Four topics - the Pease family and their business interests, life in the villages, pitwork, and industrial relations - are examined in order to assess the impact of the Peases on the conditions of life and work in their villages. Comparison is made between their policy of paternalism and the attitudes of other coal owners in County Durham and elsewhere; and the changing conditions and attitudes which affected the relationship between owners and workmen are also examined.

V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In carrying out research on 'Pease and Partners and the Deerness Valley' I received information, advice and aid from a vast number of people to whom I owe a debt of thanks. I received invaluable assistance from archive and library staff at the Public Record Office (Kew and Land Registry); Durham County Record Office; Doncaster Archives Department; the Department of Palaeography and Diplomatic, Durham University; the Guildhall Library, London; the University Library,Durham; various departments of Durham City Council and Derwentside District Council, and the photographic archive at Beamish Museum. A number of individuals allowed me access to other documents, particularly Bill Dowding of the National Union of Mineworkers (Durham Area); Pat Francis of the Labour Party; Brenda Whittaker of the divisional Labour Party in Gateshead; Dianne Hayter, General Secretary of the Fabian Society; David Bridgeman-Sutton of the Durham Diocesan Board of Finance; and H.A. Nunn of Lloyds Register of Shipping. Rev. B. Johnson, and his successor Rev.M. Wilkinson of St. Pauls, Waterhouses; Father Milbum of Newhouse; and Rev. Percy Laidler of Esh Winning willingly gave me access to their church records. The Esh and Waterhouses Working Mens Club and Newhouse Club also allowed me access to returns and photographs. In the course of my work many people in the villages kindly took me into their homes and told me of village characters and events, and, in particular, I pay a special thanks to the memory of the late Robert Bone, J.P. and miner, who, before his death, sat and talked to me of pitwork. I am extremely grateful to my supervisor. Dr. Duncan Bythell, for reading the drafts and guiding an archaeologist in the ways of economic historians. Mr. Trevor Wood, of the Department of Archaeology, skillfully produced the prints, and Mrs.

Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

The answer was less easy to find than the question was to pose.

  • Handlist 13 – Grave Plans
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Handlist 13 – Grave Plans Issue no. 6 July 2020 Introduction This leaflet explains some of the problems surrounding attempts to find burial locations, and lists those useful grave plans which are available at Durham County Record Office. In order to find the location of a grave you will first need to find which cemetery or churchyard a person is buried in, perhaps by looking in burial registers, and then look for the grave location using grave registers and grave plans. To complement our lists of churchyard burial records (see below) we have published a book, Cemeteries in County Durham, which lists civil cemeteries in County Durham and shows where records for these are available. Appendices to this book list non-conformist cemeteries and churchyard extensions. Please contact us to buy a copy. Parish burial registers Church of England burial registers generally give a date of burial, the name of the person and sometimes an address and age (for more details please see information about Parish Registers in the Family History section of our website). These registers are available to be viewed in the Record Office on microfilm. Burial register entries occasionally give references to burial grounds or grave plot locations in a marginal note. For details on coverage of parish registers please see our Parish Register Database and our Parish Registers Handlist (in the Information Leaflets section). While most burial registers are for Church of England graveyards there are some non-conformist burial grounds which have registers too (please see appendix 3 of our Cemeteries book, and our Non-conformist Register Handlist).
