  • 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.

Just before the pandemic struck, as we submitted our bid for a grant to finance our project ‘Managing Archives’, we felt after a lot of hard work that we could see light at the end of our tunnel. Unfortunately, as you know, it turned out to be a train coming in the opposite direction. Though something of a shock at the time, we are now philosophical about this. The N.H.L. Fund felt that they should cancel all current applications in order to conserve resources for dealing with the crisis then facing existing projects. None of this reflected badly on our submission and there are valuable results from it that, given the chance, we can return to.

  • North East Inheritance
    North East Inheritance Exhibition Catalogue 21 September – 16 October 2009 Palace Green Library 1 The North East Inheritance Project Durham University Library today holds some 150,000 probate records of 75,000 individuals from County Durham and Northumberland - the old Durham diocese - who lived between the early 16th century and the mid-19th century. With the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Record Collections, Durham University and the Genealogical Society of Utah the North East Inheritance project has catalogued and digitally photographed the Durham diocese probate collection (1526- 1858). The collection will be made freely available online in 2010. Probate is the process of proving a will and of administering the estate of a deceased person. This process is today overseen nationally by the civil courts, but before 1858 probate business in England and Wales was administered in the main by ecclesiastical courts in a system of provincial, diocesan and special jurisdictions. In the natural course of several hundred years of this work substantial probate record collections have accumulated in various registries and archives. Making the Durham records available online and for free now offers to historians and genealogists an unsurpassed opportunity for study and discovery. This exhibition offers a selection of probate records from the Durham collection. These have been chosen to illustrate both the probate process and various typical document types, and also to illustrate a number of research topics for which probate records can provide important evidence. The plan of the exhibition topics is as follows. 1 Introduction p.3 2 Family History p.5 3 Local History p.9 4 Academic Use of Probate p.13 5 Death, Dying and Disposal p.17 6 Health and Medicine p.20 7 Plague p.23 8 The Wreck of the Palermo p.26 9 Trade and Industry p.28 10 Literacy and Education p.31 11 Enemies, Foreign and Domestic p.33 12 Northeasterners Abroad p.36 Will of Peter Trumbel of Gateshead, butcher.

  • St Peter's Church Bywell
    St Peter’s Church Bywell Northumberland An Archaeological Assessment March 2007 1 St Peter’s Church, Bywell The two medieval churches of Bywell, now bereft of any village of such, stand close together on the north bank of the River Tyne c 20 km west of Newcastle; the northern of the pair, St Andrews is now redundant, but the southern, St Peter’s, is still the parish church for Stocksfield, although its parish is largely on the south bank of the river. Description The church consists of a nave that has a west tower, a south aisle with a south porch, and a north-eastern chapel, and a chancel (which the south aisle overlaps) with a north-eastern vestry. The Exterior The church from the south-west The West Tower is built of coursed roughly-squared stone, the stones varying in height, with fairly well squared but irregular quoins at the western angles. There are two chamfered offsets on the west side of the tower, one at about half height and the second a metre or so below the embattled parapet, carried on a hollow-chamfered string course, which has a moulded coping. The southern part of the west wall has what appears to be a projecting footing c 1.5 m long at its south end.; this is in fact the lowermost course of an earlier wall, and has, now concealed beneath gravel, a chamfered plinth. The earlier wall is set on a slightly different alignment to the present one, so that at the north end the present wall face overhangs the plinth.

  • Bewleys of Cumberland
    THE BEWLEYS OF CUMBERLAND AND THEIR IRISH AND OTHER DESCENDANTS WITH FULL PEDIGREES OF THE FAMILY FROM 1332 TO THE PRESENT DAY BY SIR EDMUND THOMAS BEWLEY M.A., LL.D. ILLUSTRATED DUBLIN WILLIAM McGEE, 18, NASSAU STREET 1902 ARMS OF THE BEWLEYS OF CUMBERLAND as confirmed to Sir Edmund Thomas Bewley by Ulster King of Arms. “THE expansion and extension of genealogical study is a very remarkable feature of our own times. Men are apparently awaking to the fact there are other families besides those described in the peerage that those families have their records, played their part in history furnished the bone and sinew of national action, and left traces behind them which it behoves their descendants to search out and keep in remembrance. There is nothing in this that need be stigmatised as vain and foolish; it is a very natural instinct, and it appears to be one of the ways in which a general interest in national history may be expected to grow. It is an increasing pursuit both in America and England, and certainly helps, by the promotion of careful investigation, and by the publication of recondite memorials, the more complete adjustment of personal and local details.” STUBBS’ Lectures on Medieval and Modern History. Printed at the Dublin University Press By Ponsonby & Weldrick PREFACE f any apology is needed for the present work, it will be Ifound, I think, in the extract from the late Bishop Stubbs’ Oxford Lectures given on a previous page. From the Pedigrees at the end of the book it will be seen that the descendants of the Bewleys of Cumberland are now scattered through England, Ireland, India, the British Colonies, and the United States of America ; and it is not only natural but right that some effort should be made to collect and preserve the records of their ancestors, and to show the evidence by which descent from them can be traced.
