At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy. The strategies employed by the Crown to make its authority felt in the region will also be explored. The sources utilised for this study are chiefly those preserved in the records of the central administration. Calendars of rolls reveal much about regional office holding, land tenure and administration. The reign of Henry VIII is well documented thanks to the multi-volume Letters and Papers. Some local sources are extant, such as the Clifford letters and collections preserved in Cumbrian records offices. A body of records relating to the barony of Kendal provides insights into administration and society in that area. These sources have been used to trace the roles of regional figures in political developments during the period. The thesis contains four chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of government and society in the far northwest. Chapter one discusses landholding. It will show the degree of regional landed influence possessed by different groups and how landed influence translated into political power. Chapter two discusses office holding, describing the functions of regional officers and highlighting regional peculiarities. An examination of the personnel employed in regional offices will reveal the dominant influences on political society. Chapter 111 three a discussion of the role of the Church in administration and society and the reaction of the local population to changes introduced during the Reformation. Chapter four is focused on the frontier with Scotland. It will discuss the implications of almost constant warfare on political society and the region. lV Acknowledgements I would gratefully like to acknowledge the support of my supervisors, Professor Michael Bennett and Dr. Elizabeth Freeman, for their insights into the period, the region and the practice of historical writing.

It has been conceived as a counterpoint to the work of scholars who have undertaken similar research into the networks of authority and political communities in other periods and regions. It will examine the far northwest of England in the context of the upheavals that were occurring in government and society throughout the kingdom at this time and it will highlight degrees of change and continuity apparent in regional administrative and social networks. The thesis will discuss the impact of the region's distance from the capital and its position as a frontier zone with regards to the effectiveness of royal authority and the persistence of feudal administrative and tenurial structures. Over the past thirty years a number of historians have undertaken to illustrate the social ties and networks of power and authority that operated in diverse English counties. The inspiration for this work on regional administration and political society arose during historical debates in the 1960s. The great medievalist K. B. Mcfarlane called into question the established 'royalist' view of English history developed by Victorian constitutional scholars such as William Stubbs and f. W. Maitland. 1 Mcfarlane

  • 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.
