healthy Schools Award and actively promotes a healthy lifestyle, including an annual Health Week. There is a wide range of out of school visits, which include an annual residential trip for the older children.
The school is supported by the local playgroup, which recently had an excellent Ofsted evaluation. Close links with the community are also important; the Senior Citizen’s Party, the Remembrance Service and regular services at Holy Trinity are all fixtures in the calendar and efforts to reduce traffic and parking congestion have been made though the introduction of the Walking Bus from Rotcombe to the school twice a week. The school raises money for a range of charities, local, national and international.
The school will be holding an Open Afternoon later in the year to give parents and friends the opportunity to see the school in action.

Who can use the Recreation Ground (or “The Rec” as it is usually called)?
Anyone who lives in the parish of High Littleton and Hallatrow, and visitors such as local football teams, including juniors. The Primary School uses it in term time and anyone else who wants to spend time there.
What facilities does the Rec have?
In addition to the football pitch and the referees’ and team changing rooms, there is an enclosed play area with equipment (inspected weekly) for younger children. As the Rec is the only public open space in either of the villages available to everyone, it is also very popular with people just wanting a bit of fresh air and with dog owners.
Is dog fouling a problem?
We ask all dog owners to be considerate and clear up any mess their dog makes. It is only a problem if individuals disregard this request.
Who is responsible for running the Rec?
The ‘Recreation Ground’ is a charity registered with the Charity Commissioners. It is run by a committee of local elected trustees and representatives from the Parish Council, High Littleton Primary School, Holy Trinity Church and the Royal British Legion. The committee is responsible for maintaining the ground and keeping the building in good repair, carrying out safety inspections on the play equipment, making all day-to-day decisions and fund raising.
Why is the Rec run by a charity and not by the Parish Council?
When coal mining was one of the major industries of this country an Act of Parliament was passed which required mine owners to provide recreation facilities for their staff. In our parish this took the form of the Recreation Ground. The countrywide Miners’ Welfare Fund, as it became known, handed the facility over to the charitable trust when the local coal mines closed.
Where does the Recreation Club fit in?
Originally there were only facilities for footballers on the Rec, but later a clubhouse with a licensed bar was built. This conflicted with the charitable status of the Recreation Ground, as the Club is a commercial enterprise. The Club was split off and for a long time now the Recreation Ground Committee has been the Club’s landlord.
How is the Rec funded?
The Parish Council currently makes a grant to the Rec to cover grass cutting for the entire area of the ground. The P.C. also covers some capital expenditure from time to time, for example they have agreed a grant for two trees for the play area and will contribute towards the cost of repairing the roof of the building (a very big financial undertaking for us). Fund raising events are also held and advertised around the villages; we would like to see more people attending these. B&NES pays a small fee for the school to use the ground, as do football teams, but our main annual income derives from the rent or licensing agreement we have with the Club.
Where does the money go?
Regular outgoings include grass cutting, insurance, repairs to the building, upgrading changing and showering facilities for footballers and replacing broken equipment in the play area.
What are the biggest problems?
Making ends meet at the same time as trying to develop the ground to provide more and better facilities. For instance, we would like to develop the ‘tump’ end for use throughout the year. Basic costs like insurance increase every year.
The other big problem is lack of support; unfortunately our AGM in December was attended by only seven people, all of whom were committee members. Our committee is now in danger of not having sufficient people to run this important village asset. If more individuals do not come forward to offer active support, one day we may wake up to find our Rec has gone. Please come and help us keep it going.
What is the Rec’s biggest advantage?
It’s available to everyone and it’s sitting there now, waiting to be used – please do come and use it.
If you think you may be interested in helping us in some way, for instance by serving on the committee, fund raising or helping with other responsibilities, please contact John Wiles on 01761 472338

Local Neighbourhood Watch groups report several incidents of this type recently. Examples include:-
An impostor posing as a water board official wanting to check pipes and radiators obtained access to a property. If you are not aware of a problem in your house don’t let him in; check with the water company.
A resident went to the rear of his house with a man who was “dealing with a flooded house nearby”. Meanwhile a second person stole from the house. Lock up, even for a minute.
Door to door traders offered gardening services to an old lady. She refused. Returning later from shopping she found the work started and she was persuaded to pay £100 for unwanted work. Don’t keep large amounts of money in the house.
Real water officials carry identity cards and allow householders to check up while they wait on the doorstep or arrange a later appointment so that a friend can be present.
