The '''Isle of Axholme''' is an area of [[Lincolnshire]], England, adjoining [[South Yorkshire]] and the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]]. It is located between [[Scunthorpe]] and [[Gainsborough, Lincolnshire|Gainsborough]], both of which are in the traditional [[West Riding of Lindsey]], and [[Doncaster]], in South Yorkshire.

==Description==
The name ''Isle'' is given to the area since, prior to the area being drained by the Dutchman [[Cornelius Vermuyden]] in the 17th century, each town or village was built on areas of dry, raised ground in the surrounding marshland. The [[River Don, South Yorkshire|River Don]] used to flow to the north and west (it has since been diverted), dividing the Isle from [[Yorkshire]]; the [[River Idle]] separates the Isle from [[Nottinghamshire]]; and the [[River Trent]] separates the Isle from the rest of Lincolnshire. Three towns developed here: [[Epworth, Lincolnshire|Epworth]], [[Crowle, Lincolnshire|Crowle]] and [[Haxey]].

The boundaries of the Isle of Axholme usually match with those of the ancient ''[[wapentake]]'' of Epworth<ref>{{cite web |title=Hundred of Epworth |url=https://opendomesday.org/hundred/epworth/ |website=Domesday Book |publisher=opendomesday.org |access-date=31 January 2022}}</ref> and its 17 communities as listed in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086: [[Belton, North Lincolnshire|Belton]], Crowle, Epworth, Haxey, [[Beltoft]], (High and Low) Burnham, [[Owston Ferry]], [[East Lound|(East) Lound]] and [[Graizelound|(Graise)lound]], [[Garthorpe, North Lincolnshire|Garthorpe]], [[Luddington, North Lincolnshire|Luddington]], [[Amcotts]], [[West Butterwick|(West) Butterwick]], [[Althorpe]], The Marshes, [[Waterton, Lincolnshire|Waterton]], Upperthorpe, and [[Westwoodside]]. Other settlements on the Isle include [[Eastoft]], [[Sandtoft, Lincolnshire|Sandtoft]] – home to Europe's largest [[The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft|trolleybus museum]] – and [[Wroot]].

Much of the northern part of the Isle has flat topography, with rich farmland used mainly to grow [[wheat]] and [[sugar beet]]. The land is particularly fertile due to its history of annual flooding from the Trent and peat soil which was created by dense ancient woodland which covered much of the Isle. Even today, in many parts of the northern Isle, petrified wood can be found at about six feet below ground; relics from this woodland, these are locally called "bog oaks".

A long-distance walking route, the "Peatlands Way", traverses the Isle.<ref name="ldwa">{{cite web |last1= |first1= |title=Peatlands Way |url=https://ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Peatlands+Way |website=www.ldwa.org.uk |publisher=Long Distance Walkers Association |access-date=31 January 2022}}</ref><ref name="peatlands">{{cite web |title=The Peatlands Way |url=https://thepeatlandsway.com/ |website=thepeatlandsway.com |access-date=31 January 2022}}</ref>

==Etymology==
''Axholme'' means "island by [[Haxey]]", from the town name + [[Old Norse language|Old Norse]] ''holmr'' "island". The name was recorded as ''Hakirhomle'' in 1196. The Old English suffix "ey" in "Haxey" also indicates an island.

==Historical descriptions==
===1833 description===
{{Blockquote|''Axholme, Isle of'' Area of slight elevation above flat and formerly marshy tract bounded by the Rivers Trent, Torne and Idle. Towns include Crowle, [[Belton, North Lincolnshire|Belton]], [[Epworth, Lincolnshire|Epworth]] and Haxey on higher ground and Owston Ferry and [[West Butterwick]] beside the River Trent|''Bartholomew's Gazetteer of Britain'' compiled by Oliver Mason (John Bartholomew, 1833)}}

===1911 description===
{{Blockquote|'''AXHOLME,''' an island in the north-west part of Lincolnshire, England, lying between the rivers Trent, Idle and Don, and isolated by drainage channels connected with these rivers. It consists mainly of a plateau of slight elevation, rarely exceeding 100 ft., and comprises the parishes of Althorpe, Belton, Epworth, Haxey, Luddington, Owston and Crowle; the total area being about 47,000 acres.|{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Axholme|volume=3|page=68|noicon=y|short=y}}}}

