    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Subject Guide 1 – Records Relating to Inclosure Issue no. 19 July 2020 Contents Introduction 1 Organisation of List 2 Alphabetical List of Townships 2 A 2 B 2 C 3 D 4 E 4 F 4 G 4 H 5 I 5 K 5 L 5 M 6 N 6 O 6 R 6 S 7 T 7 U 8 W 8 Introduction Inclosure (occasionally spelled “enclosure”) refers to a reorganisation of scattered land holdings by mutual agreement of the owners. 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.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2011 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2011, second edition. Improvements in the 2011 edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. One kilometre resolution maps for upland and coastal species. My thanks to Bob Ellis for advice on mapping. The ―County Scarce‖ species are now incorporated into the main text. Hieracium is now included. This edition is ―regionally aligned‖, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. There is now a site index. Cover picture—Dark Red Helleborine at Bishop Middleham Quarry, its premier British site. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust‘s ―Recorder" system. We also have a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, to carry out conservation projects to protect the rare species. The purpose of this document is to introduce the Rare Plant Register and to give an account of the information that it holds, and the species to be included.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

  • Newsletter #14 Dec 2017
    THE KIPLING FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLETTER #14 DEC 2017 Welcome to the third newsletter of the year. There’s a new story about the Kiplings of Ripon, with a branch that settled in Lincoln. Also completion of the Baldersdale Kiplings story and a few other odds and ends to read over the festive season. The Kiplings of Ripon and Lincoln Robert Kipling, origins uncertain, was living at Alne near Ripon in Yorkshire by 1719, when he acquired property at Skelton -on-Ure near Ripon. He was described as being a ‘gentleman’. It is not clear who Robert was, but it is possible that he was the son, baptised at Winston (County Durham) in 1680, of Timothy Kipling. See “Timothy Kpling – Secretary to John Locke”. On Robert’s early death in 1728, his three young children were left orphaned. Son Alexander remained in Skelton, where he was eligible to vote in the 1741 election He, too, died relatively young and the family then seems to have dispersed. Son Alexander moving to Lincoln, son Charles to York and son Robert remaining in Skelton, later moving to Ripon itself dying there in 1822. The full story can be found at http://genealogy.kipling.me.uk/The%20Kiplings%20of%20Skelton.pdf Part of the tale of the Lincoln branch has already been written down in “A Kipling of the Oldest Profession” and the rest is now told in “Lincoln 1911”. Alexander was a saddler, as the Universal British Directory of 1791 tells us. His son Jospeh was a butcher – and at one stage an inspecor of proper butchery or hide trade practice.

  • 2010 Club Experience - Cheap Weekend Walking Breaks Enjoy the High Pennines, Hadrian’S Wall & Durham on Our Annual Short Summer Break
    “Outdoor activities for all” 2010 Club Experience - Cheap Weekend Walking Breaks Enjoy the High Pennines, Hadrian’s Wall & Durham on our annual Short Summer Break Thursday 1st to Monday 5th July 2010 John Hillaby’s Journey through Britain: “No botanical name-dropping, can give an adequate impression of the botanical jewels sprinkled on the ground above High Force. In this valley, a tundra has been marvellously preserved; the glint of colour, the reds, deep purples, and blues have the quality of Chartres glass.” High Force Booking Information & Form High England – Hadrian’s Wall and The North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, for much of its history a wild and dangerous frontier zone until the union of the crowns in 1603 largely ended centuries of war with Scotland. Today, it is sadly an area often overlooked by walkers as we head further north to the mountains of Scotland or to the Lake District. On our Club Experience summer short breaks we seek remoteness, the lure of hills, trails and paths to suit all abilities, places of culture and history and a destination that can enable us to escape for a short while from the stress of work and enjoy the social fun and community we all crave. Blackton Grange www.blacktongrangefarmhouse.com I promise will surprise - surrounded by rolling uplands, quiet lanes, dry stone walls and scenic reservoirs it is the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a relaxing break, with the comforts of home in a spectacular setting. This great venue can sleep up to 45 persons, but for our club experience long weekend the maximum number accommodated will be 28 persons, giving us a minimum of 6 double/twin rooms available and no more than four persons will share the other spacious bedrooms (these shared rooms will be allocated on a single sex basis unless booked by couples or friends who may wish to share).

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion
    ESSOAr | https:/doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10501104.1 | CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0 | First posted online: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 01:27:37 | This content has not been peer reviewed. Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.
