The land around the village has been farmed for over 1,000 years, with extensive areas Public consultation is an integral part of the appraisal of former arable rig and furrow still to be seen, now preserved process. The second draft document was the basis for under pasture. consultation with local people and other interested parties, after which it was amended where necessary before being Much of the unique character of Lartington today derives presented to Durham County Council’s Cabinet in December from the rebuilding and land improvements of Lartington Hall 2012. Once approved, the next stage is the preparation of a and estate in the 18th and 19th centuries. At this time, the Management Plan programme for all our conservation areas. farming land around the village was enclosed with dry-stone Initial management proposals have been included in this walls and hedges, and a fashionable park with specimen tree document for consideration. plantings such as Cedars of Lebanon and Wellingtonia was created around the Hall and village. The distinctive character of the buildings of the village is to be found in the use of local sandstone and stone slate roofs. The character of the village, houses and other buildings is often dictated by local materials. Only since the coming of the railways (1863 in Lartington’s case) have “foreign “ materials such as brick and welsh slate been widely available and as most of the buildings in the parish date from before this, local materials contribute a significant element to the look and feel of the village. 77 5 Conservation Area Appraisal Planning Legislation preservation and enhancement of its conservation areas from time to time. A conservation area is defined in the 1967 Civic Amenities Act as “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the When assessing applications for development, the Local character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve Planning Authority must pay special regard to the desirability or enhance”. It is not the purpose of a conservation area to of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of prevent development, but to manage change in a positive the conservation areas under s72(1) of the Act. This does not and proactive way that benefits current and future mean that development will necessarily be opposed, only that generations. Conservation area status means that a special this should not be detrimental to the special interest of the form of Planning Permission called Conservation Area wider conservation area. Specific guidance relating to Consent is required for the total or substantial demolition of development within conservation areas can be found within any building over 115m3 in size, the demolition of a boundary the National Planning Policy Framework. wall over 1m in height next to the highway or 2m elsewhere. There is a general presumption against the loss of buildings which make a positive contribution to the character or appearance of the conservation area. Additional controls are also placed over trees within the area, meaning that an owner must submit a formal notification of works to the Council six weeks before starting work. Permitted development rights (works that can be done without Planning Permission) are also slightly different within designated conservation areas. The primary legislation governing listed buildings and conservation areas is the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. This legislation includes certain statutory duties which the Council as Local Planning Authority must uphold. S69(1) of the Act requires Local Planning Authorities to designate any areas which they consider to be of special architectural or historic interest as conservation areas, and under s69(2) to review such designations from time to time. The Council has a further duty under s71(1) to formulate and prepare proposals for the 6 Lartington Conservation Area Character Appraisals Location and Setting The Conservation Area Appraisal represents the first phase Lartington is located approximately two and a half miles from of a dynamic process aimed at the conservation and the main market town of Barnard Castle.

Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

  • County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

A leisurely walk of 3½ miles, along lanes and across fields in the valley of the River Greta. In the churchyard of St. Giles, up the hill on the o. left, is the grave of William Shaw, headmaster of the old school in the N 9 village known as Shaw’s Academy. This became Dotheboys Hall in Dickens’ “Nicholas Nickleby”.

  • NEWSLETTER 2 FEBRUARY 2012 Kiplings in 1911 the Family Trees
    NEWSLETTER 2 FEBRUARY 2012 Kiplings in 1911 The 1911 census of England and Wales (as transcribed by FindmyPast.co.uk) contains around 1,040 people named Kipling. This is not necessarily the entire population of Kiplings, as some will have been missed, either in error or because they were out of the country, and others will have been mistranscribed. There is no Rudyard Kipling for example, at least not the famous one (as he was on holiday in France at the time) although there are Rudyard Kiplings aged 7 in Oldham, 11 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and 14 in Leyburn, Yorkshire! These 1,040 Kiplings are spread over about 370 households and, as might be expected, are to be found predominantly in Durham (36%) and Yorkshire (25%). I have attempted to allocate each family containing at least one male Kipling to a particular family tree using available records. This leads to 29 trees, a number which can almost certainly be reduced with more effort and time. We have already got at least one y-chromosome DNA result for seven of these trees. We need to obtain more DNA results, spread across as many of the untested trees as possible. Using mail and electronic messaging (Facebook, Linked-in, etc), I am gradually trying to find additional participants (trying to link each man approached to one of the 1911 trees to avoid broken male lines or too many duplicates). Three more test kits have recently been issued and results can be expected in the next couple of months. The Family Trees The table below gives a short name for each of the 29 trees, followed by the name of the earliest ancestor identified in my own or others’ research.
