  • Westmoreland in the Late Seventeenth Century by Colin Phillips
    WESTMORLAND ABOUT 1670 BY COLIN PHILLIPS Topography and climate This volume prints four documents relating to the hearth tax in Westmorland1. It is important to set these documents in their geographical context. Westmorland, until 1974 was one of England’s ancient counties when it became part of Cumbria. The boundaries are shown on map 1.2 Celia Fiennes’s view in 1698 of ‘…Rich land in the bottoms, as one may call them considering the vast hills above them on all sides…’ was more positive than that of Daniel Defoe who, in 1724, considered Westmorland ‘A country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even Wales it self. ’ It was a county of stark topographical contrasts, fringed by long and deep waters of the Lake District, bisected by mountains with high and wild fells. Communications were difficult: Helvellyn, Harter Fell, Shap Fell and the Langdale Fells prevented easy cross-county movement, although there were in the seventeenth century three routes identified with Kirkstone, Shap, and Grayrigg.3 Yet there were more fertile lowland areas and 1 TNA, Exchequer, lay subsidy rolls, E179/195/73, compiled for the Michaelmas 1670 collection, and including Kendal borough.

  • South Lakeland District Council Flooding in South Lakeland
    South Lakeland District Council Flooding in South Lakeland - Full Council, February 24th 2016 – Appendix 1 Introduction 1.1. This report is presented to brief Members on the current situation of the flooding impacts and recovery. The report summarises the role of the Council in the context of multi-agency response to the emergency and recovery, the financial impacts of the flood on the Council’s budget and delivery impacts on the Councils work. 2. The flood event 2.1. The severe flooding which resulted during storm Desmond 4-6th December was exacerbated by the already very wet ground conditions brought about by storms Abigail 12-13th November, Barney 17-18th November and Clodagh 29th November. Many parts of north-west Britain had already recorded more than twice the monthly average rainfall during November. Across north-west England and North Wales, November 2015 was the second wettest November in a series from 1910; only November 2009 was wetter. 2.2. Storm Desmond delivered exceptionally high rainfall totals across the Cumbrian fells. 341.4mm of rain fell at Honister Pass, Cumbria, on 5 December 2015, a new UK rainfall record. About 120 weather and flood related alerts were received between12th Nov 2015 to Christmas Day. The paths taken by the exceptional storms differed only slightly - with Cumbria narrowly escaping the immediate impacts of storms Eva and Frank 2.3. These floods followed severe flooding affecting Cumbria in November 2009 and the major floods in Carlisle in January 2005. 3. Residential properties affected 3.1. Kendal – In total 1,401 properties were affected in Kendal, accounting for 72% of all affected properties across the district.

  • South Cumbria Action Plan December 1997
    SOUTH CUMBRIA ACTION PLAN DECEMBER 1997 E n v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE HEAD OFFICE Rio House, Waterside Drive, Aztec West. Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4UD _ E n v ir o n m e n t T A g e n c y Vision for the Local Environment The area covered by this plan encompasses a high quality environment, large parts of which are recognised to be of national and international importance. For example much of the area is in the Lake District National Park, including England's most famous lake - Windermere. The area also contains im portant species and habitats such as the internationally important sites in and around Morecambe Bay and the Duddon Estuary. The quality of the environment also provides a major recreational facility and attracts large numbers of visitors. The first aim of the Agency is to prevent any deterioration in any aspect of environmental quality for which we have responsibility. We recognise that even in an area of such high environmental quality there is room for improvements. The Agency will therefore seek to make environmental improvements through our planned programmes, but also by taking opportunities for improvements as they arise. To help promote a sustainable environment the Agency will operate within its regulatory framework but will also work with key partners to tackle environmental issues in an open and holistic way reflecting on the perceptions and aspirations of the inhabitants of South Cumbria. The environment of the area is unique, and in order to target environmental improvements the Agency will seek to improve scientific understanding of the complex environmental processes at work particular in the lakes and estuaries.
