  • Landform Studies in Mosedale, Northeastern Lake District: Opportunities for Field Investigations
    Field Studies, 10, (2002) 177 - 206 LANDFORM STUDIES IN MOSEDALE, NORTHEASTERN LAKE DISTRICT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIELD INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD CLARK Parcey House, Hartsop, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0NZ AND PETER WILSON School of Environmental Studies, University of Ulster at Coleraine, Cromore Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry BT52 1SA, Northern Ireland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Mosedale is part of the valley of the River Caldew in the Skiddaw upland of the northeastern Lake District. It possesses a diverse, interesting and problematic assemblage of landforms and is convenient to Blencathra Field Centre. The landforms result from glacial, periglacial, fluvial and hillslopes processes and, although some of them have been described previously, others have not. Landforms of one time and environment occur adjacent to those of another. The area is a valuable locality for the field teaching and evaluation of upland geomorphology. In this paper, something of the variety of landforms, materials and processes is outlined for each district in turn. That is followed by suggestions for further enquiry about landform development in time and place. Some questions are posed. These should not be thought of as being the only relevant ones that might be asked about the area: they are intended to help set enquiry off. Mosedale offers a challenge to students at all levels and its landforms demonstrate a complexity that is rarely presented in the textbooks. INTRODUCTION Upland areas attract research and teaching in both earth and life sciences. In part, that is for the pleasure in being there and, substantially, for relative freedom of access to such features as landforms, outcrops and habitats, especially in comparison with intensively occupied lowland areas.

  • De Lancaster of Westmorland -241
    DE LANCASTER OF WESTMORLAND -241- THE DE LANCASTERS OF WESTMORLAND: LESSER-KNOWN BRANCHES, AND THE ORIGIN OF THE DE LANCASTERS OF HOWGILL 1 by Andrew Lancaster ABSTRACT By his own admission Ragg’s 1910 paper De Lancaster could not complete a full study of all the de Lancasters in medieval Westmorland. The article proposes that several lines which he left incompletely explained might be connected in unexpected ways. One suggestion concerns Jordan de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. In addition, the doubts Ragg raised about the de Lancasters of Howgill lead the author to question explanations of their origins that are widely accepted. Foundations (2007) 2 (4): 241-252 © Copyright FMG and the author Jordan de Lancaster Ragg (1910) removed all reasonable doubt concerning the origins of the de Lancaster family of Sockbridge in Westmorland. A series of charters confirmed that their founder was Gilbert de Lancaster, born in the 12th century. This Gilbert was the son of William de Lancaster II, and the brother of Helewise de Lancaster, William’s daughter and legitimate heir. Ragg’s study of other documents established a clear line of descent from this Gilbert de Lancaster to the later and better-known Christopher de Lancaster of Sockbridge in the 14th century. As Ragg stated (p.396), the existence of Gilbert, son of William de Lancaster II, had in fact been asserted for some time before Ragg’s more conclusive paper. As I shall discuss further below, he appears as witness in many of his father’s charters, and Ragg admitted to having made an error in ignoring the evidence.

  • The Lake District
    The Lake District The Lake District has inspired poets and enchanted visitors to the area for centuries and that has helped validate its position as the UK’s most visited National Park. At the top of Skarfell in clear weather there are views over to Ireland and as far as Snowdonia in Wales. If making your way to the top of England’s highest peak doesn’t appeal to you then the beautiful lakes of Ullswater, Windermere and almost a hundred more bodies of water are sure to offer you plenty of opportunity for excitement or serenity. If you would like to experience some culture whilst in the area you could visit the Theatre by the Lake which runs a year round program of productions and has been called the most beautifully situated theatre in the country. Hill Top was Beatrix Potter’s home for 38 years and remains today much as it was when she lived there. Immerse yourself in the space and surroundings that helped inspire her to write the stories loved throughout. Places to visit Lakeland Motor Museum Housed in a converted mill in the heart of the Lake District.

  • Westmoreland in the Late Seventeenth Century by Colin Phillips
    WESTMORLAND ABOUT 1670 BY COLIN PHILLIPS Topography and climate This volume prints four documents relating to the hearth tax in Westmorland1. It is important to set these documents in their geographical context. Westmorland, until 1974 was one of England’s ancient counties when it became part of Cumbria. The boundaries are shown on map 1.2 Celia Fiennes’s view in 1698 of ‘…Rich land in the bottoms, as one may call them considering the vast hills above them on all sides…’ was more positive than that of Daniel Defoe who, in 1724, considered Westmorland ‘A country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even Wales it self. ’ It was a county of stark topographical contrasts, fringed by long and deep waters of the Lake District, bisected by mountains with high and wild fells. Communications were difficult: Helvellyn, Harter Fell, Shap Fell and the Langdale Fells prevented easy cross-county movement, although there were in the seventeenth century three routes identified with Kirkstone, Shap, and Grayrigg.3 Yet there were more fertile lowland areas and 1 TNA, Exchequer, lay subsidy rolls, E179/195/73, compiled for the Michaelmas 1670 collection, and including Kendal borough.

  • South Ribble Fell Search & Rescue Team 1962
    South Ribble Fell Search & Rescue Team 1962 - 1980 Introduction 1 The Beginning 2 Team Leaders 3 Callouts by Year 4 Amalgamation 5 Cop Lane 6 Vehicles 7 Film Callout Callout 8 Team Kit 9 The “Bomb” 10 Fell Races 11 Reunion Note £ figures in brackets are the approximate relative value in 2020 Introduction On 25th March 1962 in the fells north of Chipping 3 siblings set out on a day’s walk which was to end in tragedy with the two brothers losing their lives despite their sister raising the alarm. Mountain Rescue in England was in its formative years, there was no team for miles and no routines or protocols for calling one in to help. I believe this incident provided the final push for two teams to be formed in the county. Jim McVeigh and Peter Williams gathered together a number of people to form South Ribble Fell Search and Rescue Team, based at Cop Lane in Penwortham, Preston. The team remained at this location for most of their existence. In contrast, Ross Drysdale believed there was a need for a wider co-ordinating role, an umbrella agency, with contacts and units across Lancashire, Yorkshire and beyond, able to call upon others with specific skills; Raynet with radio communications, North West Fell and Mountaineering First Aid Unit etc, and deploy them as each incident dictates. The name of this new group reflected his aspiration, Northern Rescue Organisation (NRO) with Ross as its organiser. Attempts were made as early as 1973 to form closer ties between the two teams but these did not develop.
