BACKGROUND 1.1. Introduction 1.1.1 Messrs Wighton, Jagger, Shaw Architects Ltd of Harrogate have instructed J.M Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy to prepare an Assessment of Heritage Asset Significance Statement to supplement their planning application in respect of alterations to Easby Hall, Easby, Great Ayton, Hambleton, TS9 6JQ. 1.1.2 John Trippier BA (Hons),MRICS, PIFA is a Chartered Surveyor and Practitioner of the Institute of Field Archaeologists with over 40 years experience of surveying and recording buildings of types. He is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and has a 1st Class Honours degree in Archaeology and Medieval History. He formed his own practice in 1997 and has since specialised in archaeological contracts with the emphasis on the recording and analysis of historic buildings. He was assisted in this assessment by Stephen Price BA (Hons), MPhil. 1.2 Planning Requirements 1.2.1 The central government Planning Policy Statement, PPS5: Planning for the Historic Environment, which came into effect on 1st April 2010, sets out the Government’s planning policies on the conservation of the historic environment. English Heritage has produced a Planning Practice Guide (PPG) to accompany PPS5. 1.2.2 Policy HE 7 requires that, in decision making, local planning authorities should seek to identify and assess the significance of any element of the historic environment that may be affected by the relevant proposal (7.1). And, in considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset, local planning authorities should take into account the particular nature of the significance of the heritage asset and the value that it holds for this and future generations. This understanding should be used by the local planning authority to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposals (7.2). 1.2.3 A ‘Heritage Asset’ is a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape positively identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions. Heritage assets are the valued components of the historic environment. They include designated assets ( such as a Scheduled Monument, Listed Building or a Conservation Area)and assets identified by the local planning authority during the process of decision-making or through the plan-making process (including local listing) ( PPS5 ANNEX 2). ___________________________________________________________________________________ J.M.Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy: May 2011 A Heritage Asset Statement for Easby Hall, Easby, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, 4 1.2.4 Applicants are now required to provide a) a description of the significance of the heritage assets affected (by the proposals) and the contribution of their setting to that significance. and b) an assessment of the likely impact of the proposals on the heritage assets The level of detail should be proportionate to the importance of the heritage asset and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on the significance of the heritage asset (Policy HE6). 2. MODUS OPERANDI 2.1 Policy HE6 also requires that, as a minimum, the relevant Historic Environment Record (HER) should be consulted and the heritage asset assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary given the application’s impact. The PPG also recommends that the following steps should be taken: • Check the development plan and main local and national records including the relevant HER, statutory and local lists, the Heritage Gateway, the National Monuments Record and other relevant sources of information that would provide an understanding of the history of the place and the value the asset holds for society • Examine the asset and its setting • Carry out additional assessment where the initial search has established an architectural, historic, artistic and /or archaeological interest but the extent, nature or importance of which needs to be established more clearly before safe decisions can be made about change to the site. This may require a desk-based assessment and /or on-site evaluation. Such may be necessary for all types of asset including buildings, areas and wreck sites where understanding of the asset’s history and significance is incomplete. 2.2 In accordance with the above requirements we have consulted the Heritage Gateway, the National Monument Records, English Heritage’s Scheduled Monument Listing, Parks and Gardens Register and Listed Buildings Register, the Historic Environment Records (HER) for North Yorkshire and the North York Moors National Park. The North Yorkshire HER officer advised that no additional information or listings were recorded in respect Easby Hall and its environs. North Yorkshire Archives, Northallerton Local Studies Library and a variety of other sources were checked to enable an assessment of the available sources to be made and a bibliography of sources used is included. In addition, a large collection of deeds and leases dating from the 18th century onwards relating to Easby Hall and the Easby Estate were made available by the current owners of the Hall. These documents and have been assessed for the purposes of this brief and are referred to in the text below. ___________________________________________________________________________________ J.M.Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy: May 2011 A Heritage Asset Statement for Easby Hall, Easby, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, 5 2.3 We have also consulted the on-line version of the Local Planning Framework for Hambleton DC but could find no references to Easby although Easby Hall Park had been recorded as a Leisure Park and Garden under Policy L8 of the now defunct District Wide Local Plan. 3. SITE AND SETTING 3.1 Easby Hall is located in the village of Easby in North Yorkshire, some 3.5 miles east of the market town of Stokesley. Its precise location is shown with a red arrow on the map at Appendix 1 and its National Grid Reference is NZ57880873. The Hall lies a short distance south of the village centre on the west side of the valley of the river Leven with the Otter Hills Beck to the west. The land rises steeply on the east side of the valley to high moorland at Easby Moor. The moorland lies within the North York Moors National Park, the settlement of Easby outside of the National Park. 4. ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Prehistoric 4.1 The moorland to the east of Easby is a landscape of prehistoric settlement but as no sites or finds from this period are recorded in the Leven valley close to Easby Hall. The closest site is a Bronze Age round barrow (NYM1535) 0.5km to the north in Easby Woods. Anglo Scandinavian 4.2 The place name Easby suggests a Viking origin to the settlement; Esebi or Eseby meaning the farm or village of Esi. While no evidence from this period has been recorded at Easby, Anglo Scandinavian sculpture and grave goods have been found at nearby at Kildale (2 miles east of Easby) indicating Viking settlement in the area. Medieval 4.3 The manor of Easby is mentioned in the Doomsday book where it is described as “terra regis” owned by the crown and was assessed as 2 carucates and land sufficient for 1 plough (Graves 1808 p232). At some time after the Conquest the manor or at least part of Easby was granted with the manor of Stokesley and other lands to the Baliols (Graves 1808 p233). The Norman motte (NYM 1533) at Castle Hill on high ground above the river Leven to the east (NGR 58970847) may have been erected by Bernard de Balliol possibly without permission from the crown (I'Anson 1913 p245-7). This location affords an excellent vantage point with commanding views of the surrounding countryside and the motte, which has Scheduled Monument protection (SM 20534), may have been built as a watch-tower or temporary refuge some distance from the farmed land which comprised the manor. 4.4 The manors of Easby and Stokesley descended by marriage to the Eures who were a branch of the Barons of Warkworth but took their name from their lordship and seat of Eure in Buckinghamshire.The manor remained with the ___________________________________________________________________________________ J.M.Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy: May 2011 A Heritage Asset Statement for Easby Hall, Easby, Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, 6 Eures throughout the medieval period and the historian Ord suggests that they resided at Easby (1846 p409-10). 4.5 A chapel at Easby is mentioned in a document of 1349 (NYM 12434, NMR 27361). In 1808 the antiquarian Graves reports that the remains were "distinctly visible till within a few years" but that the site in Chapel Garth had been ploughed and the foundation of the building could only be traced with difficulty (1808 p237). In 1846 the historian Ord, states “an ancient chapel stood here (at Easby) and a chapel yard” but that “no remains of the chapel can now be traced but that a field near the village called Chapelgarth is where it probably stood” (Ord 1846 p 409-10).

