  • 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.

    Written evidence submitted by Age UK West Cumbria Ltd Third sector and charity case study evidence submitted to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Parliamentary Select Committee – April 2020 AGE UK WEST CUMBRIA LIMITED Type of organisation/governance: Limited by guarantee, Co Reg – 06047495, Charity Com – 1122049. It is one of 140 brand partners of Age UK, working across the United Kingdom. Purpose of organisation: To promote the relief of older people in Allerdale and Copeland Geographic area covered: Allerdale & Copeland in West Cumbria Who am I? I’m CEO and have been involved with this Charity at the coalface since June 2018. I have 30 years’ experience as a restructuring & turnaround specialist and I’m a former licensed insolvency practitioner. My focus has been reshaping the charity to be sustainable & relevant for the future. In my line of work the most precious resource is time, time to restructure or turn a business. Time is also limited for our vulnerable older people in Allerdale & Copeland. The charity is a classic example of one that has been over reliant on its reserves in the last 3 years while its income levels have continued to drop from an historical high of £2.2 million. Headcount has also dropped from 118 to 52 in 2 years, BUT the Covid-19 crisis that has come from the left field may tip over the charity. We are fighting hard to avoid this outcome. Work being done during Covid19: 1. Information & Advice 2. Food Parcels 3. Home from Hospital (To increase exit flow from the NHS & hence capacity) 4.

  • The Multiple Estate: a Framework for the Evolution of Settlement in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian Cumbria
    THE MULTIPLE ESTATE: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVOLUTION OF SETTLEMENT IN ANGLO-SAXON AND SCANDINAVIAN CUMBRIA Angus J. L. Winchester In general, it is not until the later thirteenth century that surv1vmg documents enable us to reconstruct in any detail the pattern of rural settlement in the valleys and plains of Cumbria. By that time we find a populous landscape, the valleys of the Lake District supporting communi­ ties similar in size to those which they contained in the sixteenth century, the countryside peppered with corn mills and fulling mills using the power of the fast-flowing becks to process the produce of field and fell. To gain any idea of settlement in the area at an earlier date from documentary sources, we are thrown back on the dry, bare bones of the structure of landholding provided by a scatter of contemporary documents, including for southern Cumbria a few bald lines in the Domesday survey. This paper aims to put some flesh on the evidence of these early sources by comparing the patterns of lordship which they reveal in different parts of Cumbria and by drawing parallels with other parts of the country .1 Central to the argument pursued below is the concept of the multiple estate, a compact grouping of townships which geographers, historians and archaeologists are coming to see as an ancient, relatively stable framework within which settlement in northern England evolved during the centuries before the Norman Conquest. The term 'multiple estate' has been coined by G. R. J. Jones to describe a grouping of settlements linked
