  • Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)
    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.

    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E4 The Rectory of Arncliffe, Yorkshire, 14 th -20 th centuries Arncliffe is a village in North Yorkshire, situated about fifteen miles north of Skipton, in the remote area of Littondale. The ecclesiastical parish of Arncliffe comprised several villages in Littondale in addition to Arncliffe itself, namely Halton Gill, Hawkswick, Litton as well as some others in neighbouring Wharfedale, namely Buckden, Hubberholme and Yockenthwaite. High hills separate the two dales, and access was not always easy in winter. In addition to the main church at Arncliffe, there were also chapels at Halton Gill and Hubberholme, although the former was of little consequence before a major rebuilding in 1848. The advowson of Arncliffe was in the gift of the Percy family, the Earls of Northumberland, until Henry Percy, second Earl of Northumberland (1394–1455), gave it to University College in 1443. He also arranged for the appropriation of the rectory (and with it the right to collect the rector’s tithes) to pass to University College, in return for their appointing a vicar to the parish. The reason for Percy’s generosity is not known: Antony Wood suggested that the university had suggested he benefit a College which, as well as being the oldest in Oxford, also had strong north-eastern links (see W. Carr, University College , p. 62), but that may be mere guesswork. Percy certainly expected the north-east to benefit from his gift: as set out in UC:E4/2D/1 below, the money from the tithes was to finance three Bachelors or Masters planning to read theology from the dioceses of Durham, Carlisle or York, with special preference to be given to candidates from Northumberland.

    16 WITHIN LIVING MEMORY Work was hard and physical with long hours… Do you remember a time before television: when radio was called wireless; when there were outside toilets; when a bath was a weekly event; when wash- day was always a Monday; rabbit was a staple food and chicken a luxury for special occasions? Can you milk a cow by hand or shear a sheep with hand clippers? Do you remember haymaking with horse and cart? Only 50 years ago these were all commonplace in the Dales. Many of us have fond mem- ories of these times, but they were not a golden age. Work was hard and physical with long hours and living standards for the vast majority were low. Accounts of these ‘times past’ make fascinating reading for us today and we are grateful to those who have shared their memories of the village and the people who lived and worked here. Our most senior resident Mrs Gertrude Forster—better known as Gertie—was born on 17 April 1906 at Hillampton Lodge, Great Whitley, Worcestershire, where her father was a coachman. Gertie came to Stainforth in 1923 when she was 17 years old to work for Miss Theodora Fowle of Taitlands. She was one of five servants employed there and recalls that church attendance was compulsory whilst she was in service. At 19, Gertie married Joseph Forster, who was born in 1902 at a house by Stainforth Green owned by his grandmother, Mrs Elizabeth Greenbank. Later, he lived at the Craven Heifer public house with his parents, Alice and Charles Forster, at the time when his grandfather, Joseph Forster, was the innkeeper and blacksmith.
