  • Keswick – Crow Park – Derwent Water North Lakes, CA12 5DJ
    Keswick – Crow Park – Derwent Water North Lakes, CA12 5DJ Trust New Art: Socially engaged artist residency Artists’ Brief: The view down Derwent Water and Borrowdale from Crow Park Summary of initial ideas and themes: Crow Park was one of the original c1750 of Thomas West’s Lake District “Viewing Stations” and still boasts classic panoramic 360 views across the town towards Skiddaw and Blencathra, and across Derwent water to Catbells, Newlands and the Jaws of Borrowdale. 125 years ago the local vicar in Keswick, Hardwicke Rawnsley, along with his wife and other local people campaigned to secure the Lakes for a much wider constituency of people to enjoy: the vision was that the Lakes were a “national property”, and led to the creation of a “National” Trust, eventually a National Park in the Lakes and finally a “World” Heritage Site. What has been the impact of this vision on the local community, and especially on how they feel about the places on their doorstep, their home turf? And how can we ensure that they remain at the heart of this landscape in terms of feeling a stake in its use, enjoyment, protection, and plans for its future. What we want to achieve: We want to work with artists alongside community consultation to explore what people need from the places we care for NOW and in the future, and how that is different (if it is) from why they came into our care in the first place. In collaboration with our audiences, local partners and arts organisations we will creatively explore alternative visions of the future of this area and test ideas at Crow Park through events and installations working within the leave no physical trace philosophy.

  • Why Places Matter to People Research Report
    Why places matter to people Research report Visitors at the 2018 Kite Festival at Downhill Demesne and Hezlett House, County Londonderry ©National Trust Images/Chris Lacey Contents I. Foreword 5 II. Executive summary 6 III. Background 10 IV. Results 14 V. Conclusion 32 VI. Appendix 34 2 3 I. Foreward I. Foreword In 1895, the National Trust was founded by Octavia Hill, Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley. They set out with the aim of preserving our nation’s heritage and open spaces for everyone to enjoy forever, based on their belief of the value of these places for fulling a human need in us all. ‘The need of quiet, the need of air, and I believe the sight of sky and of things growing, seem human needs, common to all.’ Octavia Hill, 1888 124 years since it was founded, National Trust memberships are at an all-time high, so it seems that the benefit of places to people is just as important today as it was in 1895. What are the places that make us feel we belong? Why does this relationship exist between people and places? And what are the benefits of having these deep-rooted emotional connections with a place? These are all questions to which we aim to find answers in this report. Visitors at Corfe Castle, Dorset Working with leading researchers at Walnut Unlimited, we have ©National Trust Images/John Millar looked at the importance of people having a deep connection to a ‘special place’, and how that influences the factors that have been proven to influence wellbeing: to connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and to give.

  • CIHS April 2015
    Industry and the Arts in Cumbria Saturday, 18th April 2015 Who's Who at the Conference John Ruskin [1819-1900] had a love of Lakeland as intense as his loathing of most aspects of modern industry. With Wordsworth he resisted the intrusion of railways, shuddered at the prospect of the “lower orders seeing Helvellyn while drunk” and of Manchester turning Thirlmere into a reservoir. While he found much to criticise in the dehumanising effects and avaricious attitudes accompanying mechanised industry, Ruskin had a profound influence on the emergence in Cumbria of a cluster of manufacturing enterprises where the machine was subordinated to hand labour and nature was taken as the chief inspiration for design. Stephen Wildman is Professor of the History of Art at Lancaster University and Director of its Ruskin Library and Research Centre. He has an impressive list of publications to his name and is widely sought after as a lecturer. His Conference talk will explore Ruskin's role in stimulating the moral and philosophical climate that encouraged and sustained the several communities of painters, carvers, furniture makers, metal and textile workers that were distinctive in the Cumbria of the mid- nineteenth century and were precursors to the main flowering of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Keswick School of Industrial Arts began in 1884 as an evening class in repousé metalwork arranged by Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley and his wife Edith at the Crosthwaite Parish Rooms. Rawnsley had felt the influence of Ruskin while at Oxford and set about giving practical effect to his teachings “to counteract the pernicious effect of turning men into machines .

  • A Strongly Marked Personality’: the Discursive and Non-Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter
    ‘A Strongly Marked Personality’: The Discursive and Non-Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter Sofie Vriends 4116178 Radboud Universiteit MA Engelstalige Letterkunde Dr. Dennis Kersten 15 June 2015 Vriends 2 MASTER ENGELSTALIGE LETTERKUNDE Teacher who will receive this document: Dr. Dennis Kersten Title of document: ‘A Strongly Marked Personality’: The Discursive and Non- Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter Name of course: Masterscriptie Engelstalige Letterkunde Date of submission: 15 June 2015 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Sofie Vriends Student number: 4116178 Vriends 3 Abstract Beatrix Potter is voornamelijk bekend om haar verhalen over het ondeugende konijn Peter Rabbit en zijn vrienden. Daarnaast heeft Potter veel geschreven over fungi. Er is echter nog niet veel onderzoek gedaan naar hoe zij zichzelf neerzette als een schrijfster. Er zijn genoeg biografieën over haar te vinden en collecties van door haar geschreven brieven gepubliceerd. In deze scriptie is onderzocht hoe Beatrix Potter zichzelf als auteur presenteert. De focus ligt hier op drie verschillende onderdelen: haar gedrag als auteur in het literaire veld, de persoon die naar voren komt in haar brieven en de schrijfster die spreekt in haar kinderverhalen. De theorie die in deze scriptie zowel als ordeningsmodel als analysemodel is gebruikt, is de theorie van Jérôme Meizoz. Hij noemt de houding en presentatie van de auteur het postuur en legt uit dat het postuur bepaald wordt door zowel de auteur als het publiek. Deze scriptie belicht echter één kant van dit verhaal: hoe Beatrix Potter haar postuur heeft geconstrueerd.

  • The Romantic Lakes: from Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter
    11 DECEMBER 2018 The Romantic Lakes: From Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter PROFESSOR SIR JONATHAN BATE FBA CBE In 1726 Daniel Defoe published the third volume of A Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain. He had begun the project four years earlier, describing a series of journeys, purportedly eyewitness accounts of the state of the nation from the pen of a man who could be described as the first modern journalist. There is in fact some uncertainty as to whether he undertook all the tours himself – some of his reports appear to be second-hand. But whether his source was his eyes, his ears or his reading, Defoe was unequivocal in his attitude to the English Lake District. He pronounced Westmorland to be ‘a country [county] eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even in Wales it self’. Worse even than Wales: imagine! ‘The west side, which borders on Cumberland,’ he continued, ‘is indeed bounded by a chain of almost unpassable mountains which, in the language of the country, are called Fells’. There is, says Defoe, but one word to sum up the landscape: ‘horror’. These Lakeland fells, he writes, have ‘no rich pleasant valleys between them, as among the Alps; no lead mines and veins of rich ore, as in the Peak; no coal pits, as in the hills about Hallifax, much less gold, as in the Andes, but all barren and wild, of no use or advantage either to man or beast’.1 Note those terms use and advantage: Defoe was a man who believed in what we would now call the bourgeois or capitalist idea of getting on in the world, whether that meant mining for lead, coal and gold, or building a shelter and a fledgling economy like his Robinson Crusoe, or using your sex appeal to survive in a patriarchal society like his Moll Flanders.
