Of St Cuthbert'
A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland. -

PETERS, YORK.—The first match of the season was played on May 31st in hot weather,, and on a dry and fast wicket. Goodall lost the toss and York batted first. Crawshaw and Piatt began the York innings to the bowling of Garbutt and MacDonald. With the score at 26, Piatt was bowled by a beautiful ball from Garbutt. Tendall then joined Crawshaw, and the batsmen booked like making a good score. Both hit hard, if somewhat luckily, until Forrest, going on to bowl instead of MacDonald, clean bowled Crawshaw with his first ball. Butterfield did not stay long, and soon afterwards Tendall was run out by a brilliant bit of fielding by Jackson at cover. No one else offered much resistance except Prior, who played a plucky innings, though he had sume luck, several hits dropping just out of reach of fielders, and the innings closed for 172. The Durham fielding reached a very high standard no serious mistake being made. Of the bowlers Garbutt, though he sent down some loose balls, on the whole bowled very well, and Forrest kept a good length and was never easy to score from. Ward and Williamson opened the Durham innings. At first runs came slowlyr but Ward w&s just settling down when he was dismissed by a somewhat dubious catch low down in the slips. Ferens unfortunately hit his wickets playing back to Davis. Ilderton, missed at the wicket before he scored, hit up 27 before being bowled off his pads. -

Writing in March, it all still seems a bit unreal but July is rapidly approaching and the removal men have been booked, so it is now just a matter of time. Life seems increasingly hectic and next term is full of celebration events and nice surprises, so it should be a lot of fun. Frankly, there has not been much time to ponder the future, but I have managed to arrange four books to write or edit (or is it five?), so I’ll be kept busy once we leave Durham! It has indeed been a hectic year. When I wrote last year, I could not have foreseen that the Vice-Chancellor would ask me to become Acting Pro-Vice-Chancellor Colleges and Student Experience for Michaelmas Term, whilst we waited for Owen Adams to disengage himself from the Army and move to Durham. -

As usual, the hapless writer of the editorial finds that all his thunder has been stolen by other contributors, and that he is left to make bricks without straw. VE Day, the waterless Wear, 'Jack' Lawson and Dr. Bullock—all these are dealt with 'elsewhere in this issue." He will therefore confine himself to an expression of good wishes to all and sundry—to Mr. and Mrs. Bunbury and the three 'little B's.', to the boys who are leaving, to the rest of the School for pleasant holidays, and to his O.D. readers with the sincere hope that before long it may be possible to have an O.D. reunion on a big scale at the School. V.E. DAY. We compressed all our excitement into one day, and added the second to our half-term holiday. After a short Thanksgiving Service in chapel the morning was spent in preparing the bonfire, and in seeing what the rest of Durham was doing—not very much, apparently, at that time in the morning. -
Kent County Cricketers a to Z
Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’. -
Management Plan
Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site Management Plan 2017 - 2023 February 2017 I Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site Management Plan 2017-2023 February 2017 II Foreword Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site (WHS) was one of the first in the UK to be inscribed and has taken its place among the most famous and popular heritage sites in the world. This recognition brings with it considerable responsibility for its stewardship. Durham Cathedral, the University of Durham and St John’s College as the landowners, along with Durham County Council, are answerable through the UK Government to UNESCO as well as to the wider international community for its conservation and sharing of the WHS with present and future generations. To assist in this, a Management Plan for the Durham World Heritage Site was prepared in 2006. Ten years later, this revision to the Management Plan has been prepared following extensive consultation with organisations and individuals who have an interest in the well-being of this much loved WHS. It has been approved by the Durham WHS Coordinating Committee whose membership includes representatives of the landowners, the County Council, Historic England, UNESCO and the local community. It carries with it the goodwill and commitment of these organisations to work together for the good of the WHS. Durham is a living WHS as a place of residence and work for many people, as well as a place of pilgrimage and historic interest for visitors from around the world. As this Management Plan makes clear, the fact that this is a living WHS with many organisations and other stakeholders engaged with the Site brings with it both opportunities and challenges as we work together to maintain the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of Durham WHS and to ensure a coordinated approach to the site’s management, conservation and protection in years to come. -
TIMELINE of CLUB HISTORY 1860 -- 2010
Durham Amateur Rowing Club (Founded 5 th December 1860) TIMELINE of CLUB HISTORY 1860 -- 2010 Compiled by Barry Hudson August 2010 First Grand Win 1863 1860 Extracts from Durham County Advertiser archive. A meeting was held at Ward's Waterloo Hotel on Wednesday 21 st November by a few gentlemen interested in aquatic sports to ascertain the practicability of forming an amateur rowing club in this city. The meeting though not numerously attended was sufficiently large to give hopes that before long the club will be organized. Some draft rules which had been called by Mr. Brignall Junior from the London Rowing Club and the Tyne Rowing Club were read over and discussed when it was resolved that they should be circulated amongst those desirous of joining and so form a basis on which any suggested improvements may be grafted. After appointing Mr. Brignall Junior as Secretary pro tem the meeting adjourned on the understanding that they were to re-assemble in a fortnight (the 5th proxime) for the purpose of finally settling the rules by which time we trust there will be a considerable accession of strength. It has long been proved that outdoor amusements and in the main cricket and boating are the very best means of bringing out the bone and muscle of our English youth. As all therefore are equally interested in assisting to maintain our national sports we hope that those of our fellow citizens who are verging on or have passed the meridian of life will not forget that they can do good service in the formation of even a rowing club by becoming honorary members. -
