    (Lancashire North of the Sands), No Religious House Arose In

    AN INTRODUCTION TO THE RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF CUMBRIA In Furness, (Lancashire north of the sands), no religious house arose in the poor and remote districts which in the twelfth century became the county of Lancaster, until nearly thirty years after the Norman Conquest. Of the three Cistercian houses Furness was the earliest, having been founded at Tulketh near Preston in 1124, and removed to Furness in 1127; There were two houses of Austin Canons; the priory of Conishead was founded (at first as a hospital) before 1181, the priory of Cartmel about 1190. Furness and Cartmel, exercised feudal lordship over wide tracts of country. Furness naturally resented the foundation of Conishead so close to itself, and on land under its own lordship, but the quarrel was soon composed. In Cumberland, within a comparatively small area, six monastic foundations carried on their work with varying success for almost four centuries. Four of these houses were close to the border, and suffered much during the long period of hostility between the two kingdoms. The priories of Carlisle and Lanercost, separated only by some 10 miles, were of the Augustinian order; the abbeys of Holmcultram and Calder, between which there seems to have been little communication, were of the Cistercian; and the priories of Wetheral and St. Bees were cells of the great Benedictine abbey of St. Mary, York Detailed accounts of all the monastic houses in the former counties of Cumberland and Lancashire appeared in the introductory volumes of the original Victoria County Histories of the two counties, published in 1905 and 1908 respectively.

    Hawcoat Health Profile

    Hawcoat This resource gives an overview of the health profile for wards within Hawcoat. Inequalities in people’s experience of health still present significant challenges in Cumbria, with people in the most affluent areas living up to 20 years longer than those in more disadvantaged circumstances. These unfair and avoidable differences in health between social groups are what we mean by health inequalities. In Cumbria there are a number of areas of concern, including; Relatively large numbers of people living in housing that is in poor condition High levels of fuel poverty A low proportion of the workforce educated to degree level or higher Low employment levels amongst people with disabilities On average men in Cumbria lose 10 months of life, and women 4.5 months, directly attributable to alcohol 50-60 suicides each year. Ward profiles Administrative geographies – and particularly wards – have traditionally been used for collecting and publishing statistics. Wards are well-established and, unlike Electoral Divisions, they will not change. Ward profiles enable us to gain a deeper understanding or the differences in health status between areas. % of Electoral Division's Electoral Division Wards in Electoral Division Population that fall within the Ward Hawcoat Hawcoat 77.5 Newbarns 22.5 The below data, as well as insights you gain from talking with communities and through working with community groups, are invaluable in gaining an understanding of the health needs and priority in that community.

    Jubilee Digest Briefing Note for Cartmel and Furness

    Furness Peninsula Department of History, Lancaster University Victoria County History: Cumbria Project ‘Jubilee Digests’ Briefing Note for Furness Peninsula In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Queen has decided to re-dedicate the VCH. To mark this occasion, we aim to have produced a set of historical data for every community in Cumbria by the end of 2012. These summaries, which we are calling ‘Jubilee Digests’, will be posted on the Cumbria County History Trust’s website where they will form an important resource as a quick reference guide for all interested in the county’s history. We hope that all VCH volunteers will wish to get involved and to contribute to this. What we need volunteers to do is gather a set of historical facts for each of the places for which separate VCH articles will eventually be written: that’s around 315 parishes/townships in Cumberland and Westmorland, a further 30 in Furness and Cartmel, together with three more for Sedbergh, Garsdale and Dent. The data included in the digests, which will be essential to writing future VCH parish/township articles, will be gathered from a limited set of specified sources. In this way, the Digests will build on the substantial progress volunteers have already made during 2011 in gathering specific information about institutions in parishes and townships throughout Cumberland and Westmorland. As with all VCH work, high standards of accuracy and systematic research are vital. Each ‘Jubilee Digest’ will contain the following and will cover a community’s history from the earliest times to the present day: Name of place: status (i.e.