==Land drainage history==
[[File:"A true and perfect Plot of Hatfield Chase, in the Counties of York, Lincoln, and Nottingham as surveyed by Josias Acerlebout." (1662).jpg|thumb|"A true and perfect Plot of Hatfield Chase, in the Counties of York, Lincoln, and Nottingham as surveyed by Josias Acerlebout." from "The history of imbanking and drayning" by [[William Dugdale]] (1662).]]
The Isle is known for the early influence of [[Cornelius Vermuyden]], a Dutch engineer who initiated the realignment of several of the [[highland carrier]]s flowing through the district. To carry out the work he brought in a large number of [[Flemish people|Flemish]] workers, many of whom settled permanently despite violent opposition from the established population.<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Axholme|volume=3|page=68}}</ref> The drainage allowed increased agricultural production, and has left a legacy in the unique strip farming which survives in the 21st century around Epworth. The watercourses of the Isle and the surrounding area are managed by the Isle of Axholme [[Internal Drainage Board]] which maintains 188 miles (302 km) of watercourse and 18 pumping stations,<ref>[http://www.ioaidb.co.uk/ Isle of Axholme Internal Drainage Board website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004041607/http://www.ioaidb.co.uk/ |date=4 October 2011 }}</ref> and manages the water levels of the adjacent [[Thorne and Hatfield Moors|Thorne Moors]] and Hatfield Moors, both environmentally sensitive areas.

==Road and railway==
The [[Axholme Joint Railway]] traversed the area, but the line has now been abandoned. There are still railway stations in {{stnlnk|Crowle}} and {{stnlnk|Althorpe}} on the line between Scunthorpe and Sheffield. The [[M180 motorway]] now crosses the centre of the area, dividing 'South Axholme', centred on Epworth, from 'North Axholme', centred on Crowle. The [[A161 road]] crosses the Isle from north to south.

==Governance==
There was an [[Isle of Axholme Rural District]] from 1894 to 1974, which covered the entire Isle after 1936. This became part of the [[Boothferry (district)|Boothferry]] district of [[Humberside]] in 1974, and since 1996 has been in the [[North Lincolnshire]] unitary authority.

Following boundary changes in 2023, the isle became part of the new [[Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme (UK Parliament constituency)|Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme]] parliamentary constituency in 2024.

The '''Parts of Lindsey''' are a traditional division of [[Lincolnshire]], England, covering the northern part of the county. The [[Isle of Axholme]], which is on the west side of the [[River Trent]], has normally formed part of it. The district's name originated from the [[Kingdom of Lindsey]] of Anglo-Saxon times, whose territories were merged with that of [[Stamford, Lincolnshire|Stamford]] to form Lincolnshire.

As with the other historic divisions of Lincolnshire, Lindsey is no longer a local government unit, although its name survives in that of two districts of the county council area Lincolnshire ([[East Lindsey|East]] and [[West Lindsey]]), and it is still recognised as a geographical area.

==Local government==
When the English shires were established, Lindsey became part of Lincolnshire. It, and each of [[Kesteven]] and [[Parts of Holland|Holland]], acquired the formal designation of [[Parts of Lincolnshire]]. Thus it became the Parts of Lindsey.

[[File:Ridings of Lindsey - Lincolnshire.svg|thumb|left|Former Ridings of Lindsey in Lincolnshire]]
[[File:"The Map of Lindsey Level" (1662).jpg|thumb|upright=1.32|"The Map of Lindsey Levell" from "The history of imbanking and drayning" by [[William Dugdale]] (1662).]]
Lindsey was itself divided into three [[Riding (division)|riding]]s: the North, West and South Ridings, which in turn were divided into [[wapentake]]s. The [[West Riding of Lindsey|West Riding]] covered the western part, including [[Gainsborough, Lincolnshire|Gainsborough]], [[Scunthorpe]] and [[Spital, Lincolnshire|Spital]]. The [[North Riding of Lindsey|North Riding]] covered the north-east, including [[Barton upon Humber]], [[Caistor]], [[Cleethorpes]], [[Glanford Brigg|Brigg]], [[Grimsby]] and [[Market Rasen]]. The [[South Riding of Lindsey|South Riding]] covered the rest, in the south-east, including [[Louth, Lincolnshire|Louth]], [[Mablethorpe]] and [[Skegness]]. The point at which the Ridings all touched was somewhere near [[Lissington]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roffe.freeserve.co.uk/lindsey.htm|title=Lindsey|access-date=31 March 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060107032828/http://www.roffe.freeserve.co.uk/lindsey.htm|archive-date=7 January 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Lindsey, like the other parts of Lincolnshire, had long had a separate county administration ([[Quarter Sessions]]). In 1889, this division was followed in the establishment of the [[administrative counties of England|administrative county]] of '''Lincolnshire, Parts of Lindsey''', which had an elected [[county council]]. [[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]] and [[Grimsby]] were independent [[county borough]]s.

