Proceedings W Esley Historical Society
Proceedings OF THE W esley Historical Society Editor: REv. JOHN C. BOWMER, M.A., B.D., Ph.D. Volume XL June 1975 JOHN WESLEY, LITERARY ARBITER An Introduction to his use of the Asterisk EADERS turning to the edition of his Works published by John Wesley in thirty-two volumes during the years 1771-4 R may naturally be surprised to find him deserting his normal custom (and the normal custom of the century) of using asterisks as the primary means for directing attention to footnotes. Instead he employs daggers, double daggers, parallel lines, the section mark, the paragraph symbol, but only occasionally asterisks, and then ob viously in error.1 On the other hand, the curious reader will also be surprised from time to time to discover that many paragraphs begin with an asterisk. If his curiosity is sufficiently aroused, he may turn to the preface in volume i to discover what Wesley was about. He might also wish to know when W esley began this practice, how fully he carried it out, and upon what principles. Perhaps he would also wonder whether this unusual feature was in fact unique. Wesley was in fact indicating purple passages. He may have derived the idea from Alexander Pope, who prefaced his edition of Shakespeare's works by pointing out: Some of the most shining passages are distinguished by con~mas in the margin; and where the beauty lay not in particulars but in the whole, a star is prefixed to the scene. Pope continued : This seems to me a shorter and less ostentatious method of performing the better half of criticism (namely the pointing out an author's excel lencies) than to fill a whole page with citations of fine passages, with general applauses, or empty exclamations at the tail of them.2 There is no certainty which edition (or editions) of Shakespeare Wesley used, but his diary shows him reading several of the tragedies and histories in 1726-the year after Pope's edition was published. -

Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one. -
1 Written Description of the Boundary Relating to the Yorkshire Dales National Park
Written Description of the Boundary relating to the Yorkshire Dales National Park (Designation) (Variation) Confirmation Order 2015 Introduction This description is designed to be read in conjunction with the 1:25,000 scale maps included within the Yorkshire Dales National Park (Designation) (Variation) Confirmation Order 2015 as confirmed by the Secretary of State on 23rd day of October 2015. It does not form part of the Order but is intended to assist interpretation of the map against features on the ground. Map references in italics refer to the map numbers in the top right corner of the maps bound in with the Order. Map references within the text e.g. SD655749 are six figure Ordnance Survey Grid References. The description of the boundary proceeds round the area of the boundary variations in a clockwise direction (in line with the direction of the text in the original boundary description which accompanied the 1953 Yorkshire Dales National Park Designation Order), from the point at which it deviates from the original boundary, to the point at which it re-joins it. In line with the description of the 1953 boundary, and unless otherwise stated: where the boundary follows roads and tracks, it follows the edge of the metalled surface of the road and the edge of the track, excluding the roads and tracks themselves (there are some exceptions, as stated below); and in the case of water courses, if it is not stated whether the boundary follows the edge or the centre, the boundary follows the centre of the water course (although in this description the edge of water courses is generally stated). -
Letter Re Planning Application for 9 Houses Dec 2016
DRAUGHTON PARISH COUNCIL The Pines Draughton Skipton BD23 6DU 2 January 2017 Development Control Services Craven District Council 1 Belle Vue Square Skipton BD23 1FJ Attn: Ms G Kennedy Dear Sirs Application Ref: 24/2016/17616 – Land at Draughton off access road to A65 Thank you for consulting us on the above planning application, which concerns a proposed development for 9 residential dwellings off the old A65 in Draughton parish. We object to this development for the reasons set out below. Summary The area of proposed development is a field sloping down from the old A65 road into the village to the tree lined Howgill Beck below, a tributary of the River Wharfe. It is currently used as grazing land. Draughton is a small attractive village, typical of the Yorkshire Dales, with stone built properties and dry stone walls much in evidence. Its pattern of settlement is tightly knit, having been strongly influenced by the steep contours created by the valley formed by Howgill Beck. The scenic Dales landscape surrounding the village is a key feature in its setting, and one which is recognised by the widely- drawn conservation area boundary. These are the main attributes from which the locality derives its character and appearance. Against this background, there are no sites included as preferred options for housing development in Draughton in the draft Local Plan. Draughton is not regarded as a sustainable location for growth because of the lack of local amenities, facilities and infrastructure. This development will not bring any further facilities or infrastructure into the village; it will only put greater strain on the existing, very limited facilities. -
