Abstract:

A study of the persistence of Catholic practices and traditions in the old counties of Cumberland and Westmorland highlights the great concern felt by Bishop Robinson of Carlisle (1598–1616) in regard to popish practices in his diocese at the end of Elizabeth’s reign and the beginning of that of James I. The incidence of such persistence in the Carlisle diocese, however, was slight in comparison with that of the Chester diocese in which lay the market town of Kendal in Westmorland. Here the continuance of Catholic practices was typified, not only by the persistent use of sites of old wayside crosses in funeral processions, but echoed in the townspeople’s equal determination to keep the long-established custom of the performance in their town of the Corpus Christi Play.

Abstract:

AbstractAlien subsidies suggest that many men and few women immigrated to England between 1440 and 1487. This article examines the one exception to this pattern: the large numbers of Scotswomen assessed as aliens in Cumberland, Westmorland, and Northumberland in 1440. It considers why so many women are found in these particular returns, what we can know about them, and how this knowledge might change our histories of women, labor, and mobility in both Scotland and England.

Abstract:

Following the implementation of legislation in 1845 which required every county and borough throughout England and Wales to build an institution for the treatment of mentally ill paupers, there was a surge in the number of people classed as insane. This created situations of overcrowding, and pauper lunatics were constantly pushed and pulled between the asylum and the workhouse in an attempt to alleviate pressure on accommodation. This paper explores the experience of pauper lunatic patients at the County Asylum of Cumberland and Westmorland, and recounts the experience of its pauper patients as they entered and departed from the institution, thereby portraying the transitionary process of mental health provision in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

In the parliament held at Leicester in the spring of 1414, King Henry V was confronted with a long list of grievances on the part of the common folk of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland. A formal petition decried the contempt with which the terms of truces made with Scotland and royal letters of safe conduct were treated. The commons further complained that men of the liberties of Tynedale, Redesdale, and Hexham daily committed “many murders, treasons, homicides … robberies, and other misdeeds,” and that “some of the said persons shelter and support many people of Scotland, counselling and comforting [them] in their robbery and despoiling.” Finally, they said, in contravention of the terms of the truce, men of Scotland “also take them prisoner, keeping them … until they make ransom of their own volition, all this with the aid, assent and comfort of the said persons so enfranchised.”

Abstract:

This thesis examines stone sculpture produced during the period after the Normans established power in Carlisle in 1092 until the death of David I of Scotland and the consequent relinquishing of Scottish control in Carlisle in 1153. No piece of sculpture is securely dated, but all the carvings examined in the thesis are considered to belong within this timespan. The introduction to Volume One identifies questions and problems associated with the study of Anglo-Norman sculpture and provides a brief geographical and historical summary of the north-west of England. Chapter 1 introduces aspects of surviving sculpture and churches within the region and includes: the lordships; a survey of surviving sculpture; discussion of churches, building trade and sculptor’s role; dating criteria; saints and dedications; religious foundations; sculpture before 1100; the origin of Carlisle and its significance in the development of sculpture after 1100. Chapter 2 examines the lintel-stone at St Bees and the Scandinavian and other influences determining its content. Chapter 3 discusses the font at Bridekirk, its style, content and iconography and place in Anglo-Norman art. Chapter 4 focuses on the decoration of four surviving doorways in order to place their sculpture within general twelfth-century trends combined with persistent local influences. Chapter 5 concludes with discussion of the development of the parochial system and the issue of patronage in relation to the study’s previous findings.

Abstract:

