This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Middleham To
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Middleham to Aysgarth Starting point and OS Grid reference Middleham Castle – Free parking Main Street/market square, Middleham (SE127876). Ordnance Survey map OL30 Yorkshire Dales – Northern and Central Areas Distance 10.5 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This is a linear walk from Middleham to Aysgarth so you need to work out tactics for the return journey by car/bus. It is possible to return via the river footpath but this would make the walk somewhat long. At the time of writing, buses do connect Middleham and Aysgarth. There is some road walking, mostly on quiet lanes where you are more likely to meet horses than traffic but there is one brief stretch along the A684 - less than ½ mile and there are narrow grass verges. This is a varied walk, starting in the pretty Dales village of Middleham, takes in Penhill, which at 526 metres provides good views of Wensleydale and passes attractive waterfalls along the River Ure, including the famous Aysgarth Falls. Middleham is the centre of racehorse country and is famous for its massive castle, greatly out of proportion to the relatively small village. It has an attractive cobbled centre and Georgian houses and cars can be parked free in the market square and on the main street. Public toilets and a selection of cafes/pubs are available both at Middleham and at Aysgarth. This walk finishes at the George and Dragon in Aysgarth. As a common point of reference, the walk starts at the entrance to the castle. Start: Facing the castle entrance (SE127876, turn left and walk up the track.

    Eighteenth and nineteenth century antiquarians and medieval tiles Jennie Stopford Studying medieval floor tiles in northern England opened my eyes to the wealth of information there is in antiquarian archives and publications that contributes to our knowledge and understanding of the medieval material. The nineteenth century records also demonstrate the enormous influence that discoveries of medieval tiles had on Victorian floor tile production at places like the Maw and Jackfield tile factories in Coalbrookdale. Early antiquarian records generally consist of brief notes of discoveries. The big monastic sites had lain in ruins since they were dissolved by Henry VIII between 1536 and 1540. Following dissolution, the monastic sites were physically dismantled and the moveable assets were sold. In some cases floor tiles were included in the lists of assets made for the Crown, and some floor tiles were probably sold for re-use elsewhere, while others remained under the rubble of the fallen buildings. From the eighteenth century the (now secular) owners of these sites developed a new-found interest in the ruins that formed part of their estates and, most importantly from our point of view, began to record their discoveries in diaries and journals. Early snippets The earliest record in the north of England was made by Ralph Thoresby who noted the accidental discovery in 1713 of a tiled tomb in the ruins at Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds. This event probably provided the inspiration for later diggings in the church at Kirkstall by Thoresby and his friends. Also typical were the diggings by Martin Stapylton at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire in 1818, recorded by Edward Baines.1 The Stapylton family had acquired Byland some time after the Dissolution and Baines mentions the discovery there of ‘a beautiful Roman pavement, in a high state of preservation’.

  • Interactions Between Medieval Clergy and Laity in a Regional Context
    Clergy and Commoners: Interactions between medieval clergy and laity in a regional context Andrew W. Taubman Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Centre for Medieval Studies 2009 Taubman 2 Abstract This thesis examines the interactions between medieval clergy and laity, which were complex, and its findings trouble dominant models for understanding the relationships between official and popular religions. In the context of an examination of these interactions in the Humber Region Lowlands during the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, this thesis illustrates the roles that laity had in the construction of official and popular cultures of medieval religion. Laity and clergy often interacted with each other and each other‟s culture, with the result that both groups contributed to the construction of medieval cultures of religion. After considering general trends through an examination of pastoral texts and devotional practices, the thesis moves on to case studies of interactions at local levels as recorded in ecclesiastical administrative documents, most notably bishops‟ registers. The discussion here, among other things, includes the interactions and negotiations surrounding hermits and anchorites, the complaints of the laity, and lay roles in constructing the religious identity of nuns. The Conclusion briefly examines the implications of the complex relationships between clergy and laity highlighted in this thesis. It questions divisions between cultures of official and popular religion and ends with a short case study illustrating how clergy and laity had the potential to shape the practices and structures of both official and popular medieval religion.

We are Paul and Helen Klein, and we are the proud owners of The Blue Lion in East Witton. We took over The Blue Lion in 1990 and before that it was in the same family for three generations from 1856 to 1989. Whilst there have been alterations and refurbishments over the years, keeping the character and history of a Dales inn has been at the forefront of our minds. The name ‘The Blue Lion’ was given to the pub when it was built. When you arrive, you’ll notice that we still have the original pub sign on the front of the hotel. Whilst it's not that easy to maintain, it's such an important part of the history of our inn, that we couldn't replace it! Our favourite thing about the inn is its fantastic location and the wonderful things to do on our doorstep. We love taking our two dogs, Lola and Pepper, for long walks in the countryside and there is some fascinating history to be discovered in the area. We hope you enjoy your time at The Blue Lion...
