  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

  • East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes WASSAND HALL Report by David and Susan Neave April 2013 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Wassand Hall 1.2 Grid reference: TA 173461 1.3 Administrative area: Seaton Civil Parish, East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not registered 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Modest Georgian landscaped park incorporating a large picturesque natural lake, Hornsea Mere. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE 3.1 Estate owners The manor of Wassand was purchased by Joan widow of Sir William Constable of Caythorpe and her son Marmaduke in 1529, and thereafter it descended in the Constable, later Strickland-Constable, family. Following the death of Lady (Ernestine) Strickland-Constable, widow of Sir Henry Marmaduke Strickland- Constable, in 1995 the estate was left to trustees including her great-nephew, Rupert Russell. (Kent, VCH Yorks ER VII, 367) The owners chiefly responsible for the landscaping were: Marmaduke Constable, owner 1731-62 Revd Charles Constable, owner 1812-52 3.2 Early history of the site The Constables built a manor house at Wassand in the early 17th century. A small park was created south of the manor house by enclosing former open-field land. (Kent, VCH Yorks ER VII, 367-8) The extent of this early park can be seen on a 1 plan of 1809, a few years before Wassand Hall was built and the old manor house pulled down (see plan, below). Popham suggests that a certain amount of planting must have taken placed by c. 1700. (Popham, ‘Wassand Estate’, v.

    Boroughbridge Striders Walking Group Summary Schedule of Walks for 2019 (See below for details of walks) June 1 – Rural Round Walk July 6 – Ripon Round Walk August 17 – South Ripon Rowel 16 Walk September 21 – River Round Walk (2) October 26 – Round of Copgrove Winter 2019/20 - a possible walk for a Saturday during the winter months is the Easingwold/Crayke 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boroughbridge Striders Who are Boroughbridge Striders? Boroughbridge Striders is a new (May 2019), experimental, informal walking group that focuses on walks in the 12-20 miles range, mainly in the local area When/how did it start? It was by started by John Helliwell shortly after the Boroughbridge Easter Walking Festival of 2019. 8 people, having completed the 17 mile “River Round” walk in just over 6 hours indicated that similar walks might be attractive and desirable in the future, based on a perceived interest in “longer walks”. What are the features of Boroughbridge Striders, apart from the length of the walks? • It’s for fit, experienced, adult walkers, not for beginners or children • The pace might be described as “brisk”; there are few, if any, stops, apart from a brief break for lunch (packed) • Pubs and café stops are not on the menu; neither are talks en route connected with points of human and geographical interest and local history • As far as possible, the walks take place in the Boroughbridge/Lower Ure Valley area with minimal dependence on motor vehicles and the need travel by car to distant start points. We start and finish at the same point Is there an underlying philosophy? Not really; but maintaining personal fitness through walking is at the heart of what Boroughbridge Striders is about.