Within the rest of Lindsey there were various [[Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)|urban district]]s and [[rural district]]s, established by the [[Local Government Act 1894]]. The rural districts were [[Caistor Rural District|Caistor]], [[Gainsborough Rural District|Gainsborough]], [[Glanford Brigg Rural District|Glanford Brigg]], [[Grimsby Rural District|Grimsby]], [[Horncastle Rural District|Horncastle]], [[Isle of Axholme Rural District|Isle of Axholme]], [[Louth Rural District|Louth]], [[Spilsby Rural District|Spilsby]], [[Welton Rural District|Welton]]. A rural district of [[Sibsey Rural District|Sibsey]] also existed until 1936, when it was merged into Spilsby.

The administrative county of Parts of Lindsey was abolished on 1 April 1974 as a result of the [[Local Government Act 1972]]. Its area was divided between two new [[non-metropolitan county|non-metropolitan counties]]: the northern area of Lindsey was placed in [[Humberside]] while the remainder passed to Lincolnshire.<ref name="guide">{{cite book |title=Local government in England and Wales: A Guide to the New System |year=1974 |publisher=[[HMSO]] |location=London |isbn=0-11-750847-0 |pages=60, 71}}</ref> In 1996 the unpopular decision was all but reversed, in that Lincolnshire status was reinstated for the areas that had become South Humberside, however the Lindsey name was not.

[[File:Humberside South.jpg|thumb|Roadsigns showing Humberside and Lindsey]]

Lindsey was divided between six [[non-metropolitan district]]s, as follows<ref name=guide/>

{| class="wikitable"
|-

|[[East Lindsey]] (Lincolnshire)

|[[Boothferry (district)|Boothferry]] (Humberside)
|[[Isle of Axholme Rural District]]; along with areas from the [[East Riding of Yorkshire|East]] and [[West Riding of Yorkshire|West Ridings]] of [[Yorkshire]]
|}

===Present authorities===

In 1996 the Humberside districts were re-grouped into [[Unitary authority|unitary authorities]]; units which performed the duties of both county and administrative district. One is [[North Lincolnshire]] (centred on [[Scunthorpe]]). This comprises the former districts of Glanford and Scunthorpe, as well as the Isle of Axholme which formed the southern part of Boothferry district. The second is [[North East Lincolnshire]], comprising the former districts of [[Great Grimsby (borough)|Great Grimsby]] and [[Cleethorpes (borough)|Cleethorpes]]. The two unitary authorities represent the most urbanised part of traditional Lincolnshire.

The remaining parts of Lindsey largely correspond to the 1974 [[Lincolnshire County Council]] districts of [[West Lindsey]] and [[East Lindsey]].

==History==
[[File:Arts University Bournemouth Logo History.png|120px|alt=Logos of the institution from 1998 to present|left]]

The first [[art school]] in Bournemouth was the Bournemouth Government School of Art, established in 1880.<ref name="Kelly and Co" /> There was a considerable demand in [[Bournemouth]] at that time for instruction in Art and the numbers in the art school soon rose to 180. In 1884, the school became a Science and Art school.<ref>{{cite book|title=Report of Science and Art Department|date=1885|publisher=Bournemouth School of Science and Art|page=113}}</ref> In 1885, the Bournemouth School of Science and Art moved to 1 Regent's Terrace, in Old Christchurch Road, where it remained until 1890.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bishop|first1=Barbara|title=Secondary Education in Bournemouth from 1902 to the present day|publisher=University of Southampton|location=Southampton|page=12}}</ref>

When the Bournemouth School of Science and Art was forced to close due to a decrease in numbers and loss of grant in 1890–91,<ref>{{cite book|title=Report of Science and Art Department|date=1891|publisher=Bournemouth School of Science and Art|page=67}}</ref> the majority of its students were transferred to the Bournemouth West School of Science and Art.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bishop|first1=Barbara|title=Secondary Education in Bournemouth from 1902 to the present day|publisher=University of Southampton|location=Southampton|page=13}}</ref>

In 1913, the two Science and Art Schools at Bournemouth East and Bournemouth West were incorporated into the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design along with the Technical and Commercial Schools. All art subjects then came under the umbrella of the School of Art within the Bournemouth Municipal College.<ref>{{cite book|title=Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design|date=1984|publisher=Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design}}</ref>

'''Richard Harris Barham''' (6 December 1788 – 17 June 1845) was an English cleric of the [[Church of England]], a novelist and a humorous poet. He was known generally by his pseudonym '''Thomas Ingoldsby''' and as the author of ''[[The Ingoldsby Legends]]''.

