Helen was a founder member of the Trust who played a huge part in setting it up. Her talents as a writer and researcher cannot be overstated. She was also responsible for orga- nizing some of the Trusts most memorable occasions and this she did with meticulous detail and planning. But above all Helen was a lovely person who radiated enthusiasm. Her passion for gardens and historic landscapes has been richly woven into the fabric of the Yorkshire Gardens Trust and this will be her legacy. She loved life, and lived it to the full. She attended almost all our events and it was always a pleasure to be in her company. I can see her now at the Summer Picnic enjoying a glass of wine and being with friends of like-minded interests. It is hard and extremely sad to imagine these occasions without her. Our thoughts are with her family. PAGE 2 NEWSLETTER ISSUE 26 Funding Appeal for Parcevall Hall Gardens Special Project cont.

I am grateful to the University of Sheffield, particularly the History Department, for the use of their facilities during my time as a post-graduate student there. Professor Anthony Fletcher has been constantly encouraging and supportive, as well as a great friend, since I began the research under his supervision. I am indebted to him for continuing to supervise my work even after he left Sheffield to take a Chair at Durham University. Following Anthony's departure from Sheffield, Professor Patrick Collinson and Dr Mark Greengrass kindly became my surrogate supervisors. Members of Sheffield History Department's Early Modern Seminar Group were a source of encouragement in the early days of my research.

This policy now fully integrates the Local Learning Area within the body of the text. We have also included a summary table in Section 4 - Visits and Planning Management. Hopefully this provides a clear overview of the core tasks of planning and approval and what is expected. Instructions for using this document When using this document there are a number of sections which will require adapting to meet your schools needs e.g. the type of school: maintained; academy etc. All of the sections that are red or blue will need to be addressed, and some of the instructions removed. Hopefully the changes that are required are all self-evident but they have been recorded within a table of contents at the end of the document. This document also includes a Local Learning Area (LLA) appendix. The LLA is a proportionate approach to managing visits which reduces the level of bureaucracy that school management and visit staff have to undertake in order to address the health and safety associated with educational visits. Use of the LLA assumes that the visits are routine i.e. they are occurring regularly and at least once a month.

  • 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.
