  History
Staverton is a village situated in the South Hams.
The name Staverton, or Stouretona, means "the village by the stony ford." The ford, an ancient crossing many centuries older than the bridge, was situated by Town Mills, and provided a route from the village to Dartington.
However old the real history of Staverton parish may be, written records go back to the time of king Athelstan (925-940), who gave extensive lands to the monastery of St. Mary and St. Peter in Exeter, so that the income from the lands could support the work of the church.

The entrance to what we call the 'great western staverton to totnes walkway' has one of the most wonderful mills, the only one of its kind in Devon that has not been touched.
There is a reason for this, in a recent planning attempt there is a river authority report that states that 'property and life would be at risk if the site was to be developed for residential use'.
The local steam line must be gutted, nobody stops and uses the 'greats western staverton to totnes' walkway, they cant do activities, such as natural trails, teddy bear picnics and the such and add colour and depth to the activities of what is one of the best preserved parish station.

To a large extent Staverton pioneered modernist architecture in the southwest of England, but sometimes the houses were too radical for their intended middle class audience.

Miss Staverton met her honest glare with a smile and the profession that she herself certainly would recoil from such an adventure.
It was agreeable to him at this very moment to be sure that when he had answered, after a brief demur, "Well, yes; so, precisely, you may put it!" her imagination would still do him justice.
She was seated by her fire, and before her, on his feet and restless, he turned to and fro between this intensity of his idea and a fitful and unseeing inspection, through his single eye-glass, of the dear little old objects on her chimney-piece.

 The Jolly Corner Doing Good by Stealth: Alice Staverton and Women’s Politics in The Jolly Corner
At the conclusion of ‘‘The Jolly Corner’’ Spencer Brydon recovers consciousness (after swooning at the sight of his double) in the lap of his friend, Alice Staverton.
In sharp contrast to the complex and sometimes violent imagery of Brydon’s experience throughout the extraordinary middle section of the tale, the mood of the brief, concluding section is mild and conciliatory.
Significantly, it is Alice Staverton, not Brydon, who dominates that final scene, both physically and verbally.

 www.agp.org | archives of global protests: International Day against Climate Change: Gloucestershire action
We can congratulate the airlines to some extent on cleaning up their act and reducing their emissions through improved design, but this is being outstripped by the phenomenal growth in the total number of flights.
Let us be clear Staverton is not the worst offender - today at Fairford's Tattoo more fuel will probably be used than at Staverton in a month and similarly Bristol airport and others make huge contributions to CO2 emissions.
Nevertheless the improvements to the runway being made here at Staverton will encourage more personal and business jet use - some of those jets are more efficient as the airport suggests but some are definitely not - but in any case the Cheltenham Borough Council Climate Change Strategy calls for reducing CO2 emissions.
