  • Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text. Place Page No. Source of the River Tees 3 Middleton-in-Teesdale 5 Barnard Castle 9 River Greta confluence 15 Piercebridge 18 Darlington 20 Yarm 28 River Leven confluence 35 Stockton-on-Tees 36 Middlesbrough 37 Saltburn-by-the-Sea 46 Hartlepool 48 There is a sketch map of the river and the main tributaries in Table T1 on Page 50. The Bibliography is on Page 52. 1 River Tees and its Tributaries The River Tees flows for 135km, generally west to east from its source on the slopes of Crossfell, the highest Pennine peak, to the North Sea between Redcar and Hartlepool.

Eighty years of peace and prosperity in the North saw the consolidation of the Norman presence along the border. The Anglo/Norman and Scottish/Norman families formed a single aristocracy, holding estates on both sides of the border and being vassals to both kings.

    The Spiral Stair or Vice: its origins, role and meaning in medieval stone castles. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Charles Ryder February 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For all their help and support, I wish to record my warmest thanks to the staff of the British Library, John Ryland‟s Library, the University of Liverpool and especially the staff of the University of Chester; to the owners of structures with spiral stairs who opened their doors to me, especially the de Vere family at Hedingham Castle and Mr Louis de Wett and Ms Gabrielle Drake at Much Wenlock Priory; to the custodians and managers of historical sites and in particular the lady who gave me a private tour of Charlemagne‟s Chapel, Aachen whose name I never knew and Mr N Fahy at Castle Rising; to a number of members of the Castle Studies Group, the M6 Group and the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies who gave good advice that assisted in my research both when crossing muddy fields in cold rain to visit castles, in warm lecture rooms and by various forms of mail; to people in Japan and China who were pleased to answer my questions and send photographs and articles; to Jean Mesqui, who encouraged my early research and corrected my French writing; almost finally, to my wife who, enduring much, visited almost as many castles as me and developed a excellent eye – far better than mine – for spotting castle features; however, above all I give thanks to my primary supervisor, Professor Peter Gaunt, who was my rock in the storm and from whom I learned many things, not always related to history and castles.
