Several of those who heard the paper on that occasion have also read the full text and allowed me to benefit from their comments; my thanks to Keith Stringer, John Todd, and Angus Winchester. I am particularly indebted to Hugh Doherty for much discussion during the preparation of this paper and for several references that I should otherwise have missed. In particular he should be credited with rediscovering the writ-charter of Henry I cited in n. -

Flooding after Storm Desmond PERC UK 2015 Flooding in Cumbria after Storm Desmond PERC UK 2015 The storms that battered the north of England and parts of Scotland at the end of 2015 and early 2016 caused significant damage and disruption to families and businesses across tight knit rural communities and larger towns and cities. This came just two years after Storm Xaver inflicted significant damage to the east coast of England. Flooding is not a new threat to the residents of the Lake District, but the severity of the events in December 2015 certainly appears to have been regarded as surprising. While the immediate priority is always to ensure that defence measures are overwhelmed. We have also these communities and businesses are back up on their looked at the role of community flood action groups feet as quickly and effectively as possible, it is also in the response and recovery from severe flooding. important that all those involved in the response take Our main recommendations revolve around three key the opportunity to review their own procedures and themes. The first is around flood risk communication, actions. It is often the case that when our response is including the need for better communication of hazard, put to the test in a ‘real world’ scenario that we risk and what actions to take when providing early discover things that could have been done better, or warning services to communities. The second centres differently, and can make changes to ensure continuous around residual risk when the first line of flood improvement.

This study utilises repeat lidar survey data of the River Caldew above the City of Carlisle in the UK to investigate the balance of erosion and deposition associated with channel switching from an engineered and managed single thread channel to a naturalising incipient wandering system. -

Brisco Conservation Area Appraisal

Reproduced by kind permission of the Wordsworth Trust, Dove Cottage, Grasmere 2 The Journal Thomas Allom’s prints of Six months ago I was wondering how to fill Derwent Fells this edition of the Journal and now I find it by Michael Winstanley difficult to keep within 24 pages, even holding some over until August. Many members will remember the talk which Dr Michael Winstanley gave in May 2013 on Thomas Allom, and so I was pleased to receive an exposition of Allom’s illustrations of our local scenes. It is a co- incidence that the article which Michael and I wrote in 2009 about Isabella Huxtable, nee Nixon, is also followed up in this article. This follows family research by Blair Nixon from Canada, a descendant of the Lorton Nixons, who read our Journal online. Our cover image (it will be in colour on the website) of Scale Force by Thomas Allom is by courtesy of the Wordsworth Trust, which has kindly supported a number of our projects over the years. Please consider supporting them by visiting Dove Cottage, the Wordsworth Museum and its special exhibition ‘Grasmere and the Great War’, until 1st March. Which is my cue to ask members to consider writing and contributing more WWI articles on our locality – we still have three years.
