Ashby Puerorum Beck at downstream of Medbourne

EA name: ASHBY PUERORUM BECK AT D/S MEDBOURNE (also listed as “ASHBY PUERORUM BECK AT D/S MEDBOURNE'S HOLT”)
Environment Agency sampling point AN-SSN1321 · Freshwater - rivers · listed as open (“open” does not mean it is sampled now)

These are samples taken on a date, not live readings of the river. Results reach the Environment Agency's archive days to months after the sample is taken, so the newest here may be weeks or months old. FloodRadar does not grade them.

Where and when

Last sampled: 7 Dec 2023, 11:092.8 years ago · time as the Environment Agency records it (UK clock time; the source gives no time zone). Not sampled since, as far as the archive shows: the Environment Agency was asked up to 8 Oct 2026 and had nothing newer.
Samples banked: 3 since 5 Oct 2023 Imported periods: 1 Oct 2023 – 8 Oct 2026. Samples outside them are not shown here.
Latest sample: River / running surface water Monitoring (national agency policy)
Where: National Grid 532279, 371004As published, to the nearest 1 m. Open in a map
River, by its own name: Ashby Puerorum Beck
River, by the map: An unnamed streamPlaced by position alone (the only river line close by), 5 m from the line.
Next gauge downstream: Partney On the River Lymn · 11 km along the river
Why it was sampled: Monitoring (national agency policy) (3 samples)

1 visit found no water to sample (recorded as “No flow”).

Everything measured here

18 determinands, each kept by its code, unit and sample material: results in different units or on different materials are never mixed. A “below” result is under the laboratory's detection limit, not zero.

FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
