The tone behind what I am asked is usually one of exasperation because the questioner begins with the assumption that unlike in `our day`, as they frequently put it, our young people appear not to be getting any real grounding in what, in particular the Christian Faith is about. Now, this is obviously a huge topic and my instinct is that the picture is probably somewhat mixed. However this gives me the opportunity firstly to say that, from first-hand experience I am aware that the staff and Governors of our own St. Martin and St. Mary Church of England Primary School are doing a splendid job where this is concerned. Secondly, once you start talking about Religious Education you`re soon reminded of what a hugely important and emotive matter the education of our young people can be and raising the question of RE means we find ourselves drawn into an even bigger debate which touches on what it means to be `British` and how best to draw together a nation of diverse origins. Part of the problem is that fear, misunderstanding and xenophobia are lurking in the background and candidly such a cocktail of issues often doesn`t make for an edifying or seemly discussion. As this debate unfolds, however I would like to offer one observation. In the midst of this current furore we have begun to hear calls for the removal of Religious Education from the curriculum all together. Perhaps you might expect me to contradict this, since I clearly have a vested interest given the number of excellent Church schools in our county. But being as neutral and pragmatic as I can it would seem to me that this is actually the time to increase and improve the provision of Religious Education in schools. I make this observation largely because amidst all the rhetoric we forget that the real challenge that we face is not the presence of `faith` itself but candidly the presence of `bad` or should we say `warped` faith. Indoctrination, coercion and manipulation (whether religious or secular) have no place in our schools but to deprive young people of a good grounding in what it might mean to be a person of faith and why a multitude of cultures choose to live as they do is to fail to prepare them for the world as it is; a world of many faiths and none. 6 The United Kingdom and indeed much of Western Europe may wish, at this stage in our development to believe otherwise but the bottom line is that `God` is not going away. Opponents of Religious Education simply fail to grasp this and if they have their way, I would humbly suggest they will run the risk of entrenching ignorance, fear and prejudice. It`s important that we hold our schools in prayer. The nurturing of the young is a good and worthy task and the presence of Religious Education is a reminder that education has a broader purpose that fitting children for the workplace. It also has rather a lot to do with equipping them for life.

INTRODUCTION Underskiddaw is a civil parish with an elected Parish Council in the Allerdale District of Cumbria and lies entirely within the Lake District National Park. It is a rural area roughly enclosed by the Skiddaw massif to the north, the River Glenderaterra to the east, the River Greta to the south and the River Derwent and Bassenthwaite Lake to the west. It consists of three small centres of population - Thrushwood, Millbeck and Applethwaite and several smaller clusters of houses and farms. The total population as shown in the 200 I census was 282 people. It is an area of spectacular scenery dominated by Skiddaw, at over 3,000 feet one of the highest mountains in the Lake District, and with an abundance of wildlife. I Understandably it is a delightful place in which to live and much enjoyed and appreciated by its residents. It is also a popular area for walkers who climb Latrigg, Skiddaw and the other fells all year round.

The work as a whole makes an original The poor in England Steven King is Reader in History at contribution to the historiography of poverty, combining as it Oxford Brookes University. does a high degree of scholarship with intellectual innovation.’ The poor Professor Anne Borsay, University of Wales, Swansea This fascinating collection of studies investigates English poverty in England between 1700 and 1850 and the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, disparate and sometimes failing 1700–1850 strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits derived through the ‘economy’ ranged from wages supported by under-employment via petty crime through to charity; however, An economy of makeshifts until now, discussions of this array of makeshifts usually fall short of answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured access to them. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English ‘economy of makeshifts’ with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition. 1700–1850 Individual chapters written by some of the leading, emerging historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households.

    WELCOME TO CROSTHWAITE CHURCH KESWICK 1 Our Vision ‘To know Jesus and make Him known’ PARISH OF CROSTHWAITE, ST KENTIGERN, KESWICK PARISH PROFILE Thank you for reading this Parish Profile of St Kentigern’s Church Keswick (more commonly referred to as Crosthwaite Church). We hope it will help you decide whether God is calling you to this Parish to help us continue our journey of faith and service to Christ. WHO ARE WE? We’ve had great difficulties with labels and trying to define ourselves! But here goes… - We are a keen enthusiastic bunch of Christians! We may be predominantly an older congregation but we are young at heart and desire our church to grow and to grow younger. - We would describe ourselves as traditional low-church Anglicans, Open Evangelical, and open to new forms and styles of worship. - We value orthodox theology and belief as well as Bible-based preaching. - We are a Dementia Friendly Church. - We have considered a range of images to describe ourselves (at a planning session), one was of a stump with shoots of new growth – in other words we desire to grow! Why are we appointing a priest in charge (vicar designate)? - The diocese with our ecumenical partners in the County, namely the Methodist Church, the URC and the Salvation Army are committed to finding new, deeper and more effective ways of working together in order to further the mission of the Church. Other Dioceses use various forms of ‘clustering’. In Cumbria we call them ‘Mission Communities’. Each Mission Community is a unique entity due to location, ecclesial composition, local geography and demography.

