    Freshwater life Martyn G Kelly, Trevor D Cris, Ben Lamb and Brian Whitton Introduction Without the River Tees there would be no Teesdale and so, whilst much of the attention in this book is focussed on the plant and animal life in the fields and fells, we should not ignore either the river or the numerous tributary streams that feed it. Cow Green Reservoir, too, plays an important part in the story of Upper Teesdale, not just because of the ways in which it has altered the landscape and habitats in the upper valley, but also because the decision to impound the river precipitated many significant ecological studies and, ironically, raised the profile of the Teesdale rarities beyond a small band of botanical cognoscenti. The River Tees was the first British River to receive a detailed biological survey (by Butcher and colleagues in the mid-1930s). This was followed in the 1970s and 1980s by studies of the upper reaches of the main river and its tributaries by Durham University and the Freshwater Biological Association (later Institute of Freshwater Ecology and now Centre for Ecology and Hydrology). Since the previous edition of this book, further studies have investigated a wide range of factors including gravel, heavy metals, availability of salmonid spawning habitat and water colour. The upper tributaries of the Tees range from torrential streams, fed at times of peak flow mainly by surface run-off, to calcareous streams with some or much of their water from limestone springs. Those with the most water from springs are the ones which vary least in flow and have the highest calcium concentrations.

  • Birk Hat, Baldersdale
    Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies University Of Strathclyde Mike Kipling House Étude The Farms at Birk Hat, Baldersdale February 2012 KIPLING.Mike_M3-D4A 02/11/2017 1 1. Introduction There are three farms at Birk Hat(t) in Baldersdale, which is in Romaldkirk parish in the North Riding of Yorkshire (since 1974, County Durham). One of them, Low Birk Hat, came to national prominence in 1973 when its owner, Hannah HAUXWELL, was featured in a Yorkshire Television documentary Too Long a Winter. It showed Hannah running her Pennine farm without assistance, living extremely frugally from a tiny income but yet being serenely content with her lot. Birk Hat is located about 5 miles up Baldersdale at about 1000ft above sea level. The farms of the dale mainly keep cattle in the lower fields and sheep in the higher pastures and moorland. The other two farms are High Birk Hat and West Birk Hat. Birk Hat (Ordnance Survey : Yorkshire 1:10,560 Date: 1856-1857) The farms have a long history. The earliest mention of which I am aware is in the manor rolls of Cotherstone when, in 1526, “John TYNKLER receives one tenement called Byrkhatte 24/- p.a. (fine 5 marks)”.1 An explanation of the name appeared in the Newcastle Journal on 29 November 1856: KIPLING.Mike_M3-D4A 02/11/2017 2 2. The Buildings Today, High Birk Hatt (HBH) is listed grade II and is described as being a farmhouse with barn attached to left and byre to right. It bears the inscription “17 IID 41” on door lintel and has had mid nineteenth century alterations2.

  • The Kiplings of Middleton-In-Teesdale
    The Kiplings of Middleton-in-Teesdale John Kipling In the listing of the pews in the parish church in 1595, John Kipling had a pew in row 8 of the Eggleston allocation (1987 N&D FHS v12, 3). Eggleston is a village in the parish of Middleton. John probably married Agnes Lockey in 1608 at Romaldkirk. Children may have included Margrett (D&VM 1613). Two other sons, Anthony and Charles, were probably both baptised at Barnard Castle in 1615. A Tobias Kipling was baptised at Romaldkirk in 1619, the son of John Kipling of Eggleston. On a 1614 map of the Manor of Egglestone, “Jo’ Kiplins Myllholm meadow: free” can be seen. In 1624, John Kipling of Eggleston was one of those who signed the inventory of Arthur Kipling of Pitcherhouse. John later moved (returned?) to Baldersdale - see ‘17th century Baldersdale Kiplings’ http://kipling.one-name.net/17th%20Century%20Baldersdale%20Kiplings.pdf -----ooooo----- In 1600, William Kipling “late of Bog House” (a farm in Eggleston), yeoman, is named in a court case, suggesting that he had recently moved to Beamish Park, just south of Newcastle. He may be the William Kipling of Newhouses, at that time the eldest son of the tenant John Kipling. Surtees Society -----ooooo----- Two marriages are the first two surviving entries in the Middleton register. It is not known whose daughters these are but they are probably related to Lionel (below), possibly his sisters.

  • 18Th and 19Th Century Baldersdale Kiplings
    18th and 19th Century Baldersdale Kiplings At the start of the 18th century, the Kipling families in Baldersdale were probably as follows (see 17th Century Baldersdale Kiplings): • William and Isabel of Newhouses • His eldest son John and wife Elizabeth at Dalehead (of the Newhouses line) • John and Elizabeth of Blackton • Henry and Anne at Foulsike (of the Dalehead line) • Charles and Elizabeth of Waterknott (1692)/Waybutt (1706) (of the Dalehead line) • John and Elizabeth of Hunderthwaite • Talbot/Tobias of Cotherstone • John of Lartington, widower. • Possibly Anthony and Henry of the Pitcherhouse line • Charles and Anthony of Mickleton. The story of the Newhouses and Pitcherhouse Kiplings are told elsewhere but this note relates the history of the other families. A. Blackton This family consisted of John and Elizabeth Kipling who had had (as far as is known) living children Jane (1687), John (1690), Francis (1693), William (1696) and Anne (1699). Further children were born: Sarah (1702) and Jonathan (1704-04). Son John married Mary Lockey of Hury in June 1716. His mother Elizabeth died the following month. They had children Mary (1716/17, Hury) and John (1718 B). John senior’s daughter Sarah died in 1719 and his son Francis (a bachelor) in 1720. John junior also died in 1720 (he and his brother Francis were buried on successive days in April). John’s widow was appointed to administer his estate. A witness to the administration bond was Tobias Kipling. His inventory totalled £54. Tobias was one of three assessors. A posthumous daughter, Elizabeth, was born to Mary later that year.
