Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

  • 1 Tyne & Wear Archives User Guide 3 Methodist Registers
    TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES USER GUIDE 3 METHODIST REGISTERS 1. Registers before 1791 From its origins in the 1730s until the death of John Wesley in 1791 Methodism was closely connected with the Church of England. Many Methodists also attended the parish church (until their gradual exclusion) and hence were usually baptised, married, and buried by the Church of England clergy; entries, therefore appear in the parish registers, sometimes under a separate section for ‘dissenters'. A few Methodist registers survive from the later part of this period. The earliest for Tyne and Wear dates from 1787 - a register of baptisms in the Orphan House, Newcastle (MF 286). 2. 1791-1837 After the death of Wesley, Methodism soon became a separate denomination. It was governed by a Conference and organised nationally as a `Connexion' divided into Districts each made up of Circuits consisting of a number of individual churches or `societies'. During this period there were several divisions in Methodism all of which produced their own registers. The most important were: Wesleyan Methodists: the original and largest group Methodist New Connexion: formed in 1797 Primitive Methodists: originated in Staffordshire in 1807-8 and spread rapidly, especially in northern England Bible Christians: formed in Devon in 1815 and centred mainly in the south west, but there was a group of chapels in Northumberland later taken over by the Primitive Methodists Wesleyan Methodist most of these groups joined in 1857 to Association form the united Methodist Free Churches Wesleyan Reformers: (UMFC) Registers were sometimes kept for individual churches, sometimes for a group of churches or a whole circuit in the same volume.

    Alnwick Cemetery, Northumberland War Graves updated 02 June 2021 15:03 Welcome to Alnwick Cemetery The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s first ever War Graves Week A Week to Remember 21st – 28th May 2021 A Week to Shine a Light on the work and the people who keep remembrance of our war dead alive. The South Road Cemetery opened in 1856, its beauty is enhanced by the many mature trees that have been planted here. There are wonderful examples of family grave stones and Victorian monuments remembering loved ones. Alnwick Town Council owns and manages the cemetery, being supported by the residents of Alnwick . In the United Kingdom the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the CWWGC, has 300,000 graves in 13,000 locations which are to be found in parish churchyards and cemeteries. Alnwick Cemetery is one of these locations where thirty six casualties of war are buried in individual graves, two of whom are non-commonwealth soldiers from Poland. This cemetery has a higher number than most of war graves. You will find them scattered around the grounds with the majority marked by an official CWWGC gravestone. Families of the casualties were able to choose this memorial or to have a private memorial or mention their loved one on a family stone. A large group of the CWWG headstones are off the main driveway opposite the tap and to the far right in Section 31 B and Section 26 nearby and below.

    TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES USER GUIDE 15C SCHOOLS – NORTH TYNESIDE MBC This User Guide outlines the records held relating to individual schools in the area covered by North Tyneside MBC. Separate User Guides are available for records of schools in the City of Sunderland (15A), Gateshead MBC (15B), Newcastle City (15D) and South Tyneside MBC (15E). This User Guide is not a comprehensive list of all references to individual schools. The records included here are those normally maintained by the schools themselves and "strays" which are part of collections not associated with education in North Tyneside MBC. References to individual schools will also be found in School Board and Education Committees records. Education Departments of local authorities often maintained files on individual schools and groups of schools such as Multilateral Units, as do some Administrative or Legal Departments. Plans and planning applications may be found in the records of Local Authority Engineers, Surveyors, Planning or Architects Departments. [See User Guide 13] Finally, Police and Fire Authority records may contain reports on incidents of vandalism, fires etc. We do not hold examination results. See http://web.aqa.org.uk/admin/p_records.php for location of records of some current and past examination boards.
