Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one. -

Carlisle Rural Masterplanning Settlement Analysis Template
Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning GREAT ORTON GREAT ORTON Figure 1: Location of Great Orton January 2013 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning GREAT ORTON Settlement profile: Strategic position Great Orton is over 5 miles southwest of Carlisle. It is a mile from the busy A595. The settlement’s position and services means it lacks any strategic role. However, the presence of a primary school, which serves a fairly wide rural area, brings people to the village. It also has an established, well-used shop. It has a number of footpaths passing through the village and is better served than many surrounding areas with bridle-paths. General description of settlement Great Orton is a strung-out linear settlement extending over half a mile along a road running in a north-south direction. There is a historically significant church with Norman origins and a variety of buildings of differing ages including some very recent housing infill. There are farms and farm buildings in the settlement, indicative of the importance at least historically, of farming for this area. The houses are mainly 2-storey although there is single storey sheltered accommodation and some bungalows at the southern edge of the village. There is an attractive variety of materials and a distinctive geometric style to the architecture of the older houses in the vicinity of the Church. It is surprising that this part at least is not a conservation area. The road junction at the Church is potentially the focal point of the village, but the layout at present is divided with parking for the Church and a grassy area. -

Orton Moss Near Carlisle
Orton Moss Near Carlisle What to see Devil’s bit scabious, marsh valerian. Woodcock, great spotted woodpecker Orton Moss is a former raised mire which has been greatly modified by man’s activities. The moss is divided into a large number of strips and fields which would traditionally have been used for peat cutting and grazing during the 19th and early 20th centuries. To early naturalists it was a very important wildlife site, particularly noted for its butterflies. It was once the haunt of the rare wood white, now extinct in Cumbria, the large heath, a species of open raised mire habitats, and the marsh fritillary which was last recorded in 1980. Most of the fields have now been abandoned and this has led to an increase in woodland cover and these species have disappeared. Bucknill’s Field is maintained as a wet meadow by annual mowing or grazing. Devil’s bit scabious, knapweed, meadowsweet and wild angelica are abundant in the wetter areas of the field. The woodland compartments contain small remnants of raised mire vegetation including Sphagnum moss and bog rosemary. Royal fern also occurs in two locations. The woodland is dominated by birch and Scots pine which has seeded naturally onto the former bog. Birds likely to be seen include willow tit, woodcock, great spotted woodpecker and willow warbler. Bucknill’s Field was purchased in 1964 with money donated by Cannon E J Bucknill. The two areas of woodland are leased from Natural England.

Elementary Education
Education before 1944 Guidance notes April 2013 1 Education before 1944: Private, voluntary and state Introduction The expansion, financing and control of school provision Questions and approaches Sources Select Bibliography Introduction There is a wealth of source material, most of it, not surprisingly, created by would-be or actual providers and the government rather than the recipients of the schooling. The purpose, financing, control and content of schooling, then as now, were regularly debated and contested and the sources provide rich pickings for historians. The social background, training and career paths of the newly emerging teaching profession have also attracted attention. Measuring schooling’s impact in relation to other factors which affected children’s lives, however, has always proved more intractable. In the absence of any substantive qualitative evidence a variety of quantitative measures have been used including the ability of marriage partners to sign their names in marriage registers but also the number of children achieving certain ‘standards’ in basic subjects. The expansion, financing and control of school provision Although the state had sought to stipulate the content of religious education in grammar schools since the 1560s in its role as guardian of the newly established Church of England, until the 1830s all schooling was provided without state aid or any secular inspection. There was no ‘system’ as such; provision varied across the country. It potentially reached only a minority of the population, was highly gendered and tailored towards one’s social class and position in society. It was rarely free but depending on the availability of other income, fees could be subsidized or met for some pupils. -

Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2015/0213
Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2015/0213 Proposed Proposed 250kw wind turbine on a 30m mast with a 47m blade tip Development: Location: Aikton House Aikton Wigton Recommendation: REFUSE Summary/Key Issues Issue Conclusion Principle of Paragraph 93 of the NPPF makes clear that the provision of Development renewable energy infrastructure is central to the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Regard should be had to the Ministerial Statement of 18 June 2015 which states planning permission should only be granted where “following consultation it can be demonstrated that the planning impacts identified by affected local communities have been fully addressed and therefore the proposal has their backing”. Landscape and Regard has been had to three recent appeal decisions for Visual Impact turbines within this locality, all of which were refused. It is considered that the proposal has the potential for significantly harmful cumulative impacts on the character of the landscape and the visual amenities of the locality. The application site is located within an area identified as having significant clustering of vertical infrastructure. Residential The proposed turbine is within the 800m of residential Amenity properties. Although the proposal would be visible from some residential properties given the angles, intervening landscape, topography and buildings this would not result in significant changes in views from residential properties. Heritage No significant harm identified. Ecology No significant harm arising from the development Benefits The proposal will make a small contribution to renewable energy deployment nationally. It would also make a contribution to the running costs of the farm business by creating an alternative source of income, supporting rural enterprise and economic activity.
