  • The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire
    THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume.

  • Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers
    HS2 Consultation Response Derbyshire County Council Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers 1.1 There are a number of highly significant heritage assets that form a tourism cluster in the north east of Derbyshire. Hardwick Hall, Bolsover, Bolsover Castle and Sutton Scarsdale Hall contribute to this cluster. The full potential of these assets as part of a tourism cluster has probably yet to be fully realised. 1.2 Details of the current and projected visitor numbers for Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall have been provided by English Heritage and the National Trust respectively. Bolsover Castle, English Heritage. 1.3 The key facts in relation to Bolsover Castle are as follows: 1.4 “Visitor numbers for the year 2012-13 were just under 68,000. This years projected figures for the period 2013-2014 are at over 75,000 and we are currently ahead of this target. In terms of income generated, this is forecast at around £630,000 in 2013-14 period. Separate to this, income generated from hospitality (including weddings) was worth around £80,000 in the last financial year.” 1.5 “English Heritage is currently undertaking significant investment into the site as part of a £1million project due for completion by Spring 2014. This includes: • repair works to the Little Castle - reinstatement of the French doors to the balconies and the addition of furnishings, as well as providing fancy dress items and props for young visitors; • repair works to the exterior of the Castle; • repair works to the high-level wall walk surrounding the Fountain Gardens which is to be re-instated and open for visitors for the first time in almost 400 years.” 1.6 “In addition, new exhibitions and interpretation is being developed” as well as “the addition of a children's play park in the grounds.” 1.7 “Through this significant investment, we hope to further increase visitor numbers to the property, thereby boosting the local tourism economy and providing a lasting contribution to the Castle's future.

  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List
    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3. Conquer the tallest ‘Peak’ in the Peak District At 636 metres above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world when you conquer the Kinder Scout plateau. It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.

  • Caverswall and Gainford Compared Adapted from Various Sources
    CAVERSWALL AND GAINFORD COMPARED ADAPTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES THE ARHCITECTURE Caverswall Castle, built probably some time after 1611 by Mathew Cradock, Mayor of Stafford and later its M.P., is fairly named, for it stands within the enceinte1 of a medieval castle; and Victorian embellishments made it slightly more castle-like when the crowning classical balustrade was replaced by a parapet with minimal crenels2. It may be from a Smythson3 stable: the date makes John rather than Robert the more likely architect. Caverswall is a slab with a partially split spine, the space between its two walls being used for a short narrow corridor and closets. Since the entry, on the south front, is central and into a transverse passage which (screened from the hall) leads across the house to one of two projecting staircase towers, there is a cruciform pattern of routes on the ground floor, though the western arm of the cross comes quickly to a halt in a massive stack with back-to-hack hearths at each level. A projecting tower at the west end, gives access only to the rooms in the Western half. True, these are the evident rooms of state including an unusually large apartment on the second floor, but four identical and identically divided apartments on the two upper floors in the eastern half of the house must be approached from the great back stair. Though it is of the same form as its grander brother, the back stair is unadorned and contains an original hoist and tackle in its central well; so it is very visibly also the service stair, and therefore used for secondary access to the great rooms to the west.

  • Conference Excursions!
    BARS Blog – Conference Excursions BARS 2019 Our latest blog explores the conference excursions that are on offer for the Saturday afternoon. Hopefully this will help you make the difficult choice between them! Newstead Abbey: July 2019 is an exciting month for Newstead Abbey, and not just because of the visit of a party of BARS delegates! As Lord Byron’s ancestral home, it is obvious that the links to the ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ poet abound at Newstead. The Abbey already holds in their collections one of Thomas Phillips’s famous portraits of Byron from 1813. Excitingly, Phillip’s portrait of Byron wearing Albanian costume will be on loan from the National Portrait Gallery to Newstead Abbey during July, giving unrivalled access to these two contemporary depictions of Byron viewed in his family home together for the first time. Also on loan from the British Museum is the spotlight exhibition ‘The golden age of satire? Late-Georgian satirical prints’, which features a large range of prints and cartoons including some by the great satirists Gillray and Cruikshank. Alongside the British Museum’s collection, Nottingham Museums will display their own satirical manuscripts, including Byron’s own letters. As this opens on the 27th July (the day of the excursion) BARS delegates will be among the first to see this exciting exhibition. After the conclusion of the conference on Sunday 28th July, Newstead Abbey are hosting an outdoor theatre performance of Wuthering Heights by Heartbreak Productions . The gates open at 5pm, with the performance starting at 6pm, and tickets for this event from Nottingham Council’s website can be found here: https://www.newsteadabbey.org.uk/events/?date=2019-07-01 Image credit: Dun.can via Flickr.

    The Post Hole Issue 36 March / April 2014 ‘Don’t forget about us’ – Why the archaeology of North-West England should not be neglected Faye Morrissey 1 1Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York, YO1 7EP Email: [email protected] Introduction As a country, England has a wealth of archaeological sites and important historic monuments and artefacts, for example the princely cemetery of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, Ice Age rock art at Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire, and the largest find of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever found, the Staffordshire Hoard. However, when the location and significance of archaeological sites in England are considered, a huge majority appear to be from the south and east of the country. Very little research has been undertaken into remains from North-West England, particularly that of Lancashire. Consequently, this article will aim to inform the reader on three of the most important, yet neglected, finds from North-West England that have perhaps been cast under the shadow of other more recent discoveries. It will indicate future areas of improvement and investigation, therefore highlighting that this region is just as archaeologically noteworthy as the rest of the country. Lindow Man In 1984, the preserved remains of a man’s body was found amongst the layers of peat on Lindow Moss in Cheshire (Brothwell 1986, 9, 14) (Figure 1). This sparked large scale media coverage and archaeological reports, such as that by Connolly (1985) just a year later. Radiocarbon dating reported the body as being over 1,000 years old at the time of discovery (Brothwell 1986, 16), making it not only a significant find for the north-west, but nationally and internationally as well.
