AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Thursday, 30 September 2010. A matter of status at Barbon. St Bartholomew's church lies at the the western end of lonely Barbondale, which itself leads to Dentdale and on into The Yorkshire Dales. It is a beautiful church of 1893,. The best of Paley and Austin and always closely associated with the Kay-Shuttleworth family who had a house close by. With spear and shield surrounded by oak leaves, and Pax. Bearing a lamb beneath a canopy of laurel. Above are ...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Friday, 29 October 2010. Lost memorial - Rampside. I was recently trawling through the archives, looking at old newspapers. After 1918 there are almost daily entries about war memorials; meetings, fund raising, proposals and unveilings. One very short article I came across was so very poignant. His father, Robert, a Scot, was a Head Gamekeeper who in 1901 was living at Winscales, the community largely obliterated by the Nuclear Industry. So upon his death he g...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Saturday, 24 December 2011. Happy Christmas and Yule and a prosperous(! 2012 to all who visit. Alston Part 2 - Nowell Oxland, poet, player and Cumbrian,. Of particular interest to me was the information that the reredos, featuring two painted panels depicting Saints George and Michael(? Are in fact portraits of Lt Noel Oxland, 6th Borders. That on the left depicts St Michael, if indeed this the right attribution. On the right, St George. He was gazetted as a 2...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Saturday, 7 January 2012. New web site - South Cumbrian War Memorials - The Men. Over the years that I have been researching War Memorials throughout Cumbria a friend of mine, Andy Moss, has been steadily researching the names that appear on the memorials in the southern part of the county. It is very much an ongoing project. The website can be accessed here. Thursday, 5 January 2012. As was the case is most of the British Empire's colonial wars memorials were...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials: Their name liveth for evermore......
http://cumbrianwarmemorials.blogspot.com/2012/09/their-name-liveth-for-evermore.html
AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Saturday, 1 September 2012. Their name liveth for evermore. I think not. Too many parties at chequers, millions to be made, houses to buy, influence to be bought, careers to be followed. oil to be secured. We say 'We WILL remember them' - but do we? Can we name a man who died in Iraq - or Afghanistan! Were they married, with children? Were they short, tall, blonde or dark, happy or sad? Did they ever know the joy of a woman's love - or a mans? Ernest was a ter...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Friday, 20 August 2010. A Hero of the Confederacy. Just borrowed a book from the library ' The Stained Glass in the Churches of the Anglican Diocese of Carlisle. By Leslie Smith. I've bought a copy too, at a reasonable price from ABE Books, but it's not arrived yet! When I get books like this it's quite frustrating because I realise how many memorials I have missed - although there are one or two the book has missed! The dedication plaque reads:. Rising from t...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Saturday, 7 May 2011. There are some wonderful quiet corners in Cumbria, outside central lakeland. A particularly lovely place is Mansergh a dispersed parish on the west bank of the Lune north of Kirby Lonsdale.There is a delightful lane that runs alongside the river northwards to the Kendal - Kirby Road. The church, St Peter's, is a Paley and Austin creation of 1880 and has an unusual saddleback roof. The Second War names were added after 1945. There are many...

AFTER THE CONFLICT - Cumbrian War Memorials. Saturday, 26 November 2011. A precious little document. I have just realised that what is probably the most poignant little memorial I have found in my years of researching, indeed one of the best, has not been described! Badly damaged with damp, unframed, but what a gem, a rare survival. Slightly smaller than A4 it was drawn up by the children of Staveley in Cartmel village school on 24 May 1915 and lists the names of those village lads who had joined up in t...
