NEVAG Newsletter 81 2018 North East Vernacular Architecture Group NEWSLETTER No 81 Summer 2018 Apologies for long delayed newsletter. This is a June will be well known to anyone with a keen very busy year for me, hopefully I’ll have more interest in County Durham’s history and heritage, time next year. especially in Durham and Weardale. As a young The major item to report, is one most of you will woman she came to Durham University to study already know about – the death of June Crosby history and it was there that she met her future earlier this year, just a month short of her husband Jack (who was to become a noted ninetieth birthday. She was a long-standing botanist) and with whom they had three children, NEVAG member, committee member, stalwart Matthew, Vicky and Alison. June began her recorder, provider of epic refreshments and one career as a teacher and later returned to Durham of the most selfless people you could ever be University at St Hild’s College, training future lucky enough to meet. history teachers. Here she was instrumental in getting local history onto the training curriculum despite departmental opposition. Through her passion for history she was deeply involved with the protection of our heritage becoming closely involved with the City of Durham Trust, serving as Chairman for many years and leading the campaign for the restoration of the city’s early eighteenth-century statue of Neptune. In 1981 June and Jack retired to Stanhope, where she felt the absence of an amenity group such as Durham enjoyed, and so, with others, founded the Weardale Society. She was also an active supporter of many societies, including the Weardale Museum and the NEVAG (she was our first member!) Besides her organizational and fund-raising activities, June was, of course, an accomplished researcher and author. She produced two volumes of Weardale in Old Photographs and is best known for her biography, and indeed advocacy, of the early nineteenth century Durham architect, Ignatius Bonomi. These then are the bald facts of a long, full and fruitful life. But to those of us fortunate to have known June, there was so much more. Firstly, if perhaps flippantly, an accomplished baker, her heaving tables of cakes, scones and lashing of tea are fondly remembered. Quiet kindness and generosity combined, very deceptively, with a 1 steely determination. The good teacher’s gift of possible if they are intending to go to any of the encouragement and, when needed, only positive remaining meetings of the 2017 programme. criticism. And always, above all, a deep devotion 2. Apologies for Absence to her family. Hugely missed, June will live long These were received from Martin Roberts, Lindsay in our memories. Allason Jones, Grace McCombie, Michael Atkinson, Sylvia and Michael Graham, John and Gisela Wheeler Martin Roberts and Christine Ruskin. Now brief reports on past meetings in 2017 and 3. Minutes of 2016 AGM 2018, and details of future events for the rest of The minutes were accepted. the year. 4. Matters Arising There were no matters arising which were not covered by the agenda. Saturday 1 April 2017 5. Secretary and Recording Secretary’s Report Fitzhugh Library, Middleton-in-Teesdale 2016/17 Programme Just under twenty members enjoyed an excellent Healthy attendances in the past year for our main ‘visit’ talk and tour of the Fitzhugh Library. Thanks to meetings – May 2016: Wooler AGM (24), June: Friarside and clocks (30), Sept: Durham (20), Oct: Kiplin with NGT library trustees for hosting the event. (30)…today (29). We had two recording days planned. July 2016: Kepier attracted 20 members, and April 2017: Marwood Farms, which fell through when the farmer, at the last moment, denied access (first time in 30 years). So, Saturday 6 May 2017 AGM 15 members went to the Fitzhugh Library at Middleton in Alnwick Abbey and Hulne Priory Teesdale for an exploratory visit. Special thanks to Sue To Alnwick for the AGM and a good attendance Ward and Belinda Burke of our neighbouring societies for of over 30 members.

Thanks to reports. Building Studies Vol 2 nudged a little further forward, but only a bit, for which I apologise to members. Northumberland Estates staff for guiding us on the day. To ensure that the archive of past NEVAG recording work is shared out and not sitting uniquely on one computer (mine) I have gathered all the recording work together and on receipt of three 8GB memory sticks next week, I will send them to the committee for them to hold and update as the archive grows. The hard copy is held by me but clearly marked. Remaining 2017 Programme As always it would be helpful to know a few weeks in advance if NEVAG members are attending, as if numbers are down, say three weeks away from a meeting, I would usually ask Sue and Belinda to circulate to other societies, something I’d rather not do regularly. Often there are then last-minute surges in attendance. Future 2018 Thoughts for venues? So far, we might try Tudhoe and Byers Green Halls again. I think we have never done Hulne Priory. South Shields? Provisionally NEVAG and NGT will do another joint meeting to Hamsterley Hall (currently under restoration). NORTH EAST VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE GROUP MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Chairman suggested that we could consider paying 11.00 am Saturday, 6th May 2017 for professional services to assist Martin to speed up the held at St James Church Centre, Pottergate, Alnwick, production of the recording volumes as he is so busy, and Northumberland this has been a concern for some years. 6.

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.

  • Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale Part of VC65
    Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2013, third edition. Improvements in this edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. New colour coded maps produced from DMAP. This edition is “regionally aligned”, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. Cover picture—Spring Gentian at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Recorder" system. We have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation.
