We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch.

  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

The Clerk was requested to contact the police to request that in the event of a similar incident that a more suitable diversion route be considered where possible. A large amount of debris had been left on the highway on the road from Low Wood Nook towards Blennerhasset.

It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

  • Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft
    Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft Submitted document including the Council’s proposed modifications February 2014 Foreword To meet the needs of Allerdale’s communities we need a plan that provides for new jobs to diversify and grow our economy and new homes for our existing and future population whilst balancing the need to protect the natural and built environment. This document, which covers the area outside the National Park, forms the first part of the Allerdale Local Plan and contains the Core Strategy and Development Management policies. It sets a clear vision, for the next 15 years, for how new development can address the challenges we face. The Core Strategy will guide other documents in the Allerdale Local Plan, in particular the site allocations which will form the second part of the plan. This document is the culmination of a great deal of public consultation over recent years, and extensive evidence gathering by the Council. The policies in the Plan will shape Allerdale in the future, helping to deliver sustainable economic development, jobs and much needed affordable housing for our communities. The Council considers this to be the most appropriate plan to take forward to be submitted to the Secretary of State for public examination by an inspector. However, before submitting this document we are asking the public and stakeholders to consider and submit comments on the soundness of the document. The Plan and associated documents, including guidance on how to submit your comments can be viewed at www.allerdale.gov.uk/localplan and at Council offices.

There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924104091685 CUMBERLAND PARISH REGISTERS. riDarriaQee. PHILLIMORES PARISH REGISTER SERIES. VOL. CLXVI. (CUMBERLAND, VOL. II.) One hundred and fifty printed Cumberland Parish Registers. (TDarriaoea Edited by W. P. W. PHILLIMORE, M.A., B.C.L., AND C. W. RUSTON-HARRISON. VOL. II. XonOon : Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd. 124, Chancery Lane. 1912. X '% PREFACE. The second volume of the Marriage Registers of Cumber- land, containing the records of four parishes, is now placed in the hands of the subscribers, and the Editors hope to continue this series until all the Registers of the County have been printed down to the year 1837, when Civil Registration began. The entries are printed in abstract form as before, and the same contractions are used as in the previous volume. It must be borne in mind that the existing early Registers are themselves but transcripts, made under the order of Elizabeth in 1597, from the original paper Registers. Both the first and second volumes have been issued with the approval and support of the Cumberland and Westmor- land Archaeological Society, which indeed has subscribed for thirty copies of each, though the Editors regret to say that it is uncertain whether this practical aid will be continued. They understand that a proposal has been put forward for the issue of a fresh series under local auspices, but in view of these two volumes for Cumberland having been printed as part of a larger and long established series for a great part of England, they feel in justice to the interests of their general subscribers that the present marriage series ought to be continued.

  • The Past People of Allerdale
    The Past People of Allerdale nd 2 Edition Cockermouth Cemetery from the Lorton Road gates Tales and stories of the interesting and famous people of Allerdale complied and produced by Bereavement Services, Allerdale Borough Council Contents Page 1 Contents Chapter Page Preface 2 Cemeteries of Allerdale 3 The Workhouse 9 Silloth R.A.F 14 People of Silloth 16 People of Cockermouth 23 People of Maryport 44 People of Workington 60 People of Wigton 86 People of Aspatria 96 People of Keswick 98 People of Allerdale and the Surrounding Area 108 Bibliography 122 The Past People of Allerdale Page 1 Preface Page 2 Preface Throughout the years the area covered by Allerdale Borough Council had produced a remarkable number and variety of people of note, from famous scientists to sailors, wrestlers to witches and poets to cavemen. The following booklet not only contains information on famous residents such as William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian, but also people of local interest, perhaps not known to people outside their own town or village. Also included are a few rather more weird and disturbing stories involving murder, witchcraft, poisoning, disease and ghosts. If possible the place of burial of the people researched has been found, with the intention for the reader to walk around the local cemeteries, and find the graves while reading the story behind the headstone. If the burial place isn’t stated below the persons name it means it couldn’t be found in the registers, and the person must be buried elsewhere. At the end of each person’s brief biography, a “story” from the “Cumberland Chronicle” has been included, with all the stories being between 1777 and 1779.

  • Cumbria Eden Flood History 2013
    Cumbria Eden flood history 2013 Sources Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The main source for this study has been from newspaper accounts. Newspaper Sources Newspaper descriptions include much that is of human interest but only limited information which can be used to define the magnitude of the flood. It is only the latter information which has been extracted for the most part, indicating levels or depths on roads and buildings which may still be identifiable. Such details provide a means of assessing the comparative magnitude of floods. The two principal urban areas within the Eden catchment which are vulnerable to flooding are Appleby and Carlisle. Papers which cover part of Cumbria include: Cumberland Packet (Whitehaven) 1774 to 1915, Carlisle Journal, 1801 to 1960s, Carlisle Patriot (later Cumberland News) 1815 to present Penrith Observer, 1860 onward West Cumberland Times(Workington) 1874 onward Westmoreland Gazette (Kendal) 1818 onward The online British Newspaper Archive has a limited number of newspapers and years of record available for Cumbria. The following were available in May 2015. Cumberland and Westmorland Advertiser, and Penrith Literary Chronicle – 1855 – 1871 Cumberland Pacquet, and Ware’s Whitehaven Advertiser – 1777– 1808, 1812 – 1871 Westmorland Gazette 1818- 1867, 1871 Kendal Mercury 1835 - 1870 Carlisle Journal 1801-1805, 1810-1811, 1814-1815, 1818-1820, 1833 - 1867 Carlisle Patriot 1816-1871 Note for later papers Lancaster Gazette 1870-1893 Lancashire Evening Post (based in Preston) 1886 – 1909, 1917 – 1921, 1924, 1929, 1930 - 1947 Descriptions are generally imprecise and without details of levels reached or the extent of the area flooded.
