NAYLOR, SIMON. „Nationalizing provincial weather: meteorology in nineteenth-century Cornwall“. British Journal for the History of Science 39, Nr. 3 (23.08.2006): 407–33. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0007087406008399.

Annotation:

This paper examines the development of a quantified, standardized and institutionalized meteorological science in nineteenth-century Britain, one that relied on sophisticated instrumentation and highly regulated observers and techniques of observation in its attempt to produce an accurate picture of the national weather. The story is told from one of the numerous points in British meteorology's extensive collection network: from Cornwall, in the far southwest of England. Although the county had been an acknowledged centre of meteorological labour since the eighteenth century, it came increasingly under the influence of various London-based meteorological institutions in the 1830s and in 1868 was chosen as the site of one of the Royal Society of London's few prestigious ‘first-order’ meteorological observatories. This case study presents us with the opportunity to witness the ways in which a national scientific enterprise was assimilated and interpreted in a particular local context. It gives us a chance to see how regulated forms of instrumentation and quantified measurement were translated in a particular place and, of course, how the non-place-bound ideals of metropolitan science occasionally faltered in the face of local values and preoccupations.

Secondary Analysis of a 2017 Cross-Sectional Residents Survey in Cornwall, South West England“.

Housing is a social determinant of health, comprising multiple interrelated attributes; the current study was developed to examine whether differences in mental wellbeing across housing tenure types might relate to individual, living, or neighbourhood circumstances. To achieve this aim, an exploratory cross-sectional analysis was conducted using secondary data from a county-wide resident survey undertaken by Cornwall Council in 2017. The survey included questions about individual, living, or neighbourhood circumstances, as well as mental wellbeing (Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale). A random sample of 30,152 households in Cornwall were sent the survey, from whom 11,247 valid responses were received (38% response), but only 4085 (13.5%) provided complete data for this study. Stratified stepwise models were estimated to generate hypotheses about inequalities in mental wellbeing related to housing tenure. Health, life satisfaction, and social connectedness were found to be universal determinants of mental wellbeing, whereas issues related to living circumstances (quality of housing, fuel poverty) were only found to be related to wellbeing among residents of privately owned and rented properties. Sense of safety and belonging (neighbourhood circumstances) were also found to be related to wellbeing, which together suggests that whole system place-based home and people/community-centred approaches are needed to reduce inequalities.

With the increasing demands to use remote sensing approaches, such as aerial photography, satellite imagery, and LiDAR in archaeological applications, there is still a limited number of studies assessing the differences between remote sensing methods in extracting new archaeological finds. Therefore, this work aims to critically compare two types of fine-scale remotely sensed data: LiDAR and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) derived Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. To achieve this, aerial imagery and airborne LiDAR datasets of Chun Castle were acquired, processed, analyzed, and interpreted. Chun Castle is one of the most remarkable ancient sites in Cornwall County (Southwest England) that had not been surveyed and explored by non-destructive techniques. The work outlines the approaches that were applied to the remotely sensed data to reveal potential remains: Visualization methods (e.g., hillshade and slope raster images), ISODATA clustering, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The results display various archaeological remains within the study site that have been successfully identified. Applying multiple methods and algorithms have successfully improved our understanding of spatial attributes within the landscape. The outcomes demonstrate how raster derivable from inexpensive approaches can be used to identify archaeological remains and hidden monuments, which have the possibility to revolutionize archaeological understanding.

Annotation:

Hereward ‘the Wake’ is renowned as one of the leaders of the English resistance to the Normans in the late 1060s and early 1070s. His involvement in the resistance is noted by all main sources, even though the extent to which he was responsible for actions in Ely and Peterborough remains to be elucidated. He is listed as a pre-Conquest Lincolnshire landholder and tenant in Domesday Book, which is the only contemporary source to mention, but not date, his outlawry. Hereward's career as an outlaw is shrouded in mystery, due to the lack of detail in contemporary sources and also to the rise of stories incorporated in theGesta Herewardi (The Deeds of Hereward), written in the twelfth century, which claim that he went as a mercenary to Cornwall, Ireland and Flanders. Two sections of theGesta Herewardiare devoted to his exploits in the county of Flanders, and there is a curious third passage describing his relationship to Gilbert of Gent, the richest post-Conquest Flemish settler in England, who is said to have been Hereward's godfather. The purpose of this article is to take a fresh look at these passages and to assess them in the light of sources written on the Continent which seemingly confirm theGestasections on Flanders.

