Publications of Interest ............................................................................... 43 3 | Central England F.D. | Forestry Commission England | 09/02/2016 Whitwell FP Whitwell Forest Plan10 year review This section is a brief review of the current Forest Design Plan, known as “Whitwell Wood – Design Plan 23”. This plan was due to expire in 2013 and has been rolled over until 2016 in order to allow for the construction of a new plan and consultation on the review. The new plan will be known as “Whitwell (FP N3)” and will again run for 10 years with a mid-term review at the 5 year point. The purpose of this 10 year review was to assess the previous plan and set a direction of travel for the new plan; in line with OGB 36 – Forest Design Planning. The proposed plan will continue to adhere to UKFS and UKWAS as well as working toward delivering results in areas identified by SSSI plans and local consultees. The old plan was a success in its own right, but in the 13 years since it was approved, circumstances and priorities have changed. Whitwell is predominantly made up of Sycamore, Beech, Ash, Pine and Oak and the vast majority of these trees were planted between 1930 & 1950. One of the main issues facing Whitwell is the fact that it is PAWS woodland, predominantly made up of Beech & Sycamore. It has very little age diversity and is facing the threat of Chalara fraxinea and the various forms of Oak Death. The new plan needed to balance the desire to remove species such as Sycamore, Pine and Beech against the threat of losing the Ash and Oak to diseases. This was made harder by the limited number of available native broadleaves that could replace them and produce marketable timber. Wider policy seems to be shifting over time towards greater acceptance of Beech, Scots Pine and Sycamore; a positive view has been taken towards these “near natives” in the new plan for the reasons outlined above. 4 | Central England F.D. | Forestry Commission England | 09/02/2016 Whitwell FP All of this needs to be balanced against the high level of biodiversity recorded in Whitwell and the large quantity of recorded heritage features. There is a lot of data on both of these subjects, gathered by the Forestry Commission, Whitwell Wood Natural History Group and other parties and every attempt has been made to take advantage of this data when constructing the new plan. 5 | Central England F.D. | Forestry Commission England | 09/02/2016 Whitwell FP The Whitwell Forest Plan Brief The Whitwell Forest Plan comprises the block of woodland known as Whitwell Wood near the village of Whitwell which lies to the west of Worksop on the A619 in North Derbyshire. The 169 hectares covered by the plan is leasehold, managed by the Forestry Commission on a long term lease which allows for public access. The woodland is predominantly broadleaf species, mainly Beech, Sycamore and Ash. The majority of the area is Planted Ancient Woodland (PAWS), with a few areas of Ancient Woodland. It also contains a 10 hectare Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This area has a specific management plan which will be addressed in the full Forest Plan. Whitwell has a relatively high public access (for a woodland of this size) and a healthy level of community interest in its history and management. In addition there are a large number of historic ground features and earthworks. The approved Forest Plan will provide an operational plan that will deliver sustainable forest management. It has been developed to find the right balance of forest management based on the environmental, social and economic considerations associated with the forest and its surrounding landscape. It will also aim to contribute to our district strategic plan objectives, which are based around the three drivers of sustainable land management; Economy, Nature and People. 6 | Central England F.D. | Forestry Commission England | 09/02/2016 Whitwell FP Economic Issues Forestry in the UK constantly faces challenges from various pests and diseases. Many of these are established, existing problems but we are always identifying new threats from outside the UK as well as dealing with recently discovered plant health issues. Couple with this the fact that our climate is changing, it is necessary to increase the resilience of our forests over the coming decades. Continuing to diversify the species we use in the forest, the age classes of stands and the types of silvicultural systems we use, when possible and appropriate, will all contribute to this approach and will all be reflected in the new FP. Good management helps sustain this diversity

In territorial terms it was a time of loss. The diocese of Ripon was founded in 1836 taking with it some of the most heavily populated new industrial regions of West Yorkshire, Bradford, Halifax and Leeds. By 1836 the archbishop had also lost his peculiar jurisdiction over Hexhamshire and in 1837 the archdeaconry of Nottingham was transferred to the diocese of Lincoln. Even though a time of territorial loss for the diocese, it was a period of increased church building. When changing expectations of the parochial role of the clergy, the demand for clerical residence and the provision of a living wage for stipendary curates and increased parochial demands for preaching and the sacraments within a broadening definition of parochial work are added to this the period is seen to be one of repeated adaptation and change. ORDINATION- THE SOURCES From the middle of the eighteenth century onwards the information recorded in the York Institution Act Books can be validated and expanded by reference to the bundles of papers submitted by the candidates themselves prior to their taking orders.

  • A Child of the Thirties
    Document produced from the original for Harthill Memories and History Society – EJM 2018 A child of the Thirties. By E. R. Harrison Page 1 of 28 Document produced from the original for Harthill Memories and History Society – EJM 2018 Harthill Harthill was and still is a small rural village in the extreme south of Yorkshire, 12 miles east of Sheffield, having its southern and western boundary with Derbyshire, and 2 miles to the east with Nottinghamshire. Harthill developed along a north/ south axis road between Kiveton Park to the north and Clowne to the south. The road branched west to the hamlet of Woodall and on to Highmoor, Killamarsh and on to Sheffield. The road branching east towards Thorpe Salvin and Shireoaks and on to Worksop. Harthill date back to before the Domesday Book and was a self sufficient community mainly concerned with farming with associated trades like blacksmith, cooper, thatcher, etc. The Parish of Harthill with Woodall was owned by The Duke of Leeds. The small areas of Firvale field, The Hopping and Loscar belonged to a Mr Duckworth. The Duke wanted Harthill to remain rural, so put a ban on any form of industry, Mr Duckworth disagreed with this, so following the sinking of Kiveton Coal Pit in 1865 Mr Duckworth leased Firvale, at the top of the village to the influx of miners coming into the area to work. They built closely packed, back to back terraced houses, using the clay they dug to make the bricks. On the death of the Duke of Leeds in 1922 the rest of the village was sold to the council who set about building council houses for the miners.
