Abstract
The Cranstone Consultancy: recent and forthcoming work
David Cranstone
6 - 7
Outlines the foundation and development of the consultancy from its inception in 1991. Specialising in industrial sites, Cranstone contributed to EH's policy formulation for this genre within the MPP. It is hoped that, by publishing this article, similar organisations will follow suit, creating a forum for information exchange.
Axe-hammer or witch-stone?
John Pickin
10 - 11
Reports a BA axe-hammer found at West Park Farm, Cotherstone (Teesdale) in 1988. Made of fine-grained carboniferous limestone, it had been built into the wall of an eighteenth-century byre to act as a witch-stone for the protection of resident animals.
Dispatches from the Cumberland coast
Richard L Bellhouse
12 - 13
Reply to recent work centering around Milecastle 21 (Hadrians Wall -- see also 92/1389). Particularly at issue is the idea that the rampart construction was at different from that recorded at nearby examples -- the present author favours turf cheeks with an infill of boulder clay and also comments that free-draining soils of low base status would cause the clay to disappear without trace. The interpretation of cob constructed buildings is also rejected in favour of timber-framing with wattle and daub. Finally, following a review in Britannia 21 of this author's New Schedule of Coastal Sites which crticised his dismissal of a possible fortlet at High Harrington on the basis of field survey alone, additional information is provided in support of that judgement.
The human leg bones on Rise How, Cumbria
Richard L Bellhouse
14 - 15
New dates of 1205 ± 70 BP from peptide analysis complicate interpretation of bone thought, at one point, to have been from a disturbed IA tumulus at this Roman site (see also 92/1008).
Britain's coal mining heritage
Edwina Alcock
17 - 20
Summarises eight conference papers on topics including: the importance of British coal mining in the Industrial Revolution and its subsequent international importance; mining sites and tourism/education; documentary sources for coal mining; preservation of working drawings/plans and other archival material particularly relating to Wales; the physical preservation of coal mining sites; derelict land grants; and the policies of British Coal towards the preservation of mining heritage.
The National Inventory of war memorials
Tom Hornshaw
22 - 24
Details the survey, under the aegis of the Imperial War Museum and RCHME, undertaken in 1989. In particular danger were found to be wooden memorials constructed for indoor sites. War memorials have become increasingly insecure with the closure of many churches/chapels and factories which previously housed them. This article describes examples from the north-east and mentions the extension of the survey from 1992 to last until June 1994.
Morpeth chantry chapel
Alec Tweddle
Notes the history and development of one of only five remaining bridge chapels, founded in 1296. After extensive restoration in the early 1980s, it is now a public building housing a craft centre, bagpipe museum, antiquarian society museum and tourist information office.
