Description Site:20380*0 The remains of a settlement near Scale Beck, situated on both banks of the two tributaries that form the rough delta at the mouth of this stream. 1) Old walling with orthostats, 2 sides of an enclosure. 2) Round heaps of boulders as of a cleared site and scattered boulders as of a dispersed enclosure. 3) Indeterminate walling. 4) Norse(?) house 10 yards x 5 yards overall. 5) Curious horse shoe shaped cell. 6) Enclosure walls & cleared area. 7) Large irregular elliptical enclosure 30 yards across containing a horse shoe shaped cell with a smaller similar internal cell. 8) Large Norse(?) foundation, external 14 yards x 8 yards with middle division, the west end heaped up with many boulders. Good cleared area east of here. 9) Much walling, including hut 6 yards x 5 yards with walls 3' high. 10) 24 yards from the hut in (9) is a good Norse house external twelve yards x four and a half yards. 11) 22 yards east of 10 is (a) Norse house ten yards x five and a half yards external, with signs of a division. (b) a curious square foundation of 8 yards with a corridor entrance on the east side. (c) a big square of 21 yards with rounded corners, walls standing 4' and looking later than the other remains or possibly rebuilt later. (d) inside (e) a square hut measuring 5 yards with an entrance projecting on one side. Local analogy suggests Scale Beck as possible a 'British Settlement' with subsequent 'Norse' occupation denoted by the rectangular 'Long Houses' Rectangular structures of Prehistoric date are now known] (Hay, T. 1945). Physically the site is generally as described by Hay, except that the alleged elliptical enclosure (7), (which is now bared of bracken by burning), is most probably a natural build up of stones due to the action of former water-courses passing over the delta of Scale Beck. The remains, consisting of the foundation walls of at least ten rectangular buildings and other small associated garths and fields, do not appear to be earlier than medieval in date, and probably represent a small hamlet. A circular structure, 2.25 meters in diameter, in the east corner of the easternmost building probably represents a hearth, while pieces of iron slag 10 meters to the north-west suggests the existence of a bloomery, although the two would not appear to be connected as there is no trace of slag within the hearth. That at Scales is perhaps to be related to the two bloomeries (forgiae ferri) in Loweswater, mentioned in 1305 but not in later extents of the manor (P.R.O, C133/119/9). Some deserted settlement sites are known as well. Two of the most extensive, Scale Beck, Buttermere and Smithy Beck, Ennerdale, may have been iron working hamlets, rather than agricultural settlements (Winchester, A.J.L. 1988).

Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society. 45. Description Site:20381*0 Remains of a circular enclosure on an artificial platform, situated to the left of Buttermere-Honister Road, just beyond Hassmess, where the road makes a half turn right as it reaches the upper end of Lake Buttermere. A circular building incorporating large boulders lies on the right of the circle looking from the lake, but it may be a later addition being less ruinous. A circular impression in the enclosure may be a hut site. Outside the enclosure are wall foundations forming two sides of a triangular enclosure (Hay, T. 1945). The remains of a small stone walled Romano-British homestead containing two probable hut platforms. The enclosing wall has been robbed to build a field dyke and sheep pen (Hay's circular building) but is still traceable around the whole perimeter. The entrance is in the south and the hut platforms are in the northern segment where the homestead has been scooped into the slope. Hay has obviously mistaken the field dyke for the enclosure wall as his "two sides of an external enclosure" are, in fact, part of the main enclosure wall.

Description Site:20382*0 A series of possible hut circles can be seen looking north from a point near the top of the road from Buttermere to Newlands waterfall and pass. The most conspicuous are on the lower half of Knott Rigg with a second group across the beck. They show more clearly in winter (Size, N. 1936). Nothing resembling hut circles could be found in the area cited, which is one of moorland pasture. The hut circles were not identified, however the grid reference for these sites covers a large area not all of which was searched (Maxwell, R. 1986).

    My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on.
  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

    Planning Cumbria Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan 2001 – 2016 Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character Preface to Technical Paper 5 Landscape Character 1. The Deposit Structure Plan includes a policy (Policy E33) on landscape character, while the term landscape character is also used in other policies. It is important that there is clear understanding of this term and how it is to be applied in policy terms. 2. This report has been commissioned by the County Council from CAPITA Infrastructure Consultancy in Carlisle. It is currently not endorsed by the County Council. On receipt of comments the County Council will re draft the report and then publish it as a County Council document. The final version will replace two previous publications: Technical paper No 4 (1992) on the Assessment of County Landscapes and the Cumbria Landscapes Classification (1995). 3. The report explains how landscape has been characterised in Cumbria (outside the National Parks) using landscape types and provides details of the classification into 37 landscape types and sub types. A recent review of the classification of County Landscapes (now termed Landscapes of County Importance) and their detailed boundaries are also included. 4. It should be noted that this report does not constitute Structure Plan Policy. It provides background information to enable the policy to be implemented and monitored. 5.

My focus has been reshaping the charity to be sustainable & relevant for the future. In my line of work the most precious resource is time, time to restructure or turn a business. Time is also limited for our vulnerable older people in Allerdale & Copeland. The charity is a classic example of one that has been over reliant on its reserves in the last 3 years while its income levels have continued to drop from an historical high of £2.2 million. Headcount has also dropped from 118 to 52 in 2 years, BUT the Covid-19 crisis that has come from the left field may tip over the charity. We are fighting hard to avoid this outcome.

  • Watendlath Valley

    Watendlath Valley

    WATENDLATH VALLEY A peaceful and varied walk through a traditional and small Lakeland valley. This could be a good "car free" day out but which is very flexible in length and time. Distance - About 7.5 miles /12 km taking c 3.5hours actual walking time for the whole route. Grade - Generally easy but with several short uphill sections on both on road and tracks. Some paths rough and uneven, wet in places. Access - From Keswick by the Borrowdale bus or the launch service to Ashness landing stage / Watendlath road end. By car on the B5289. Map - OS Explorer - The English Lakes - North Western - OL4 - 1: 25000 Start from the cattle grid just above the road end junction and walk steadily uphill through woodland for ten minutes. At the wall end read the plaque on the small cairn, in memory of the legendary Bob Graham. Ashness Bridge, a classic viewpoint, is now in sight. Over the bridge, continue on the road up two hill sections, passing Ashness Farm on the left. You soon reach Surprise View on the right, with a wonderful panorama across Derwentwater, Keswick and Skiddaw. The last of serious uphill!! Keep on the road through mossy mixed woods. In a few minutes bear right off the road onto a broad track leading downhill to a gate; turn right and cross the footbridge. Here turn left at the stone Indicator towards Watendlath following the riverside path. Pause at the next footbridge. In front is a small glaciated valley, the craggy sides forming the textbook U shape, with the white buildings of the hamlet in the distance.
