  • CHAPTER 4 the Wider Context of the Coastal Archaeology of NE England
    CHAPTER 4 The wider context of the coastal archaeology of NE England 4.1 The Prehistoric Period 1 4.1.1 Early Prehistory Between circa 24000 and 13000 cal BC an ice sheet originating in southern Scotland and northern England spread south as far as the Midlands. If there has been any human settlement in the NE before this the ice sheets removed all evidence. This advance marked the maximum stage of the Last Glaciation, and is known as the Dimilington Stadial after a site in Holderness. The ice sheet reached its maximum extent circa 16000 cal BC but had mostly wasted away except from the extreme uplands by about 11000 cal BC. A return to cold conditions resumed between about 9000 and 8000 cal BC (Jones and Keen 1993, 171) but it is unlikely that much of NE England experienced glacial conditions at this time. The earliest unequivocal evidence for a human presence in the region comes with this melting of the ice. This earliest evidence comes from a group of bone and antler tools found in Victoria Cave near Settle in North Yorkshire, several of which have been radiocarbon dated. It appears that small bands of hunters began to shelter in the cave from about 12,000 BC onwards, during the latter part of the Lateglacial Interstadial. This was not an isolated case but part of a wider movement, similar finds having been recovered from Kinsey and Kirkhead caves to the west while an antler spear point from Gransmoor to the east has also been dated to about 12,000 BC (Tolan-Smith, C.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From Clifford’s Fort, North Tyneside to the Church of St Andrew, Haughton le Skerne, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups. It will be increasingly important to build on these partnerships to achieve the overall aim of reducing the number of sites on the Register.

BY JOHN V. GREGORY. In treating of the church-names of Northumberland and Durham, there is a difficulty which meets us in some of the remote districts, to which more southern counties are less subject, namely, that many of our churches had originally no dedication-names at all. Some remain un- named, and to others names have been given at a subsequent time, and we cannot always distinguish which are of modern origin. Mistakes, too, have been made through ignorance or neglect, so that the original ascrip- tion is sometimes doubtful. HOLY TRINITY. Dedications in this name are found in the Trinity House chapel in Newcastle, ancl in the Northumberland churches of Embleton, Bewick, Cambo, Widdrington, ancl Whitfield; but the three last mentioned are probably all examples of names besto\ved on rebuild- ing in modern times.

Eighty years of peace and prosperity in the North saw the consolidation of the Norman presence along the border. The Anglo/Norman and Scottish/Norman families formed a single aristocracy, holding estates on both sides of the border and being vassals to both kings.
