ITALIAN ALDER (Alnus Cordata) Thorne Parish This Excellent ITALIAN ALDER (Alnus cordata) Thorne Parish This excellent example of an Italian Alder is in the car park boundary of the Punch Bowl Inn, Thorne. They grow equally well on dry or wet sites. The timber was once widely used for making lock gates and underwater piles. The wood was also extensively used in the manufacture of clogs. This particular tree has a trunk girth of 3.29 metres (10ft 9 ½in), a height of 20 metres and a branch spread of 19metres. Due to their versatility and tolerance of very dusty conditions, they should be planted much more widely. They make a first rate street tree. 51 THE ‘SYKEHOUSE RUSSET’ Malus sylvestris Cultivar Thorne Parish The Sykehouse Russet is an Old English variety of apple which has become very scarce. Fortunately, thanks to a few caring owners, the variety has only just survived into the twenty first century. I have only found two such trees which have been authenticated by expert Pomologists. One is located in a small orchard in Sykehouse, and the other one in a small garden at Fieldside, Thorne. The one at Thorne has dual stems, almost from ground level, one of which has a small cavity near its base. Each stem is 0.495 metres (19½ in) girth, with a canopy height of 4.5 metres. The Sykehouse Russet is an important apple tree, as many of the old varieties have been lost in recent years due to the change of land use, and the lack of orchard management in some cases. Other English varieties which have been endangered, include famous names like: ‘Peasgoods Nonsuch’, ‘Mrs Toogood’ and ‘Lewis Incomparable’. However, there has been a great deal of interest shown by enthusiasts in recent years towards the propagation of these important trees that have helped to raise public awareness. A ‘Sykehouse Russet’ in the village of The small twin stemmed ‘Sykehouse Sykehouse itself Russet’ at Thorne 52 JUDAS TREE (Cercis siliquastrum) Thorne Parish The “Judas Tree” was introduced to Britain from the Mediterranean region in the 16th century. They are very prominent during May when their rosy-lilac flowers emerge before the leaves, giving a welcome splash of colour (see photo). There are several specimens to be found throughout the borough, but featured here is one of the better examples, and can be seen on Brooke Street, Thorne at the junction with Bellwood Crescent. It has a dual stem, each being approximately 80cm in girth (2ft 7½in) and has a height and spread of 7 metres. 53 Judas Tree at the junction of Brooke Street and Bellwood Crescent Thorne. 54 HOLM OAK (Quercus ilex) Hatfield Parish The “Holm Oak” or “Evergreen Oak” has been cultivated in Britain for about 400 years. They grow to huge proportions (30m) and are an important broad leaved evergreen tree. In addition, and in complete contrast, they are excellent for making stout hedges which will tolerate maritime exposure. The one included here is located at the Manor House, Hatfield. Obtaining accurate measurements of the trunk girth was difficult due to extensive basal growth. It has an approximate trunk girth of 2.44 metres (8ft), a height of 18 metres and a branch spread of 14 metres. Other good examples of Holm Oak may be found at Warmsworth Hall (now the Moathouse) and Wadworth Hall main entrance. 55 LUCOMBE OAK (Quercus x hispanica ‘Lucombiana’) Hatfield Parish This large oak tree is situated close to the entrance of the Manor House, Hatfield, and adjacent to the previously mentioned Holm Oak. Its ivy covered trunk girth of 4.5 metres (14ft 11ins measured over ivy) divides into two main stems at low level. It is a dominating feature of the gardens with its 20 metres branch spread and height of 22.5 metres. Its age is estimated to be 170 – 200 years old. 56 WILD SERVICE TREE (Sorbus torminalis) Hatfield Parish Also known as the “Chequer Tree”, it is native to England, but quite infrequent. A few examples may be found in the Tickhill and Braithwell areas in the ancient hedgerows. This good sized example is also in a field boundary hedgerow off Guile Lane, Hatfield. It has a trunk girth of 1.14 metres (3ft 9in), a height of 7.3 metres and a branch spread of 6 metres. It is understood that many Public Houses were called “The Chequers Inn” after the name of these trees due to the heady drink which could be seasonally made from their berries. Also, the Romans used its timber to make fine quality charcoal. In the 20th century many were lost due to extensive hedgerow removal policies thereby dramatically changing the English landscape. 57 ENGLISH OAK (Quercus robur) Hatfield Parish Adjacent to Park Lane, Dunsville which leads to ‘Pike Pool’ stands this veteran oak tree. It has two trunks which are growing from one large base. When this tree was inspected during March 2000 there were the remains of the decay fungus Fistulinia hepatica (Beefsteak fungus) at its base, and one large bough was partially broken, its extremity resting on the ground. One trunk measures 2.53 metres in girth (8ft 3½in) and the other 4.32 metres (14ft 2in). The branch spread is 20 metres and the height is 15.5 metres. The age of this tree is difficult to determine, but is likely to be in the region of 200 years. 58 SILVER PENDANT LIME (Tilia tomentosa ‘Peliolaris’) Edenthorpe Parish Within a rear garden off The Drive, Edenthorpe, stands this fully mature lime, and towers above the surrounding rooftops. It has a height of approximately 21 metres with a trunk girth of 2.4 metres (8ft ½in) measured at 2 metres above ground level. The measurement could not be taken lower down the trunk due to a boundary wall which has been built along side it. The branch spread is approximately 12 metres. This tree is likely to have been part of the original planting scheme within the grounds of the former hall. 59 COMMON YEW (Taxus baccata) Edenthorpe Parish There are several Yew trees in the grounds of Edenthorpe Hall Primary School, two of which are listed here. Both are located near the southern boundary of the school, close to the playground. One has a trunk girth of 3.85 metres (10ft 1½), a branch spread of 11 metres and a height of approximately 8 metres. It is in a poor condition with sparse foliage. The ground beneath the tree is heavily compacted and many roots are exposed. The second tree is a healthy specimen despite some ground compaction. It has a trunk girth of 3.01 metres (9ft 10½) at 1 metre from ground level. It then forms three main trunks at 1.2 metres. It has a branch spread of 12 metres and a height of 8.5 metres. The age of both trees are estimated at 200 to 300 years old. 60 GREY POPLAR (Populus x canescens) Edenthorpe Parish This fully mature “Grey Poplar” is situated within the front garden of a private house opposite Hungerhill School, Edenthorpe. It has been extensively pruned in recent years, but still has a height of 20 metres. The trunk girth is 3.16 metres (10ft 4½in). Grey Poplars are not normally planted in gardens as they are not a suitable choice for restricted areas. The Grey Poplar is more useful if planted in shelter belts on farm land or used as a quick growing screen for agricultural buildings. 61 ENGLISH OAK (Quercus robur) Cantley Parish This tree is located in the parkland of Cantley Hall. The trunk is actually two stems fused together at the base up to a height of 2.2m. The stems then separate to form a dual or twin-stemmed specimen. The total trunk girth at 1.5m from ground level is 7.3 metres (23ft 1in). It is approximately 22 metres in height with a crown spread of 22 metres. As to age, this is very difficult to determine, but a conservative estimate would be 200 - 300 years. Some damage is visible on the buttress roots that has been caused by gnawing/grazing animals in the park, e.g. horses. This type of damage is also evident on the other large trees in the parkland that has occurred over many years, and is usual in such situations. With regard to ancient oak trees readers will be interested to note that one of the largest oak trees ever found in Britain was a Bronze Age specimen found in the peat bog of Thorne Moors in 1701. (Howes and Allen 99 p.17). Its vital statistics were recorded as follows: trunk length 120ft, circumference 36ft at its basal end, 30ft in the middle and 18ft at the top where the trunk was broken off. Another ‘bog oak’ was discovered in the 1840’s near Arksey, (Howes and Allen 99 p17). No statistics are available as to the likely dimensions of this tree. However, a most unusual armchair was carved out of it by a local cabinet maker. This ornamental chair can still be seen today in the Mansion House, Doncaster. 62 SWEET CHESTNUT (Castanea sativa) Cantley Parish This ancient sweet chestnut tree, also located in the parkland of Cantley Hall has been crown reduced to 9 metres in height. The crown reduction has been necessary in the interests of safety and to help maintain the tree. It has extensive damage and decay to the lower trunk and buttress roots. The girth is 5.51 metres (18ft 1in) in circumference, and has a crown spread of 12 metres.

