Readersmay wish to savespace in the binder by discarding someof the repeatedpages e.g. 121to 142.Future editions will be planned to make this a simpler operation.

Lowing HYDROLOGICAL DATA: 1982 FOREWORD In April 1982, care of the United Kingdom national archive of surface water data passed from the Department of the Environ- ment's Water Data Unit (which was disbanded) to the Institute of Hydrology (IH). In a similar move, the Institute of Geological Sciences, subsequently renamed the British Geological Survey (BGS), took over the national groundwater archive. Both IH and BGS are component bodies of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The BGS hydrogeologists are located with at Wallingford and close cooperation between the two groups has led, among other things, to the decision to publish a single series of yearbooks and reports dealing with nationally archived surface and groundwater data and the use made of them. The work is overseen by a steering committee with representatives of Government departments and the water industry from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The published series - Hydrological Data: UK - will include an annual yearbook and, every five years, a catalogue of river flow gauging stations and groundwater level recording sites together with statistical summaries. These six volumes of the 5-year cycle will be available individually but are also designed to be inserted in a ring binder. Further details of these arrangements are given on page 166. The series - but not the binder - will also include occasional reports dealing with significant hydrological events and analyses. The first of these reports provides a review of the 1984 drought.

  • History of Holy Trinity, Colton
    - HOLY TRINITY CHURCH COLTON NOTES ON ITS HISTORY AND ENVIRONS The parish of Colton lies in that part of Cumbria which was known as High Furness (now South Lakeland) and though it is not generally thought of as being part of the English Lake District, it is yet near enough to that enchanting region to share some of the magic of its renowned beauty. The sterner and wilder aspects of Nature - high mountains, difficult passes, deep lakes, raging and tumultuous water falls are not here; these lie farther North. A glimpse, however, of what we may expect there is suggested if from Colton we look across the beautiful valley of the Crake coming from Coniston Water, to that noble group of mountains which includes the Old Man, Dow Crag and Wetherlam. Though this scene is less majestic and awe-inspiring than the more famous Cumbrian views, yet its loveliness delights the eye and seems to link our Colton panorama with the beginning of the true Lake District. We have around us, in this parish of Colton, scenery of a charm and variety which provides perpetual wonder and joy. There are fine stretches of fell country across which streams and becks innumerable make their picturesque courses to the rivers Leven and Crake, adding 'the beauty born of murmuring sound' to their visual attractions. The scenery is far more diversified than that of Low Furness and it has a varied and irregular surface of cheerful valleys, rocky but modest acclivities and hanging woods everywhere, clothing their sides, almost to their summits. Colton Church is set in a scene of such wonderful beauty that anyone approaching it for the first time might be forgiven if he compared the apparent insignificance of man's handiwork with the striking loveliness of surrounding Nature.

  • Colton Church Parish Newsletter, April 2020
    PASTORAL LETTER 10 Bobbin Mill Spark Bridge ULVERSTON LA12 8 BS April 2020 Dear friends How do you want to be remembered? This thought was prompted by a report I saw in a newspaper. A woman had been murdered and the only thing the journalist could use to illustrate the woman’s life, her legacy as it were, was, ‘she had trained Princess Anne’s dogs’. I would like to think there were other glorious achievein so we can oiffer our thankments of her life more worthy of mention in that three-inch column report. Above the head of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday was a board on which was written ‘King of the Jews’. This epitaph was ordered by Pontius Pilate, not as a declaration but rather an insult to those who had brought Jesus before him for sentencing. As Jesus died on the cross He uttered a sentence which showed the depth of His Love for us and the depth of our need for that Love. He said, “Forgive them Father for they do not know what they are doing”. His subsequent Resurrection revealed the power of such God-given forgiveness. However, the Lord’s word from on the cross is not His last word. His last word has yet to be spoken: His judgement upon the earth and all who have lived thereon has yet to come. When He Jesus returns, at a time appointed but yet to be fulfilled, there will be a gathering of all who are living and have lived and died on earth.

    RUSLAND HORIZONS Working a Lakeland Landscape 2 The Landscape, its Heritage and its People This chapter describes in detail the varied aspects of the Rusland Horizons landscape, looking at both its physical characteristics and its heritage assets. The first section provides an explanation of the area’s key features using the landscape character assessment approach. Sections 2.2 and 2.3 examine the natural heritage, including geology and biodiversity, and the cultural heritage of the area, looking at how these have developed over time. The final section describes the ecosystems services of the area and explores how the Landscape Partnership can contribute to the process of identifying and supporting these services. Figure 1: View from Rusland Heights. © T. Morris. In High Furness there is an irregular and romantic mixture of high craggy hills, deep glens, and verdant valleys, interspersed with brooks, rivers and lakes. Edward Baines (1824).

It is about the relationship between people and place. landscape character assessments provide a tool for identifying features that give a locality its 'sense of place' and pinpoint what makes it different from neighbouring areas. They provided a framework for describing an area in a systematic, value-free way and help land managers ensure that change can respect and enhance local character.
