In mediaeval times, the clergy, monks and canons sang the eight daily offices standing in their stalls. By the tenth century the stalls were partly enclosed with wooden sides and backs to protect the occupants from the cold and draughts of an unheated building. The word "stall" means a place to stand. We still use the term in "cattle stalls". Although fold-up seats were introduced in the eleventh century, these could be used only for the Epistle and Gradual at Mass and the Responses at Vespers. By the twelfth century, small ledges on the undersides of seats were referred to as indulgences, or in Latin misericordia, meaning acts of mercy.

  • Dinantian Igneous Rocks of the Peak
    th JULY 10 2018 Tuesday Dinantian Igneous Rocks of the Derbyshire Peak District with Adrian Legg ( Member). Industrial Theme – lime, roadstone and railway ballast 12 of us met Adrian at the Peak District National Park car park in Tideswell Dale, on one of our rare meetings out of the county, on a beautiful July day. For those of us travelling over Holme Moss, the journey itself was a worthwhile day out whilst looking forward to seeing igneous rocks which are so rare in Yorkshire Although the Derbyshire Peak District is known for its classic Carboniferous limestone scenery Adrian had spent time researching dolerite, lava and volcanic ash outcrops in the scenic area of Tideswell Dale and Miller’s Dale and very ably explained and demonstrated these to us. We started with a dolerite boulder in the car park, which itself sits on dolerite within an old quarry with a substantial dolerite sill in the trees above us and then by ascending a short way we approached the huge Tideswell Dale Quarry with it’s 30m deep sill face to be examined. All this material was excavated and used for rail ballast and roadstone. We continued down the Dale and alongside the River Wye to Miller’s Dale and ascended to the Station on the abandoned railway now used by walkers and cyclists being on the Monsal Trail where we had lunch in whatever shade we could find. Adrian showed us a further quarry just west of the station before heading across the major viaduct and past an industrial lime kiln beside the railway, being another industrial use of the geology of the area, before reaching our final point of geological interest in a railway cutting before Litton Mill.

  • Field Trip Narrative with Photos
    U3A Naturalists’ Field Trip to Derbyshire 8-12 June 2015 Group outside the hotel 30 members of our group set out from Harrogate for our first venue which was Potteric Carr Nature Reserve run by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust near Doncaster, where various guides escorted us around the large reserve which has a variety of habitats ranging from lagoons to woodland. We then continued to Dovedale in Derbyshire where we stayed in the Holiday Fellow- ship Centre there. Unlike previous years when we had the venue to ourselves, we were sharing with other groups each following a different pursuit. It also meant that we shared tables at meal times and could join in a variety of evening activities such as country dancing which proved to be quite popular with some members. We explored Dovedale itself the following day and began by climbing Thorpe Cloud just behind the hotel for the magnificent views from the top. Dovedale is set amidst limestone scenery and is part of ‘The White Peak’. We enjoyed a day of examining the flora and tree species inhabiting the dale and some of us extended the walk and returned via a fairly ‘ adventurous’ route on a higher path to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Wednesday took us to Lathkill Dale – a beautiful On top of Thorpe Cloud valley with a crystal clear stream running through it and remnants of industrial archaeology where an innovative system of water pipes helped provide a constant supply of water to the surrounding area. Further up the dale we found a unique location for the attractive ‘ Jacob’s Ladder’ ( Polemonium caeruleum).

    LONG DISTANCE WALKERS ASSOCIATION AIM: TO FURTHER THE INTERESTS OF THOSE WHO ENJOY LONG DISTANCE WALKING BEDS, BUCKS & NORTHANTS GROUP NEWSLETTER AUTUMN 2017 HAVE A GREAT DAY OUT, WALK WITH BBN www.ldwa.org.uk/bedsbucksandnorthants NEW MEMBERS A very warm welcome to our new members Matthew Lane and David Trew, and welcome back Judy Nickerson. CHAIRMAN’S CHATTER A picture is worth a thousand words (Who sang that? There’s a question for you). Our very own Steve Clark supplied the front cover picture for the August Strider which summed up the sheer exuberance of youth and the joy of taking part in the annual 48 hour non-stop party also known as the LDWA North York Moors 100. Steve was telling us at a party hosted by his “mate Eamsie” that he asked the woman concerned Sharon Sullivan to do this 3 or 4 times. She was only too happy to oblige! Steve reached a big birthday recently and I was very pleased to meet him, Sylvie, his sister Barbara and Cap’n Betty Sherry on their Canal Boat Trip at The Plough on the day concerned. As Steve is doing The Annapurna Sanctuary in December we can expect lots of photos on his website. Speaking of social media affairs, the BBN Facebook group continues to go from strength to strength ably marshalled by Daniel and Gill with them readily accepting new members. As we are now a public group anyone can see what we do for fun on Thursdays, Sundays, and occasionally Saturdays. The other days we’ll leave to their imagination! The photographs are continually updated and show what a varied walks programme we have.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
