Management Plan Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site Management Plan 2017 - 2023 February 2017 I Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site Management Plan 2017-2023 February 2017 II Foreword Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site (WHS) was one of the first in the UK to be inscribed and has taken its place among the most famous and popular heritage sites in the world. This recognition brings with it considerable responsibility for its stewardship. Durham Cathedral, the University of Durham and St John’s College as the landowners, along with Durham County Council, are answerable through the UK Government to UNESCO as well as to the wider international community for its conservation and sharing of the WHS with present and future generations. To assist in this, a Management Plan for the Durham World Heritage Site was prepared in 2006. Ten years later, this revision to the Management Plan has been prepared following extensive consultation with organisations and individuals who have an interest in the well-being of this much loved WHS. It has been approved by the Durham WHS Coordinating Committee whose membership includes representatives of the landowners, the County Council, Historic England, UNESCO and the local community. It carries with it the goodwill and commitment of these organisations to work together for the good of the WHS. Durham is a living WHS as a place of residence and work for many people, as well as a place of pilgrimage and historic interest for visitors from around the world. As this Management Plan makes clear, the fact that this is a living WHS with many organisations and other stakeholders engaged with the Site brings with it both opportunities and challenges as we work together to maintain the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of Durham WHS and to ensure a coordinated approach to the site’s management, conservation and protection in years to come. As Chair of the Durham WHS Coordinating Committee, I am confident that this Management Plan provides an excellent focus for such collaboration to ensure the Durham WHS continues to be so special for so many people, whether local resident or visitor from the other side of the world. Our aim is to manage Durham WHS to the very high standards befitting its designation as a World Heritage Site. I would like to take this opportunity to record my special thanks to the community in and around Durham and the numerous partners who have all played an essential part in the production of this plan, especially those members of the Coordinating Committee who have willingly given up their time to inform and steer this Management Plan to fruition.

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.

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.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.
