Parish Profile August 2019
Parish Profile August 2019 In plurality with St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe and St. Mary’s, Piercebridge St. Edwin’s, High Coniscliffe All Saints’ Church, Blackwell St. Mary’s, Piercebridge Seeking to Grow God's Kingdom by growing the Church, growing as disciples and growing in service to the parish and beyond. 1 Dear Applicant, Welcome to our parish profile and thank you for taking the time to read it. Our aim is to give you a taste of our Christian Mission through an understanding of our two parishes and their churches. This parish profile brings together two individual yet adjoining parishes on the western fringe of Darlington. It covers the parishes of Blackwell, All Saints’ and Salutation and Coniscliffe, which comprises St Edwin’s and St Mary’s churches. The vacancy has arisen following the departure of our previous Vicar, David Railton, to a new post in the west of Scotland. We are now seeking to appoint a new Vicar to serve both parishes, the two benefices being held in plurality. Whilst each parish has its own individual characteristics, the congregations have much in common. Both have a commitment to the growth of the Church, their own growth as disciples and to service in their community. This commitment is demonstrated as a significant number of members of the combined congregations carry out some kind of voluntary work within their church, participate through the PCC committees and maintain their commitment to planned giving and stewardship. The parishes support a small number of part-time employees whose work underpins our mission to our local communities. -

Subject Guide 1 – Records Relating to Inclosure
Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Subject Guide 1 – Records Relating to Inclosure Issue no. 19 July 2020 Contents Introduction 1 Organisation of List 2 Alphabetical List of Townships 2 A 2 B 2 C 3 D 4 E 4 F 4 G 4 H 5 I 5 K 5 L 5 M 6 N 6 O 6 R 6 S 7 T 7 U 8 W 8 Introduction Inclosure (occasionally spelled “enclosure”) refers to a reorganisation of scattered land holdings by mutual agreement of the owners. Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award. -
County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive. -

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion
ESSOAr | https:/doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10501104.1 | CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0 | First posted online: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 01:27:37 | This content has not been peer reviewed. Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area. -

Healeyfield Parish News Autumn 2020
Autumn 2020 Inside this issue Parish Council News Lockdown Heros Scarecrow winners 75 VE Day As the year nears it's end we thought that we would give you an update on what Healeyfield Parish Council have been up to in the Parish. Although it has been a very difficult year with the COVID-19 crisis, the Parish Council have been able to fulfil most of our usual services to the villages of Castleside and Rowley. Here is a roundup of what we have been doing. The flower tubs throughout the village have been fully planted and cared for. The grass verges have been cut and strimmed twice as usual, albeit a little bit later than normal. The benches throughout the Parish are currently undergoing a repair or replace program, this is continuing. The defibrillator, located at the side of the village hall, was provided by the Parish Council and it is checked weekly by members to ensure that it is in working order. Our usual annual litter pick unfortunately had to be cancelled due to lockdown restrictions, however we plan to hold one as soon as we are able. Although the Annual Autumn Festival also had to be cancelled, we still held our scarecrow competition. This provided a bit of fun not only for the entrants but also for the people walking around having a look at them. The worthy winners are now in receipt of the Scarecrow Cup. The Parish Council are the trustees of the Parish Wood, and members regularly walk through the woods to check everything is as it should be, ensuring that any necessary repairs to stiles and bridges are carried out in a timely manner. -

Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report
Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report December 2017 Front cover. Lidar image of the site of Deerbolt Training Camp, now occupied by Deerbolt Prison, just west of Barnard Castle (Area 1 in this survey). Little if any sign of the First World War camp survives above ground, though earthworks of a contemporary rifle range do survive, and have been recorded on lidar, on the south bank of the Deepdale Beck, to the west. This image demonstrates something of the time-depth of the historic landscape here, with ridge- and-furrow field-systems, some of which date from medieval times, clearly visible. Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Contents Acknowledgements 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. Results 4. Discussion Appendix References 1 Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Acknowledgements First and foremost, thanks are due to the volunteers who undertook the survey work: D Armstrong, Chris and Audrey Battersby, Barbara Chipchase, Paul Cordes, David Donkin, John Goldsborough, and J P Merrington. This report has been written by Project Consultant, Paul Frodsham (ORACLE Heritage Services). The Project Management Team for Durham County Council was Victoria Oxberry (Durham at War Project Officer), Liz Bregazzi (County Archivist) and Nick Boldrini (County Durham Historic Environment Record Officer). 2 Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report 1. Introduction This project was completed as part of Durham County Council’s HLF-funded Durham at War project (www.durhamatwar.org.uk), which works with local volunteers to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. It was designed to serve two purposes. First, to enable volunteers with an interest in landscape archaeology to familiarise themselves with lidar and its use in archaeological survey. -
