Priority Issue: Youths causing annoyance around the areas of the Church and playing fields in Gilberdyke. Throughout May, officers will continue to patrol the above areas on Clementhorpe Road to deter any potential anti-social behaviour. Anyone caught engaging in anti-social behaviour will be dealt with under the FAIRWAY process jointly with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It is unlikely that any discretion will be shown. 2. Meetings Police Drop In Surgery PCSO Simon Palmer will be holding a surgery at the Travelling Library, Gilberdyke Memorial Hall car park, Clementhorpe Road, Gilberdyke on the 24th May (11:00- 12:00 hrs) 3. Examples of Crimes in your area. • A cycle was stolen from a secure garage in North Cave. • A van was stolen in Newport. • Fence panels of a property in Holme Upon Spalding Moor have been damaged. • A shop in Holme Upon Spalding Moor was broken into. • The glass from a wing mirror of a car parked in North Cave was stolen. • A secure container belonging to a business in Holme Upon Spalding Moor was broken into. • Access was gained into a car in North Cave and cash stolen. 4. News and Appeals Going on your holidays? Remember home security Imagine that you have returned home after a fantastic holiday to discover your home has been burgled…it is not something the police want anyone to go through. Just because you are on holiday does not mean burglars are taking time off too and if it looks like you are away then your home could become a target. We are urging everyone to check their holiday security before they go away and ensure their holiday is one to remember for the right reasons. Follow our simple tips to secure your home against burglars: • Make sure your windows and doors are locked. If you have a burglar alarm turn it on and leave the key or passcode with a family member or trusted neighbour. NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Parish/Town News Release NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED • Remove and secure items that may be used to break in or climb into your home and lock your outbuilding so burglars can’t use the tools inside. • Use automatic timer-switches to turn on a light and perhaps a radio when it gets dark. • Ask a trusted neighbour or family member to come round and open and close curtains, plus move the post, so it looks like people are coming and going at your home. • Cancel any newspaper or milk deliveries. • Don't advertise that you are away. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter can be a risk if people know you are away and your home is empty. • Work with your neighbours to keep an eye on each other's homes. Neighbourhood Watch and Neighbourhood Networks encourage this type of community spirit and long term it may be worth joining one or setting one up in your street. For details visit: www.ourwatch.org.uk or contact your local policing team. • Never leave keys anywhere near the front door; burglars know where to look. Consider fitting a letterbox cage or other restrictor to prevent burglars from putting their hands or gadgets through and opening the latches from the inside. The public should call the police if they see people acting suspiciously in their community, if there is a burglary in progress or if they have details about those involved in criminality. This can be done using 999 in an emergency, 101 in a non- emergency or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Scheme: Laxton – Cotness Corner 11KV Overhead Line Rebuild Ref YC18596 Location – Chapel Lane, Laxton, Goole, East Yorkshire, DN14 7UA. Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) is proposing to rebuild the existing overhead 11,000 volt overhead lines at the above location. The overhead lines will be rebuilt outside the 30 metres tolerance allowed in the Electricity Act 1989, Overhead Lines (Exemption)(England and Wales) Regulations 2009. There will be three conductors (wires) supported on steel crossarms mounted on wooden poles. The three conductors will be of aluminium alloy construction and the proposed line will be constructed to the ESI 43:40 standards. The project involves rebuilding the existing 11,000 volt overhead network that is some 50 years old. This rebuilding exercise is intended to ensure Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) continues to meet its customers’ requirements for the foreseeable future. The overhead line is being rebuilt along a new route due to a number of incidents involving motor vehicles colliding with an existing wood pole situated adjacent to the road at Cotness Corner. This has caused injury to the driver and passengers as well as loss of supply to the electricity network on each occasion. The length of the new overhead line shown red on plan C1066267 is 1130 metres. The length of the overhead line to be removed is 1080 metres and is shown coloured blue. Humber Sites and Monuments Record have been consulted. They have requested a programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording be carried during the proposed work. Humber Archaeology Partnership has been contacted and they will carry out this work.

The Anglo-Saxon settlement was situated on a belt of windblown sand, overlooking the floodplain of the River Trent, eight kilometres south of the Humber estuary. Analysis has demonstrated that the excavated CHANGE part of the settlement was occupied, or used for settlement-related activity, throughout what have been termed the ‘Mid’ and ‘Late’ Anglo-Saxon periods. In an unprecedented occupation sequence from an , LIFESTYLES AND SOCIAL CHANGE Anglo-Saxon rural settlement, six main periods of occupation have been identified, with additional sub- phases, dating from the seventh to the early eleventh centuries; with a further period of activity, between IN THE LATER FIRST MILLENNIUM AD the twelfth and fifteenth centuries AD.

  • 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.

    ADDRESS . I N submitting to their subscribers this edition of the History, Topography , and Directory of East Yorkshire, the Proprietors trust that the arrang . Thement and treatment of the matter will meet with general approval e compilation of such a work necessarily occupies a considerable length of time, during which many changes take place, but the Editors have endeavoured to kee p themselves au fait with what was passing, and to secure the latest and most accurate information, each town and parish was personally re-visited and revised whilst the sheets were in the press . In the arrangement the New Parliamentary Divisions have been adopted , instead of the old and nearly obsolete Wapentakes ; and the parishes in each follow in alphabetical order . A copious index will still further facilitate reference . Of the plan and scope of the work little need be said . The East Riding is first viewed as a whole, and a resume of its history is given. This is followed b y a sketch of its physical features, soil and agriculture ; and its judicial an d ecclesiastical polity and divisions. Each parish is next passed in review, an d whatever there may be of interest attaching to it is related. The desire of the Proprietors has been to produce a thoroughly reliable and trustworthy book of reference, and they can assure their patrons that no effort s have been spared on their part to secure this important and essential feature . A few errors may possibly have escaped detection, but the Editors are confident that in completeness and accuracy this History and Directory of East Yorkshir e will compare favourably with any hitherto published.

  • East Yorkshire), 1281–1781*
    Turf wars: conflict and cooperation in the management of Wallingfen (East Yorkshire), 1281–1781* turf wars by David Crouch and Briony McDonagh Abstract This paper explores the origins and management of Wallingfen, a large tract of waterlogged marshes and carrs near Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Subject to annual flooding throughout much of its history, the area was utilized by the surrounding parishes and townships throughout the medieval and early modern period, providing a range of important resources to the neighbouring communities including fish, fowl, turves and summer grazing. In this it had much in common with wetland commons elsewhere in England and on the Continent. Yet while the East Anglian fens and the Lancashire mosses were being drained and enclosed in the seventeenth century – as too were the wetlands around the southern shore of the North Sea basin in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands – Wallingfen remained wet, marshy and entirely unsuitable for arable agriculture long into the eighteenth century. In other ways too, Wallingfen was highly unusual. Not only was a true form of intercommoning practised here until parliamentary enclosure under an act of 1777, but there is also evidence of a cooperative system of wetland management which fell outside the direct authority of the neighbouring manors or any higher form of overlordship. Marginal, watery landscapes have long been areas of fascination for historical geographers, archaeologists, economic historians and landscape scholars alike. The labour put into mediating the relationship between land and water over many hundreds of years – and more specifically the distinctive landscapes produced by this wresting of productive arable land from the marsh and fen – have been subjects of continued interest from the time of H.
