Also, Melanie, a big thank-you for taking on this important position. And also, of course, many thanks to her predecessor, Toni, for all his excellent, award-winning work over so many years. After a generally disappointing start to the season with several meets having to be cancelled, it’s now encouraging to note that the vast improvement to the weather has enabled us to get those vans out and things seem to be in full swing. I was hugely disappointed therefore that health concerns led me to cry off attending the Festival of Walking and Cycling – I actually got as far as Wakefield! – especially, as from all accounts it was an extremely enjoyable and successful event. Congratulations and thanks to all in Northern Area who were involved in its planning and its running. You even managed to arrange fantastic weather! I wrote in our last edition about the need to ensure we have enough volunteers to fill essential positions and it’s therefore heartening to know that Peakland and Northern Areas, and the Section itself, achieved a full complement.

  • Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603
    Clapham Parish Wills and Inventories 1541 – 1603 A Clapham Village History Project 2016 - 2018 The further backward you can look, the further forward you can see (W.S.Churchill) INTRODUCTION This project was funded by Stories in Stone, a scheme of conservation and community projects concentrated on the Ingleborough area. The scheme was developed by the Ingleborough Dales Landscape Partnership, led by Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A group of volunteers, brought together in 2016 by Ken Pearce, Sheila Gordon, Mary Slater and Michael Slater, made digital images of wills and inventories for the ancient parish of Clapham, North Yorkshire, for transcription and analysis. This parish comprised Austwick, Clapham, Feizor, Lawkland, Newby and Newby Cote. Clapham ancient parish was chosen as collections of wills and inventories for neighbouring ancient parishes Giggleswick, Horton-in-Ribblesdale and Ingleton have already been made. An eventual comparative study of all of these records will be of value; this report considers the wills and inventories separately to make valid comparisons with other parishes easier. The documents relevant to this work are held at the Lancashire Record Office (LRO) in Preston, Lancashire. The LRO staff have been most obliging and helpful. Corrections have been made to the LRO catalogue where names of testators were incorrectly recorded. Some of the documents were in such a delicate, fragmented and unreadable state that they were not photographed. The digitising of the documents was carried out with equipment provided by Capturing the Past - a Stories in Stone project training volunteers to catalogue and digitise local archives.

  • 2018 RAND Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 THE RAND CORPORATION IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS SOLUTIONS TO PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGES TO HELP MAKE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SAFER AND MORE SECURE, HEALTHIER AND MORE PROSPEROUS. FACT FORW FACT MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR ANDMESSAGE THE PRESIDENT High-quality, objective research and analysis are RAND’s stock-in-trade. Increasing the impact of that research and analysis is RAND’s overarching institutional priority. But the role of facts and analysis in policymaking and in American public life has diminished over the past two decades—and this regrettable trend is not limited to the United States. The very foundations of democracy have begun to erode within and outside U.S. borders. Technology is revolutionizing societies at unprecedented speed, fixing some of the world’s ills while making people and institutions everywhere increasingly vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation. Our vision is for a world where facts matter; where the best minds find ways to help people and organizations flourish; where ideas are tested, debated, and refined; and where the best ideas rise to the top and are shared with all who want to and can use them. The RAND Corporation is a one-of-a-kind organization—part think tank, part consultancy, part university—which makes it uniquely positioned to analyze—and to solve—humanity’s biggest, most complex problems. Every day, researchers and doctoral students at RAND are energized by taking on these challenges to improve the collective safety and security, health, and well-being of citizens. We turn to evidence, data, and facts to help communities rebuild and become more resilient after disasters; devise strategies to thwart illicit activities in cyberspace; deescalate and deter international conflicts; cultivate better outcomes for students; and more.

The full version of the walk. Add extra nights (we recommend Ripon, Malham and Austwick) to ease you in, give you a rest in the middle and to celebrate the end. How much walking? Full days: 15-24 km per day, 3½-6½ hours walking Using shortening options: 10-15km per day, 2¼-4½ hours walking using ride-with-luggage transfers at the start of each day Max. Grade: This route, our third in England and our first in the north of the country, seeks to show walkers the two sides of Yorkshire’s rural heritage, and was designed by local residents and On Foot clients Shaun and Lynda Callaghan. Starting in the eastern lowlands, in the little cathedral “city” of Ripon, the first day takes you straight to one of the most important centres of medieval England, Fountains Abbey, which owned vast tracts of the county before Henry VIII decided that he would prefer them for himself and his barons. The setting of the Abbey is without parallel. The route then starts to climb, gradually at first, through the sheep country of the Dales (sheep were as important in medieval times as they became in the 18th century when they were the basis for Yorkshire’s industrial growth). Linking the pretty villages of Pateley Bridge, Burnsall, Hebden, Grassington and Kettlewell, your route reaches limestone country via justly famous Malham “Cove”, before traversing the market town of Settle to your destination, Austwick village, nestling in the dale below the gaunt massif of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s “three peaks”, and your final challenge.

There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924084250624 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. VOL. V. THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

  • CHURCHES and CHAPELS in AUSTWICK from Early Times Until
    CHURCHES and CHAPELS in AUSTWICK From early times until 1879 the parish of Clapham consisted of the four townships of Clapham, Newby, Austwick and Lawkland and each of these elected a churchwarden for the church in Clapham. The lists of churchwardens that survive (Visitation Courts and Town records) show discrepancies. The job was onerous and was often delegated to others by the elected persons. There are now four churches, at Austwick, Clapham, Keasden and Eldroth. Since 1879, when division of the larger Clapham parish took place, Austwick has elected two wardens for its own parish church – the Church of the Epiphany, Austwick. Although there was a church or chapel in Austwick up to the mid-17th century, it is not known where it was or when it closed. The village had its own minister up to the time of the Civil Wars. A petition of 1651 by the inhabitants of Austwick says that there were in the town many blind, lame and aged persons who cannot go to church and the inhabitants are so impoverished by plundering, billeting and assessments, that they cannot as before maintain a minister at their own charge. (Source not yet identified). There is a field outside the village called Chapel Pasture. The Library of Lambeth Palace holds a document that shows that in Clapham, besides the parish chucrh, there are ‘two chappells for the said parish, viz. Austwicke and Eldrith … Austwicke chappell hath neither mynister nor mayntenance belongs it, and but a myle from the parish churche, and good waye. We think fit it should be dissolved.’ Whether or not it was dissolved is not known.