South Cumbria Low Fells Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper 1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are North areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines East in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape England our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics London and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
  • The Emergence of the Cumbrian Kingdom

    The Emergence of the Cumbrian Kingdom

    The emergence and transformation of medieval Cumbria The Cumbrian kingdom is one of the more shadowy polities of early medieval northern Britain.1 Our understanding of the kingdom’s history is hampered by the patchiness of the source material, and the few texts that shed light on the region have proved difficult to interpret. A particular point of debate is the interpretation of the terms ‘Strathclyde’ and ‘Cumbria’, a matter that has periodically drawn comment since the 1960s. Some scholars propose that the terms were applied interchangeably to the same polity, which stretched from Clydesdale to the Lake District. Others argue that the terms applied to different territories: Strathclyde was focused on the Clyde Valley whereas Cumbria/Cumberland was located to the south of the Solway. The debate has significant implications for our understanding of the extent of the kingdom(s) of Strathclyde/Cumbria, which in turn affects our understanding of politics across tenth- and eleventh-century northern Britain. It is therefore worth revisiting the matter in this article, and I shall put forward an interpretation that escapes from the dichotomy that has influenced earlier scholarship. I shall argue that the polities known as ‘Strathclyde’ and ‘Cumbria’ were connected but not entirely synonymous: one evolved into the other. In my view, this terminological development was prompted by the expansion of the kingdom of Strathclyde beyond Clydesdale. This reassessment is timely because scholars have recently been considering the evolution of Cumbrian identity across a much longer time-period. In 1974 the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland were joined to Lancashire-North-of the-Sands and part of the West Riding of Yorkshire to create the larger county of Cumbria.

BEYSON. Hawkhill,' Edinburgh. THE FALCONER MEMORIAL.—At a meeting held in London on the 25th of February, Sir Proby T. Cautley, K.C.B., in the chair, it was resolved to record the great loss sustained by Science in the early death of the late Dr. Hugh Falconer, and to perpetuate his name as a Naturalist and a Scholar by a suitable Memorial. It was unani- mously resolved that this Memorial should include a Marble Bust, to be placed in the rooms of one of the Scientific Societies, or else- where, in London, as might be determined. One of the objects in which the late Dr. Falconer took deep interest, up to the latest hour of Iiis life, was the foundation of Fellowships or Scholarships in the University of Edinburgh, to enable deserving students to prolong their studies beyond the usual academical period. It was therefore further resolved to collect funds for the purpose of founding, in that University, a Fellowship or Scholarship in Natural Science, tenable for a limited term of years, and to be called ' The Falconer Fellow- ship ' or ' Scholarship.' The Presidents of the Royal, Linnean, Geological, Geographical, and Ethnological Societies, and many other friends and admirers of Dr. Falconer, have formed a Committee for promoting the objects of the ' Falconer Memorial.'

    BOROUGH OF BARROW-IN-FURNESS LOCAL PLAN REVIEW 1996-2006 HOUSING CHAPTER ALTERATION 2006 BOROUGH OF BARROW-IN-FURNESS LOCAL PLAN REVIEW 1996-2006 HOUSING CHAPTER ALTERATION 2006 Adopted 2 June 2006 Director of Regeneration Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council Town Hall Duke Street Barrow in Furness Cumbria LA14 2LD Contact: Local Development Framework Officer (01229) 894249 Email: [email protected] FOREWORD The Borough of Barrow-in-Furness Local Plan Review (1996-2006) is a statutory document prepared by the Borough Council to set out its policies guiding the development and use of land for the period up to 2006. Adopted, together with the County’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan and the Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan and the Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Documents of the new Local Development Framework, these form the statutory Development Plan for the area. There are also national guidelines in relation to planning issues that the Local Plan must interpret into local policy. At the time the plan was being written, the Government were in the process of revising the national planning guidance in relation to housing, ‘Planning Policy Guidance Note 3’. To keep the plan up to date the Borough Council resolved to alter the Housing Chapter to bring it up to date with this guidance. As a result of the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Local Plan Review, and the Housing Chapter Alteration once adopted, will be saved for the period set out below, or until they are revoked or replaced by the documents in the Local Development Framework.
