William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development Of
William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development of the Architectural Profession in North-East England Richard Pears A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the emergence of the professional architect in the provinces of eighteenth-century Britain, drawing upon new research into the career of William Newton (1730-1798) of Newcastle upon Tyne. Section I assesses the growth of professionalism, identifying the criteria that distinguished professions from other occupations and their presence in architectural practitioners. It contrasts historians’ emphasis upon innovative designs by artist-architects, such as Sir John Vanbrugh and Robert Adam, with their absence from the realisation of their designs. Clients had to employ capable building craftsmen to supervise construction and this was an opportunity for an alternative practitioner to emerge, the builder-architect exemplified by Newton, offering clients proven practical experience, frequent supervision, peer group recommendation and financial responsibility. Patronage networks were a critical factor in securing commissions for provincial builder-architects, demonstrated here by a reconstruction of Newton’s connections to the north-east élite. Section II reveals that the coal-based north-east economy sustained architectural expenditure, despite national fluctuations. A major proposal of this thesis is that, contrary to Borsay’s theory of an ‘English urban renaissance’, north-east towns showed continuity and slow development. Instead, expenditure was focused upon élite social spaces and industrial infrastructure, and by the extensive repurposing of the hinterlands around towns. This latter development constituted a ‘rural renaissance’ as commercial wealth created country estates for controlled access to social pursuits by élite families.

EDITORIAL Another NDFHS Conference has come and gone - successfully, I feel. I am sure that all members who braved the elements (yes, it rained!) will want to thank the organisers Moira Furness and Elizabeth Lyall for a most enjoyable weekend. I persuaded the speakers to write articles on their topics and you will find one of them in this issue and, hopefully, more in the next Journal. I can now give you advance notice that the 1992 Conference will again be held in Durham, this time at Collingwood College, from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th September. More details later, but in the meantime make a note in your diary. The "Know Your Parish" series is popular, rightly so, and for good measure there are two such articles in this issue. On looking back at this feature over the years, I see that there has been a distinct bias in favour of Northumbrian parishes - roughly two to every one Durham parish. The editor can only publish what he is given, so come on, you Durham fans, let's have some articles about your particular parish of interest! The Durham parishes so far included in this series are Medomsley, Heworth, Chester-le-Street, Washington, Tanfield, Hetton- le-Hole, Jarrow, Lamesley and (in this issue) Stanhope. Articles on any other parishes would be welcomed. We are planning to follow in the footsteps of other Family History Societies and will make available for purchase copies of the considerable stock of Monumental Inscriptions held by our Library. The list for each churchyard will be photocopied and made available to purchasers.

'The Middleton Mystery: an Adventure at Belsay Hall
EVA 2008 London Conference ~ 22-24 July Lynne Minett and Carl Gavin _____________________________________________________________________ ‘THE MIDDLETON MYSTERY: AN ADVENTURE AT BELSAY HALL’ INTERPRETING HERITAGE THROUGH THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER GAME Lynne Minett Dr Carl J Gavin Education Manager, North of England Managing Director English Heritage Lateral Visions Software Company Learning Department 3E Wavertree Boulevard South 37 Tanner Row Wavertree Technology Park York, YO1 6WP Liverpool, L7 9PF United Kingdom United Kingdom [email protected] [email protected] http://www.english-heritage.org.uk http://www. lateralvisions.co.uk Abstract – English Heritage has been exploring an approach to interpreting heritage using computer games. Instead of the learning resulting from gameplay inherent within an existing computer game, the learning and interpretation is generated through the holistic process of designing and developing a computer game. This paper presents one such project, ‘The Middleton Mystery – An Adventure at Belsay Hall’. Students at Ashington Community High School designed a computer game set in a virtual version of Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens in Northumberland. The objective was to use computer games technology to interpret Belsay’s history in a way that young people would find appealing: to increase knowledge and understanding about Belsay Hall and to change attitudes and values about heritage in an inspirational, creative and enjoyable way. INTRODUCTION ‘The Middleton Mystery’ project was delivered as part of the ‘Picture House’ contemporary arts exhibition (3 May-31 September 2007) at Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens in Northumberland. English Heritage wanted to develop its work with a new audience by targeting young people, engaging a group at risk of exclusion from mainstream education in their local heritage and encouraging new visitors to the site.

ARUNA RATANAGIRI Harnham Buddhist Monastery
ARUNA RATANAGIRI Harnham Buddhist Monastery RETREAT INFORMATION This is an opportunity, for those who have some previous experience of meditation to refresh and deepen formal meditation practice in the company of spiritual friends. To attend a retreat at Harnham Buddhist Monastery, you must have previously stayed at this monastery (as a guest or on retreat) or at another monastery in the lineage of Ajahn Chah. It is advisable to book early. We do, however, request that, since space is limited you do not book unless you are reasonably certain that you can attend. It is also expected that you stay for the duration of the retreat and attend all sittings as instructed. With this in mind please make travel arrangements that will enable you to arrive in time, by 5.00pm at the latest on the first day. There will be an introductory talk at 5.30pm. Longer retreats normally end at the meal time on the last day (around midday). It is helpful if some people can stay for the tidy up session after the end of the retreat. Sometimes the teacher of the retreat may be available for general discussion after the meal on the last day. Weekend retreats may finish later in the day (around 5pm). A few practical points: Please read carefully before booking a place on the retreat. Accommodation Kusala House is not a retreat centre per se. The retreats offered at Harnham take place within the context of an active Buddhist training monastery for men. However both women and men are welcome to come on retreat, stay as guests and visit the monastery.
