It feels as though the whole world Monday 8th July is alive. It is a reminder that life is the greatest gift of all. In Christian thought, life has always been deemed sacred because only God can give life. That idea of the sanctity of life does, however, have its Morland and Newby WI - Visitors are always welcome at our events, especially if you are difficulties.

  • Floods in Carlisle - January 2005
    Floods in Carlisle - January 2005 Heavy rainfall on Friday 7 January led to flooding in Carlisle on Saturday 8th January 2005. The rainfall was prolonged over the high ground of the nearby Lake District and Pennines, draining into the River Eden on which Carlisle is situated. Places in western Scotland and north Wales also recorded high rainfall amounts from this event because of similar conditions in a south-westerly airstream. Impacts Three people were killed, many homes and businesses were flooded and schools were closed. There was widespread transport disruption with all of Carlisle's buses damaged. Appleby, Cockermouth and Keswick also had flooding. This was the worst flood to affect Carlisle since 1822. The following are links to the BBC News website. Weather data On the 7th a westerly airstream affected the UK with a near stationary weather front across northern England and southern Scotland. A very deep depression then tracked eastwards across southern Scotland on the 8th. Details of the wind associated with this system are given January 2005 - stormy spells The highest rainfall (180.4 mm) was recorded at Rydal Hall, Cumbria and this is estimated as likely to occur less oen than once in 200 years. Many places had over 100 mm of rain in one day with several having a once in more than 30 years event. The synoptic situation at 12 GMT on Friday 7 January 2005.

The 2012 Local Planning Regulations state the requirements for the preparation of a policies map to accompany a local plan. A policies map is defined as a map of the local planning authority’s area, which: - is based on an Ordnance Suvey map, - includes an explanation of any symbol or notation which it uses, and - illustrates geographically the application of the policies in the adopted development plan. 2. At a local plan’s submission stage, the Regulations require a submission policies map which shows how the Council’s existing policies map would be amended by the new local plan if it were adopted. 3. Eden’s adopted policies map is the proposals map that accompanies the 1996 Local Plan. The submission local plan would result in a number of changes to the 1996 proposals map and this topic paper explains how the submission policies map will amend the existing proposals map once adopted. 4. This paper firstly works through each of the policy designations on the 1996 Proposals Map and explains how they have been amended on the submission policies map. It then sets out new designations that have been included on the submission policies map. www.eden.gov.uk 3 Review of 1996 Proposals Map Designations ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES 5.

At a very late stage in the process, there was a successful legal challenge in connection with a procedural matter and the documents were quashed by the High Court. It is, therefore, necessary for the consultations to be repeated before the documents can be resubmitted to the Secretary of State. The challenge was about the inclusion, without a further round of consultations, of an Area of Search for sand and gravel known as M12 Roosecote quarry extension in Site Allocations Policy 7.

  • Parliamentary Enclosure and Changes in Landownership in an Upland Environment: Westmorland, C.1770–1860
    Parliamentary enclosure and changes in landownership in an upland environment: Westmorland, c.1770–1860 by Ian Whyte Abstract The impact of parliamentary enclosure on landownership, especially on small proprietors, has been considered mainly in the context of lowland open-field arable communities. However, it also affected extensive areas of upland common pasture in northern England. This article examines parliamentary enclosure in Westmorland where the context of enclosure and the structure of rural society were mark- edly different from southern England, particularly in the prevalence of customary tenures with rights effectively equivalent to freehold. A study of sales of allotments in enclosure awards, and changes in landownership between awards and subsequent Land Tax returns, shows that there was considerable con- tinuity of occupation by smaller proprietors despite enclosure. Parliamentary enclosure in Westmorland does not appear to have caused the large scale disappearance of small owners or their transformation into landless wage labourers. Small owner-occupied farms remained a characteristic feature of this area into the later nineteenth century. Parliamentary enclosure has been viewed as a form of oppression of smaller landowners by larger ones, with smallholders and owner-occupiers being forced to sell out due to its high costs. The common rights of smallholders and cottagers were removed and replaced, if they were replaced at all, by small, sometimes distant allotments. Loss of common rights and the sale of their plots forced cottagers and smallholders to work as full-time labourers for the larger farm- ers. This caused increasing social polarisation and growing poverty at the lowest levels of rural society, with a consequent outflow of population to towns and industrial areas.1 In the Midlands 1 The literature on parliamentary enclosure is extensive and contentious.

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

  • Notes from Morland Vicarage Church News & Local Events JAM: Jesus and Me for Pre-School Children and Parents
    Notes from Morland Vicarage Church News & Local Events JAM: Jesus and Me for pre-school children and parents. “I don’t believe it!” In a way, that catchphrase of Victor Meldrew’s has become a kind of anthem for our generation. We have had so many false dawns, things that promised so much only to disappoint. So it’s hard to believe or to hope. Safer, perhaps, to put on the armour of cynicism.It sounds plausible to think Morland: Monday 16th April at 9.30am that if we just don’t believe in the first place, we won’t be disappointed – a logic I’ve applied to years of Crosby: Monday 23rd April at 9.45am watching the Scottish rugby and English cricket. The only trouble is that it doesn’t w ork. It just leaves us Morland Home Group perpetually disappointed. And strangely, despite all the setbacks life can throw at us, human beings have The group will meet on 17th April at 2.00p.m. at 31, Jackson Cro .and on 1st of May at a remarkable capacity for hope. Against all reason, against all adversity, ‘hope springs eternal in the 2.00p.m. at Upper Orchard, Morland. All are welcome. For more details ring human breast’, as Alexander Pope observed. 10931714455. And the Resurrection of Jesus must be one of the most unbelievable events that human beings have ever been asked to take seriously. It goes against everything we know about life and death – and we do know Morland & Newby WI quite a lot. Surely it was just the wild imaginings of a more gullible age, a story that grew like Chinese THURSDAY 12TH APRIL 7.30 whispers, from the mundane to the fanciful? Surely it’s just a story for children and crackpots? Well, MORLAND VILLAGE HALL from the perspective of a more cynical age, it would be tempting to th ink so, but what is remarkable is that OPEN MEETING even reading the Gospel accounts of the Resurrection what strikes you most is the “I don’t believe it!” ALLANA HUGHES who is a highly qualified architect will give a talk about reaction of the disciples.