In this quantitative study, Sarah Barea analyses the current advanced practice roles in primary care in Cornwall Aim: To analyse current primary care advanced practice roles in Cornwall, measured against Health Education England's Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice. Method: A quantitative questionnaire was sent to all primary care practitioners in the county practicing with an advanced title. Findings: In total, 34 respondents (approximately 60% of those invited) took part. Practitioners have a broad spectrum of experience and education and varied scope of clinical practice. The grading of roles does not compare with educational level, experience or scope of practice. This is consistent with current literature which explores the need to regulate the role. Conclusion: If the Advanced Practice Framework is implemented as planned, then there are gaps in current practice that need to be addressed in order to ensure practitioners have the competencies to provide safe, autonomous practice.

Annotation:

An ex-Royal Navy frigate, HMS ‘Scylla’, was placed on the seabed in Whitsand Bay, south Cornwall on 27 March 2004. After five years, the reef supported a mature steel wreck community. The colonization of the reef showed wide fluctuations in species abundance in the first two years but, by 2006, most species that dominated or characterized the reef after five years had settled. Significant colonization events included settlement of barnacles, tubeworms and hydroids within a month and remarkably high settlements of the sea urchin Psammechinus miliaris and the queen scallop Aequipecten opercularis in the first year together with starfish Asterias rubens, solitary sea squirts and ephemeral algae. The plumose anemone Metridium senile, a characteristic species of wrecks, arrived in late summer 2004 but the widely distributed dead man's fingers Alcyonium digitatum was not observed until spring 2005. Wrasse were slow to colonize the reef but were established in small numbers by the end of 2007. Sea fans, Eunicella verrucosa, were first observed in August 2007. The species count for the reef stood at 263 taxa by the end of March 2009. The inside of the reef remained poorly colonized even after five years. Areas coated with tributyltin (TBT) antifouling paint only had colonization where the paint had flaked-off or on non-toxic paint markings, but with some indication that colonization may be occurring by a very few species especially near to non-TBT areas. Many species characteristic of natural reefs had not settled and neither do they occur on older wrecks including branching axinellid sponges, some cushion sponges and the yellow cluster anemone Parazoanthus axinellae. The artificial reef developed a community that was distinctly different to nearby natural rock reefs and such artificial structures should not be considered as a replacement for damaged or destroyed natural habitats.

This article aims to analyse what is widely considered the hardest period in D. H. Lawrence’s life. We will look into the reasons why he rejected London’s intellectual circles, the city’s lifestyle, and its inhabitants. We will also see what spoilt his love at first sight with Cornwall, turning it in a hellish experience. In brief, we will focus on the long period (24 June 1914 – 14 November 1919) during which Lawrence and Frieda were forced to stay in England under difficult circumstances. Little wonder that those years, corresponding to the War period, became a nightmarish experience that would mark the rest of their lives.The resulting disappointment cast a shadow, especially on Lawrence, through all his life. What made things even worse in the long run was the disappointment deriving from the pollution which was already pestering the air there. Indeed, he was right since we have created a cloud of venomous fumes which keep hovering above us. The only solution, as Lawrence wisely and prophetically suggested, could be to connect back to nature and respect it, and certainly, nature will return the favour. In the meantime, unfortunately, it seems that we have not realised that our arrogant and disrespectful attitude has led us almost to the verge of self-destruction. However surprising it may be, the shockingly violent and fast spreading Covid-19 pandemic, on forcing governments to impose lockdowns and stringent travelling restrictions even from country to country, has given nature a chance to be reborn and show itself in all its breathtaking beauty. Although we were mesmerized by that, let us not be under any illusion as we all know that it cannot last long because the world economy needs to get back to business as usual. Nonetheless, I believe it is high time that we took action to try to solve issues, such as global warming, all aspects of environmental pollution and its effects on ecosystems and human health. Let us face it, perhaps this is the last opportunity we have to save humanity from total destruction.

