  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

    ANNEX 1 Darlington Local Plan 2016 - 2036 Sustainability Appraisal Framework September 2017 Darlington Borough Council 1 170912 EG Local Plan Sustainability Assessment Annex 1 Framework / Cabinet Contents 1.0 Summary 2.0 Introduction and context 3.0 Information requirements 4.0 Development of the Sustainability Framework Appendix 1: Review of plans, policies and programmes Appendix 2: Sustainability appraisal baseline 2 170912 EG Local Plan Sustainability Assessment Annex 1 Framework / Cabinet 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 This report sets out the framework for undertaking Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA / SEA) for the Darlington Local Plan. It explains the context, identifies sustainability objectives, and the approach to assessment, identifying relevant environmental, economic and social issues. 1.2 Sustainability is about ensuring that decisions taken now are the right decisions to improve our quality of life, and that of future generations. A Sustainability Appraisal is a technique that allows us to consider how much a plan will contribute to a range of environmental, social and economic factors which contribute to our quality of life. 1.3 The Council is required to carry out sustainability appraisal alongside local plan preparation by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The appraisal also integrates an assessment of the significant environmental effects of the local plan and its reasonable alternatives, a requirement of the EU Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive. It is possible that a Habitats Regulations Assessment1 of the local plan will also be required. If so, its findings will be reflected in this sustainability appraisal work. 1.4 This Framework should ensure that at each key stage of the Local Plan preparation, the Sustainability Appraisal considers all relevant significant environmental, social and economic sustainability issues appropriately.

  • The Way of Life Route
    1 Introduction This guide gives directions for travelling The Way of Life from Gainford to Durham. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 47 kilometres or 29 miles. I have divided the route into 4 sections between 11 and 14 kilometres. This pilgrimage route, along with the Ways of Love, Light and Learning, all lead to the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. This route would have been the closest to St Cuthbert’s final journey in his coffin from Ripon to Durham in 995. He had died over 300 years earlier, but the monks who carried that coffin believed that by his spirit he continued to be alive and to guide them. This is why this route is called the Way of Life. Water is a symbol of life, so it is appropriate that the route begins by a well and a river. Section 1 Gainford to West Auckland 11 km Gainford Gainford is an ancient site. There was a Saxon church here in the 8th century. The presence of St Mary’s Well on the south side of the present church facing the river is significant, because the early Christians often chose and cleansed sites formerly associated with pagan devotion, which often centred on springs or water courses. Fragments of Anglo-Saxon sculpture found inside and around the church are further evidence that an ancient Christian community existed on this site, whilst sculpture combining Northumbrian and Norse motifs reflects subsequent Scandinavian settlement in the region. These sculptures are to be found in the Open Treasure exhibition at Durham Cathedral.

  • Eastern England, 1377-1413
    THE NEVILLES AND THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IN NORTH- EASTERN ENGLAND, 1377-1413 Mark Edward Arvanigian The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without the written consent of the author an information derived from it should be acknowledged. 1 7 JAN 2000 Submitted for the degree of Ph.D., University of Durham, 1998. Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to uncover the nature of landed society in the North- East, and the creation of a new political matrix there from c.1377-1413. It will trace the development of a Lancastrian North-East, and the role played by the Neville family and other members of the region's elite in it. The Nevilles were instrumental in Henry IV's rise to power, and became the focal point of his subsequent efforts to stabilise the North. Much of their influence in later generations was the result of the political successes of Ralph Neville, first earl of Westmorland, and his rise to prominence in this period was the direct result of his Lancastrian associations. His career will therefore be closely considered. However, other members of the North-east's political community also rose to prominence in this period. Most notable among these was Sir Ralph Eure, a Durham knight of considerable ability who became perhaps the most important political figure below comital rank in the region. In overseeing the running of the palatinate of Durham, and holding the office of sheriff and numerous other commissions in the counties of Yorkshire and Northumberland, Eure ensured great continuity and competence in the northern administration, and eased the transition from Ricardian to Lancastrian regimes in this most unstable of regions.

  • Prime Minister Portraits
    Prime Minister Portraits INTRODUCTION In 1975 Master Treasurer, Sir George Baker, was approached by Michael Philips as he wanted to find a home for his set of portraits of British Prime Ministers from Walpole onwards. Mr. Philips had been admitted to the Inn in 1975. His family had collected the portraits over several generations but the Philips family were downsizing from their large home to a cottage and would not have the space for such a large collection. After several letters to both Master Treasurer and the Under Treasurer, Captain Morison, the Executive and Finance Committees decided to accept Mr Philips’ generous offer. It was decided that the portraits should hang in the Library and they arrived late in 1976. The portraits languished in the library loft for at least the next 20 years before it was decided to conserve and hang them. When they were eventually displayed, there were a number of portraits missing including the Earl of Shelburne, Lord Grenville, George Canning, and several twentieth century PMs. Since they went on display it has been the task of the Librarian (previously Keeper of the Library) to request a signed portrait of each new Prime Minister who takes office. It was not until 2012 that a member of the Library and Archive Committee, Lord Hacking, highlighted the missing PMs portraits, and the Members of the Committee and the then Librarian set about trying to complete the collection. One glaring omission was the Duke of Wellington – which was generously donated by Master Wurtzel. In 2017 the portraits’ nameplates were updated with brass tablets.
