  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

This issue’s contributors: John & Margaret Allen, Tricia Anderson, Trevor Batchelor, Toni Busuttil- Reynaud, John Gerner, Elaine Grayson, David Hall, Christine & Graham Mason, Trev Masters, Gordon & Nicky Prosser, Chris & Sue Rogers, Melanie Shearn, Judith Vince, Sandra Wain, Colin Wild, Andrew Wood Activity Issue 114 Trev MASters’ Voice Firstly, on behalf of us all, I welcome Melanie Shearn as our new editor of Activity. Also, Melanie, a big thank-you for taking on this important position. And also, of course, many thanks to her predecessor, Toni, for all his excellent, award-winning work over so many years. After a generally disappointing start to the season with several meets having to be cancelled, it’s now encouraging to note that the vast improvement to the weather has enabled us to get those vans out and things seem to be in full swing. I was hugely disappointed therefore that health concerns led me to cry off attending the Festival of Walking and Cycling – I actually got as far as Wakefield! – especially, as from all accounts it was an extremely enjoyable and successful event. Congratulations and thanks to all in Northern Area who were involved in its planning and its running. You even managed to arrange fantastic weather! I wrote in our last edition about the need to ensure we have enough volunteers to fill essential positions and it’s therefore heartening to know that Peakland and Northern Areas, and the Section itself, achieved a full complement.

  • Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603
    Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603 A Clapham Village History Project 2016 - 2018 The further backward you can look, the further forward you can see (W.S.Churchill) INTRODUCTION This project was funded by Stories in Stone, a scheme of conservation and community projects concentrated on the Ingleborough area. The scheme was developed by the Ingleborough Dales Landscape Partnership, led by Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A group of volunteers, brought together in 2016 by Ken Pearce, Sheila Gordon, Mary Slater and Michael Slater, made digital images of wills and inventories for the ancient parish of Clapham, North Yorkshire, for transcription and analysis. This parish comprised Austwick, Clapham, Feizor, Lawkland, Newby and Newby Cote. Clapham ancient parish was chosen as collections of wills and inventories for neighbouring ancient parishes Giggleswick, Horton-in-Ribblesdale and Ingleton have already been made. An eventual comparative study of all of these records will be of value; this report considers the wills and inventories separately to make valid comparisons with other parishes easier. The documents relevant to this work are held at the Lancashire Record Office (LRO) in Preston, Lancashire. The LRO staff have been most obliging and helpful. Corrections have been made to the LRO catalogue where names of testators were incorrectly recorded. Some of the documents were in such a delicate, fragmented and unreadable state that they were not photographed. The digitising of the documents was carried out with equipment provided by Capturing the Past - a Stories in Stone project training volunteers to catalogue and digitise local archives.

  • 2018 RAND Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 THE RAND CORPORATION IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS SOLUTIONS TO PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGES TO HELP MAKE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SAFER AND MORE SECURE, HEALTHIER AND MORE PROSPEROUS. FACT FORW FACT MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR ANDMESSAGE THE PRESIDENT High-quality, objective research and analysis are RAND’s stock-in-trade. Increasing the impact of that research and analysis is RAND’s overarching institutional priority. But the role of facts and analysis in policymaking and in American public life has diminished over the past two decades—and this regrettable trend is not limited to the United States. The very foundations of democracy have begun to erode within and outside U.S. borders. Technology is revolutionizing societies at unprecedented speed, fixing some of the world’s ills while making people and institutions everywhere increasingly vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation. Our vision is for a world where facts matter; where the best minds find ways to help people and organizations flourish; where ideas are tested, debated, and refined; and where the best ideas rise to the top and are shared with all who want to and can use them. The RAND Corporation is a one-of-a-kind organization—part think tank, part consultancy, part university—which makes it uniquely positioned to analyze—and to solve—humanity’s biggest, most complex problems. Every day, researchers and doctoral students at RAND are energized by taking on these challenges to improve the collective safety and security, health, and well-being of citizens. We turn to evidence, data, and facts to help communities rebuild and become more resilient after disasters; devise strategies to thwart illicit activities in cyberspace; deescalate and deter international conflicts; cultivate better outcomes for students; and more.

  • Brochure for the Proposed Upper Aire Benefice of Gargrave, Coniston Cold and Kirkby in Malhamdale
    BROCHURE FOR THE PROPOSED UPPER AIRE BENEFICE OF GARGRAVE, CONISTON COLD AND KIRKBY IN MALHAMDALE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE THE BENEFICE OF GARGRAVE, CONISTON COLD AND KIRKBY IN MALHAMDALE The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The dio- cese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, di- versity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Hudders- field, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Rich- mond & Craven). Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all of our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth, both numerically and spiritually. 2 THE BENEFICE The proposed Upper Aire Benefice comprises three parishes in the Ripon Episcopal Area, part of the Bowland and Ewecross Deanery.

The full version of the walk. Add extra nights (we recommend Ripon, Malham and Austwick) to ease you in, give you a rest in the middle and to celebrate the end. How much walking? Full days: 15-24 km per day, 3½-6½ hours walking Using shortening options: 10-15km per day, 2¼-4½ hours walking using ride-with-luggage transfers at the start of each day Max. Grade: This route, our third in England and our first in the north of the country, seeks to show walkers the two sides of Yorkshire’s rural heritage, and was designed by local residents and On Foot clients Shaun and Lynda Callaghan. Starting in the eastern lowlands, in the little cathedral “city” of Ripon, the first day takes you straight to one of the most important centres of medieval England, Fountains Abbey, which owned vast tracts of the county before Henry VIII decided that he would prefer them for himself and his barons. The setting of the Abbey is without parallel. The route then starts to climb, gradually at first, through the sheep country of the Dales (sheep were as important in medieval times as they became in the 18th century when they were the basis for Yorkshire’s industrial growth). Linking the pretty villages of Pateley Bridge, Burnsall, Hebden, Grassington and Kettlewell, your route reaches limestone country via justly famous Malham “Cove”, before traversing the market town of Settle to your destination, Austwick village, nestling in the dale below the gaunt massif of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s “three peaks”, and your final challenge.