There are various locations designated as islands in popular and/or official usage that do not conform to the established definition of their being areas of land surrounded by water. After a discussion of the six types of mischaracterised islands in England, this short article provides a case study of one such location, St Ives Island, in the county of Cornwall. Discussion extends to possible historical causes of the area’s island designation and how this designation has been perpetuated in common usage, place naming and in tourism and product promotion. The case study highlights that the affective aspect of perceived islandness is more important in local contexts than fidelity to strict geographic definitions.

In this regional study of Methodist development and societal influence throughout the period of industrialisation, recent trends in Methodist historiography at a national level are combined with the research and source material accumulated at a local level, to provide a detailed analysis of Methodist growth in Cornwall between the years 1780 and 1870. The thesis is divided loosely into three sections. In the first, four chapters outline the essential background to interpretative analysis by considering, in turn, recent historiographical developments in Methodist studies; social change in Cornwall during industrialisation; the performance of the Anglican Church in the county as represented in the Visitation Returns for 1779, (as well as historical and structural reasons for its 'failure'); and Methodist growth as expressed through available statistical indices, especially the date of formation of Methodist societies, and the 1851 Ecclesiastical Census. In the second section, one long chapter is devoted to an in-depth, county-wide analysis of Methodist growth, which considers the impact of external factors, particularly socio-economic, and internal circumstances, such as the degree of maturity of pastoral and administrative machinery, and the level of Connexional or lay control over chapel and circuit affairs, on the form and function of Methodism in nine distinct socioeconomic regions within the county. In the third section, four chapters concentrate on West Cornwall, where Methodism was strongest, in order to examine the roots of, and reasons for, the distinctively indigenous form of Methodism which developed there. On the one hand, the pastoral and administrative difficulties in exerting adequate Connexional control are considered; while on the other, an interpretation of the 'folk' functionality of revivals and of Methodism as a 'popular religion' is offered.

Emigration from Cornwall outstripped all other counties in England and Wales in the late nineteenth century: it was at the top of the league table of per capita emigration. The international adjustment by the Cornish migrants was framed by the income differential which had decisively widened under the impact of the much more successful copper mining operations overseas. Cornish emigration showed that the effects of mining decline were written on top of the conventional processes of rural decline as the industrial economy of Britain expanded, sucking away much of the demographic revolution. Cornwall and Kent were two variants of the general responsiveness of rural England to the opportunities of emigration and the imperatives of population shifts. Kent was a more purely rural county, with little mining activity, but adjacent to London.

This chapter revisits ‘the Cornish commotion’ of 1548 — a short-lived but, from the Crown's point of view, deeply troubling émeute which flared up in West Cornwall in April that year, during the course of which a royal commissioner who was overseeing the removal of images from local churches was killed. It argues that the stir may well have owed something to Cornwall's unique cultural heritage, as well as to its deep-seated religious conservatism. The chapter also examines how England found itself with a child upon the throne: a situation that would have been fraught with potential danger even if it had not been for the deep religious fissures that had opened up in the country as a result of ‘the king's Reformation’. It recounts Edward Seymour's appointment as ‘protector of the realm’ and, a few days after this, as part of a general distribution of honours to the new king's councillors, Seymour was created Duke of Somerset. The chapter outlines the policies of the new regime of which Edward was the titular head, but Somerset was the driving force.

This chapter considers the geographical conditions and jurisdictional arrangements that made English islands hard to govern. It examines the tension between concerns of central authority and insular assertions of privilege and exemption. The Isle of Man, with its Gaelic roots and Viking heritage, had claims to be an independent kingdom ruled by the earls of Derby. The Isles of Scilly were part of Cornwall, the Isle of Wight was politically attached to Hampshire, and Anglesey was a county of Wales, yet each behaved as if it were partly autonomous. Aristocratic proprietors such as the Stanleys, the Godolphins, the Oglanders, and the Bulkeleys vied for dominance with the central government and with island populations

Abstract Writing in the London Magazine, Bryan Waller Procter (the poet and dramatist ‘Barry Cornwall’) announced the death from consumption of his fellow-poet John Keats ‘on the 23rd of February, 1821, at Rome, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health’. For Procter this was the chronicle of a death foretold:When Keats left England, he had a presentiment that he should not return: that this has been too sadly realized the reader already knows.—After his arrival in Italy, he revived for a brief period, but soon afterwards declined, and sunk gradually into his grave. He was one of three English poets who had been compelled by circumstances to adopt a foreign country as their own. He was the youngest, but the first to leave us.

