  • Heritage at Risk Register
    CASTLE HOWARD MAUSOLEUM Castle Howard Estate, Ryedale, North Yorkshire The Mausoleum, by Hawksmoor, 1729-42, and modelled on the tomb of Metella, is a major feature of the Howardian Hills. Situated on a bluff east of Castle Howard. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay. Much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. 304 HERITAGE AT RISK YORKSHIRE & THE HUMBER 305 Y&H HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the 176 entries on the baseline 1999 Yorkshire and the Humber buildings at risk register, 91(52%) have now been removed. Although this is 6% higher than the regional average for 2008, our rate of progress is slowing. Of the five entries removed this year, only one was on the 1999 register. This is because the core of buildings remaining from the 1999 register are either scheduled monuments with no obvious use, or buildings with a problematic future that require a strategic re-think to provide a viable solution. Despite these problems, we are continuing to work with owners, local authorities, trusts and other funding bodies to try to secure the long-term future of these buildings and structures. Just over half (52%) of the regional grants budget (almost £500,000) was offered to eleven buildings at risk in the last financial year. There are four new entries this year: in North Yorkshire, St Leonard’s Church at Sand Hutton, and in West Yorkshire, Hopton Congregational Church in Mirfield,Westwood Mills at Linthwaite, and Stank Hall near Leeds.This gives a total of 122 Grade I and II* listed buildings and scheduled monuments at risk entries on the Yorkshire and the Humber register.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.

Grace Maddan 1 Karen Banks From: Humphrey Maddan <[email protected]> Sent: 05 February 2021 08:47 To: Planning; Andrew Bishop; [email protected]; localplan Subject: Planning application R/85/514/GDO Adambottom farm West Burton Leyburn DL8 4UL Dear Planners, I strongly object to the proposed mast at West Scrafton. I think there are many reasons why it is unwise to accept 5G modernisation at the cost of the world class Yorkshire Dales. Here are a few: 1) Economically - the business cases I've viewed about the benefits to do with IoT does simply not stack up in having a meaningful benefit to our communities. Faster internet yes - see next point: 2) Technically - fibre optic would be hugely preferable as a solution to faster internet - due to speed and precision with no visual collateral. 3) Aesthetically - I would hope that individuals responsible for stewarding the Yorkshire Dales are conscious of how rare a landscape they are able to either preserve or change. 4)Environmentally - I think the effect on pollinators and species (not to mention humans) seems to be relatively unquantified. Therefore in light of the other areas, there is no reason to bring this risk to our community. I realise that it must be a hard decision - but please scrutinise your motives in this area.

  • The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, Pp.22-30
    BRITISH MINING No.48 MEMOIRS 1993 Barker, J.L. 1993 “The Mines of Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge, Swaledale” British Mining No.48, NMRS, pp.22-30 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1993. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.48 THE MINES OF DOWNHOLME MOOR AND THORPE EDGE, SWALEDALE. by J.L. Barker The mining fields of Downholme and Thorpe Edge, although in pastoral lower Swaledale, provide a bleak and windy aspect for much of the year. Part of the moor lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and this offers an element of protection for the mining remains. The whole terrain is now controlled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a military training area, but the nature of this training is such that what remains of the mining activity is almost completely undamaged other than by the elements. These areas represent a relatively small mining field compared with those in upper Swaledale. Much of the land was owned by Coverham Abbey until the monastery was dissolved in 1537. Eventually, Downholme Moor passed to Lord Bolton of Wensleydale and Thorpe Edge to D’Arcy Hutton of Marske. In 1927 Downholme Moor and Thorpe Edge were bought by the MoD from their respective owners. A further purchase of part of Downholme village was completed in 1931. Visual and documentary sources show that only four important veins were explored and these appear to be only a few hundred yards long. Most of the ore was mined in the Main Limestone and in the Richmond Cherts above.