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

At that time, English Heritage conserved the hall ‘as found’ complete with 20th-century family clutter as well as the faded glory of its grand state rooms. Instigated by English Heritage, work is currently in progress to carry out much needed measures in order to halt the decay of this Victorian country house. The conservation work is a one year project, and it is expected to be completed sometime towards the end of 2017. Also included will be the major work to repair the revolving window shutters, mend leaking skylights and renew the heating system. Visitors to Brodsworth Hall during this time will experience conservation in action, and a new exhibition will enable them to discover more about the challenges of caring for the Hall. To ensure that the delicate contents of the Hall are protected from the dust and debris created by this work, some protection has been installed around the house, and hoarding has also been put up in the rooms where the work will take place, to allow conservators and experts to undertake their repairs safely.

But by the same token, these are exciting times for us. No-one has any doubt that in 2029 the Church of England in South Yorkshire and the East Riding will look very different from the way it is now — but equally no- one is yet very clear about the shape it will take. Our plan is an ambitious one and we are hungry for change. We are asking tough questions. Will the whole people of God be mobilised for the whole mission of God? What will morale be like, among key lay and ordained leaders? Will attendance figures be in decline or growing? Will there be more stipendiary incumbents or fewer? Will there be more congregations or fewer? Will we raise up a dynamic community of ‘Lights for Christ’? Will we grow a praying community of 2025 by 2025? These questions were already pressing ones for us before the present pandemic: they will surely be even more urgent for us now.
