  • Kilnwick Percy Hall
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes KILNWICK PERCY HALL Report by David and Susan Neave June 2013 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Kilnwick Percy Hall 1.2 Grid reference: SE 825502 1.3 Administrative area: Nunburnholme Civil Parish, East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not registered 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Picturesque 18th-century park with mature woodland, ornamental water, church and deserted village site. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE 3.1 Estate owners An estate at Kilnwick Percy was purchased by Thomas Wood of London in 1563. In 1574 he built a new house there, of which only the datestone survives. In 1627 the estate passed by marriage to the Anderson family of Lea in Lincolnshire. In the early 18th century Edmund Anderson remodeled the house which was further transformed after it was sold to Robert Denison, a West Riding clothier, in 1784. The hall and estate were sold again in 1840 to Arthur Duncombe, son of 1st Baron Feversham of Duncombe Park, who enlarged the house, adding the giant portico. In 1947 the Kilnwick Percy estate was sold to Harry Whitworth whose son Henry demolished a large portion of the house. When the estate was put up for sale again in 1954 much of it was purchased by Lord Hotham of South Dalton, and the hall became the farmhouse for a 320-acre farm. In 1986 the hall and about 42 acres of surrounding parkland and woodland were sold to the Madhyamaka Buddhist Centre. (Neave, ‘Kilnwick Percy Hall’; inf.

  • Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead Page 1 of 53
    Hull History Centre: Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead U DAS Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith 14th cent.-1983 and Family of Winestead Accession number: 1977/07; 2005/16; 2012/27 Biographical Background: Rupert Alexander Alec-Smith was born at Elloughton, near Kingston upon Hull, in 1913. He was the grandson of Alexander Smith, a founding partner of Horsley Smith and Company, a timber importing firm whose small collection of papers dating from 1864 to 1968 is also held at the Hull University Archives (U DHS; see separate entry). Rupert Alec-Smith's parents were Alexander Alec-Smith and Adelaide Horsley. Rupert Alec-Smith was a man with an abiding interest in local and family history and he spent his life fighting to preserve both. In 1936, the demolition of the Georgian Red Hall in Winestead (originally built by the Hildyard family) left a profound impression on him and he founded the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire in 1937 (papers for Lord Derwent and the society are at U DAS/24/13; see also U DX99). He served with the Green Howards during the war and was in Cyprus and the Middle East making the rank of lieutenant colonel by 1944. On leave during the war he rescued fittings from the Georgian residences of Hull's old High Street as this was almost entirely destroyed by German bombs. After the war the Council showed no desire to restore what was left and Alec-Smith continued to salvage what he could from buildings as they were demolished (The Georgian Society for East Yorkshire).

  • U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects
    Hull History Centre: Records of Francis Johnson & Partners, Architects U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects Historical Background: Francis Johnson and Partners, Architects (1937-Present) This firm of architects was established by local architect Francis Johnson in 1937. Based in Bridlington, the office was originally in Manor Street before being moved to its permanent location at Craven House, 16 High Street, in 1940. In the early years there was just Francis and a secretary working at the firm. In 1947 a draughtsman, Brian Smith, was appointed by Francis to help him cope with an increasing workload. The first architect to be appointed was Clive Barnby in 1953 and he remained with the firm until 1971. Tim Pool was the next architect to be appointed, he was with the firm from 1961 until 1967. In 1963 a third architect, Malcolm D. McKie, was appointed and his business acumen proved indispensable to the running of the firm. Malcolm McKie remained at the firm until his retirement. The 1970s and 1980s saw a massive increase in work for the firm, and in 1989 Digby Harris was appointed as the firm's newest architect. In 1991 the leadership of the firm jointly passed to Digby Harris and Malcolm G. Stather. Other employees of the firm have included Roger J.M. Goldthorpe and V. Kemp-Webster. As would be expected, most of the firm's work was located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Staple commissions tended to be located in Bridlington, Driffield, Filey and the surrounding villages. North Yorkshire also provided the firm with a large number of commissions centred round York itself, Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.

  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.