Traditionally, the north-west of England in the mid-fifteenth century has been seen as being under the total dominance of the NeviIles, the Earls of Salisbury and Warwick, and their successor in the north Richard Duke of Gloucester. This thesis aims to correct that impression by examining the political structures that operated in the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland in the period between c.1440 and 1485, and the relationships between the magnates in question and local society. In doing so, it finds an emphasis on continuity and co-operation within the local community that did not always go hand-in-hand with the magnates' expectations of service. The power-struggle at court eventually imposed factionalism on the region against its wishes. The magnates continued to emphasise the necessity of being served by men who had proved themselves loyal, and divided authority in the region by only extending it to men who had actively supported the Yorkists in 1459-61. After 1471, Edward IV showed more care in how he dealt with the region. Instead of allowing his brother the Duke of Gloucester carte blanche, he restricted his influence by using his own agent, Sir William Parr. Gloucester's interest was restricted to financial matters only until the Scottish war of 1480. After his usurpation the shallow base of his support in the region became apparent, and few men took part in the "northern plantations". Richard still had plans to conquer south-west Scotland and much of his patronage was geared towards this. His subsequent failure undermined his limited support in the north-west and, in 1485, the locality had little difficulty in adjusting to the Tudor regime.

Abstract:

Cumberland and Westmorland differed significantly from the rest of Mediaeval England. They were subjected to the English crown later than the rest of England and as a result the lordships of the region retained extensive powers comparable to those exercised on the March of Wales. Thus local lords played a larger role in government than elsewhere and they also enjoyed political dominance. Seigneurial officials bore the main burden of law enforcement. Cumbria evolved its own customs for law enforcement but crime remained a serious problem. In the early reign of Edward I the region enjoyed peace but since lordship there was of limited financial value, it was also largely neglected by its lords. In Cumberland, especially, absentee lordship was common. In Westmorland the Clifford family, which had gained land there, attempted to establish local dominance. This resulted in disputes both with the borough of Appleby and the lords of Kendale. Robert de Clifford was able to complete his family's acquisition of land in the reign of Edward II but these gains were temporarily negated by the rebellion and forfeiture of his son Roger IV in 1322.The outbreak of war caused enormous material damage and rendered absentee lordship impossible. Edward II's failure to defend the border and minorities in leading local families left the region specially vulnerable. Scots raids resulted in the total disruption of local government and leadership was exercised by a series of military commanders the most notable of whom was Andrew de Harclay. These commanders enjoyed enormous opportunities for self-advancement, but they defended the Border badly. After Barclay's fall his place was taken by Anthony de Lucy and Ranulph de Dacre and with the resurgence of English power under Edward III they emerged with the Cliffords as the dominant local powers. The pattern for the region, thus, remained that set in the reign of Edward II.

"Scottish influences upon the Reformed churches in north-west England, c. 1689-1829 : a study of the ministry within the Congregational and Presbyterian churches in Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland." Thesis, Lancaster University, 1996. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/61730/.

Abstract:

This thesis examines developments within the ministry of the Congregational churches of the north-west of England in the period 1689-1829, with a number of aims in mind. In focusing on the role of Scottish-born and Scottish-trained ministers within these churches the attempt had been made to get away from the narrow national and denominational dogmas that have constrained our understanding of English Congregationalism. In line with recent historiographical attempts to produce historical explanations that recognise the inter-connectedness of the nations of the Union, this study attempts to assess the contribution of other national church traditions within one English region and to understand the development of British Evangelicalism amongst British Reformed churches, of which the Congregational Churches of Lancashire in the 1830s were such examples. After providing the historical background of the Protestant Dissenting churches of Lancashire, an attempt to quantify the number of churches within emerging church traditions in the eighteenth century will be made and to assess the survival of orthodox Reformed churchmanship. The argument followed here, in contradistinction to the vast majority of denominational historians, is that denominational theories are poor in explaining the survival of orthodox piety amongst Dissent and that the social and economic profile of congregations provides a far better explanation of the ecclesiology of these churches. Cumberland and Westmorland are examined and an understanding of the geographical spread of Dissent is attempted, noting particularly the survival of orthodox piety in the rural north of the region and in particular the dependence of the churches of Cumberland on Scottish ministers, without whom Protestant Dissent in that county would have disappeared. Finally an attempt is made to assess the contribution of Scottish-born and Scottish-trained ministers in the emergent Congregational tradition in Lancashire in the period 1770-1829. Throughout the study an attempt is made to test all assumptions concerning the ministry by utilising a database of biographical information on ministers within these churches and thus providing figures on nationality and training, attempting to see whether the Scottish cohort within the sample was statistically significant before moving on to more qualitative assessments of their influence.
