  • The Multiple Estate: a Framework for the Evolution of Settlement in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian Cumbria
    THE MULTIPLE ESTATE: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVOLUTION OF SETTLEMENT IN ANGLO-SAXON AND SCANDINAVIAN CUMBRIA Angus J. L. Winchester In general, it is not until the later thirteenth century that surv1vmg documents enable us to reconstruct in any detail the pattern of rural settlement in the valleys and plains of Cumbria. By that time we find a populous landscape, the valleys of the Lake District supporting communi­ ties similar in size to those which they contained in the sixteenth century, the countryside peppered with corn mills and fulling mills using the power of the fast-flowing becks to process the produce of field and fell. To gain any idea of settlement in the area at an earlier date from documentary sources, we are thrown back on the dry, bare bones of the structure of landholding provided by a scatter of contemporary documents, including for southern Cumbria a few bald lines in the Domesday survey. This paper aims to put some flesh on the evidence of these early sources by comparing the patterns of lordship which they reveal in different parts of Cumbria and by drawing parallels with other parts of the country .1 Central to the argument pursued below is the concept of the multiple estate, a compact grouping of townships which geographers, historians and archaeologists are coming to see as an ancient, relatively stable framework within which settlement in northern England evolved during the centuries before the Norman Conquest. The term 'multiple estate' has been coined by G. R. J. Jones to describe a grouping of settlements linked

  • Domestic Village Architecture in Eden at the Turn of the Millennium
    Domestic village architecture in Eden at the turn of the millennium. Tom Clare PhD., FSA 1. INTRODUCTION: the purpose of the record. Although the majority of the population of the United Kingdom now live in urban areas the “English village” continues to have a fascination for many as a place to live in (if only the circumstances allow) or holiday in: witness the popularity of television programmes like “Escape to the Country”, Miss Marple or “Emmerdale Farm”. In particular we can recognise approximately where we are by the architecture of the village: the half-timbered house suggesting ‘Shakespeare Country’ or southern England, the cottage with walls of warm yellow stone, parts of the Cotswolds or Yorkshire, whilst the terraced house of brick might suggest a former “pit village”. The architecture betrays locality or origins and as such can be argued to be an important part of our heritage, our sense of place and of ‘belonging’. Such architectural differences relating to sense of place can be described as ‘vernacular architecture’: ‘Vernacular architecture is a category of architecture based on local needs, construction materials and reflecting local traditions. At least originally, vernacular architecture did not use formally-schooled architects, but relied on the design skills and tradition of local builders. However, since the late 19th century many professional architects have worked in versions of the style.’ Wikipedia. And they led, in the 1990’s to various initiatives by the government; most noteably Village Design Statements, initiated

  • Briefing Paper the Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August
    AWICS Independence…..Integrity.….Value Adrian Waite (In dependent Consultancy Services) Limited Briefing Paper The Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August 2010 Introduction The government’s ‘Big Society’ project was launched by David Cameron in Liverpool on 19th July 2010. As part of this, four areas have been identified as Vanguard Communities where it is intended to ‘turn government completely on its head’. These areas are Eden, Liverpool, Sutton and Windsor & Maidenhead. David Cameron said: “My great passion is building the Big Society. Anyone who’s had even a passing interest in what I’ve been saying for years will know that. “The ‘Big Society’ is…something different and bold… It’s about saying if we want real change for the long-term, we need people to come together and work together – because we’re all in this together. “(We want) Neighbourhoods who are in charge of their own destiny, who feel if they club together and get involved they can shape the world around them. “If you’ve got an idea to make life better, if you want to improve your local area, don’t just think about it – tell us what you want to do and we will try and give you the tools to make this happen.” David Cameron outlined what are to be the three major strands of Big Society which include: “First, social action. The success of the Big Society will depend on the daily decisions of millions of people – on them giving their time, effort, even money, to causes around them. So government cannot remain neutral on that – it must foster and support a new culture of voluntarism, philanthropy, social action.

  • Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021
    Labour Market Briefing Mar 2021 Appendix to March 2021 Labour Market Briefing This appendix is a supplement to the standard Labour Market Briefing and contains February’s ward level data for the Claimant Count/Rate and the Universal Credit Count/Rate. The ward data shown in the tables is for 2019 administrative wards. Maps showing the unemployment rate data at different geographic levels and by age and gender are available by using the data explorer on the Cumbria Intelligence Observatory website (https://www.cumbriaobservatory.org.uk/data-catalog-explorer/) Unfortunately similar maps for the broader Universal Credit claimant rate are not available on the site. Important Notes: Claimant Count (Unemployment) – this is a measure of the number of people claiming benefits who are available for and actively seeking employment and is therefore the best measure of labour market conditions. It is a count of JSA claimants (contribution based and income based) plus Universal Credit claimants in the Searching for Work conditionality group. Due to the easing of UC jobsearch conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic, this will include some furloughed/self-employed people who have jobs but are claiming top-up benefits (although most will be counted in the broader UC count rather than the unemployment count). Universal Credit – this is a count of all Universal Credit claimants in any conditionality group, including those not working, not seeking or able to work and those claiming whilst in work, including most of those who are furloughed and claiming top-up benefits. It is therefore most appropriately used as a measure of income deprivation rather than specifically as a labour market measure.

There is the shaft of a medieval stone cross in the churchyard, minus its cross, which was broken off during Cromwell’s time. This was almost certainly preceded by other crosses erected here probably before the first church was built by the Saxons. The present church is of late Norman origin, but has been radically rebuilt and altered over the centuries. It is well worth a visit. The area around the village is an archaeologist’s paradise and has more visible remains of ancient village settlements than anywhere else in the County.
