Moreover, as the first comprehensive Geodiversity Audit and Action Plan prepared specifically for any of the 14 National Parks in Great Britain, it is hoped that this publication will serve as an example of good practice for other National Parks and protected areas. The importance of the rich natural and historical heritage and the need to ensure protection of this precious resource are fundamental to the sustainable management of the Northumberland National Park. Some aspect of earth science impacts upon almost every facet of the district’s character. Policies for the better protection and understanding of wildlife, cultural and historical issues are already in place for the National Park. To these must be added policies designed to understand, protect and interpret the area’s equally rich geodiversity. The Northumberland National Park Authority published its first Biodiversity Action Plan in 2000, since when it has been working in partnership with other agencies and land managers to achieve its objectives for biodiversity including seeking a more favourable conservation status for all the Park’s habitats and species. It is anticipated that this Geodiversity Action Plan will similarly provide the impetus for increased protection and enhancement of geodiversity and encourage the involvement of the local community. Additionally, as we improve our understanding of the role that geodiversity plays within the wider environment, and its influence on our wildlife, we can help ensure a positive future for species and their habitats as they respond to a changing world.

Later in the summer we look forward to Bishop Frank coming to hold a Deanery Confirmation at St Mungo’s Simonburn on the morning of Sunday 27th July. These two visits, for rather different purposes, will both be important occasions, each reminding us of the nature of the Church of England. The tradition of our Church, since Anglo Saxon times, has been to encourage a fairly independently spirited clergy to minister, in co-operation with local people, in distinct geographical areas. Over the years that system has shown both strengths and weaknesses, and the degree to which it has been successful is known only to God! Every ‘system’ involving human beings needs its ‘checks and balances’. At their worst, both clergy and parishioners can become remarkably insular in their outlook, and can come to overly treasure ‘their’ way of doing things. Our Bishops exercise their ministry to remind us that we are part of something bigger and more dynamic than a village club or a gathering of the like-minded.

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion
    ESSOAr | https:/doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10501104.1 | CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0 | First posted online: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 01:27:37 | This content has not been peer reviewed. Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

Minutes of previous meetings and matters arising War Graves Commission signage to go ahead. Mother’s Union Baptism Resources successfully proceeding. The minutes were approved and signed 4. Working as a PCC The Vicar had previously circulated a paper by Rt.Revd Mark Tanner entitled ‘How to run a perfect PCC’. This provided the basis for discussion about the format for PCC meetings. The role and responsibilities of the PCC was explained for new members. It was agreed the meeting should remain primarily a business meeting with a focus on the MAP groups perhaps in more detail every other month. The opening prayer provides the opportunity to think about ‘Keeping God at the centre of the meeting’ The Standing Committee will link in to the Agenda Setting for PCC meetings. The Vicar will liaise with Haydon Bridge to establish dates for future meetings. The second Thursday of the month was suggested. The idea of joint meetings with Haydon Bridge was raised as there are some issues in common.