  • Roseberry Topping a Short Tour of the Celebrated Landmark the Book “Roseberry Topping”
    Roseberry Topping a short tour of the celebrated landmark The book “Roseberry Topping” This presentation is taken from a book, published in 2006, by the local history group Great Ayton Community Archaeology and the landscape photographer Joe Cornish, who lives in Great Ayton. All 3,000 copies of the publication were sold in six months or so, and copies rarely, if ever, appear on the second-hand market. Geology Roseberry Topping consists of almost horizontal strata arranged like a layer cake. Saltwick Sandstone cap Whitby Mudstone (with jet at lower levels) Cleveland Ironstone Staithes Sandstone Origin of the name The name Roseberry Topping derives from Othenesberg, Old Norse for the hill of Odin, named by the Scandinavian invaders. The initial “R” arose from the village of Newton-under- Roseberry, with alliteration of the “r” of “under”. Toppinn is Old Norse for hill. This became Anglicised into Topping. Roseberry is the only location in Britain to be overtly named after Odin, and was clearly held in high regards by the Scandinavians. Lord Rosebery In spite of the slightly different spelling, the title “Lord Rosebery” does derive from the Topping. The Earldom of Roseberry was created in 1703 by Queen Anne, in recognition of Sir Archibald Primrose’s support for William of Orange. The Primrose family owned land near Roseberry Topping, and thought the name “Roseberry” had a good sound to it, hence they adopted the name for the title. Over the years it lost one of its “r” letters. The Fifth Earl, shown here, is remembered for having three ambitions; to marry the richest woman in England, to become Prime Minister and to win the Derby with one of his horses.

  • The Yorkshire Matterhorn
    Viewpoint The Yorkshire Matterhorn Time: 15 mins Region: Yorkshire and the Humber Landscape: rural Location: National Trust car park at Roseberry Topping, off A173, near Newton under Roseberry, Cleveland, North York Moors, TS9 6QS Grid reference: NZ 57000 12800 Driving through the gently rolling landscape on the edge of the North York Moors, you cannot fail to notice the craggy peak of Roseberry Topping standing proudly like a church spire amongst a cluster of cottage rooftops. The hill is known locally as ‘the Yorkshire Matterhorn’ because its shape reminds people of the pyramidal peak of that mighty mountain. Straddling the Swiss and Italian border, and standing 4478m tall, the Matterhorn is one of Europe’s highest mountains. What has produced Roseberry Topping’s distinctive shape and made visitors think of a mountain over 965 miles away? There are two reasons for the curious profile of Roseberry Topping. The first is down to geology, or the rocks that make up this area. Roseberry Topping is rather like a layer cake, with bands of different rocks sitting one on top of the other. The base is sandstone, next is a layer of ironstone, then mudstone, and it is topped off with a sandstone cap. The other hills in the area are also layered from these stones, but most do not have a sandstone cap. Over the years wind, rain and ice have battered the local hills, slowly breaking down the rocks and washing them away in a process called erosion. This has left the rounded moors we see today. Sandstone, however, is a harder rock than the others in the area, so the cap on Roseberry Topping acted like a shield and gave it more protection.

  • The North York Moors Re-Visited
    The Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS Key words: physical environment; agricultural land use; rural settlement; services; tourism; transport; urban settlement. Thirty or so years ago, I wrote an essay about The North York Moors for the BBC Domesday Survey (Silson 1986). This new essay examines the extent to which changes have occurred since then. Shortly after the first article was published in1986, I was interested enough to do further field work on the area so some information used here is for 1985 and some for 1986. Likewise contemporary fieldwork was undertaken in both 2015 and 2016. The area allocated to me in 1985 excluded the eastern part of the region administered by The North York Moors National Park Authority, hereafter: NYMNPA, but included some peripheral areas administered by Hambleton and Ryedale District Councils. The same area is discussed in this essay, and the extent of the area is delimited in Figure 1. This essay is illustrated by plates located near the end. Figure 1 Morpholgical features of The North York Moors Physical Environment The North York Moors is a tectonically relatively stable inland area (Goudie 1990). Hence its morphology has scarcely had time to change in a mere thirty years. An example of a very small change has been the making of a small pond about two km to the east of Thirsk. But the major morphological contrasts continue to be controlled by lithological contrasts in underlying rocks (Straw and Clayton 1979).
