    Rudston RUDSTON COMMUNITY Newsletter Also available, in full colour, on line at :- February www.rudston.org.uk/newsletter 2020 This month’s Newsletter is kindly sponsored by: Hall Bros Fuels & Heating 1 Editor’s Letter Dear Everyone, May I offer a belated Happy and Healthy New Year to all the resi- dents of Rudston. We are having problems with the printer again, so apologies for the fact that this edition will probably be late. Welcome to anyone who has recently come to live in our lovely village. For those who are keen to be involved in village activities, there is a list of people, whom you can contact on the back page. Thank you to all those people who have sent good wishes on my recovery following a broken ankle. It is a long process, but things are improving. They say that misfortunes come in threes; well I can cer- tainly attest to that. When we returned from a wonderful cruise at the end of October, we realised that I had left my IPad in the cabin. I thought that I wouldn’t see it again, but I am informed that it will be re- turned to me in March...it is at present enjoying its own cruise around the Caribbean. Then followed the afore mentioned break and when I returned from hospital, what should I find in the post, but a speeding fine. ..in over 50 years of driving, I have never so much as incurred a parking fine! Hopefully that is the end of my misfortunes for the time being anyway! It was a shame that the Village Hall Party had to be cancelled, but it did seem that lots of people had previous engagements.

  • Considering the Significance of the Yorkshire Wolds Landscape
    The Post Hole Issue 33 Considering the significance of the Yorkshire Wolds landscape Dr Cath Neal1 1Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York, YO1 7EP Email: [email protected] The chalk Wolds of East and North Yorkshire comprise a lightly settled rural landscape dominated by agricultural activity and they are the northernmost expanse of English chalk, forming an arc between the Humber Estuary and Flamborough Head (Figure 1). The Wolds rise steeply from the Vales to the north and west, and more gradually from the plain to the east, to a maximum height of 200m above ordnance datum, covering an area of 1350km². The area is characterised by deeply incised dry valleys and low rolling hills (Figure 2). There is a general absence of surface watercourses on the Yorkshire Wolds, with the Gypsey Race the single exception, and even this is seasonal in places. There are geological contrasts in this region, with the soft drift of Holderness, the chalk Wold ridge and the sandstones of the North Yorkshire Moors compressing a wide range of landscape diversity into a relatively small area (Roberts and Wrathmell 2000, 47). Figure 1. Distribution of chalk in England (after Stoertz 1997 ). The distinctive inverted ‘L- shape’ of the Yorkshire Wolds, results largely from the folding of the chalk that took place during the Tertiary period, and this resulted in the shallow syncline that forms the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire Wolds (Catt 1987, 13). Towards Holderness in the east, the chalk dips below substantial www.theposthole.org 13 The Post Hole Issue 33 Quaternary deposits and towards the west.

  • A Brief History of All Saints' Church, Brantingham
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH, BRANTINGHAM This history was originally compiled by Mr David Brachi c. 1965 and revised by Dr David Bagchi in 2014, with additions by the Revd Mick Fryer, Mrs Linda Salmon and Mr Alan Berriman. THE VILLAGE AND PARISH Brantingham (originally ‘Bretinha’) lies on the western edge of the southern Yorkshire Wolds, in a sheltered spot where natural springs provide a supply of fresh, clean water. It is an obvious place for a village to grow up, though the Anglo-Saxon suffix ‘- ingham’ suggests that it was settled only during the Saxon colonisation of England after the departure of the Romans, who left evidence of their habitation nearby. The neighbouring community of Brantingham Thorpe would have been settled later, during the period of Scandinavian colonisation, the word ‘thorpe’ deriving from the Danish ‘trup’ (‘village’), which was often used to identify a new settlement related to an existing one: the form ‘Thorpe *of+ Brantingham’, found in some older sources, illustrates this well. Brantingham is therefore one of a string of Saxon settlements established round the edge of the Wolds, extending from Welton and Elloughton (which also had a ‘thorpe’ associated with it) in the south, to Sancton (where there was a Saxon cemetery) and Market Weighton, and northwards. The Durham connection There is no record of the coming of Christianity to Brantingham, but the Domesday survey of 1086 recorded the bishop of Durham as having land under cultivation in the parish (Hall, 194). And so began an unusual association between this typical Yorkshire village and the County Palatine which continues to the present day.

  • Kilnwick Percy Hall
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes KILNWICK PERCY HALL Report by David and Susan Neave June 2013 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Kilnwick Percy Hall 1.2 Grid reference: SE 825502 1.3 Administrative area: Nunburnholme Civil Parish, East Riding of Yorkshire Unitary Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not registered 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Picturesque 18th-century park with mature woodland, ornamental water, church and deserted village site. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE 3.1 Estate owners An estate at Kilnwick Percy was purchased by Thomas Wood of London in 1563. In 1574 he built a new house there, of which only the datestone survives. In 1627 the estate passed by marriage to the Anderson family of Lea in Lincolnshire. In the early 18th century Edmund Anderson remodeled the house which was further transformed after it was sold to Robert Denison, a West Riding clothier, in 1784. The hall and estate were sold again in 1840 to Arthur Duncombe, son of 1st Baron Feversham of Duncombe Park, who enlarged the house, adding the giant portico. In 1947 the Kilnwick Percy estate was sold to Harry Whitworth whose son Henry demolished a large portion of the house. When the estate was put up for sale again in 1954 much of it was purchased by Lord Hotham of South Dalton, and the hall became the farmhouse for a 320-acre farm. In 1986 the hall and about 42 acres of surrounding parkland and woodland were sold to the Madhyamaka Buddhist Centre. (Neave, ‘Kilnwick Percy Hall’; inf.

  • Surface and Subsurface Fault Mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK
    Surface and subsurface fault mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK. Vernon, R., Ford, J., Watkinson, K., Haslam, R., Woods, M., Farrant, A., Burke, H., Davis, A., Lear, J., Tarnanas, H. & Wrathmell, E. © UKRI All rights reserved Background • The Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group crops out across a significant area of southern and eastern England and extends offshore into the North Sea. • The Chalk is an important source of groundwater across England, however the different properties of the Chalk Group Formations and the effects of dissolution, karstification and faulting on groundwater flow are little understood. • In this project we have used a multidisciplinary approach to map a fault network from the North Sea which intersects one of the UK’s major aquifers and determine the importance of the fault network for groundwater flow within the region. • The Yorkshire Wolds is a region of low hills located east of York, between Scarborough and Hull, in northeast England, which is underlain by bedrock of the Chalk Group and are transected by two major fault zones. • The Chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds is a principal aquifer and the main source of water supply in East Yorkshire. The aquifer and associated groundwater system is directly influenced by the properties and distribution of the Chalk formations, faulting and superficial deposits that locally conceal the Chalk. • Current geological datasets for the region are based on historical mapping and do not reflect modern geological understanding, or consider more recent surface and subsurface data. • To rectify this a collaborative geological study between BGS and the Chalk Group Environment Agency has integrated a wide range of surface and subsurface data, literature and direct field evidence to create a revised geological interpretation for the northeastern Yorkshire Wolds, including the DEM from NEXTMap Britain elevation data from Intermap Technologies ©NEXTMap®.
