Reports by R.G. Collingwood to the Faculty of Literae Humaniores Appendix 2 Reports by R.G. Collingwood to the Faculty of Literae Humaniores Report on quinquennium as University Lecturer, from summer 1927 to time of writing in January 19321 By appointing me Lecturer in Philosophy and Roman History, I understand the University to mean, not only that I am to study and teach these two subjects, but also that I am to study and teach them in their mutual connexions: i.e. in philosophy, to investigate the philosophy of history, and, in history, not to neglect the methods and logic of historical work, and to emphasize the relation between history and its sources. Apart, therefore, from my ordinary work as a College tutor in philosophy, of which I say nothing, I have devoted my leisure to the following five projects: 1. Corpus of Roman Inscriptions in Britain, begun in 1920 and planned to take 20 years; every inscription to be illustrated with a facsimile drawing by myself. 2. An archaeological textbook of the materials used in the study of Roman Britain. 3. A large-scale work on Hadrian’s Wall, with special reference to the problems of archaeological method there arising. 4. A history of Roman Britain with special reference to the relation between Roman and Celtic elements in its civilisation to form vol. I of the Oxford History of England. 5. A study of the philosophical problems arising out of history: especially (a) logi- cal and epistemological problems connected with the question ‘how is historical knowledge possible?’, (b) metaphysical problems concerned with the nature and reality of the objects of historical thought. During this period, the above projects have advanced as follows: 1. The drawings made have risen from about 600 to about 1,100. The whole material has been arranged and indexed. 2. The book is now published (no. 13 in the annexed list). 3. The Clarendon Press has agreed to publish the book; all the excavators and local archaeologists are assisting in a co-ordinated scheme of research; several prelim- inary studies have been written, e.g. no. 14 in the annexed list. In this connexion I have travelled in Germany to study the similar remains there and to compare our methods of research with those of the Germans. 1 Oxford University Archives, Reports of the Board of the Faculty of Literae Humaniores, 1912–41, LH/R/1/5, 83. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2020 | doi:10.1163/9789004424937_013 Jan van der Dussen - 9789004424937 Downloaded from Brill.com09/24/2021 08:27:01PM via free access 466 Appendix 2 4. This book will gather up all the results of my studies on Roman Britain. In order to equip myself for it I have embarked on two new lines of study: (a) Prehistoric Britain, with special reference to the Celtic Iron Age; (b) the Roman occupation of other Western provinces, for purposes of com- parison. I have chosen Spain for special study, and have been travelling there and reading on the subject for the last 2 years. 5. This I regard as my chief work, involving the whole of my philosophical and his- torical studies in their mutual connexions. I am of opinion that there is impor- tant work to be done here, and that it cannot be done except by a trained and practising historian who is also in constant work as a philosopher. This opin- ion has been strengthened by much reading in the last 4 years, and by gradu- ally reaching, in that time, a provisional solution of most of the chief problems. Some results of this study are published in nos. 1, 4, 5, 6, 10 of the annexed list. No. 1 is in effect the synopsis of a complete treatise, but I do not intend to begin writing such a treatise until I have done several years’ work on various aspects of the subject. In conclusion, I may state that project no. 1 was my legacy from the late Professor Haverfield; the others have been rendered possible only by my appointment as University Lecturer and my consequent command of leisure.

Collingwood 12-1-32 Report as university lecturer in Philosophy and Roman History for the three years Michaelmas 1932 – Michaelmas 19352 I General Observations 1. Time has been spent about equally on the two subjects: the academic year 1932– 3 chiefly on philosophy with some Roman history, 1933–4 almost exclusively on philosophy, 1934–5 almost exclusively on Roman history. 2 Oxford University Archives, Reports of the Board of the Faculty of Literae Humaniores, 1912– 41, LH/R/1/6, 76. Jan van der Dussen - 9789004424937 Downloaded from Brill.com09/24/2021 08:27:01PM via free access Reports by R.G. Collingwood 469 2. In philosophy I have been working (a) at the problem of method, (b) at meta- physical and in particular cosmological problems, upon which my main interest is at present concentrated. 3. In Roman History I have been concentrating upon (a) the economic aspects of provincial history (always with special reference to Britain), (b) the relation be- tween Romanized provincial life and its pre-Roman substratum; since I find that current conceptions of Romanization are vitiated by lack of contact between Roman historians and ‘prehistoric’ archaeologists, which has hitherto made it impossible to form a just estimate of the work done by the Roman Empire in (at any rate) the Celtic provinces. 4. Publications during this period have been relatively few, because I have been, al- most the whole time, preparing material for certain large works not yet written: these should be completed in the next 3 years or so if I continue to have leisure for them. II Philosophy (a) Lectures given in Oxford 1. Moral Philosophy. In the long vacation of 1932 I completely rewrote my lectures on this subject and delivered them MT. 1932. In the long vacation 1933 I again thoroughly revised them, rewriting about half, adding a good deal of new mate- rial and omitting some old, and delivered them in this shape MT.

The Questionnaire Report 5. Appendices 6. Acknowledgements 7. The Action Plan 1 1 Irthington Parish Council Community Plan Report 2011 1. Summary During 2010, and the early months of 2011, Irthington Parish council has carried out a wide consultation exercise to seek the views of its parishioners. The concerns and desires expressed have been drawn together into an action plan, which is presented in this report. While many of the proposed actions will require co-operation and/or funding from other bodies we feel that this forms a viable basis for long term planning of the actions of the Parish Council. Given the current financial climate, it is recognised that this programme may well be rather more extended than we would have liked, but it will remain our aim to achieve these targets over the next five years. 2 2 2. Introduction • Location Irthington Parish is located in the Carlisle City Council district of Cumbria and is bounded by the parishes of Brampton, Walton, Hethersgill, Scaleby, Stanwix Rural and Hayton. • Background In 2005, Irthington Parish Council took part in the development of a Joint Parish Plan with a group of eight parishes centred on Brampton. This Joint Action Plan had largely been completed by 2009, so the group began meeting again to develop a new plan. However, for various reasons, several parishes left the group until the remaining members ceased to be a meaningful grouping.
