    CLAPHAM & DISTRICT NEWSLETTER Number 88, April, 2014 Clapham Community Shop Steering Group Following the overwhelming backing of the community, the Steering Group has begun to look into the feasibility of the village store becoming a community-owned and run business. However, Terry had to make the difficult decision to close the shop on 24 May, despite last-minute efforts initiated by a villager to rally support. We wish Terry well for the future and for his other business interests. As a newly-formed voluntary group we are not in a position to immediately step in and take on the shop, but we will be continuing with the feasibility study, once we have reviewed what we now need to do and the timetable for doing it. An immediate task is to liaise with the Post Office about the possibility of a temporary ‘outreach facility’ being set up in the village. The Steering Group comprises Nick Burton, John Dawson, Diane Elphinstone, James Innerdale, Wendy Jennings, Eddie Leggett, Sue Mann, Esther Pugh, Denise Wilson and me.

  • Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)
    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.