==Life==
Richard Harris Barham was born in [[Canterbury]]. He was the illegitimate son of a local Alderman, also called Richard Harris Barham and a woman named Elizabeth Ffox.<ref>PROB 11/1265/308/</ref> When he was seven years old his father died, leaving him a small estate, part of which was the manor of Tappington, in [[Denton, Kent]], mentioned frequently in his later work ''[[The Ingoldsby Legends]]''. At nine he was sent to [[St Paul's School (London)|St Paul's School]], but his studies were interrupted by an accident that partly crippled his arm for life. Deprived of vigorous bodily activity, he became a great reader and diligent student.

During 1807 he entered [[Brasenose College, Oxford]], intending at first to study for the law, but deciding on a clerical career instead. In 1813 he was [[ordain]]ed and found a country [[curacy]] at [[Snargate]] in Romney Marsh, marrying Caroline Smart the following year. While there he wrote his first novel ''Baldwin'', published in 1820. He began his second novel, ''My Cousin Nicholas'', though this was not published until 1834.<ref>Alan Major. ''Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Hall'', Bygone Kent, Volume 9, September 1988</ref>

in 1821 he moved to London (to 51 [[Great Queen Street]]), after gaining a [[minor canon]]ry at London's [[St. Paul's Cathedral]], where he served as a [[Cardinal (Church of England)|cardinal]].<ref>[https://archive.org/details/TheNewCatholicDictionary ''The New Catholic Dictionary'' (1929), p. 189]</ref> Three years later he became one of the [[ordinary (officer)|priests in ordinary]] of the King's [[Chapel Royal]], appointed as rector of [[St Mary Magdalen Old Fish Street|St Mary Magdalen]] and [[St Gregory by St Paul's]], living at [[Amen Corner, London|Amen Corner]] in St Paul's Churchyard.<ref>[https://doi-org.lonlib.idm.oclc.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/1376 Rosemary Scott. 'Barham, Richard Harris'] in ''The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (2004)</ref>
[[Image:Ingoldsby Legends dead drummer.jpg|thumb|Illustration by [[George Cruikshank]] for the 'Dead Drummer of [[Salisbury Plain]]', one of ''[[The Ingoldsby Legends]]''.]]

He edited the ''[[London Chronicle]]'' in 1823, and in 1826 first contributed to ''[[Blackwood's Magazine]]''. In 1837 he began to contribute to the recently founded ''[[Bentley's Miscellany]]'' a series of tales (mostly metrical, some in prose) known as ''The Ingoldsby Legends''. These became popular and were published in collected form in three volumes between 1840 and 1847, and have since appeared in numerous editions. They may perhaps be compared to ''[[Hudibras]]''. The stories are generally whimsical, but based on antiquarian learning. There is also a collection of Barham's miscellaneous poems, edited posthumously by his son, called ''The Ingoldsby Lyrics''.

Barham was a political [[Tories (British political party)|Tory]], yet a lifelong friend of the liberal [[Sydney Smith]] and of [[Theodore Edward Hook|Theodore Hook]]. Barham, a contributor to the ''[[Edinburgh Review]]'', the ''[[Literary Gazette]]'' and [[John Gorton (writer)|John Gorton]]'s ''Biographical Dictionary'', also wrote a novel, ''My Cousin Nicholas'' (1834). He died in [[London]] on 17 June 1845, after a long and painful illness.

==Legacy==
Barham is a character in [[George MacDonald Fraser]]'s historical novel ''[[Flashman's Lady]]'', he meets the main character, [[Harry Flashman]], while watching a public execution.

His last poem ''[[As I laye a-thynkynge]],'' was set to music by the English composer [[Edward Elgar]], the song published in 1888. And in 1918 the composer [[Cyril Rootham]] set the same poem, for voice and piano.

There is a Wetherspoons pub in Burgate, [[Canterbury]], near the cathedral, named ''The Thomas Ingoldsby''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-thomas-ingoldsby |title=The Thomas Ingoldsby, Canterbury | Our Pubs |publisher=J D Wetherspoon |date=1997-04-10 |accessdate=2014-04-17}}</ref>

There is a memorial to him at [[St Paul's Cathedral]] in London.<ref>"Memorials of St Paul's Cathedral" [[William Sinclair (Archdeacon of London)|Sinclair, W.]] p. 465: London; Chapman & Hall, Ltd; 1909.</ref>

'''Coutances Cathedral''' ({{langx|fr|Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Coutances}}) is a [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] [[Catholic]] [[cathedral]] constructed from 1210 to 1274 in the town of [[Coutances]], [[Normandy]], [[France]]. It incorporated the remains of an earlier Norman cathedral.

