  • 17. Early Social and Political History of Hetton 1800-1850
    17. EARLY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL HISTORY OF HETTON 1800-1850 A prelude to Early Trade Unionism. During the medieval period in Britain trade unionism took the form of workers’ and merchants’ guilds. Here skilled workers banded together, initially to help each other to protect their skills and find work. The early guilds were fraternities of workers organised in a form which resembled something of a professional association, a trade union, a cartel, and even a secret society. They were protective of the mysteries and technologies associated with their work or their businesses. The development of the industrial revolution during the 18th century prompted a number of trade disputes. Labour unrest grew in various industries which became worrying to the governments of the day. As a result they introduced a number of Combination Acts in 1799 and 1800, at the height of the Napoleonic Wars, which made it illegal for workers to strike. Strikers could receive three months imprisonment or two month’s hard labour if they broke these laws. The Combination Acts introduced no new principle into law because unlawful combinations already carried stringent punishments including transportation. The landed gentry and owners of industries did not understand the problems of industrial society and this harsh legislation was their way of maintaining law and order. Imposition of these laws was soon met with opposition and overt public disorder occurred during the period 1815-1824 because there was no safety valve through which the lower orders could express their dissatisfaction. This public disorder included riots, marches and demonstrations. One notable group was the Luddites (1811-16) - Luddites :- Men who took the name of a (perhaps) mythical individual, Ned Ludd who was reputed to live in Sherwood Forest.

  • 20. East Rainton
    20. EAST RAINTON East Rainton is a former mining village which lies on the main road in a north easterly direction between Durham and Sunderland. It is one of five places with Rainton as their place names. Travelling from Houghton-le-Spring to Durham, one passes through Rainton Bridge, East Rainton, Middle Rainton, West Rainton and finally Rainton Gate. Rainton first appears as ‘Raegnwalds Tun’ a farming settlement or estate established in the early 900s by Raegnwald, whose father, Franco, was one of the seven monks who escorted St Cuthbert’s coffin from Lindisfarne to Chester-le-Street in AD 883, a hundred years before it was brought to Durham city. By the 12th century two distinct settlements had emerged – ‘Raintona et alia Raintona’ – East and West Rainton. At this time the place name was spelt in a bewildering variety of ways, e.g. Reinington, Renigton and Rainton. In the Middle Ages Rainton (both East and West) belonged to Durham Priory who had a manorial farm and park there. The appointment of a park keeper is recorded in 1338 and in 1508 Prior Thomas had a grant of free warren from Bishop Bainbridge. By the 19th century the Dean and Chapter of Durham were Lords of the Manor and the Marquis of Londonderry is the chief landowner (Robert Surtees: The History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham 1816-1840) The old Durham-Sunderland road, running past East Rainton, also probably dates back to the Middle Ages. It has been improved over the centuries, beginning in the 1700s when it became a turnpike road, which is still commemorated by the name of the hamlet, Rainton Gate, where one of the road’s toll gates was located, and culminating more recently in its transformation into the dual-carriageway A690.

Separate User Guides are available for records of schools in Gateshead MBC (15B), North Tyneside MBC (15C), 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 the City of Sunderland. 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.
