Mountain Ringlet Survey Squares 2010
MOUNTAIN RINGLET SURVEY SQUARES 2014 – NOTES FOR SURVEYORS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: The following relates only to dedicated Mountain Ringlet searches. For casual records please use our website “Sightings” page where possible. Click on sightings report on: www.cumbria-butterflies.org.uk/sightings/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We’d welcome surveys in any of the squares listed below, but are particularly interested in those marked * and +, ie where there have been recent positive sightings well away from known colonies or discovery of possible new colonies. The areas to be surveyed fall into 3 groups, in colour below, but also suffixed (1), (2) or (3) for those with black & white printers etc. 1. Grid squares that have previous positive sightings (shown in red) (1) 2. Grid squares adjacent to the above (shown in blue) (2) 3. Grid squares that are previously unrecorded but may have potential to hold Mountain Ringlet populations (shown in green) (3) The objective of these surveys is to try to determine the geographical spread of some known colonies, but also to survey areas that have suitable geology and which may hold previously unrecorded Mountain Ringlet populations. All the 1-km grid squares listed below lie in the 100-km square: NY AREA 1 - LANGDALE 2608 Martcrag Moor / Stake Pass (2) 2607 (north-east corner only) Part of Martcrag Moor (2) 2806 (northern edge) Raven Crag (1) 2807 Harrison Stickle (1) 2710 (eastern half only) -

Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations
Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas. -
Extracting Perceived Landscape Properties from Text Sources
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 Extracting perceived landscape properties from text sources Koblet, Olga Abstract: In parallel with the emergence of new data sources and the re-discovery of existing sources, such as written first-person narratives available in travel reports and diaries, is an increasing realisation of the importance of capturing bottomup ways of experiencing landscapes. This recognition is reflected in different policy works including overarching frameworks European Landscape Convention and Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and local ones, such as Landscape Character Assessment in England and Scotland (LCA) and the Swiss Landscape Monitoring Program. Important challenges for these frameworks are how to include multiple perspectives of landscape perception and how to integrate different senses including sound and smell experiences, memories and associations, and experiential perceptions such as touch and feel. The proliferation of new data in the form of natural language has brought with it a need for robust and reproducible workflows allowing extraction and classification of descriptions referring to perceived landscape properties. Therefore, the overall aim of this thesis is to explore the potential of written first- person narratives for landscape assessment and to develop methodological workflows, which can extract and classify information containing visual, aural and olfactory perception as well as tranquillity from natural language. To approach this aim, we set out a series of experiments in Great Britain and the English Lake District, first, demonstrating to what degree landscape scenicness can be modelled purely as a function of language (Publication 1), second, extracting and classifying information of other senses from written first-person narratives (Publications 2, 3, 4) and exploring temporal changes in landscapes, in perception and in their polarity (Publication 3). -

De Lancaster of Westmorland -241
DE LANCASTER OF WESTMORLAND -241- THE DE LANCASTERS OF WESTMORLAND: LESSER-KNOWN BRANCHES, AND THE ORIGIN OF THE DE LANCASTERS OF HOWGILL 1 by Andrew Lancaster ABSTRACT By his own admission Ragg’s 1910 paper De Lancaster could not complete a full study of all the de Lancasters in medieval Westmorland. The article proposes that several lines which he left incompletely explained might be connected in unexpected ways. One suggestion concerns Jordan de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. In addition, the doubts Ragg raised about the de Lancasters of Howgill lead the author to question explanations of their origins that are widely accepted. Foundations (2007) 2 (4): 241-252 © Copyright FMG and the author Jordan de Lancaster Ragg (1910) removed all reasonable doubt concerning the origins of the de Lancaster family of Sockbridge in Westmorland. A series of charters confirmed that their founder was Gilbert de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. This Gilbert was the son of William de Lancaster II, and the brother of Helewise de Lancaster, William’s daughter and legitimate heir. Ragg’s study of other documents established a clear line of descent from this Gilbert de Lancaster to the later and better-known Christopher de Lancaster of Sockbridge in the 14th century. As Ragg stated (p.396), the existence of Gilbert, son of William de Lancaster II, had in fact been asserted for some time before Ragg’s more conclusive paper. As I shall discuss further below, he appears as witness in many of his father’s charters, and Ragg admitted to having made an error in ignoring the evidence. -

The Lake District
The Lake District The Lake District has inspired poets and enchanted visitors to the area for centuries and that has helped validate its position as the UK’s most visited National Park. At the top of Skarfell in clear weather there are views over to Ireland and as far as Snowdonia in Wales. If making your way to the top of England’s highest peak doesn’t appeal to you then the beautiful lakes of Ullswater, Windermere and almost a hundred more bodies of water are sure to offer you plenty of opportunity for excitement or serenity. If you would like to experience some culture whilst in the area you could visit the Theatre by the Lake which runs a year round program of productions and has been called the most beautifully situated theatre in the country. Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s home for 38 years and remains today much as it was when she lived there. Immerse yourself in the space and surroundings that helped inspire her to write the stories loved throughout. Places to visit Lakeland Motor Museum Housed in a converted mill in the heart of the Lake District.

Westmoreland in the Late Seventeenth Century by Colin Phillips
WESTMORLAND ABOUT 1670 BY COLIN PHILLIPS Topography and climate This volume prints four documents relating to the hearth tax in Westmorland1. It is important to set these documents in their geographical context. Westmorland, until 1974 was one of England’s ancient counties when it became part of Cumbria. The boundaries are shown on map 1.2 Celia Fiennes’s view in 1698 of ‘…Rich land in the bottoms, as one may call them considering the vast hills above them on all sides…’ was more positive than that of Daniel Defoe who, in 1724, considered Westmorland ‘A country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even Wales it self. ’ It was a county of stark topographical contrasts, fringed by long and deep waters of the Lake District, bisected by mountains with high and wild fells. Communications were difficult: Helvellyn, Harter Fell, Shap Fell and the Langdale Fells prevented easy cross-county movement, although there were in the seventeenth century three routes identified with Kirkstone, Shap, and Grayrigg.3 Yet there were more fertile lowland areas and 1 TNA, Exchequer, lay subsidy rolls, E179/195/73, compiled for the Michaelmas 1670 collection, and including Kendal borough. The document was printed as extracts in W. Farrer, Records relating to the barony of Kendale, ed. J. F. Curwen (CWAAS, Record Series, 4 & 5 1923, 1924; reprinted 1998, 1999); and, without the exempt, in The later records relating to north Westmorland, ed. J. F. Curwen (CWAAS, Record Series, 8, 1932); WD/Ry, box 28, Ms R, pp.1-112, for Westmorland, dated 1674/5, and excluding Kendal borough and Kirkland (heavily edited in J.
