  • The Warburtons of Edenfield
    The Warburtons of Edenfield Last Updated 4th August 2021 ©2018 to 2021 Ray Warburton PREFACE The Warburtons of Edenfield first appear in the Halmote Records of Tottington Manor in the early 16th century although there is an earlier mention of a probable ancestor on a rental from 1442. A paper called Warburton References in the Halmote Records of Tottington Manor can be found on the Pages page of the website. The tree is based on an original tree provided by Anthony Carter, with additional input from Nicolas Blackhurst, and David Hardman. It has been considerably extended by my own research and information on additional lines from Robert Warburton, Colin Warburton, and Sharron Newhouse. A paper called Edenfield Clan and Related Peters can be found on the Papers page of the website. There are two matching DNA Profiles from the clan, including a BigY result. There are several other matches from clans with origins in the area which together form The Lancashire Group. It is likely these other clans are branches of the Edenfield clan though the exact links have yet to be found.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
