Geologically, the area forms part of the south-eastern extremity of both the Lake District Lower Palaeozoic inlier as a whole, and of the main outcrop of the Windermere Supergroup. Two outcrops of Silurian rock are described, separated by Carboniferous strata belonging to the Dinantian, platform limestone succession of South Cumbria. The main geological boundaries are major faults trending broadly north to north-north-west, but in the north of the SD48NW sheet, the Carboniferous rocks are unconformable on those of Silurian age. The Silurian strata form parts of the Bannisdale and Kirkby Moor formations; these comprise the Kendal Group, the uppermost unit of the Windermere Supergroup. The Bannisdale Formation is made up of beds of fine-grained turbidite sandstone grading up to siltstone, and between about 50 cm and 1 m thick; these are interbedded with thinner units of banded siltstone and mudstone. An unusual thinly- bedded lithofacies is described from the top of the formation. The Kirkby Moor Formation is characterised by medium- to thickly bedded, generally fine-grained micaceous sandstone grading up into thin layers of mudstone or siltstone. Beds commonly range up to about 75 cm thick, more rarely to more than 1.5 m. A distinctive reddened, finer grained lithofacies appears within the Kirkby Moor Formation, and has been defined as The Helm Member at The Helm, to the south- east of Kendal. Folding and cleavage development affecting the Windermere Supergroup strata are described and assigned to the Acadian Orogeny, of Emsian (latest Early Devonian) age. iv IR/06/129; Version 0.1 Last modified: 2007/03/02 15:50 1 Introduction The area described in this report forms part of the north-western sector of the Kirkby Lonsdale 1:50 000 sheet, England and Wales 49 (Figure 1). It lies to the south of the English Lake District and supports a sparse, hill-farming population. In the west, craggy hillsides rise to about 220m above sea level. To the east, drumlins become the dominant landscape feature with rolling hills rising to about 270 m above sea level. Geologically, the area forms part of the south-eastern extremity

  • Supplementary Information
    Heritage Team 4th Floor 100 Parliament Street London SW1A 2BQ T: 020 7211 2018 [email protected] www.gov.uk/dcms 11 November 2016 Dear Ms Bourdin, Thank you for your letter of 17 October requesting further information regarding the nomination of the English Lake District for World Heritage inscription. You have asked for further details concerning proposals for development in the English Lake District and we feel that it would be helpful to preface our response with some explanation of the planning functions and powers of the Lake District National Park Authority, which is the planning authority for the whole of the candidate English Lake District World Heritage site. The English Lake District is an outstanding cultural landscape that has evolved over a long period of time and needs to continue evolving to sustain its future. We have a vibrant community of some 42,000 residents and an economy that is sustained by the key activities of upland hill farming and tourism. These activities inevitably need to develop in order to sustain the local economy and along with other requirements of the Lake District community, they generate planning applications which are determined by the Lake District National Park Authority. UK National Parks have the highest level of planning protection in the UK and the framework for our decision-making is outlined below. BACKGROUND TO THE PLANNING FUNCTION OF UK NATIONAL PARKS UK National Parks were established under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, and amended by the Environment Act 1995, to: conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage (of the National Parks); and promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities (of the National Parks) by the public.

Archaeology of Cumbria ABSTRACT This thesis consists of a survey of events and materia culture in Cumbria for the period-between the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain circa AD ^10, and the Viking settlement in Cumbria in the tenth century. An attempt has been made to view the archaeological data within the broad framework provided by environmental, historical and onomastic studies. Chapters 1-3 assess the current state of knowledge in these fields in Cumbria, and provide an introduction to the archaeological evidence, presented and discussed in Chapters ^--8, and set out in Appendices 5-10.

Barkway COUNCILLOR COLLINS was invited to address the meeting. He discussed the “Certificate of Lawfulness” issued to Mr Pennington trading as Kentmere Water Co., to extract water from the leadmines spring which is already connected to the Staveley public water supply. Although Mr Pennington has been able to establish that extracting water by means of road tankers would not in itself be a change of use for planning purposes, if this were to be done on an industrial scale, it might be reconsidered. In questions, it was suggested that, although the site is outside the parish, residents might be affected by a serious increase in road congestion. Councillor Collins also warned of a significant increase in next year’s Council Tax. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS AGM HELD ON 13TH MARCH 1998 AT 8.27 P.M. The minutes were read and Mrs J. Otty proposed, Mrs A. Williams seconded the motion to accept them as a true record.

