Built for the village school headmaster John Holdsworth towards the end of the Arts & Crafts Period in 1906 and only sold four times since, Madge Bank has been fastidiously maintained and updated by its present owners. Smartly equipped and beautifully decorated throughout, this is a unique and special village home with spectacular long-range views over the valley. Situated approximately three miles south of Skipton, Cononley is a popular village on the banks of the River Aire, surrounded by beautiful open countryside. The village offers a good range of everyday amenities including a general store and post office, primary school, park, sporting facilities and two public houses. The village has its own train station with regular services to Leeds, Bradford and Skipton, making it an ideal base for commuters. The current vendors of Madge Bank have fastidiously maintained their home for the last 30+ years and have been at pains to ensure that its inherent Edwardian character has been preserved and enhanced. The original doors have been restored and now have elegant glass handles, the deep ceiling covings have been maintained, and the charming original verandah still provides a lovely seating area which overlooks the village and provides a bird's eye view for village sporting events!

(b) No questions arising from public participation: The member of public who had made the footpath diversion application No 05.13/25 Main Street, Cononley, BD20 8NR spoke about the application. The gentleman has health issues and feels the proposed diversion will allow him to get medical assistance quicker if required. The diversion would mean the original route would be permanently closed. The applicant feels the proposed route is safer and he stated that it is being used more than the exiting waymarked path. The applicant concluded by asking for support from the Parish Council. The chair thanked the gentleman and assured him the matter would be discussed further under Agenda item 9 (c). (c) Craven District Councillors or North Yorkshire Councillors present. Cllr Brown stated that the local elections for 2020 had been cancelled due to COVID-19.

  • An Annotated List of Documents Relating to Cononley, Cowling and District
    Revision 3** An annotated list of documents relating to Cononley, Cowling and district Currently in the care of the Cononley Local History Association Contents A Parish of Kildwick and its townships. B The Bradley & Wainman families. C The Tillotson family. D Christopher Horrocks. E Miscellaneous Executor’s Papers, Accounts and Bonds. F Documents relating to the Lund family. G Cononley Co-operative Society: an archive of business records 1869-1875. H Miscellaneous 20th century ephemera (to be completed). J Notes on associated items in other private collections. Notes Items in sections A-E have been acquired by purchase and gift and originate in from the Estate Papers of the Wainman family of Carr Head and represent a small proportion of the original archive once held by their solicitors, Chambers of Brighouse. William Wainman (1741-1818) was a member of the Bar, though he did not practice. [See Yorkshire Notes and Queries. Vol II. 1906. p19]. The executor’s and other papers in section’s D & E of the collection suggest he may have often acted on behalf of friends, business associates and tenants. His unmistakable (and almost unreadable) handwriting is to be found on many items in the archive. Letters and figures in brackets e.g.{G9} after some documents are references, usually marked on them, which date back at least to the examination and transcribing of those documents by W.A. Brigg in 1927 and which probably owe their origin to his indexing of them. Brigg’s indexes and transcriptions are now preserved at Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley [Cowling Box 38].

  • Scrutiny Inquiry Report
    Scrutiny Inquiry Report Review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Yorkshire and the Humber) October 2011 Inquiry into the Review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services Published: October 2011 Foreword I am pleased to present the report of the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Yorkshire and the Humber), following its inquiry into the review of Children’s Congenital Cardiac Services in England and the associated proposals. I believe this report and its recommendations send a clear and powerful message to both the national review team and the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts (JCPCT) – as the decision-making body. That message is that children and families across Yorkshire and the Humber will be disproportionately disadvantaged if the current surgical centre in Leeds is not retained in any future service model. It is worth emphasising that over 600,000 people across Yorkshire and the Humber signed a petition – the largest petition of its kind in the United Kingdom – supporting the retention of the current surgical centre at Leeds Children’s Hospital. I and other members of the joint committee firmly believe that the level of support for the petition demonstrates the strength and depth of feeling across the region and that this public voice needs to be listened to. However, while focusing on the needs of children and families across Yorkshire and the Humber and the retention of services in our region, the joint committee has been aware of the potential negative impacts of alternative proposals in other parts of the country. As such, and as detailed in the report, we have been mindful not to simply attempt to passport to other parts of the country the disproportionate disadvantages we have identified in three of the four service models presented for public consultation.

  • Public Accountability Meeting
    Public Accountability Meeting Public Questions – Local Priorities (27 February 2018) Questions asked by the public about policing matters in their local area have been answered by Julia Mulligan, your elected Police and Crime Commissioner. Questions and answers are grouped by area as per the meeting. We have grouped similar issues within those sections so that you can see what others are asking and how we have responded to them, and then alphabetically by surname. County Command (Harrogate, Craven, Richmondshire and Hambleton) Concern: Low level crime and anti-social behaviour Question from Richard Christian, BluSkills Ltd “Do you feel that the community’s concerns regarding anti-social behaviour are as a result of a draw down in Police and PCSO presence on the street, with Police moving to vehicle bourne reactive tactics instead of community policing and foot/bike patrols? Do you see this as an issue and are you looking to address it? “I see many early teen aged groups loitering in kids play areas and on the streets. Most of these areas are poorly lit and offer cover for smoking of recreational drugs and alcohol. How are you working with local authorities as part of a prevent strategy to create dedicated spaces and activities for the younger generations to enjoy positively rather than turning to anti-social behaviour and is there a desire to light areas which currently offer a safe haven for drug taking.” Answer: A central part of my role as Commissioner is to be the voice of the public, and I have made it clear through the ‘Reinforcing Local Policing’ priority in the Police and Crime Plan that local policing remains important to the public.

  • A Family at War Introduction William Whitaker, the Older Brother
    The Whitakers – A Family at War Introduction The Farnhill WW1 Volunteers project restricted itself to those men – service men and volunteers – who were named on the list compiled for Farnhill Parish Council early in 1916. It was always likely that we would find that some names had been missed off this list and the project had not been going long before people started to mention the name Thomas Fielding Whitaker. Now that the project has completed the bulk of its work, it has been possible to research TF Whitaker and, in doing so, we have found that there were three men from the family, all of whom were involved in the war, one way or another. We present this information here not because we believe the Whitaker family were exceptional; rather the contrary – they may have been typical of many of the families in the village whose lives were impacted, in different and unpredictable ways, by the war. William Whitaker, the older brother – a “guest” of the German Navy William Whitaker was the oldest child of Jonas and Ann Whitaker (nee Fielding). He was born in Glusburn, in 1886. Towards the end of 1909, he married Elsie Lavinia Jennings, the daughter of a greengrocer from Middlesbrough. The 1911 census shows the couple living in Colne but sometime between then and the start of the war they must have moved to Farnhill – to 11 The Arbour. Although William started his working life in a worsted mill, it was not long before he joined his father working for the Midland Railway Company.
