THE researches and conclusions of science lead us to the acceptance of the general theory that at a period far remote from our day, though by no means at any early stage of the world's existence, the present arrangement of its crust, by a gradual alteration of the mundane equilibrium, took the place of a disposition of land and water differing totally from that now familiar to us. Our continents, it is proved, have taken the place of other continents whose slow submersion occasioned the vast oceanic expanses of the southern hemisphere. Geological facts can be read in the Hght of this theory ; but the strongest direct evidence, as so strongly adduced by Professor Huxley, is found in the considera- tion of the present state of the living organic 2 BYGONE YORKSHIRE. world ; that is in the geographical distribution of animals and plants. The innumerable coincid- ence (astounding in the face of any other theory) among the branches of the African, Papuan, and Australasian races are clear testimony of their being surviv^als of old-world types ; either in their continuance upon the fragments left of their ancient continents or in the new countries which rose to meet their footsteps as they hastily or insensibly retired before the rising waters. The fauna, other than the human animal, and the flora of those accidental remnants of the early continents, are also alone sufficient to warrant the assumptions to the acceptance of which the survivals of old human customs and folk matter have led. How often this awful oscillation—silent and slow in itself for the most part, though perhaps culminating towards crises, and almost necessarily catastrophic in its effects at one stage or another —has occurred, or to what extent present life is influenced by alternations of equilibria other than the last great reversal, are questions which nor conjecture nor science can yet touch ; they are closed doors, awaiting keys which geology may yet furnish. LAKE-DWELLINGS OF YORKSHIRE. 3 The abundant traces of that most recent re-adjustment of the globe —most recent, yet before all history—are corroborated by the hundred- tongued voice of tradition, and, moreover, a long rearguard of facts also remains yet in the misty region known as '' prehistoric times " to keep up a line of communication, in a more or less defined manner, between Now and the earliest period of the present condition of the earth. I venture to think we have in the lake dwellings of the world a unique and an almost universal relic of those early times, not necessarily in any one instance dating from the turn of that measureless tide, but at any rate so far in the past that men had either the necessity which must have compelled existence among watery wastes, or had not yet lost the habits which earlier necessity had made characteristic. We have to consider here the water-dwellino^s which belong to prehistoric times. Yet it is as well to mention that, just as in other directions we find all the arts of the ancients having their counterparts among savage races of to-day, so there are to be found in many parts of the world tribes 3^et living on lagoons and at mouths of rivers,—in water-dwellings which have a strong 4 . BYGONE YORKSHIRE. family likeness to what we call the prehistoric lake-dwellings. This, of course, according to many circumstances which would have to be considered, may or may not help the theoretical view with which this paper commences, but it may obviate objection to reflect that, until a certain point of civilization is reached, the tendency of man is to continue to rule his life and actions by the ancestral standard. Narrowing the limits of the subject it may be briefly stated that a series of discoveries, initiated by Dr. Keller in Switzerland in 1854, and more amply illustrated b}^ Dr. Munro in 1890, in a magnificent collection of statistics, have estab- lished the fact that a broad and indefinite belt of Europe—including, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, France, Holland, and the British Isles —contains an immense number of remains of ancient structures, which, built on piles or masses of sticks and brushwood on the beds of lakes, were the habitations, farm buildings (?), and strongholds of a people living through the Stone and Bronze ages, commencing in most primitive times and coming down by ''a gradual, quiet, and peaceable development," to a period of artistic skill and absolute culture, till—and it is here that Mr. 6 BYGONE YORKSHIRE. Franks and Dr. Munro correct previous conclu- sions—they were finally driven out by a fresh race, which, after impressing its own character on the lake-dwellings, abandoned them. To come to the British Isles, the lake-dwellings of Scotland and Ireland, thouofh includinof some early examples, are mostly of a date compara- tively late. Under the unmelodious name of Crannoges or Crannogs, they had been known for centuries, and have even taken part in the events of recorded mediaeval history ; though their archaeological import was not recognized till 1839, and not fully until the Swiss discoveries gave enlightened zest to inquiry. In these cases the late use of the structures as military fortresses seems to have obscured the consideration of their original purpose. In the lake-dwellings of the continent there have been found sufficient relics to afford a not altogether indistinct idea of the life and occupa- tion of the inhabitants, and it may be instructive to review some of the details, incorporating the conclusions to which they have given rise, before the Yorkshire examples are dealt with. The Lake-dwellers came into Europe as a pastoral people, provided with the cow^, sheep. LAKE-D WELLINGS OF YORKSHIRE. 7 pig, goat, and dog ; they were not wanderers, but settled in groups, consisting in some cases of hundreds of faraihes. The race did not Hve exclusively on the water, as there are remains of coeval hill-dwellings. They were likewise agriculturists. Their tillage is considered to have been extremely simple, but it was evidently systematic, and conjecture is given ample scope by Dr. Keller's remark to the effect that some of the products found are of a quality not excelled by the best growths of the present day. The chief crops appear to have been wheat, two-rowed barley, and flax. Their food was the flesh of the domestic animals, and of animals of the chase, fish, milk, corn-meal, rye, crab-apples, plums, pears, sloes, acorns, waterchestnuts, hazelnuts, cherries, rasp- berries, grapes, and blackberries. The broken state of the bones found is a peculiarity of remarkable uniformity of occurrence. Not only are all marrow bones found broken u^), but the hollow bones of the heads and jaws containing cellular tissue have been opened with a readiness which, by constant use, became almost art. Professor Rutmeyer adduced 8 BYGONE YORKSHIRE. from this that there was ''no superfluity," but it is quite as feasible to suppose that the palates and cookery of the lake-dwellers were capable of rendering these parts, not the "• miserable pittance " he describes, but a dainty. From finding the jaws of dogs similarly cracked, it has also been held that those animals were likewise eaten ; the fact, how^ever, of dogs being kept at all by the islanders, together with the finding of immense quantities of small bones which would, if the general conditions were those of scarcity, have been gnawed and eaten by the canines, points rather to plenty.

