  • Fields, Farms and Sun-Division in a Moorland Region, 1100–1400*
    AGHR52_1.qxd 15/06/2007 10:23 Page 20 Fields, farms and sun-division in a moorland region, 1100–1400* by Richard Britnell Abstract Earlier work combining the pre-Black Death charter evidence and post-medieval maps for county Durham has shown how extensive areas of waste survived in the county until the early modern period. This paper begins by considering the enclosed arable land of townships within the larger waste, showing how it was normally held in furlongs which often show evidence of subdivision according to the princi- ples of sun-division. The right to graze the remaining waste is discussed. The Bishops of Durham were in the habit of granting enclosures from the waste by charter: the arable of these enclosed farms might also be divided by sun-division. Recent research in the medieval archives of the bishopric and priory of Durham, in conjunc- tion with cartographic evidence drawn from more recent periods, has established that in county Durham before the twelfth century, small townships, with their fields, were separated from each other by extensive tracts of waste. Land use was modified between the twelfth and early fourteenth centuries, especially in the less heavily settled parts of central Durham, by peasant clearing of new lands and the creation of hundreds of new, compact farms, but even in the early fourteenth century there remained large areas of moor, not only in the land rising west of the Wear, and above the Wear valley, but also in more easterly parts of the county. This abundance of colonizable land was characteristic of many parts of northern Britain: similar landscapes in West Yorkshire, Northumberland and Cumbria have been well described in recent studies, though from types of record different from those available in Durham.1 Though many charac- teristics of such late colonized landscapes are best illustrated in a general overview, any detailed account of how these landscapes developed must rely on concentrations of more local evidence.

  • Census Local Partnership Plan (CLPP)
    Sub-county Population in County Durham Ref: C1 2016 ONS Mid-year Population estimates for Area Action Partnership areas Purpose of this brief 1. This briefing note outlines the latest release of national population estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for small areas. These estimates represent the resident population as of 30th June 2016 and have been released down to a LSOA level and by single year of age. This is a follow-up to an earlier report detailing county level trends published in July 2017 on the Integrated Needs Assessment section of the County Durham Partnership website. 2. For the purpose of this report these figures have then been recast to the fourteen Area Action Partnership (AAP) areas to show long term sub-county trends. 3. Supplementary reports for Strategic Partnership and Clinical Commissioning areas are also available on the Integrated Needs Assessment section of the County Durham Partnership website along with set of maps for each area showing population change by age group. 4. Appendix 1 contains a detailed table of population change by year since 2001 by AAP area. 5. Appendix 2 contains details of population change by MSOA and a map showing the relationship between the AAP areas and MSOA boundaries covering the long term period of 2001 to 2016 and he short term period of 2011 to 2016. Map 1: Area Action Partnerships areas covering County Durham County Council Key Messages 6. At a county level local population growth since 2001 has been driven by high positive net migration (+29,102 people) while natural change (births minus deaths) was negative (-648 people) during this period.

The economy, which Brancepeth Colliery dominated, is analyzed. Willington's social conditions, housing and sanitation were all heavily affected by the village's rapid industrialization. The social forces of the village — Straker and Love (the colliery owners), religious groups, class groups and ethnic groups each tried to mould Willington into a certain shape.
