  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. 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.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This statistics framework uses the Department of Culture Media & Sport’s (DCMS’s) definition of culture, as described in the DCMS’s Evidence Toolkit – DET (2004). This is becoming the generally accepted standard to observe. The DET adopts an “industrial” definition of the sector, by reference to the cultural output and activities it delivers, rather than an "occupational” definition. Seven domains are identified within “culture” by the DET. These are: performance, visual arts, heritage, books and press, audio-visual, sport and tourism. The DCMS classification includes economic activity across the “entire supply chain” and so retail and manufacturing are counted together with purely cultural functions. The DET relates the domains to the industrial and standard occupational classifications in National Statistics. It should be understood, that while the majority of people with cultural “occupations” are economically active in these domains, some with cultural “occupations” are economically active in other industrial sectors. The framework gathers together available statistics for each of the seven cultural domains in Cumbria. The data on sport are in the process of being finalised and will be added to the framework shortly. The figures held in the framework cover provision (organisations, activities and resourcing) and outputs (public engagement, attendance and cultural achievements) within each domain. Summary sections deal with festivals, which can overlap the domains, and the “creative industries”. The framework also includes six cross-cutting sections, which deal with areas of general policy interest. These cover creation, education, outreach and training, voluntary organisations, the public (participation and market characteristics) resourcing the sector and buildings and investment.

  • Roman Roads in Britain
    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • LD275 Allerdale BC Strategy for Infrastructure April 2013
    “Allerdale – aStrategy great place for to live, Infrastructure work and visit” A p r i l 2 0 1 3 PART ONE: BASELINE ASSESSMENT 1. Introduction Background 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to assess the quality and capacity of infrastructure for transport, water supply, wastewater and its treatment, energy (including heat), telecommunications, utilities, waste, health, social care, education, flood risk and coastal change management, and its ability to meet forecast demands. 1.2 With specific reference to infrastructure, the NPPF states that in producing local plans, local planning authorities should develop policies that: • Identify priority areas for economic regeneration, infrastructure provision and environmental enhancement • Create, protect, enhance and manage networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure • Address potential barriers to investment including any lack of infrastructure • Develop strategies for the provision of viable infrastructure necessary to support sustainable development 1.3 The NPPF states that in order for local plans to be found sound they must demonstrate that they are deliverable across the period over which they will run. This includes making it clear what infrastructure is needed, its criticality and when it is likely to be provided. Policy Context 1.4 The NPPF states that Local Plans should be supported by evidence of what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area over the plan period. The process should identity infrastructure needs and where possible, phasing, costs, funding sources and responsibilities for delivery. 1.5 Guidance from the Planning Inspectorate suggests that it should be clear what new infrastructure is required to enable the delivery of the plan and who is going to fund and provide it.