  • Notes on the Geology of the English Lake District
    449 NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. By]. E. MARR, M.A., F.R.S. (Rlad July 6tlr, I,OO.) A.-INTRODUCTION. HE Council of your Association has done me the honour of T inviting me to act as Director of an excursion to Lakeland in the course of the summer. In these circumstances, as I have been engaged in studying the geology of the district for many years, and have arrived at certain conclusions which have not hitherto been published, I may be pardoned if I incorporate among notes which may serve to give some idea of the general structure of the district, a summary of such conclusions; especially as, in my opinion, a knowledge of them is requisite to a right understanding of the actual structure. For several seasons I have had the pleasure of working in Cumbria with my colleague, Mr. Alfred Harker. Many of the facts and conclusions recorded in this paper are the result of this joint work, and my colleague shares with me the credit for any records which may be of value. I shall endeavour in the paper to point out clearly such portions as must be regarded as the joint work of Mr. Harker and myself. I have obtained his permission to give this brief preliminary outline of the results of our work, and should any errors be found therein I ask that I alone may be considered responsible for them. It is well-known that the heart of Lakeland is composed of Lower Palseozoic rocks, and that around these is a girdle of later deposits of Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic ages.

  • A Brief History of Kentmere
    A Brief History of Kentmere Our story probably begins around 4000BC and it is likely that the first people to inhabit this valley were wandering groups who came here in the later Stone Age. At that time our hills were almost covered in forest and the few animals they had with them would graze along the edge of the wooded areas gradually clearing them. By Roman times much of the forest had been driven back so even in those early days farming had a significant impact upon the landscape and the farmers’ work over centuries eventually led to the attractive patchwork of fields, walls and woodland that we have today. It is probable that the first people to settle here were here came during the Iron Age. They would be Celtic farmers who between 100BC and AD400 built small communities in the valley. Four of these settlements have been discovered. The sites of their huts – although now little more that piles of stone – are still visible. The site at Millriggs is particularly interesting. A glass bracelet dating from AD150 was found there. The Romans came to this part of the world around AD90. They built a fort at Watercrook, Kendal and another at Galava, Ambleside and the road linking them ran through Kentmere. This road would be used by local people as well and perhaps there was a measure of trade with the Roman soldiers. Two places – ‘High Street’ and Broadgate’ show evidence of a paved road above Kentmere to the west although after the Romans left around AD400 the forts and roads all fell into disrepair and ruin.

  • KENTMERE HALL and the GILPINS 1373 -1672 by Joe Scott Based on a Talk Given at a Society Meeting Feb 9Th 1999
    The Occasional Papers of the Staveley and District History Society Number 12 KENTMERE HALL AND THE GILPINS 1373 -1672 By Joe Scott based on a talk given at a Society meeting Feb 9th 1999 As the plan below shows the pele tower on the left Kentmere Hall is the most picturesque of the late is the oldest part. A spiral stair in its north-east mediaeval fortified houses of the Kendal area. corner led up to the upper floors. The stonework Some like Burneside are far more dilapidated; of the central part, the hall, and the cross wing on others like Sizergh have been transformed into the right shows that they were built up to a stately homes. But Kentmere has not changed hundred years after the tower. Before this there very much in the last 300 years. may have been an earlier Hall, probably a single storey building with a thatched roof on a timber frame. 2 The tower, with its complex battlements and turrets and its elegant window was built in an age when stone buildings were rare, and when the sandstone for the window surrounds had to be brought from miles away on packhorses. Another striking feature of the Hall is its position. There is no sign of an outer defensive wall, and the site is overlooked from high ground within easy bowshot on three sides. Despite the impressive machicolation, defenders on the roof parapet would have been an easy target. The Hall may have provided some security against a gang of unruly neighbours in the disorderly years of the later Middle Ages, we may suspect from its The main room of the first floor had an elegant position as well as its elegance that its builder was window facing south, a fireplace and a door into thinking more of prestige and status than of real the upper part of the hall, as well as doors to the tactical defence.
