The bailey walls, which divide the castle and cathedral buildings from the riverbanks were built by Bishop Flambard (1099 – 1128). Priory Accounts of the fourteenth century mention gardens below the city wall. In 1508 Bishop Bainbridge gave the prior and convent 'all the right bank of the river between Elvet and Framwellgate Bridges which lay below the castle and cathedral walls, down to the Wear and the river itself'. The left side was already in their possession. In 1539 the Benedictine Priory surrendered to Henry VIII after which the cathedral property was administered by the Dean and Chapter who regulated leases of properties in Durham City including rentals for gardens. By the eighteenth century Durham became a venue for recreation and offered facilities including prestigious town houses, theatre, assembly rooms, a race track and public walks. Forsters plan of Durham (1754) shows gardens to the Bailey Houses some of which included gazebos built into the City Wall to take views across the river and countryside beyond. As the Bailey houses became gentrified more and more gardens behind the houses are recorded with garths below the city wall. Four icehouses survive which date from the late 18th or the early 19th century on banks below the south bailey gardens. A folly 'The Count's House' stands at the base of the riverbanks south of Prebend's Bridge. By the early 20th-century the bailey houses were gradually taken over by the university although the gardens continued to be maintained. Durham County Council Review of Historic Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes of Local Interest Durham Peninsula 3 - Durham Peninsula Gardens Description Bok’s engraving of 1670, The Prospect of Durham from the South East, shows some of the Bailey gardens with towers, others have gates allowing access to the lower banks. The gardens to the Bailey town houses are shown on Samuel Buck's The South West Prospect of the City of Durham (1745) laid out in formal arrangements. The riverbank gardens below the city wall are not shown in great detail although the Principal’s Walk, a terrace in the garden to no.4 South Bailey is visible and gazebos are shown below some of the Bailey gardens. The upper gardens to the Bailey houses are shown on Foster’s Plan of the City of Durham published in 1754. The gardens all had similar symmetrical layouts. Some gardens were larger than others such as the Bowes garden at no. 4 South Bailey. The 1857 and 1892 OS shows clear details of gardens and features. One feature of interest is the detached town gardens which are apparent on the east side of the north and south Bailey houses. An aerial photograph taken in 1960 shows the allotments on Bow Banks were well cared for but they are now overgrown with self sown vegetation.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

  • The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Durham University
    THE MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF DURHAM UNIVERSITY 2018 ISSUE 04 ISSUE 04 2018 DUNELM MAGAZINE 3 Dear alumni of Durham Durham, as it always has, is continuing to develop. Major advances have been made on the plans laid out in the University Strategy, 2017-2027. As you will see in your magazine, we have begun work on a new Centre for Teaching and Learning near St Mary’s and we now have planning permission for our 17th college, the first in ten years, which will be built near Van Mildert on South Road. The developments at Maiden Castle and in Computer Science are also moving forward quickly. You can see the artists’ drawings of some of these projects over the next few pages. In order to prepare the way for the transition of colleges and departments into Durham from Queen’s Campus Stockton, Ustinov College has now moved into a first-class new home at Sheraton Park (the old Neville’s Cross college site), and John Snow and Stephenson Colleges have established bases in Durham City in preparation for their move into Durham over the summer. Meanwhile in Queen’s, our new International Study Centre (ISC) has enjoyed a successful first term, and we are looking forward to a large number of ISC students joining Durham University degree courses next year. All of this work is designed not only to keep Durham at the pinnacle of UK education but also to expand our global reputation and reach; and so I am also pleased to let you know that we have a new Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Claire O’Malley, who will lead on globalizing Durham.

  • History of Hatfield
    History of Hatfield When Hatfield was founded in 1846, it was a revolutionary development in residential higher education. For the first time, student rooms were let furnished, all meals were taken in Hall, expenses were fixed, reasonable and known in advance. Students and staff were regarded as a community, cared for and guided by College Officers. Most of this is fairly general practice now but it took some time before it became an accepted model throughout the world. 50 years later, after some initial uncertainties Hatfield had developed into a well known, predominantly theological, establishment under Archibald Robertson, later an eminent bishop At the centenary of its foundation Hatfield had changed its emphasis to science and education but reached a low ebb until the end of World War II, when Eric Birley supervised the revival of the College and was responsible for many modern aspects of administration and organization including the establishment of a tutorial system and provision of facilities for a Senior Common Room. In midsummer 2006, the rugby days of Tom Whitworth were history, and the admission of women – agonized under James Barber and grudgingly accepted are now a welcome fact. The features of the present time are, vastly larger student numbers, a wider range of study courses, and increasingly good academic results. The Hatfield spirit – present from early days – is alive and well. There are some things money can’t buy.(2005) 1 SITE AND SETTING Hatfield College is a residential college in Durham University. It is in the city centre, nestling near the Cathedral on its World Heritage peninsula site.

  • Durham WHS Research Framework 2015
    Durham WHS Research Framework – 2015 Durham World Heritage Site Research Framework January 2015 Compiled by David Petts (Archaeology / IMEMS) Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies 1 Durham WHS Research Framework – 2015 Words 6440 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Durham World Heritage Site 1.2 Durham World Heritage Site Research Framework (DWHSRF) The Durham World Heritage Site Research Framework (DWHSRF) forms one of a suite of documents that comprise the World Heritage Management plan. It has two primary objectives. First, to place academic research at the core of future management, conservation, interpretation and investigation of the Durham World Heritage Site. Secondly, it explores and prioritises key avenues for further work, presenting a strategy through which this research can be taken forward. Only through rigorous, academically informed research can our understanding and appreciation of the Cathedral, Castle and their environs be progressed. By advancing a robust framework, this document will contribute actively to the improved appreciation of the rich archaeological, architectural and historical record of the WHS. 1.3 What is a research framework? The notion of a research framework is a familiar one to many researching and managing the historic environment of the UK and engaging internationally with World Heritage Sites. However, this approach to the systematisation and contextualisation of research may not be familiar to those with an interest in research into the Durham WHS, but with different professional or disciplinary backgrounds. Given this, it is useful to outline some of the context and development of such research frameworks. The need for a more structured approach to the management of World Heritage Site has arisen out of two parallel developments in the ecology of the UK heritage sector.