This chapter argues that the Western Rising of 1549 was the product of a general sense of suspicion, unease and resentment that had been building up across the kingdom for many years and which appears to have been especially strong among the people of Devon and Cornwall. It investigates how this general sense of malaise developed in a moment, and considers the particular terrain in which it took root. The chapter presents the terrain of the south-western peninsula, which, then as now, contained some of the most rugged, varied and beautiful landscapes in the entire kingdom. The chapter also provides an introduction to the Tudor West Country, while at the same time considering the dramatic impact that the major religious reforms undertaken by Edward's pugnacious father, Henry VIII, during the 1530s and 1540s had upon the region and its inhabitants. It demonstrates how the tempo of religious change quickened — across the West Country, just as across England as a whole — during the two years following Henry's death and his son's accession, in January 1547.

Bordering Cornwall to the west and Dorset and Somerset to the east and north, Devon is one of England’s largest counties. With Exeter as its capital, it is bounded by the English Channel to the south and the Bristol Channel some 70 miles to the north. In between is a bucolic landscape of gently rolling and verdant pastures for the grazing of dairy cattle and sheep; rich arable farmland; and the rugged, upland country of Dartmoor and Exmoor. This is enviable agricultural country. Devon’s beautiful pasturelands provide grazing for dairy cattle and the county is the source of rich dairy products such as milk, cream, Devon’s famous clotted cream, as well as an increasing and outstanding range of farmhouse cheeses. On upland farms, native breeds such as Red Ruby and South Devon cattle, as well as lamb raised on Dartmoor and Exmoor, provide excellent meats. Organic vegetables and fruit are cultivated in the rich red earth of Devon. Wild foods such as game as well as mushrooms and plants foraged in woodlands add to the local diet, while an increasing range of artisan, hand-crafted foods are produced on both small, cottage scale as well as at a level that allows for national and even international distribution. A fabulous catch of fish and shellfish is landed by day boats and trawlers alike in the ports of Brixham and Exmouth. Regional foods are most ably washed down with traditional cask-conditioned ales, raspingly tannic Devon farmhouse ‘scrumpy’ or cider, and an increasing number of award-winning Devon wines.

Proponents of European colonial interests were seduced by dreams of mineral wealth flowing from the Americas. When torrents of gold and silver proved elusive, they prosecuted their investments along other commodity lines. In time, the mineral wealth would be exposed in episodes of strenuous extraction. This chapter examines case studies of the facets of extractive industries revealed through archaeology. The expanding transport arteries discussed in the previous chapter impacted natural resource harvesting, such as lumber cutting in West Virginia. Turning to mineral mining, an array of structures and equipment populate the terrains examined by archaeologists. Copper mines of the Great Lakes show impacts of methods developed in Cornwall, England. Moving west in the United States, one sees gargantuan operations in Montana and new techniques in California that denuded the landscape. Coal fields across the country were worked by waves of immigrants and experienced ethnic and economic class interactions. Tragic clashes of management and workers ensued. Finally, oil derricks and shale strata present domains of petroleum harvesting and corresponding challenges for the workers and their families.

Annotation:

This chapter reflects on the last years of Henry III's personal rule. After Henry's return to England, a degree of political calm is suggested by the paucity of notes on the chancery rolls stating on whose authority letters had been issued. The almost blanket coverage of such notes had lapsed during the course of 1253 and was not revived. Henry was also working with his council. How frequently and formally it met is unknown, but it was certainly involved in a wide variety of business. Indeed, in 1257 it attempted to reform the king's finances and lay down rules for its own conduct. Some of its membership is clear: the king's foreign relatives, the bishop of Worcester, Richard of Cornwall, Richard de Clare, John fitzGeoffrey, Hugh Bigod (Roger Bigod's brother), John Mansel, the household stewards, and the king's senior judges, with Henry of Bath now returning to head the court coram rege. Yet there was also, in Henry's relations with his council, something which foreshadowed the crash to come. For Henry remained quite able to disregard its advice and forge ahead on his own. Over the Sicilian affair he did so with cataclysmic consequences.
