  • Wrenthorpe Matters Nov 2020
    WRENTHORPE COMMUNITY ASSOC. WRENTHORPE MATTERS Issue No. 3/2020 November 2020 Welcome: to the Latest Edition of Wrenthorpe Matters. Produced by Wrenthorpe Community Association to help keep you up-to-date with village news; it would normally be delivered by our fantastic team of volunteers to every home in Wrenthorpe – over 3,500 copies – but due to these unprecedented times we are “delivering it to you online” where you will have the option to download and/or print. COVID 19 PANDEMIC Firstly we would like to offer our condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one to Covid 19, or any other illness, since March. We, the Wrenthorpe Community Assoc. were very saddened by the loss of a valued trustee, David Arthur, who sadly passed away from this awful disease in April at the age of 81. David was a member of the WCA for many years and his life experiences – an active member of the Unitarian Church, the Liberal Democrats, several choirs, and his work with many charities - enabled him to give us invaluable advice and help over the years. RIP David. VILLAGE HALL AND VALLEY CRESCENT CENTRE Once the local Food Bank moved out of the Village Hall at the end of August a special deep clean was done, and a small Working Party began the task of preparing both venues for safely re-opening. By mid-September both were ‘Covid-Secure’ for the return of our regular users. Due to local Covid alerts from mid-October, and, of course the second National Lockdown, very little progress has been made on resuming former activities but we are pleased that our premises are ready once Government guidance allows.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.
