Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one. -

Lakeland Life describes my home life in the Lake District from 1954 to 1960 and is paralleled by Sedbergh Schooldays, an account of my time at Sedbergh School in Yorkshire 1955-60. Later volumes will take the story on to Oxford University for six years and beyond. All of the volumes are principally based on contemporary documents, especially letters written by members of the family. This volume is based on several sets of letters, my mother’s to me and to my father (when she was away from him on home leave), my letters to my parents and my sister Fiona’s letters to my parents. -

Heritage Team 4th Floor 100 Parliament Street London SW1A 2BQ T: 020 7211 2018 [email protected] www.gov.uk/dcms 11 November 2016 Dear Ms Bourdin, Thank you for your letter of 17 October requesting further information regarding the nomination of the English Lake District for World Heritage inscription. You have asked for further details concerning proposals for development in the English Lake District and we feel that it would be helpful to preface our response with some explanation of the planning functions and powers of the Lake District National Park Authority, which is the planning authority for the whole of the candidate English Lake District World Heritage site. The English Lake District is an outstanding cultural landscape that has evolved over a long period of time and needs to continue evolving to sustain its future. We have a vibrant community of some 42,000 residents and an economy that is sustained by the key activities of upland hill farming and tourism. These activities inevitably need to develop in order to sustain the local economy and along with other requirements of the Lake District community, they generate planning applications which are determined by the Lake District National Park Authority. UK National Parks have the highest level of planning protection in the UK and the framework for our decision-making is outlined below. BACKGROUND TO THE PLANNING FUNCTION OF UK NATIONAL PARKS UK National Parks were established under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, and amended by the Environment Act 1995, to: conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage (of the National Parks); and promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities (of the National Parks) by the public. -

Beckgate Farmhouse £575,000
BECKGATE FARMHOUSE £575,000 Barbon, The Yorkshire Dales, LA6 2LT The quintessential country cottage. Incredibly charismatic and in an enviable village setting, this is an absolute ‘gem’. This delightful cottage is newly renovated in a gentle and sympathetic manner with great respect for the architectural features and history of this period property. A three storey home has been created offering four bedrooms and three reception rooms. Set within large established gardens of 0.30 acres (0.12 hectares) and enjoying lovely views of Barbon Fell with great parking provision - all in all, it’s a great place to embrace village life in this sought after Lune Valley village. A must see! www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to BECKGATE FARMHOUSE £575,000 Barbon, The Yorkshire Dales, LA6 2LT There's no doubt about it, this is an utterly charming and beguiling country cottage. Offering well proportioned living space, period character features and a cracking village location. We’re hard pressed to choose our favourite thing, so here’s our (not so) short list for you to mull over… • For starters, this is indeed a rare opportunity - on the open market for the first time in over 60 years, the current owners bought the house privately last year and have carried out an extensive and truly sympathetic renovation programme (this included a new roof, a new heating and plumbing system, complete rewiring, newly plastered walls and ceilings amongst other things). They consciously introduced reclaimed materials as opposed to buying ‘new’ to enhance the period charm (the wooden kitchen floor, slate worktops and earthenware sink are great examples of this) and overhauled other elements (such as the sash windows, oak beams and lintels, oak and pine boarded doors) rather than imposing new on the structure. -

Full Proposal for Establishing a New Unitary Authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland
Full proposal for establishing a new unitary authority for Barrow, Lancaster and South Lakeland December 2020 The Bay Council and North Cumbria Council Proposal by Barrow Borough Council, Lancaster City Council and South Lakeland District Council Foreword Dear Secretary of State, Our proposals for unitary local government in the Bay would build on existing momentum and the excellent working relationships already in place across the three district Councils in the Bay area. Together, we can help you deliver a sustainable and resilient local government solution in this area that delivers priority services and empowers communities. In line with your invitation, and statutory guidance, we are submitting a Type C proposal for the Bay area which comprises the geographies of Barrow, Lancaster Cllr Ann Thomson Sam Plum and South Lakeland councils and the respective areas of the county councils of Leader of the Council Chief Executive Cumbria and Lancashire. This is a credible geography, home to nearly 320,000 Barrow Borough Council Barrow Borough Council people, most of whom live and work in the area we represent. Having taken into account the impact of our proposal on other local boundaries and geographies, we believe creating The Bay Council makes a unitary local settlement for the remainder of Cumbria more viable and supports consideration of future options in Lancashire. Partners, particularly the health service would welcome alignment with their footprint and even stronger partnership working. Initial discussions with the Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Officers and lead member for Fire and Cllr Dr Erica Lewis Kieran Keane Rescue did not identify any insurmountable barriers, whilst recognising the need Leader of the Council Chief Executive for further consultation. -
Bowness Promenade, Cockshott Point, Claife Viewing Station, Red Nab 3 Hours 8 Miles
Bowness Promenade, Cockshott Point, Claife Viewing Station, Red Nab 3 hours 8 miles Turn right out of Ivythwaite’s front gate. Walk to the end of Prince’s Road, past Chestnuts Guest House and turn left into Lake Road with the Baddeley Clock and public toilets to your right. The clock tower marks the division between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, and was built as a memorial to Mountford John Byrde Baddeley (1843 - 1906) who wrote a series of well-regarded Windermere walking guides. Lake Road turns into New Road. Continue straight ahead, downhill, past the Church of Our Lady of Windermere and St Herbert. Go straight on at the turning into Queens Drive to your left, Goodley Dale primary school on the right and the police station on the left. Continue downhill past Craig Manor Hotel on the right and Beresford’s restaurant and bar on the left with views of Lake Windermere in the distance. Continue steeply downhill into Bowness village centre, past Ash Street with its excellent range of bars and restaurants on the left. When you reach the roundabout, go straight on and follow the road as it bears to the left past Mountain Warehouse on the right and Vinegar Jones chip shop on the left. Ignore the turning to the left to Kendal, and follow the road as it bears to the right. You will shortly reach the promenade on the shore of the lake P1, with Windermere Boat Hire and Windermere Lake Cruises offering options to explore the lake. Turn right into Glebe Road at the Tourist Information Centre and enjoy stunning views of the northern half of Lake Windermere with the high fells of the Langdales in the distance.