  • The Use of Lakes As Natural Resources in Late Medieval England: a Study on Lake Windermere, the Lake District
    UrbanScope Vol.11 (2020) 19-23 The Use of Lakes as Natural Resources in Late Medieval England: A Study on Lake Windermere, the Lake District Haruka KATO* Keywords: medieval England, natural resources, Lake Windermere, fishing, transportation Abstract This is a case study on how a lake was used as a natural resource by residents and lords in late medieval England. The subject of this case study is Lake Windermere in the Lake District. The studies of rural society in medieval England have chiefly focused on areas where crop production was the main livelihood, and areas that were not suitable for cultivation were set aside as the ‘marginal’ areas. However, in recent years, interest in the marginal areas, specifically the use of natural resources, has been growing. In the north-western upland, one of the marginal areas of medieval England, the land was considered unsuitable for cultivation: hilly and far-reaching terrain with a cold and rainy climate. The present author conducted a case study on the livelihood of Windermere Manor in the north-western upland. In this study, as an extension of the present author’s previous case study, we will analyze some aspects of how Windermere Lake, which belonged to Windermere Manor and was the largest lake in the Lake District, was used by residents, including farmers, and lords. In Chapter One, we discuss the layout of Lake Windermere and Windermere Manor. In Chapter Two, we introduce the holders as well as the usage fees of the fishing right of Lake Windermere. In Chapter Three, we discuss how and by whom fishing on Lake Windermere was conducted.

  • 1 the Unique Heritage of Place-Names in North West England Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University, UK 1. Introduction This Is
    1 The unique heritage of place-names in North West England Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University, UK 1. Introduction This is not an academic article. I am not a scholar of the history of English. Yet this article deals mainly with developments in the remote history of the English language. So why this article with this title? When I was invited to contribute to this volume in honour of Professor Keiko Ikegami, I wanted to write something with a historical theme, as a fitting tribute. My solution was to write on a topic which has interested me for many years: the place-names of the part of English where I live, the North West of England. My interest in place-names began early as a hobby, and I have been a member of the English Place-Name Society for many years. Curiously, the first academic ‘job’ I ever had was concerned with place-names. In 1959 I had just finished my final examinations for the B.A. at London University, and was waiting to learn the result. I undertook some humble unskilled work (all I can remember is writing oddly-spelt place-names on little slips of paper) for the head of my Department, Professor A.H. Smith, then probably the leading toponymist in the country. So it could be said that place-name studies began my academic career. But I have never undertaken serious research or produced publications in the field. This paper does not contain original material, but relies on the work of scholars most of whom have been well-known toponymists of English, whose work I briefly review below.

  • Land, Population and Famine in the English Uplands: a Westmorland Case Study, C.1370–1650*
    Land, population and famine in the English uplands: a Westmorland case study, c.1370–1650* land, population and famine in the english uplands by Jonathan Healey Abstract There is much we still do not know about the relationship between land, population and famine in early modern England. In his classic work on Famine in Tudor and Stuart England, Andrew Appleby presented a broadly Malthusian picture in which population growth in the upland north-west was accompanied by the subdivision of peasant holdings and the expansion of cultivation at the margins of sustainability. This article questions the uniformity of this picture. Evidence from the Barony of Kendal in Westmorland suggests that tenant numbers had peaked by about 1560, while manor courts successfully controlled enclosure and the subdivision of holdings. Indeed, evidence from the early seventeenth century suggests that, rather than forming a famine-prone mass, customary tenants in the area enjoyed at least some prosperity. At the same time, however, the period from the late sixteenth to the early seventeenth century saw the development of a large population of subtenants, and it was this group that suffered most from famine in 1623. In 1623, parts of England were struck by a major famine. Most of the country seems to have been afflicted with dearth, but widespread starvation was generally confined to the upland north and west, while there is also clear evidence for famine in both Ireland and Scotland.1 Even in the lowland east of England the situation could be desperate: a Lincolnshire landlord reported how one of his neighbours had been so hungry he stole a sheep, ‘tore a leg out, and did eat it raw’.
