Matchless Country House Accommodation Accommodation Info Need To Know Important Covid-19 Steps We Have Taken For Guest Safety: Please Read Following the relaxation in government guidance on 19 July, we are continuing to take extra steps to keep our guests leaders, and staff safe in our HF country houses. We ask all our guests to respect the measures put in place. The English, Scottish and Welsh governments are not in sync, so measures in our country houses will vary between the nations. With the relaxation of social distancing in England, from 19 July we will be allowing larger groups to dine and relax in the bar together. However, we will still give guests space e.g. we will seat 6 people at a table where pre-pandemic we may have seated 8. We will ensure our public rooms are well ventilated by opening doors and windows wherever possible. If you have any concerns about distancing, please speak to the House Manager. The government recommendation for England is to wear face coverings in crowded areas. You must wear a face covering by law in public areas in hotels in Scotland. This is mandatory in public spaces; however, face coverings will not be required whilst eating and drinking in the restaurant and bar areas or whilst you are outside our houses. In Wales face coverings will remain a legal requirement indoors, with the exception of hospitality premises. As a temporary measure, we will not be servicing rooms during a stay. Extra tea, coffee, milk, and toiletries will be made available on request for all guests. It is recommended that guests bring their own toiletries for the duration of their stay. We will though be increasing the frequency of cleaning in our public areas providing particular attention to frequently touched items including door handles and handrails. www.hfholidays.co.uk PAGE 4 [email protected] Tel: +44(0) 20 3974 8865 Menus for the week will be available in your room on arrival. A self-service breakfast will be served from 7.45am – 9am. Picnic lunches will now be pre-ordered the night before from an order form in the room. Evening meals will be table service. A dinner order form will be available in each room for completion. Dinner is served at either 7.15pm or 7.30pm. Please check at the house for details. The bar will be open. We will be offering a table service but guests can also come to the bar to order (depending on local restrictions). Join our team after dinner on Wednesday evenings for the HF Big Pub Quiz. There will be one other evening of entertainment at the start of the week, which will vary depending on the country house that you are staying at. Our Walk Leaders will also be on hand in the bar or lounge for individual or small group walks talks briefings, which allow guests to talk through the following day’s walk options and ask any questions. All of our swimming pools are open, except for Glen Coe, which will not re-open this year. Swimming Pools will be operated in line with maximum capacities. For more information and to see all the steps taken, visit our page on how house stays will be adapted. Rooms Tea & coffee-making facilities, TV, Hairdryer, Toiletries, Wi-Fi Stay in one of the main building’s beautifully presented rooms or in the tastefully converted Courtyard rooms, which have been reimagined as pretty bedrooms, where pops of mustard contrast with the blue and teal furnishings. With 48 bright and well-appointed rooms, Newfield Hall is one of our largest properties and there’s a range of Good, Better and Best rooms to choose from: we love rooms 3 and 6, both of which are large corner rooms containing original features, with large bay windows overlooking the gardens and beyond the pristine farmland, hills, and yes, dales, of this picturesque pocket of Yorkshire: make use of the telescope trained through the window of Room 6 to scour the countryside for trails to explore.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

  • Upper Wharfedale
    UPPER WHARFEDALE. BEING A COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF THE HISTORY, ANTIQUITIES AND SCENERY OF THE PICTURESQUE VALLEY OF THE WHARFE, FROM OTLEY TO LANGSTROTHDALE. BY HARRY SPEIGHT, AUTHOR OF " ROMANTIC RICHMONDSHIRE " " NIDDERDALE AND THE GARDEN OF THE NIDD " , " CRAVEN AND NORTH-WEST YORKSHIRE HIGHLANDS, " ETC. ILLUSTRATED. LONDON: ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1900. Entered at Stationers' Hall. PREFACE. HE present treatise on Upper Wharfedale is offered in continuation of the series of my published volumes on the history, antiquities and scenery of the Yorkshire Dales . The work, I must own, makes no pretence to literary excellence, nor is absolute accuracy in all details guaranteed, yet I humbly claim it to be the fullest and I hope the most reliable survey of the district embraced now extant. While much of a general and descriptive character has been written on this exceedingly popular and picturesque valley, it must be noted that with the exception of such records as are contained in the History of Craven by Dr. Whitaker, first published in 18o5, no attempt has hitherto been made to deal succinctly and adequately with the varied concerns of its extensive parishes in what may be considered the spirit of modern topographical enquiry. Dr. Whitaker, followed by his able editor, Mr. A. W. Morant, F.S.A ., will always be honored for the great value of his original researches, which however principally concern manorial history and the titles and lineage of the great lords who had either by inheritance or purchase a possessory right in the soil . His work, moreover, embracing the whole of the ancient and extensive Deanery of Craven is a bulky and costly volume.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • Ten Trips Around Sherburn
    Introduction There are walking guides and there are cycling guides. For the pilot, flying guides are usually limited to a host of airfield information and frequencies. This guide is meant to be something a little different; a guide to what there is to see while you are out and about. I suspect the most common flight by recreational pilots is the classic one hour bimble. But finding things of interest to oneself, friends, and family within an hour or so flying time gradually becomes more difficult. I have always enjoyed making local trips as, from the air, there is something quite different to be seen in the landscape, geography and history of an area. I have, like all pilots do, developed a number of favourite routes for either flying friends or for just pottering about to see what is happening. The idea for the guide came about from conversations with flyers who have an aeroplane booked, perfect weather, and no particular place to go. What was needed were suggestions for trips and things to look for on the way. Things that were obvious, things that needed explaining, and some frankly tricky teasers. From this came the idea for a guide based on some of my favourite trips from Sherburn in Elmet airfield in Yorkshire. For each trip, the simple sketch map shows what there is to see and the text describes some interesting things about the trip. Rather than random flights these flights generally have loose themes. Some of the flights will be well known to pilots based at Sherburn but I hope some will, at least, have new things to offer.
