Annual Report and Accounts 2014 Report and accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster for the year ended 31 March 2014 The Duchy of Lancaster Annual Report 2014 The Duchy seeks to achieve a balance between long-term commitments to the environment, social responsibility, and commercial objectives. This approach helps to protect the interests of those individuals living in, working on and visiting the Duchy’s land and buildings while safeguarding the estate for future generations. I would like to welcome Nathan Thompson who joined the Duchy as Chief Executive Officer in 2013. Nathan has a wealth of experience in senior property roles and will certainly make a very valuable contribution. I would also like to thank both Council and all the Duchy staff for their continued loyalty, hard work and enthusiasm over the year.

  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.

  • Sources for the Study of Local History
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone 03000 267619 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk SUBJECT GUIDE 2 : SOURCES FOR THE STUDY OF LOCAL HISTORY Issue 8 March 2012 This leaflet describes some of the resources available for the study of local history in the Durham County Record Office, and it is geared specifically to County Durham's history and historical materials. Durham's history and records are, in many ways, unlike those of most English counties. The most obvious distinctive feature of its history is that, until 1836, the Prince Bishop exercised powers in the County Palatine much greater than those of the authorities in other counties. Another feature of County Durham's history which should be taken into account is the influence wielded by the Dean and Chapter of Durham through its extensive ownership of land and consequent participation in the development of the coal industry. The third significant characteristic of Durham's history is the rise and decline of the coalfield itself. These three features of the history of the county have also meant that the bodies responsible for the preservation of its records are unusually diverse: the records of the Palatinate are in London at The National Archives, those of the Bishopric and Dean and Chapter are cared for by the Archives and Special Collections Section of the University of Durham Library and the Durham County Record Office holds other local records. It is intended in this leaflet to describe only those records held in the County Record Office which are relevant to the study of the most usually researched topics.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves!
