		There are a number of rivers of this name in England, but this one rejoices in the higher-sounding appellation of the "Great Stour." The river has an ancient record, as we read that an Act was passed in 1514 placing the River Stour navigation under the care of the town of Canterbury.
		The cathedral is, of course, the great attraction, an imposing edifice being one of the most ancient in England, and fuller, perhaps, of historical association than any other in the country.
		The Stour at this point presents no particular attractions, and is, moreover, rather narrow, but it has comparatively clear water, with a considerable current and with depth enough to float small craft.

		The great church which remains to us is said to have been used by the monks, and if not part of the abbey itself which would seem to have stood at some distance from it, more than one thing that remains in it would seem to endorse such a theory.
		When great Rome broke into England lost in mist, here certainly she established a city that was as it were the focus of all the ports of the Straits whence most easily a man might come into England from the continent.
		In 1096 it was pulled down and a great apsidal choir of ten bays was built over a lofty crypt, with a tower on either side the apse and an eastern transept having four apsidal chapels in the eastern walls, two in the north arm and two in the south.

		Papa Stour, the "great island of priests," is shaped like a large starfish and lies off the west coast of Mainland, 40km (25 miles) northwest of Lerwick.
		Legend has it that its profusion of wildflowers had such a strong scent that old fishermen could use the perfume -- borne far out on the wind -- to fix their positions.
		Papa Stour is very isolated, and once it was feared the island might be depopulated, but about 26 settlers live here now.

		Papa Stour - 'the great island of the priests' - was an early base for Christian missionaries in the Shetland Islands.
		Separated from the Mainland of Shetland by the Sound of Papa, the fertile island of Papa Stour lies at the southern edge of St Magnus Bay.The island's stacks and inlets support large colonies of nesting seabirds and Kirstan's (Christie's) Hole is reckoned to be one of Britain's finest sea caves.
		Reached by boat from West Burrafirth, the island's declining population, falling from a total of 351 in 1871, was revitalised in the 1970s with an influx of settlers but now only stands at 24.

		Yesterday he met members of the Stour Fisheries Association, which represents angling interests on the lovely river that runs through Wye, and sought to assure them that the so-called science park won’t ruin the neighbouring water with polluting effluent.
		The Stour is a migratory fish river: sea trout and a few salmon spawn in the section between Ashford and Canterbury, and brown trout spawn on the gravels, according to Mid Kent Fisheries
		We are not aware of any great technical expertise on the part of Cllr Clokie when it comes to environmental effluent management, so we will leave to others the technical explanation of how the output of a fuel refinery might reach a modest river with no ill effects.

		On the side of the Stour River valley is the ancient track, "The Pilgrims Way", which runs between the Winchester, the former capital of England, and Canterbury.
		Much of the Kent landscape is based on chalk, running down to the sea to become the white cliffs of Dover.
		Chalk is water permeable, so there isn't much surface water here, and despite the name, the Stour is really quite a small river.

		A great shot and a great save for the corner that brought the goal.
		Agreed - but it was Andy Wright that scored the goal, not Bellingham as the tannoy announced - although I suppose it was difficult to spot the scorer in the melee of players.

		The Stour Bridge was renewed in the 1990s but in the time I write of it was an iron structure with high girders.
		West of the pub the river splits into the Great Stour and Little Stour rivers, the little one going through the marshes to West Stourmouth.
		It caused great amusement in the village and the culprit was never, to my knowledge, caught.
