  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification One of the youngest natural coastlines of England is the Holderness Coast, a 61 km long stretch of low glacial drift cliffs 3m to 35m in height. The Holderness coast stretches from Flamborough Head in the north to Spurn Head in the south. The Holderness coast mainly exists of soft glacial drift cliffs, which have been cut back up to 200 m in the last century. On the softer sediment, the crumbling cliffs are fronted by beach-mantled abrasion ramps that decline gradually to a smoothed sea floor. The Holderness coast is a macro-tidal coast, according to the scoping study the classification of the coast is: 2. Soft rock coasts High and low glacial sea cliffs 1.1.2 Geology About a million years ago the Yorkshire coastline was a line of chalk cliffs almost 32 km west of where it now is. During the Pleistocene Ice Age (18,000 years ago) deposits of glacial till (soft boulder clay) were built up against these cliffs to form the new coastline. The boulder clay consists of about 72% mud, 27% sand and 1% boulders and large Fig.

  • WOTR Women 2021
    UK COAST TO COAST WOMEN'S WAY OF THE ROSES 4 - 7TH JUNE 2021 Way of the Roses O V E R V I E W The Way of the Roses is, in our opinion the most beautiful and challenging of all of the Coast to coast rides. Starting off in sunny Morecambe, we head East towards Lancaster before getting out into the glorious rolling Lancashire countryside. Pen y Ghent is in constant view to the North as we find ourselves crossing into the Yorkshire dales, courtesy of a 20% climb out of the market town of Settle. This section is the toughest of the whole ride with another climb up to Greenhow hill and one or two other 16 - 18% climbs thrown in for good measure. The scenery will more than make up for the leg busting climbs as Yorskshire shows off it's best vistas and some of the UK's finest scenery! Small mercies follow as we descend out of the dales into the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside before riding along traffic free cycle paths into the bustling Medieval city of York. We'll soon find ourselves back in rural surroundings as we head towards Pocklington,with just one more gentle climb to get us onto the top of the East Yorkshire Wolds before 40 glorious descending miles all the way to the East coast of England and the Quintessentially British seaside town of Bridlington! Route D E T A I L S The Way of the Roses route runs from Morecambe to Bridlington - a total of 270km and 2,500m of climbing.
