Norman Complete Listing.Docx 97-015 Charlotte Norman Documents University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Title: The Charlotte Norman Derbyshire well-dressing collection Scope: The collection comprises manuscript, printed, photographic and audio items relating in the main to Charlotte Norman’s interest and academic research into the Derbyshire well-dressing custom. It also contains a number of academic folklore text books and journals, magazines, transparencies and photographs of corn dollies, canal boat art and Derbyshire calendar customs other than well-dressings. Dates: 1834-1987 Level: Fonds Extent: 69 boxes, audio-cassettes and volumes Name of creator: Charlotte Norman Administrative / biographical history: The collection includes manuscript, printed, photographic and audio items relating in the main to Charlotte Norman’s interest and academic research into the Derbyshire well-dressing custom. It also contains a number of academic folklore text books and journals, magazines, transparencies and photographs of corn dollies, canal boat art and Derbyshire calendar customs other than well-dressings. This substantial archive comprises items gathered during two periods of research into the Derbyshire custom of well-dressing (the decoration of a well or spring with pictures created from flowers and greenery and held in screens constructed of wood and clay). It was whilst visiting Buxton in the summer of 1972 that Charlotte Norman, an American by birth and at that time called Charlotte Johnson, first became acquainted with the well-dressing custom. Here she saw: 1 97-015 Charlotte Norman Documents “An imposing structure about eight feet high that had been erected around and behind the well. This screen contained a flower mosaic of startling brilliance and surprising complexity. If this were a typical well-dressing, the custom might represent a little known form of folk art that would be worthy of further investigation.” Charlotte Norman left Buxton “convinced that the Derbyshire well-dressings offered a unique subject for a thesis.” During the remainder of that summer she returned several times to Buxton, making it the base from which she visited well-dressings in Derbyshire villages. This preliminary work indicated to her that “well-dressing as practised in some of the villages of Derbyshire is an art, craft and custom unique to that area.” Having been granted a three-month leave of absence from her position as Registrar at the Lowie Museum of Anthropology, fieldwork and further research were conducted over a three-month period in the summer of 1973. This centred on the town of Buxton and village of Youlgreave, but also involved visiting twenty-three villages with an active well-dressing tradition at that time. Such work had three stated purposes: · To record by means of observation, participation, interview and photography the methods, materials and techniques used in the preparation of the Derbyshire well-dressing screens; · To attempt to trace the historical background of well-dressing in Derbyshire, to ascertain how it has been preserved in this restricted area and whether or not there is hope for its survival in the future; · To determine the religious, social and economic significance of the custom of well-dressing in the villages that practice it and in the county of Derbyshire as a whole. This research contributed to a master’s degree in Folklore, for which she was studying in the graduate division of the University of California at Berkeley. Two photocopies of her completed thesis, ‘Derbyshire Well-Dressing: Folklore and Art’ (undated, but probably submitted to Berkeley in 1974/1975), are held in this archive. Charlotte Norman’s interest in well-dressings continued beyond the completion of her thesis, and it is evident from the large number of colour transparencies in the collection (approximately 1800) that she continued recording photographically the Derbyshire well-dressing custom throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. It was during the early part of the 1980s that Charlotte Norman’s second major phase of collecting took place. This was fresh research, building on her earlier work, which she hoped would lead to a PhD degree. During this phase she undertook extensive research in the offices of Derbyshire newspapers, dictating onto audiocassettes articles relating to well-dressings and well-blessing 2 97-015 Charlotte Norman Documents ceremonies covering the period 1834-1963. She also undertook the creation of several indexes, relating to the geographical location of well-dressings and their subject and title. At this time she was collecting printed material relating to the custom, including contemporary newspaper articles, pamphlets, posters, postcards and smaller ephemeral items. Charlotte Norman’s research was cut short by her death in 1988.

