At the time of her death Miss Armstrong was the Assistant Private Secretary of Mr George W Rendell, till recently British Minister in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. She was a native of Canonbie, and came with her parents about three years ago to live at 24 Scotland Road, Stanwix. She received her business training at the Carlisle Gregg School, where she made herself very popular, being known to her intimates as “Terry.” Her abilities and industry resulted in a short but brilliant career, and after her training in the City Treasurer’s Office, she left Carlisle to take up a secretarial appointment. Similar appointments followed, till her success in a competitive examination secured her a post on the staff of the International Labour Office of the League of Nations. Twelve months ago she received her important appointment with Mr Rendell. In Geneva she stayed with a French family, and spoke their language like a native. She was also a fluent speaker of German, and had some knowledge of Spanish. Horse riding as well as walking was one of her favourite pastimes. Her short leaves – too short to enable her to visit her home in Carlisle – were spent at Athens and other resorts on the Continent, some of her travelling being done by air. When at home she was keen on tramping and climbing in the Lake District. She was thirty years of age. She is survived by her mother, three sisters and a brother, with whom the deepest sympathy is felt.

  • Moffat Academy Newsletter
    Moffat Academy Newsletter Summer 2019 Introduction Dear Parent/Carer Although the weather was certainly changeable over the holidays, I hope you all enjoyed this precious time with your children. The school is always very quiet when they are not in, so I was delighted to welcome them and the buzz they create last Wednesday. They all appear to have settled well and I am sure they will be enjoying getting to know their new teachers and making some new friends. We have enrolled a number of new pupils in our school and I would like to extend a warm welcome to them and their families. Exam Results Congratulations to all our senior pupils who received their exam results during the holidays. The examination picture across our entire senior phase was particularly strong. Our S4 pupils broke school records with 70% achieving 5 or more National 5 qualifications. Yet again, our statistics compare favourably with schools across the authority. There were some outstanding individual performances and these children should be commended. However, there are some pupils who may be feeling disappointed. Our message for them is to regroup, come and seek advice and work hard during this coming year to achieve all they possibly can. The excellent results across our senior phase is testament not only to the hard work of our pupils but also the dedication and commitment of our staff team. We are very fortunate that staff go above and beyond to ensure that our young people achieve all they are capable of. Staffing There has been a number of changes to our staffing to start the new academic session.

Winkworth Date of draft: January 2013 KIRKANDREWS ON ESK: INTRODUCTION1 1. Description and location Kirkandrews on Esk is a large rural, sparsely populated parish in the north west of Cumbria bordering on Scotland. It extends nearly 10 miles in a north-east direction from the Solway Firth, with an average breadth of 3 miles. It comprised 10,891 acres (4,407 ha) in 1864 2 and 11,124 acres (4,502 ha) in 1938. 3 Originally part of the barony of Liddel, its history is closely linked with the neighbouring parish of Arthuret. The nearest town is Longtown (just across the River Esk in Arthuret parish). Kirkandrews on Esk, named after the church of St. Andrews 4, lies about 11 miles north of Carlisle. This parish is separated from Scotland by the rivers Sark and Liddel as well as the Scotsdike, a mound of earth erected in 1552 to divide the English Debatable lands from the Scottish. It is bounded on the south and east by Arthuret and Rockcliffe parishes and on the north east by Nicholforest, formerly a chapelry within Kirkandrews which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1744. The border with Arthuret is marked by the River Esk and the Carwinley burn. 1 The author thanks the following for their assistance during the preparation of this article: Ian Winkworth, Richard Brockington, William Bundred, Chairman of Kirkandrews Parish Council, Gillian Massiah, publicity officer Kirkandrews on Esk church, Ivor Gray and local residents of Kirkandrews on Esk, David Grisenthwaite for his detailed information on buses in this parish; David Bowcock, Tom Robson and the staff of Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle; Stephen White at Carlisle Central Library.

Tombstone lettering in Dumfries and Galloway George Thomson* ABSTRACT A comprehensive and detailed survey was made of lettering on all accessible tombstone inscriptions in Dumfries and Galloway. Using statistical and other analytical techniques, a large amount of data was extracted. From this, comparisons were made with data from the author’s previous study of inscriptional lettering throughout Scotland. The distributions of a number of letterform attributes were mapped, in some instances revealing clear geographical trends. The interesting subregional groupings in Dumfries and Galloway identified in the initial national survey were confirmed when the comprehensive data were used, though the distinctions were not so clear-cut. The rise of three more or less distinct area profiles identified using 42 letterform attributes is likened to the development of a dialect or accent, not learned by imitation, but subconsciously acquired as a consequence of living in local divergent communities.

    Schedule of Decisions Control of Development and Advertisements The Development Control Committee received and considered the following applications: Item no: 01 Appn Ref No: Applicant: Parish: 18/0388 Mr Ian Murray Carlisle Date of Receipt: Agent: Ward: 25/04/2018 08:01:58 Botcherby Location: Grid Reference: Land adjacent Geltsdale Avenue, Durranhill, 342746 555199 Carlisle, CA1 2RL Proposal: Proposed New Vehicle and Pedestrian Entrance Refuse Permission 1. The proposed access would result in additional vehicle movements onto and leaving Durranhill Road to access and egress the site in close proximity to the existing junction and traffic calming measure therefore having a detrimental impact on the safety of users of the highway. The development would require additional movements within the site to allow vehicles to turn around with the site and leave in a forward direction that would be further detrimental to the well-being of the trees within the site through further compaction of the ground. There is no proven need for the access and maintenance could be achieved by other means. Accordingly, the proposal is therefore contrary to paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy SP1 (Sustainable Development) of The Carlisle District Local Plan 2015-2030.
