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.

Technical Paper 5
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.

2016 3rd International Conference on Social Science (ICSS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-410-3 Reading Lakescapes in Literature and Painting: From Keswick to Buttermere and Cummock Water * Jing-Dong ZHONG College of English, Zhejiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages, Shaoxing, China [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Buttermere, Crummock Water, Stillness, Literature and Painting. Abstract. This paper attempts to discuss the ways of “digging down through layers of memories and representations” to strengthen the “self-knowledge” of formulating harmonious human relations to nature as well as enjoying the natural sceneries, with the case studies of reading lakescapes in literature and painting, in which Buttermere and Crummock Water are the focus. The study examines some relative verbal and visual representations by some writers and artists and finds that although sharing in some similarities with Derwent Water in landscape features, Buttermere and Crummock Water are more prominent in a setting of stillness, and it is the very contemplation evoked by this feature that adds to their value as landscapes. Introduction Nigel Hammett(2012) once mentioned his tour along the road to Crummock Water and eventually to Buttermere. For him the latter is “the most beautiful of all lakes” and he will “never tire of” it. [1] As for the first view of the former, it struck him with the precious stillness of “an early spring day with few people and even fewer cars on the road,” when “it is possible to hear bird song and the bleat of sheep” and

Broughton Moor
Cumbria County Council Highways and Transport Economy and Infrastructure Directorate Joseph Noble Road Lillyhall Workington CA14 4JH T: 01946 506550 F: 01946 506537 E: [email protected] ALLERDALE SPEED LIMIT REVIEW: BROUGHTON MOOR Site description and overview: Broughton Moor is a sizeable village situated approximately 2.5 miles south east of Maryport, and is served by a number of small businesses and a primary school. The village is subject to a 30mph limit; however it has been highlighted that the limit extends slightly too far to the east and the west. The same applies on the southern approach – the 30mph limit extends too far out – however it is noted that there are a number of outlying properties on the outskirts of the village, that need to be considered. Existing traffic conditions: Recorded average speeds are 34 and 35 mph on the eastern and western approaches respectively, both with 85th percentile speeds of 40mph. On the southern approach, average speeds were recorded at 37mph with an 85th percentile value of 43mph. There is no recorded history of serious collisions. Proposed changes to the speed limit: To reposition the extents of the 30mph speed limit on the eastern and western approaches so they are more aligned with the built-up area. On the southern approach, the 30mph limit will also be relocated closer to the built-up area; however it is proposed that a 40mph “buffer” will be added for a distance of 370 metres. Summary of reasons for proposed change: The recorded average speeds indicate that the 30mph limit extends too far beyond the built-up area.

Charr (Sal Velinus Alpinus L.) from Three Cumbrian Lakes
Heredity (1984), 53 (2), 249—257 1984. The Genetical Society of Great Britain BIOCHEMICALPOLYMORPHISM IN CHARR (SAL VELINUS ALPINUS L.) FROM THREE CUMBRIAN LAKES A. R. CHILD Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Directorate of Fisheries Research, Fisheries Laboratory, Pake field Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk NR33 OHT, U.K. Received25.i.84 SUMMARY Blood sera from four populations of charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) inhabiting three lakes in Cumbria were analysed for genetic polymorphisms. Evidence was obtained at the esterase locus supporting the genetic isolation of two temporally distinct spawning populations of charr in Windermere. Significant differences at the transferrin and esterase loci between the Coniston population of charr and the populations found in Ennerdale Water and Windermere were thought to be due to genetic drift following severe reduction in the effective population size in Coniston water. 1. INTRODUCTION The Arctic charr (Salvilinus alpinus L.) has a circumpolar distribution in the northern hemisphere. The populations in the British Isles are confined to isolated lakes in Wales, Cumbria, Ireland and Scotland. Charr north of latitude 65°N are anadromous but this behaviour has been lost in southerly populations. This paper describes an investigation of biochemical polymorphism of the isozyme products of two loci, serum transferrin and serum esterase, in charr populations from three Cumbrian lakes—Windermere, Ennerdale Water and Coniston Water (fig. 1). Electrophoretic methods applied to tissue extracts have been employed by several workers in an attempt to clarify the "species complex" in Sal- velinus alpinus and to investigate interrelationships between charr popula- tions (Nyman, 1972; Henricson and Nyman, 1976; Child, 1977; Klemetsen and Grotnes, 1980).

An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria
BMM 01 An Archaeological Desk Based Assessment and Walk Over Survey of RNAD Broughton Moor, Cumbria Client: Allerdale Borough Council Richard Conolly November 2001 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Site Location and Description 3 Objectives 4 Methods 5 Results 6 Discussion 7 Recommendations 8 Acknowledgements Appendix 1: Sources Consulted Appendix 2: Gazetteer and Concordance Appendix 3: Photographic Register Summary Headland Archaeology Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment of the now decommissioned Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Broughton Moor, Cumbria, as part of a feasibility study being carried out for Allerdale Borough Council. The assessment identified a total of twenty-four sites in and around the depot. Most of these date to the 19th Century or later and relate to mines that occupied the site before the construction of the depot in 1938. Earlier land use is represented by the presence of a medieval field system and areas of ridge and furrow. A possible artificial mound was also identified. The depot itself has been extensively recorded by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. The mining sites and field system have been recorded by the Ordnance Survey. Therefore no further work is recommended for these sites. In the event of the possible mound being threatened by development then further work is recommended. 1 INTRODUCTION This report details the results of an archaeological assessment, comprising a desk based assessment and site walk-over, of the former Royal Navy Armaments Depot (RNAD) at Broughton Moor, Cumbria. The work was undertaken on behalf of Allerdale Borough Council as part of a feasibility study on possible future development.
