    The -Blacksmith's Craft By RAYMOND J. SKINNER On a chill winter's day .the blacksmith's forge, with its roaring fire, would always have been an attractive place in which to Genealogists' stop for a chat and to hear the latest items of . village news and gossip. The smithy was a meeting place as much frequented as the inn or the church and a centre of communication for the local inhabitants. Magazine The smith himself was also once looked upon as the community's adviser, sometimes even its oracle; and such traditional respect accorded to the craftsman in iron was heightened by a certain awe of the mighty man who could shape the highly-resistant substance of iron into decorative, as well as highly practical, objects. More than just" a farrier, the blacksmith was, once upon a time, an essential figure in a community which depended on the horse for transport as well as to provide the motive power for farming. 440 JUNE 1990 Some Observations on the Ancestry and Connections of Thomas Hardy Rupert Willoughby Nelson's Memorial Rings George A.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

  • Rainton Parish Plan 2016
    Published by the Rainton Parish Plan Steering Committee Members: Chris Andrews, Kim Pallott, Sally Schofield, David Cornmell, Nathan Schofield, Mike Pallott, Oliver Jones, Malcolm Harwood. 2 Rainton Parish Plan 2016. The Parish of Rainton first published a plan in August 2003. It was reviewed in October 2008. The contents of this plan are formed around the Village survey carried out in February 2016. Detailed summaries with findings are to be found further on in this plan. The last five years have been relatively quiet in Rainton. The A1M motorway construction, the addition of a permanent bridge over that road, the opening of an enlarged recreation field all have been completed. However Rainton is not without its issues. The major preoccupation of its parishioners, in 2013 and 2008 was and still is, unchecked housing development. There is a strong desire amongst the population of Rainton for the village to retain its village attributes. As can be seen from the detailed results there is still a major problem with on road car parking at night. This has and will continue to present a challenge for everybody. 3 Utility services continue to be poor in Rainton. Foul water (Sewerage) disposal is well below what one would expect for the 21st century. The capacity of telephone landlines is at saturation. There has however been an improvement in High Speed Broadband to most, but not all, of the village. Currently we have no threats from major energy developers such as wind power and hydraulic “fracking”. We are not immune however as a major energy recovery plant is being built at Allerton that will burn household rubbish, which cannot be recovered/recycled and which would otherwise go to landfill.
