Watch this space... 11 Around Kirkby Lonsdale Note from the Editor As you can see this really is a bumper edition of the AKL. There have been so many things going on over the summer and I hope you can join me in congratulating those that have given their time, effort and money to support the community and local charities. For me September often feels like a new start. It is a new school year for my children and I get to meet all the pupils coming into reception at the school where I work. It is also a time when groups start up again after the summer break. As you read the AKL consider whether any of the groups needing more members might be of interest to you. Or if you're feeling adventurous you could always set up your own club. Now I have my two dogs I think Kirkby really needs a doggy social club...Whadda ya think? Deadline for Oct AKL: Midday Thursday 15th Sept. Nothing received after the deadline can be included.

As a non resident of KL , I had not realised that ‘The Friends’ was started 25 years ago by Eileen Flight in response to a request from the then Rector Canon Betteridge, who said ‘Eileen, I have a small job for you’! Eileen sadly died in June this year but she had been the chairman and inspiration to the charity for many years previously. ‘The Friends’ now have approximately 150 members and it is estimated that through their fund raising events over the 25 years, they have donated some £100,000 to the church, to cover projects from the purchase of light bulbs to boiler replacement and floodlights.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional

    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

    Beckgate Farmhouse £575,000

    BECKGATE FARMHOUSE £575,000 Barbon, The Yorkshire Dales, LA6 2LT The quintessential country cottage. Incredibly charismatic and in an enviable village setting, this is an absolute ‘gem’. This delightful cottage is newly renovated in a gentle and sympathetic manner with great respect for the architectural features and history of this period property. A three storey home has been created offering four bedrooms and three reception rooms. Set within large established gardens of 0.30 acres (0.12 hectares) and enjoying lovely views of Barbon Fell with great parking provision - all in all, it’s a great place to embrace village life in this sought after Lune Valley village. A must see! www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to BECKGATE FARMHOUSE £575,000 Barbon, The Yorkshire Dales, LA6 2LT There's no doubt about it, this is an utterly charming and beguiling country cottage. Offering well proportioned living space, period character features and a cracking village location. We’re hard pressed to choose our favourite thing, so here’s our (not so) short list for you to mull over… • For starters, this is indeed a rare opportunity - on the open market for the first time in over 60 years, the current owners bought the house privately last year and have carried out an extensive and truly sympathetic renovation programme (this included a new roof, a new heating and plumbing system, complete rewiring, newly plastered walls and ceilings amongst other things). They consciously introduced reclaimed materials as opposed to buying ‘new’ to enhance the period charm (the wooden kitchen floor, slate worktops and earthenware sink are great examples of this) and overhauled other elements (such as the sash windows, oak beams and lintels, oak and pine boarded doors) rather than imposing new on the structure.

  • History of Holy Trinity, Colton

    History of Holy Trinity, Colton

    - HOLY TRINITY CHURCH COLTON NOTES ON ITS HISTORY AND ENVIRONS The parish of Colton lies in that part of Cumbria which was known as High Furness (now South Lakeland) and though it is not generally thought of as being part of the English Lake District, it is yet near enough to that enchanting region to share some of the magic of its renowned beauty. The sterner and wilder aspects of Nature - high mountains, difficult passes, deep lakes, raging and tumultuous water falls are not here; these lie farther North. A glimpse, however, of what we may expect there is suggested if from Colton we look across the beautiful valley of the Crake coming from Coniston Water, to that noble group of mountains which includes the Old Man, Dow Crag and Wetherlam. Though this scene is less majestic and awe-inspiring than the more famous Cumbrian views, yet its loveliness delights the eye and seems to link our Colton panorama with the beginning of the true Lake District. We have around us, in this parish of Colton, scenery of a charm and variety which provides perpetual wonder and joy. There are fine stretches of fell country across which streams and becks innumerable make their picturesque courses to the rivers Leven and Crake, adding 'the beauty born of murmuring sound' to their visual attractions. The scenery is far more diversified than that of Low Furness and it has a varied and irregular surface of cheerful valleys, rocky but modest acclivities and hanging woods everywhere, clothing their sides, almost to their summits. Colton Church is set in a scene of such wonderful beauty that anyone approaching it for the first time might be forgiven if he compared the apparent insignificance of man's handiwork with the striking loveliness of surrounding Nature.

I have found many drain covers upside down and in the wrong way round. Several Culverts have been cleaned out and some new ones added to the annual list to inspect each Autumn for blockage. Storms, in particular, Storm Ophelia ravaged the Rusland Valley causing flooding that saw a wall having to be pushed down to release the trapped water and photographs and a write up in The Guardian Countryfile column. The outstanding fallen rocks have been removed from the dangerous bend to the A590 and three sacks of rubbish were collected and disposed of from the Bouth turn off. A sign post to Hay Bridge was restored which has led me to carrying out similar work in the Furness area. A London based film company spent two days making a short documentary film of the Lengthsman in the Parish and expected to be released this year. Cumbria County Counqil were asked to clear verges around the Rusland Triangle & a gully sucker to clean two drains at Penny Bridge. Archie Workman Lengthsman 14 May 2018.
