Barnard Castle Ramblers – Walk Report Wednesday 25th July - Barnard Castle Oh no, not again!! This is our 4th walk in a row, in this so called summer, that we have been wet. The forecast was for rain overnight and then just cloudy. Unfortunately it seems they "got it wrong again". When 8 of us turned up at the Museum there wa s still a fine drizzle, with no sign of a let up. Anyway, off we set down Parsons Lonnen and then down the Demesnes to the river. This we crossed and did the steady climb up Y bank and through Startforth. We ignored the first 2 stiles and used a short stre tch of road before turning up the first of many fields on our way to Boldron. The wet grass meant that we soon had wet feet and soggy trouser bottoms. Thankfully a lot of work has been done on the Boldron paths, so the stiles are a lot easier and slabs hav e been placed across the worst of the ditches and boggy sections. The seats near the quoits pitch in Boldron came in very useful for our late coffee stop. It turned out that most of the group had ne ver been to Boldron before. A slightly different route wa s taken across more wet fields to Boldron Well. There is a leaflet about this well which was restored with a lottery grant. The leaflet also has direction for a short walk from Boldron, using some of the route we were using. We had a quick photo stop befor e we headed once more towards Startforth. However, opposite Wise Hill farm we turned East to the road. At this point thegroup were given options. the leaders explained that the route they intended using down Thorsgill was very wet, slippery and very diffi cult in places. Everyone said they were "up for the challenge", even one of our older ladies who hasn't walked with us for at least 2 years. Thankfully "we all made it" and it looked as though it was sunny when we got out of the woodland. Unfortunately thi s was just a myth as it was still drizzling. The short climb took us up to Egglestone Abbey where we had a late lunch stop. Everyone said what a nice location it was for lunch and it even faired up for us. "At last". The final stretch took us across Abbey Bridge, then the riverside path past the sewerage works. We then climbed back to the top path across the Demesnes. Back at the Museum, 5 of us went into Cafe Bowes. We indulged in lashings of Tea, Scones and gorgeous Carrot Cake. This rounded off what had been quite a challenging short walk. We were all reluctant to leave and head for home. Finishing in a teashop or someones home seems to be a feature these days on our walks. Joan Martin. .

Subject Guide 1 – Records Relating to Inclosure
Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Subject Guide 1 – Records Relating to Inclosure Issue no. 19 July 2020 Contents Introduction 1 Organisation of List 2 Alphabetical List of Townships 2 A 2 B 2 C 3 D 4 E 4 F 4 G 4 H 5 I 5 K 5 L 5 M 6 N 6 O 6 R 6 S 7 T 7 U 8 W 8 Introduction Inclosure (occasionally spelled “enclosure”) refers to a reorganisation of scattered land holdings by mutual agreement of the owners. Much inclosure of Common Land, Open Fields and Moor Land (or Waste), formerly farmed collectively by the residents on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, had taken place by the 18th century, but the uplands of County Durham remained largely unenclosed. Inclosures, to consolidate land-holdings, divide the land (into Allotments) and fence it off from other usage, could be made under a Private Act of Parliament or by general agreement of the landowners concerned. In the latter case the Agreement would be Enrolled as a Decree at the Court of Chancery in Durham and/or lodged with the Clerk of the Peace, the senior government officer in the County, so may be preserved in Quarter Sessions records. In the case of Parliamentary Enclosure a Local Bill would be put before Parliament which would pass it into law as an Inclosure Act. The Acts appointed Commissioners to survey the area concerned and determine its distribution as a published Inclosure Award.

County Durham Landscape Character Assessment: Classification
LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE LANDSCAPE CLASSIFICATION The Landscape Classification The County Durham Landscape Character Assessment identifies landscape types and character areas at three different levels - the regional, the sub-regional and the local. Regional County Character Areas Sub-regional Broad Landscape Types Broad Character Areas See Table 1 Local Local Landscape Types See Table 2 Local Sub-types County Character Areas. County Character Areas are based on Natural England’s Countryside Character Areas. There are 6 Countryside Character Areas in County Durham, all of which extend beyond its administrative boundaries. County Character Areas are effectively those parts of Countryside Character Areas lying within the County. The boundaries of County Character Areas are more precisely drawn than those of Countryside Character Areas as they are based on a more detailed level of assessment. In reality the boundaries between these broad landscape zones are often gradual and progressive and difficult to identify precisely on the ground. The character of County Character Areas may differ in some ways from that of the larger Countryside Character Areas to which they belong. The descriptions of County Character Areas given here in the Landscape Assessment may therefore be slightly different to the descriptions given in other publications for Countryside Character Areas. Broad Landscape Types and Character Areas Broad Landscape Types are landscapes with similar patterns of geology, soils, vegetation, land use, settlement and field patterns identified at a broad sub-regional level. As with County Character Areas, the boundaries between Broad Landscape Types are not always precise, as the change between one landscape and another can be gradual and progressive.

SETTLEMENTS 8 County Durham Settlement Study September 2017 Planning the future of County Durham 1 Context 1 Context County Durham has a population of 224,000 households (Census 2011) and covers an area of 222,600 hectares. The County stretches from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the west to the North Sea Heritage Coast in the east and borders Gateshead and Sunderland, Northumberland, Cumbria and Hartlepool, Stockton, Darlington and North Yorkshire. Although commonly regarded as a predominantly rural area, the County varies in character from remote and sparsely populated areas in the west, to the former coalfield communities in the centre and east, where 90% of the population lives east of the A68 road in around half of the County by area. The Settlement Study 2017 seeks to provide an understanding of the number and range of services available within each of the 230 settlements within County Durham. (a) Identifying the number and range of services and facilities available within a settlement is useful context to inform decision making both for planning applications and policy formulation. The range and number of services within a settlement is usually, but not always, proportionate to the size of its population. The services within a settlement will generally determine a settlement's role and sphere of influence. This baseline position provides one aspect for considering sustainability and should be used alongside other relevant, local circumstances.
