  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.

  • Log of Hornby School 1900-87
    Hornby School Log-Books 1900-94 The following are extracts from the school log books of Hornby, Lancs., between 1900 and 1994. They are a selection of the most interesting entries over those years. The log books were written by the Headteacher and there are four of them covering this period. The original log books are kept at the school. I am very grateful to Mr.B.G.Wood, Headteacher 1983-94, for allowing me to borrow and make extracts from them. 1900 19th November The Thermometer at 9 o'clock this morning registered only 42 degrees. Fire was lighted at 7 but during the night there had been a very severe frost. Florence Goth who has been suffering for the last few day from earache was not able to attend to her duties. The New Time Table as approved by J.G.IIes HMI was brought into use this morning. 20th November There are still 15 children absent from School on account of Whooping Cough. 26th November Florence Goth has not yet returned to her duties, and it is now known that earache referred to on the opposite page is more correctly described as Mumps. This morning I find several cases of Mumps in the School, and some are absent on that account. Jane Smith is also beginning in the Mumps and ought not to be among the children. She will report herself to Mr Kay at the Central Classes this afternoon. Dr Bone the Medical Officer of Health recommends the closing of the School again indefinitely to stamp out the Mumps and the Whooping Cough.

  • The Daltons of Thurnham
    THE DALTONS OF THURNHAM. By William Oliver Roper. Read 2Oth February, 1890. OME two miles to the west of the great north S road, and rather more than double that distance from the county town of Lancaster, stands Thurn- ham Hall, the seat of the Dalton family. Situate away from the main road, the stirring stream of life appears to have left the Hall rather on one side, and the noise of battle seems not to have penetrated the woods which shut it off from the world. Even now it stands lonely, almost deserted, and melancholy in its neglect. Yet, though Thurnham Hall does not seem to have looked down upon any great events of history, it has its own annals in the story of the family who have held it so long, and under whose charge it has seen so many-strange vicissitudes. To these annals, to the story of the Dalton family at one time per­ haps the largest landowners in the neighbourhood of Lancaster, and always staunch supporters of the Catholic faith I wish in this paper to draw attention. Thurnham stands on slightly rising ground, and looks out over the northern portion of the great plain of the Fylde. Less than a mile distant the broad waters of the Lune mingle with the sea. On the shore, just below the mingling of the fresh water and the salt, stand the scanty ruins of Cockersand Abbey, the third largest monastery in Lancashire. H 98 The Daltons of Thurnham. To the north is Ashton Hall, the old home of the Lawrences, and later of the Dukes of Hamil­ ton ; and beyond again is the castle and the county town of Lancaster.

  • The Lunesdale Walk Also Offers a Chance to Discover One of the Finest Paths in Roeburndale, Where Lichens and Mosses Festoon the Woodland
    A walk through the rich landscapes of Lancashire’s Lune Valley Through pastures farmed by Norse settlers to riverside meadows and low-lying villages of the Lune and Wenning valleys, this is a walk of fine landscapes. You will catch glimpses of Morecambe Bay and the mountains of South Cumbria as well as the prospect of Ingleborough from several vantage points. For the most part it is gently undulating countryside, but there are steep climbs; the exceptional views are more than recompense.
