ULLOCK. the Area and Population of This Township Have Been Returned in the Parish

• · DEAN PARISH. 613 the Branthwaite estate was sold to .T. C. Curwen, Esq., of Workington, but it is now the property of Lord Leconfield. The customary tenants were enfranchised by General Skelton for a payment of eighty years' purchase. · . The village of Branthwaite is situated on the steep banks of the Marron. 4-! miles south-east of Workington. Branthu:aite Hall, the baronial residence of the Skeltons for many generations, is a venerable looking fabric, bearing a dense mantle of ivy, and now used as a. farm-house. It has been made the subject of a poem by William Hetherington, a local poet of some celebrity, who was born here in 1788. He followed the occupation of surveyor and valuer, and died in 1865. He was the author of several other pieces, none of which were of sufficient merit to earn for him more than local fame. ULLOCK. The area and population of this township have been returned in the parish. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in agriculture, and are collected in the hamlets of Ullock, Pardshaw, and Deanscales. At Dean Moor is a colliery, employing about 18 n1en anil producing 60 tons of coal per week. It consists of two shafts an air shaft and • an upcast shaft, and is sunk to the depth of 32 fathoms. Ullock villa.ge is situated on the Marron, at the southern extremity of the parish, 5~ miles S. W. by S. of Cockermouth. The Wesleyan chapel in the village is a. neat structure, erected at a cost of about £450, raised by subscription. The foundation was laid by Mr. Brown, of Holme Wood, on Good Friday, 1875. Pardsltaw, or Pardsey, is a small hamlet in this township, 4~ miles S.S.W. of Cocketmouth; and Paxdshaw Hall is another hamlet 4 miles S. by W. of the same town. There is here an ancient meeting house belonging to the Society of Friends, which is endowed with two estates, the rents of which are applied to the purposes of educa tion and the maintenance of poor Friends. Pardsey Cragg, it appears, was formerly '' a famous place for Quakers, being remote from any church;" and George Fox, their founder, speaks in his journal of two general meetings of the society being held here in 1057 and 1663. Dean Scales is a hamlet 3~ miles S.W. by S. of Cockermouth. The terminal portion of the name is one of many evidences of the presence of considerable numbers of Norsemen in Cumberland, who succeeded in engrafting much of their own language upon the Saxon. In Norse the word signifies a shealing or cattle shed, the full name thus signifying " the cattle sheds of Dean." The district around was formerly a common, where, doubtless, large numbers of cattle were pastured. It has since been enclosed and granted into tenancies. BIOGRAPHY.

Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

Annual Monitoring Report 2011/12 Introduction Background 1.1 This is the eighth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by Allerdale Borough Council. It covers the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. 1.2 The AMR reports on a number of monitoring statistics, including progress made towards the Local Plan. The publication of the AMR enables the Council to publish a comprehensive set of data about the Borough that is easily and publicly accessible, to meet a wide range of data requests that Planning Services receives. 1.3 The current system of plan making is designed to be a continuous process, with the local planning authority regularly preparing, adopting and reviewing Local Development Documents, to take account of changing national and local circumstances. Keeping development plans up-to-date is assessed by the AMR. Changes to Monitoring of Indicators 1.4 As part of the package of reforms to the planning system put forward by the current government, there is no longer a requirement for local planning authorities to monitor indicators previously set at the national and regional level. Instead, the onus is for local planning authorities to determine indicators which best complements their policy requirements. 1.5 Although there is an intention to remove the requirement to submit the AMR to the Government, the Localism Act requires for Planning Authorities to publish an AMR on the implementation of their development plan and Local Development Scheme. 1.6 At the July 2011 meeting of the Cumbria Monitoring Officer’s Group (CMOG) the implications of emerging legislation and guidance, and the removal of information concerning the core indicator set were discussed.
