    Rudston RUDSTON COMMUNITY Newsletter Also available, in full colour, on line at :- February www.rudston.org.uk/newsletter 2020 This month’s Newsletter is kindly sponsored by: Hall Bros Fuels & Heating 1 Editor’s Letter Dear Everyone, May I offer a belated Happy and Healthy New Year to all the resi- dents of Rudston. We are having problems with the printer again, so apologies for the fact that this edition will probably be late. Welcome to anyone who has recently come to live in our lovely village. For those who are keen to be involved in village activities, there is a list of people, whom you can contact on the back page. Thank you to all those people who have sent good wishes on my recovery following a broken ankle. It is a long process, but things are improving. They say that misfortunes come in threes; well I can cer- tainly attest to that. When we returned from a wonderful cruise at the end of October, we realised that I had left my IPad in the cabin. I thought that I wouldn’t see it again, but I am informed that it will be re- turned to me in March...it is at present enjoying its own cruise around the Caribbean. Then followed the afore mentioned break and when I returned from hospital, what should I find in the post, but a speeding fine. ..in over 50 years of driving, I have never so much as incurred a parking fine! Hopefully that is the end of my misfortunes for the time being anyway! It was a shame that the Village Hall Party had to be cancelled, but it did seem that lots of people had previous engagements.

  • Who Were the Women Buried in Early Anglo- Saxon Cemeteries?
    Who Were the Women Buried in Early Anglo- Saxon Cemeteries? Robin Fleming Delbert McQuaide Distinguished Lecture in History, March 22, 2016 Robin Fleming is professor of history at Boston College and a 2013 MacArthur Fellow. n Britain in the generation on either side of 400 CE, all urban life, all industrial-scale manufacturing of I basic goods, the money economy, and the state disappeared; and in its eastern half Latin-speaking, villa-owning Romano-British elites, literacy, Latinity, and Christianity were vanishing as well.1 One of the consequences of this particular constellation of events is that no contemporary texts from fifth- and sixth-century lowland Britain survive, which narrate “what happened” in these years. What we do have are contemporary texts that were written elsewhere in the Late Antique world (and which do not, in my opinion, shed much light on what was happening in Britain); and we have a series of texts that were written in what is now England, most of them only in the later seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries. A detailed, blow-by-blow account of the fifth and sixth centuries, for example, does survive in a compilation known as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (see Figure 1). The annals in Figure 1 are typical and describe, as so many entries in the Chronicle do, the activities of marauding kings and their manly followers. Although historians these days often approach the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle like a dirty bomb they have been asked to defuse, even the most skeptical of readers have been affected by the content and tenor of this and other of our retrospective written sources, in particular by the fact that for all intents and purposes the only historical actors in them are men, and “Anglo-Saxon” men at that.

  • Considering the Significance of the Yorkshire Wolds Landscape
    The Post Hole Issue 33 Considering the significance of the Yorkshire Wolds landscape Dr Cath Neal1 1Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York, YO1 7EP Email: [email protected] The chalk Wolds of East and North Yorkshire comprise a lightly settled rural landscape dominated by agricultural activity and they are the northernmost expanse of English chalk, forming an arc between the Humber Estuary and Flamborough Head (Figure 1). The Wolds rise steeply from the Vales to the north and west, and more gradually from the plain to the east, to a maximum height of 200m above ordnance datum, covering an area of 1350km². The area is characterised by deeply incised dry valleys and low rolling hills (Figure 2). There is a general absence of surface watercourses on the Yorkshire Wolds, with the Gypsey Race the single exception, and even this is seasonal in places. There are geological contrasts in this region, with the soft drift of Holderness, the chalk Wold ridge and the sandstones of the North Yorkshire Moors compressing a wide range of landscape diversity into a relatively small area (Roberts and Wrathmell 2000, 47). Figure 1. Distribution of chalk in England (after Stoertz 1997 ). The distinctive inverted ‘L- shape’ of the Yorkshire Wolds, results largely from the folding of the chalk that took place during the Tertiary period, and this resulted in the shallow syncline that forms the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire Wolds (Catt 1987, 13). Towards Holderness in the east, the chalk dips below substantial www.theposthole.org 13 The Post Hole Issue 33 Quaternary deposits and towards the west.