It is the seat of the [[Bishop of Coutances and Avranches]] and was previously that of the [[Bishop of Coutances]].

Standing 80 metres (295 ft) tall, it dominates the town and can be seen from as far away as the island of [[Jersey]]. It is a classic example of the Gothic style of Normandy in its use of long, straight, vertical lines.

==History==
The construction of the first church or cathedral in Coutances in the 5th century is credited to Saint Ereptiolus, traditionally also the first bishop. This cathedral was destroyed during the invasion of the [[Normans]] in the 9th century.

The site lay waste for about 150 years but, in the mid-11th century, Robert, bishop of Coutances, undertook the rebuilding of the cathedral in the [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] or [[Norman architecture|Norman]] style, starting with the nave. Robert died shortly afterward, but the work was carried forward by [[Geoffrey de Montbray]], his successor as bishop, appointed in 1048. Geoffrey was on good terms with [[William, Duke of Normandy]] (later known as the Conqueror), who attended the consecration of the new cathedral in 1056. The bishop subsequently accompanied William on the conquest of England. The cathedral benefited greatly from the enormous profits of this conquest.

The Romanesque cathedral suffered later from a serious fire. In 1210 Bishop Hugues de Morville started to build the present [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] cathedral, retaining the dimensions and much of the fabric of the Romanesque building. Substantial remains of it underlie many of the walls and towers of the present cathedral.

The new cathedral was completed in 1274 and has remained basically unaltered since. The twin towers rise to almost 80m, and its octagonal lantern tower stands over 57m high.

Some damage was done in the [[French Wars of Religion|Wars of Religion]] in 1562 but this was repaired soon after. The [[roodscreen]] was removed in the 17th century. In 1794 during the [[French Revolution]] much superficial damage was done: statues were removed from their niches whilst others were slashed with swords. The cathedral was used successively as a theatre, a grain store and a [[Temple of Reason]], but despite the losses and damage, survived with its structure intact.

During [[World War II]], although much damage was done to the town of Coutances, the cathedral again escaped almost unscathed.

==Building description==
[[File:Coutances - Cathedral SGW 01.jpg|thumb|left|Stained glass windows depicting the [[:en:Last Judgment|Last Judgment]].]]
Over the entrance is a modern window showing the figures of the cathedral founders of 1048 and 1218 (bishops Geoffroy de Montbray and Hugues de Morville); in the centre is the figure of Saint Ereptiole, believed to have built the first church in Coutances.

In the south aisle is a pillar with a carved capital depicting medieval ladies.

The [[lantern tower]] is designed to provide an intense source of light in the centre of the cathedral. Eyes are drawn to the circle at the centre which is meant to represent Heaven, while the earth is the square, and the octagon represents the [[Resurrection]].

Behind the principal altar stand six pairs of pillars supporting the roof, which are said to stand for the [[Twelve Apostles]]. The windows date from the 15th century.

The south [[ambulatory]] contains the Chapel of [[Saint Joseph]], with a wall painting of 1381 that depicts the [[Holy Trinity]] of God the Father, [[Christ]] on the [[Cross (Christianity)|Cross]], and the [[Holy Spirit]] as a [[dove]].

The Chapel of [[Saint Laud]], also in the south ambulatory, is one of the oldest parts of the cathedral, dating from the 13th century. The [[stained glass]] window shows details from the life of Saint Lo, including the saint celebrating mass with the dove of the Holy Spirit appearing above the altar. (His helper holds the hem of his robe to prevent him stepping back on to it and tripping.)

The north ambulatory contains the Chapel of [[Saint Marcouf]], with a window showing scenes from the saint's life. The north ambulatory also holds the holy oils (chrism) used during the sacraments of baptism and extreme unction, confirmation, and at the ordination of priests.

The north transept displays a 13th-century stained-glass window showing scenes from the lives of the saints [[Thomas Becket]], [[Saint George|George]] and [[Saint Blaise|Blaise]].

The floor of the north aisle is laid with medieval tiles decorated with the ''[[fleur-de-lys]],'' or [[lily]], the emblem of the French royal family (and a symbol associated with the [[Virgin Mary]]). Other tiles show the arms of [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]], next to the fleur-de-lys of France. The [[baptismal font]] is located in the north aisle.

The cathedral has had an [[organ (music)|organ]] since before 1468. The current organ was built in 1728 and has four keyboards or manuals, 51 stops and a pedal board. The west window is partially hidden by the organ.

Above the south porch are the symbols of the [[four Evangelists]] (Saints [[Matthew the Evangelist|Matthew]], [[Mark the Evangelist|Mark]], [[Luke the Evangelist|Luke]] and [[John the Evangelist|John]]).<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">
