  • DEATH on the HOME FRONT Pam Brooke
    DEATH ON THE HOME FRONT Pam Brooke Much has been written about the Military Service Act and the operation of Tribunals however this has mostly focused on the outcome for conscientious objectors and little has been written about those who sought exemption on other grounds.1 One particularly tragic case from the Colne Valley illustrates the wide repercussions that the refusal of one man’s application for exemption had on both his family and the wider community. On Wednesday 28 November 1916, at Slaithwaite Town Hall, 62-year-old James Shaw, blacksmith and hill farmer appeared before the local Tribunal to request an extension to his son’s Exemption Certificate. Charles, aged 28, he said, was his only son and worked with him in the blacksmith shop and on the farm. Depicting himself to be ‘a poor talker’ James presented his case in a written statement which the military representative described as ‘resembling a sermon’. In response James explained that he was a regular worshipper at Pole Moor Baptist Chapel, Scammonden.2 New Gate Farm cottage as seen today. Photo by the author. 1 Cyril Pearce, Comrades in Conscience: The story of an English community’s opposition to the Great War, 2nd Edition (Francis Boutle, London: 2014), p. 134 2 Colne Valley Guardian [hereafter CVG], 1 December 1916 1 The statement gave a detailed account of the circumstances justifying exemption: his son began to milk aged nine and farmed their 14 acres of land for 23 head of cattle – including a dairy, together with six more acres under the plough for food production.

  • MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND a Tourist’S Guide to Interesting Archaeological Sites in West Yorkshire
    Registry of Deeds Newstead Road Wakefield, WF1 2DE 01924 306797 [email protected] MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND A tourist’s guide to interesting archaeological sites in West Yorkshire [Meg Dyke seen from the air. The upstanding embankments can clearly be seen forming an L shape in the centre of the image. Photograph courtesy of English Heritage.] The earthworks Meg Dyke is a prehistoric settlement enclosed by a double bank with an intervening ditch. Although the site has been damaged in places by 19th century quarrying and by the construction of Scammonden Road, Meg Dyke still remains a substantial earthwork. In places the inner bank is 6.0m wide and the outer one is about 4.0m wide. Both still stand to a height of 1.0m. The ditch between the two embankments is up to 4.0m wide and 1.0m deep. A substantial part of the central area of the enclosure has been damaged by quarrying and it is therefore impossible to determine if there were any internal features Dating evidence There is no firm dating evidence for this earthwork. An excavation across the bank and ditch in 1976 only produced undiagnostic fragments of iron. It has however been tentatively assigned to the Iron Age on typological grounds. 1 This guide was written by Dave Weldrake (© WYAAS 2010) More information on Iron Age Research Agenda the WYAAS website External links Pastscape features detailed information on the site from English Heritage. Old photographs and an early description of the site can be found in Early Man in the District of Huddersfield Location Meg Dyke is cut by Scammonden Road at approximately SE 0498 1745.

  • The Records of the Manor of Wakefield: a Unesco
    When quoting from this resource, please acknowledge the author and YAHS. THE RECORDS OF THE MANOR OF WAKEFIELD: A UNESCO-RECOGNISED RESOURCE Brian Barber This introduces the records of the manor of Wakefield and describes the role which the Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society has played in their survival and interpretation. Since 1943, the Wakefield court rolls and related records in Wakefield manorial archives have come into the ownership of YAHS. In 2015, the society transferred them to the safekeeping of the Special Collections department of the University of Leeds Brotherton Library, where (subject to the physical condition of individual items) they remain available to all. The greater part of the court rolls, the rolled parchment (and, from the mid-eighteenth century, paper) files of its court proceedings – known as ‘court rolls’ – are of major historical significance. Their national importance to the history of Great Britain was recognised in 2011 when they were entered on the UK National Register of the Memory of the World by the UK National Commission of UNESCO. A catalogue of the Wakefield manorial archives, and information about how to access them, can be found at: https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections- explore?archiveRefCode=%22YAS%2FMD225%22 For more than a century, the society has been working to promote the study of the rolls and to uncover their contents. Up to the present (December 2017), the outcome has been the publication of twenty-five volumes of records relating to the manor, containing the text of dozens of court rolls. Most of the volumes are still in print and available for purchase, or are available via the YAHS website (see below).

  • Hatters Mirror Check
    HATTERS MIRROR CHECK Sunday 25th October 2015 Ride out Saddleworth Circular Today’s ride out is the last one on the 2015 ride out calendar and fortunately the weather forecast was good for what promised to be a cracking group ride to wind up the year. Thirteen enthusiastic riders assembled at Decathlon Car Park at the slightly earlier time of 0945 hours on account of the shortening daylight hours, especially with the clocks being put back one hour last night to GMT. John from Hull was to be at the head of the pack again today so at around 1015 hours the group was on the road to the first stop off at McDonald’s in Hattersley where one more rider was waiting to join us. John gave his pre-ride briefing here outlining the day’s route and the all-important safety information. Then it was onto the A628 to Mottram and left up the A6018 to Stalybridge before hanging a right onto the A635 Wakefield Road, through Greenfield then left towards Meltham. In Meltham we took the B6107 to our lunch stop at the New Inn in Marsden. After parking up the bikes we stepped inside the hostelry and were welcomed by the landlord who had set aside sufficient seating tables to accommodate us all. Coffee was quickly made available on the bar and food orders were placed with hot beef baps coming out as the favoured choice of the day. Arriving at the New Inn There was time to relax and enjoy lunch here before reassembling with the bikes for the second part and return leg of the trip.
