  • Final Thesis Phil Isherwood
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Bolton Institutional Repository (UBIR) Numinous Connections: Poetry in the Hospice Philip Isherwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Bolton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2015 Numinous Connections - Poetry in the Hospice - Philip Isherwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Bolton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Philip Isherwood Numinous Connections: Poetry in the Hospice Abstract This thesis offers a distinctive approach to writing poetry which has been developed within the context of the author’s/researcher’s observations of, and participation in, end of life care. It will be argued that poetry can have a unique role in supporting patients within a hospice setting. It emerges that there may be a further role of the poem as ‘memorial art’. The practical base to the research has been writing poetry based on conversations with, and the creative artwork of, hospice patients throughout a period of over three years. These working methods have enabled the author to produce a substantial collection of poetry, presented at the start of the thesis, as the prime evidence of the value of the approach. In this research context the ‘numinous’ is interpreted from its extended definition as relating to transcendence, wonder and otherness. Particular components of the writing practice have formed a ‘numinous poetics’. The numinous as a focus in this research has emerged through careful and scholarly reading and reflection as part of the author’s response to the perceived qualities and value of the poems as they were written.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

In order to understand why it is there in a comparatively remote place one needs to know a little of the history of worship in Rivington since the Reformation.

  • Rivington Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Proposals
    Rivington Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Proposals Preface Readers of are advised that this publication is a supporting document in the Chorley Council Local Development Framework (LDF) and therefore forms part of the evidence base. It is NOT a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This document seeks to define the special interest of Rivington Conservation Area and identify the issues that threaten the special qualities of the conservation area. It then provides guidelines to prevent harm and achieve environmental improvements within the area. It will be used to guide future developments to ensure that all alterations respect its character. Introduction Conservation Areas are areas that are considered to have a special architectural or historic interest. It is important to preserve the special character of these areas for the future by imposing building restrictions to protect the appearance of these areas. Historical road layouts, grouping of buildings, street furniture and surfaces all add to the appearance and character of an area. Under section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 the Council is required to review areas of special character that it thinks are worthy of preservation and designate them as conservation areas. Within conservation areas the Council has powers to control demolition, extensions and other alterations. In some areas Article 4 Directions are used to control minor alterations that affect the appearance of buildings within the conservation area, such as installation of plastic framed windows and doors, installation of porches, creating hardstandings for cars in front gardens or any other alterations to the external appearance of the building.