  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met.

  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

In order more fully to illustrate the subject, the Plates have been increased from twelve, as was at first stipulated, to their present number,-and from this, and other causes, the expense of the work has much exceeded his previous calculations. To cover the additional charges, the prices of 6*. 6d. for Small Paper, and 13,. for Large Paper Copies would be requisite,-and, as the number of copies subscribed for, if taken at the original prices of 5s, and 10s. 6d , would subject him to considerable loss, he can only submit the case to the liberality of his Subscribers. » — — ; AN HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIORY CHURCH OF BRIDLINGTON, IN THE EAST RIDING O?

  • Introduction to Roman Yorkshire
    ROMAN YORKSHIRE: PEOPLE, CULTURE, LANDSCAPE By Patrick Ottaway. Published 2013 by The Blackthorn Press Chapter 1 Introduction to Roman Yorkshire ‘In the abundance and variety of its Roman antiquities, Yorkshire stands second to no other county’ Frank and Harriet Wragg Elgee (1933) The Yorkshire region A Roman army first entered what we now know as Yorkshire in about the year AD 48, according to the Roman author Cornelius Tacitus ( Annals XII, 32). This was some five years after the invasion of Britain itself ordered by the Emperor Claudius. The soldiers’ first task in the region was to assist in the suppression of a rebellion against a Roman ally, Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes, a native people who occupied most of northern England. The Roman army returned to the north in about the years 51-2, once again to support Cartimandua who was, Tacitus tells us, now under attack by her former consort, a man named Venutius ( Annals XII, 40). In 69 a further dispute between Cartimandua and Venutius, for which Tacitus is again the (only) source, may have provided a pretext for the Roman army to begin the conquest of the whole of northern Britain ( Histories III, 45). England south of Hadrian’s Wall, including Yorkshire, was to remain part of the Roman Empire for about 340 years. The region which is the principal subject of this book is Yorkshire as it was defined before local government reorganisation in 1974. There was no political entity corresponding to the county in Roman times. It was, according to the second century Greek geographer Ptolemy, split between the Brigantes and the Parisi, a people who lived in what is now (after a brief period as Humberside) the East Riding.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.
