A Newsletter for Wolds Valley Residents ISSUE 59 ● JUNE 2010 Final copy date 18th June for the July A View from Ryedale House issue to:- Trevor Thomson The dust has begun to settle on what has turned out to be an historic election but, here Gypsey Cottage, Main Road, in the Thirsk and Malton constituency, we find ourselves in a peculiar position as we Weaverthorpe, YO17 8EY prepare to vote with the national outcome already known. On a personal level, my Telephone: 01944 738804 campaign in Darlington resulted in second place but, in the process, we managed to Email: [email protected] reduce the majority by over 7,000 on the back of a 9.1% swing (twice the national average) so much to be pleased about. (DISCLAIMER: Any correspondence/ articles printed in the Warbler are entirely As to Council business, by the time you read this, we will have taken what I hope are the the responsibility of the contributor) final decisions for Ryedale’s planning strategy for years to come. This has been painstakingly slow work and I hope that this new Coalition Government allows us (i.e. locally accountable politicians) greater freedom of action in future. One of the most difficult (planning) challenges that we face is the provision of a sufficient quantity of affordable housing for local people. Finally, it is my intention to hold a series of ‘ward surgeries’ over the coming months. These are designed for individuals to see me face to face; voice their concerns and, provided they are matters which fall within the District Council’s remit, enable me to take the necessary action. The first ‘surgery’ will take place at Weaverthorpe Village Hall on Tuesday 15th June between 6.00 and 7.00 pm. Meanwhile, if you have any thoughts/views on the above or indeed anything else which falls within the District Council’s responsibility please feel free to e-mail me on [email protected] Lyke Wake Walkers hoping to raise donations Jack Fletcher, James Oliver, Vicki Rowland, Michael Rowland, Sue Thomson and Sarah Wilkinson will be attempting the Lyke Wake Walk in June. “Although a personal challenge for us all, we would also like to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, in remembrance and celebration of the life of Jeff Oliver, father to Vicki & James. Jeff passed away in October 2009 after a bravely fought 18 month battle against cancer”. During this time the family received much appreciated support from the Macmillan Nurses in North Yorkshire. The Lyke Wake Walk is a complete (40 mile) crossing of the North Yorkshire Moors from Osmotherly to Ravenscar. Bill Cowley created the walk in 1955 and issued a challenge to walkers to cross the moors on foot from East to West within 24 hours. The walk's name originates from the Lyke Wake Dirge, probably Yorkshire's oldest dialect verse - which takes its name from watching (wake) over the corpse (lyke). The song tells of the soul's passage through the afterlife. The team are setting up a website with JustGiving. If you wish to make a donation, send an email to [email protected] and we will send you details when the site is ready to go. For those of you without computer access, Sponsor Forms are available.

Further work of compilation, analysis, comparison and contrast with other areas is needed to supplement this narra­ tive and to interpret the material in a wider context. This interim cameo can serve as a contribution to the larger picture. QUAKERS IN THIRSK MONTHLY MEETING 1650-75 The present study investigates the area around Thirsk in Yorkshire and finds evidence that gives a slightly different emphasis from that of Davies. Membership of the local community is apparent, but, because the evidence comes from the account of the sufferings of Friends following their persecution John Woods for holding meetings for worship in their own homes, when forbidden to meet in towns, it shows that the sustained attempt in this area during the decade to prevent worship outside the Established Church did not prevent the Malton,North Yorkshire,England 1660-70 holding of Quaker Meetings for worship in the area.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013

    Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013

    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away.

    Documentary Records of Floods in the Vale of Pickering

    Documentary records of floods in the Vale of Pickering These records are taken from the British Hydrological Society Chronology of Hydrological Events. As they are documentary records, their content is partly a function of the recording of events coupled to the extent to which documents have been found. However, they show a notable phenomenon, often found in other flood records, of a flood rich period in the late-nineteenth century followed by a flood poor period in the early 20 th century.
