  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

  • Hawcoat Health Profile
    Hawcoat This resource gives an overview of the health profile for wards within Hawcoat. Inequalities in people’s experience of health still present significant challenges in Cumbria, with people in the most affluent areas living up to 20 years longer than those in more disadvantaged circumstances. These unfair and avoidable differences in health between social groups are what we mean by health inequalities. In Cumbria there are a number of areas of concern, including; Relatively large numbers of people living in housing that is in poor condition High levels of fuel poverty A low proportion of the workforce educated to degree level or higher Low employment levels amongst people with disabilities On average men in Cumbria lose 10 months of life, and women 4.5 months, directly attributable to alcohol 50-60 suicides each year. Ward profiles Administrative geographies – and particularly wards – have traditionally been used for collecting and publishing statistics. Wards are well-established and, unlike Electoral Divisions, they will not change. Ward profiles enable us to gain a deeper understanding or the differences in health status between areas. % of Electoral Division's Electoral Division Wards in Electoral Division Population that fall within the Ward Hawcoat Hawcoat 77.5 Newbarns 22.5 The below data, as well as insights you gain from talking with communities and through working with community groups, are invaluable in gaining an understanding of the health needs and priority in that community.