  • The Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands of England
    THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS IN THE EAST MIDLANDS OF ENGLAND FINAL REPORT Christopher Maughan Franco Bianchini De Montfort University, Leicester December 2004 Preface I am pleased to introduce the final report of the ‘Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands’. This is the first comprehensive study of festivals in the East Midlands and reflects on the economic and social impact of 11 festivals in the region during 2002-03. Arts Council England recognises the value and role of festivals in the region, and was therefore delighted to fund this research study. Our other partners on this project were East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and Regional Economic and Arts Partnership (REAP), which comprised of local authority officers from across the region. It is encouraging to read how successful festivals are, not just in terms of the economy, but also in making people proud of where they live and the community-based feelings, which are rekindled through such events. This research shows how far we, as a region, have come and gives us an indication of how we can build on this success to truly make the East Midlands the home of festivals. The success of any research project depends on the efforts many people. I would like to thank the researchers Franco Bianchini, Christopher Maughan and Paola Merli of De Montfort University, Leicester, together with the 11 festivals that took part. Most importantly, I would like to thank those members of the public who willingly gave their time and cooperation, helping to make the research a success.

  • Objection to the Old Whittington Lane and Church Street, Unstone (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2019
    Author: Bridget Gould Public Ext: 38579 Agenda Item No. 4(c) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAY, TRANSPORT AND INFASTRUCTURE 10 October 2019 Report of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment OBJECTION TO THE (OLD WHITTINGTON LANE AND CHURCH STREET, UNSTONE) (PROHIBITION OF MOTOR VEHICLES) ORDER 2019 (1) Purpose of Report To inform the Cabinet Member of an objection following the public advertisement and consultation on the Old Whittington Lane and Church Street, Unstone (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2019 which is currently being progressed under the delegated powers of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment for Traffic Regulation Orders. (2) Information and Analysis Background In December 2018, following extensive consultation and public engagement events, approval was given to the shared use cycle path along the B6057 between Dronfield and Unstone, which included the County Council advertising any Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to facilitate its implementation. The Cabinet Member requested to see any representations made as a result of any advertised TROs. As part of the construction of the proposed cycle path, it will be necessary to prohibit motor vehicles from entering Church Street and Old Whittington Lane from the B6057 in order to construct a continual cycle path across these access roads. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to advertise a TRO to prohibit motor vehicles. This was advertised on street and in the Derbyshire Times from 6 June 2019 to 28 June 2019 and received one objection, from Unstone Parish Council The objection reads as follows: “The council objects to the proposed closure of both roads as the closure will create a disproportionate amount of traffic on neighbouring roads, especially on Crow Lane at school drop off and pick up times.

    ClearLead Consulting Limited, The Barn, Cadhay, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1QT, UK +44 (0) 1404 814 273 4th May 2020 By Email Only Dear Sir / Madam Amber Valley Borough Local Plan: Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping We are writing to you in order to gain your opinion on the enclosed Scoping Report which sets out the proposed scope and level of detail of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the forthcoming Amber Valley Borough Local Plan. Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) formally resolved in May 2019 to withdraw the Submission Local Plan (March 2018) to enable the Spatial Vision, Strategic Objectives and Spatial Strategy Policies to be reviewed. At the Full Council meeting held in November 2019, the Borough Council agreed to prepare a new plan through to adoption by 31 March 2023, with a plan end date of at least 2038. The new Local Plan, when adopted, will replace the saved Local Plan policies of the current adopted plan. ClearLead Consulting Ltd has been appointed by AVBC to undertake the SA and as well as a parallel Habitats Regulations Assessment. Scoping Report The Scoping Report is the first output of the SA and provides baseline information on the environmental, social and economic characteristics of the plan area, including the likely evolution of the baseline position which would occur without the plan. The Scoping Report also sets out a methodology and framework for the assessment of the Local Plan and its alternatives at later stages of the Local Plan preparation process. It also identifies the significant effects that the assessment will need to focus on.
