  • Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)
    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.

    Life in the Weather-World: Examining an Eighteenth-Century 'Ecological Perspective' Toby Pillatt University of Sheffield, University of East Anglia 113 Richards Road Sheffield S2 3DU 07742 776181 [email protected] Funding This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of its Doctoral Award scheme. Abstract Within archaeology, discussions on climate are usually framed in the broad-scale and long-term, but by using the diaries as rich sources on local environmental and landscape history, it is possible to develop archaeological insights into climate predicated on the everyday human experience of living in the landscape. This article presents a case study of two Quaker diarists, who farmed on the edge of the Lake District in north-west England during the eighteenth century. One of these diarists, Elihu Robinson, had a world view that linked social, natural and religious spheres of action with his compassionate and deeply felt faith. Arguably, this is an example of a Quaker 'ecological perspective' which contributed to an eighteenth-century environmental ethic. By thinking in terms of Tim Ingold's weather-world, it is possible to see how this perspective emerged in relation to the diarists' interactions with weather and landscape. Keywords Cumbria, Eighteenth Century, Landscape, Weather, Diaries, Quaker Introduction In a series of articles published in the 1980s, Donald Brooks Kelley (1982, 1985, 1986) commented on the publications, correspondence and memoirs of five prominent eighteenth-century American Quakers, describing them as harbouring an 'ecological perspective'. The Quakers, he argued, had an overarching cosmology through which they strived to attain 'a divinely orchestrated harmony' that united people with God, themselves, others, and the natural environment (Kelley 1982, 87).
