  • 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.

  • Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes
    ` Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW The Lake District is home to over 80 lakes, meres, waters, and tarns making it a great location for open water swimming. On this short escape, we offer the opportunity to do some longer swims on what we think are four of the best lakes in the area. The days are packed as we swim the entire length of Derwent Water and Wast Water and swim across Grasmere and Ullswater. This trip is a fabulous opportunity to spend a few days not only exploring the different areas of the Lake District from a swimming perspective, but also experiencing the uniqueness of each lake. Swimmers will be escorted by experienced swim guides and qualified canoeists during all swims. Our accommodation is located on the shores of the water at Grasmere, right across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is a combination of lake length swims as well as some long width crossings. Most swims are between 4-5kms, so the trip is best suited to those who fancy these types of distances. Although challenging, these swims are some of the most spectacular anywhere in the Lakes. LOCATION SUMMARIES Wast Water Wast Water is perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes and the deepest in England. Surrounded by the mountains of Red Pike, Kirk Fell and Great Gable, the peak of Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain is our target as swim the length of this Water. Derwent Water Derwent Water is fed by the River Derwent with a catchment area in the high fells surrounded to its west rise by the fells of Cat Bells and to its east, the fantastic viewpoint of Friar's Crag, jutting into the lake.

William Hibbert Marshall, owner of Patterdale Hall, donated a piece of land to allow for the building of a permanent Monument in February 1921 on the shores of Ullswater, midway between Glenridding and Patterdale. The memorial slab was hewn from a twenty ton piece of local slate and the eventual undressed slate stone still weighs in at around 5 tons. It was unveiled in October 1921. As part of the 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the outbreak of World War One, we have tried to find out more about the men whose names are inscribed on the Memorial, from both World Wars, on the Roll of Honour in the Village Hall, and also about life in and around Patterdale and Glenridding at the time.
