  • A Brief Guide to Genealogical Sources at the Borthwick Institute
    A BRIEF GUIDE TO SOURCES FOR GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY AT THE BORTHWICK INSTITUTE FOR ARCHIVES This leaflet is designed to give a brief introduction to the main and most useful sources available at the Borthwick for genealogists and family historians. It is by no means exhaustive and more detailed information on these and other relevant records is given on our website. PARISH REGISTERS AND BISHOPS’ TRANSCRIPTS (PARISH REGISTER TRANSCRIPTS) The Borthwick holds the parish records for the modern archdeaconry of York (which includes the city and approximately 20 miles around). This includes original registers of baptisms, marriages and burials as well as other documents and papers deposited by the parish officers. The earliest registers start in 1538 and many continue up into the 21st century. A list of the parishes and dates we cover is available online on our Research Guides page. We do not hold parish records for the archdeaconry of the East Riding or the archdeaconry of Cleveland. These are held by the East Yorkshire Record Office at Beverley and the North Yorkshire County Record Office at Northallerton respectively. Similarly the parish records for West Yorkshire are held by the West Yorkshire Archive Service; microfilm copies of the parish registers can be consulted at the WYAS Headquarters in Wakefield. In addition we hold Bishops’ transcripts (also known as Parish Register transcripts) for most of Yorkshire. These are contemporary copies of the parish registers of baptism, marriage and burial which were sent annually to the archbishop. These records can be very useful in supplementing gaps in original parish registers; occasionally there are entries in the BTs which do not appear in the original register and vice-a- versa.

    The Economic Problems ofthe See of York: Decline and Recovery in the Sixteenth Century By CLAIRE CROSS A LEGEND has long persisted that the temporalities of the see of York suffered disastrously at the time of the Reformation through spoliation by the crown. Unembellished evidence confirms that in the decade between 1536 and 1546 Archbishops Edward Lee and Robert Holgate surren dered to Henry VIII avery large part of their ancient episcopal lands and that vast north^n estates, which the archbishops of York had possessed since long before the Conquest, passed permanently into royal ownership. Yet some early York historians have been reluctant to admit that the crown granted to the see ecclesiastical revenues, chiefly arising from the recently dissolved monasteries, in at least partial recompense for the lands the two successive archbishops had renouiKed. Undoubtedly during the middle years of the sixteenth century the see of York underwent aperiod of serious economic disruption but it seems that the archbishops did not have to face a lasting catastrophic fall in their income. Indeed, by 1600 the archbishop of York received an income from temporalities nominally equal to the income his predecessor had enjoyed in 1530- What had changed, and this had long-term consequences both religious subsequent history ofthesee, was the source ofthis revenue.

  • The Diocese of York the Deanery of South Wold Deanery Plan 2012
    The Diocese of York The Deanery of South Wold ‘A network of churches serving Rural communities’ Deanery Plan 2012 1 Mission Statement: The South Wold Deanery exists to provide a network of mutual support for churches • by encouraging one another in worship • by seeking God's will for our communities • by linking congregations to each other and to the wider church • by the sharing of gifts and resources The South Wold Deanery Synod aims to provide a bridge between the Diocese and Parish, and to be a space where all can be heard and valued and feel part of a greater whole. Deanery Prayer: We give thanks for the life and witness of all the churches in our Deanery, and pray that through the process of formulating a new Deanery Plan, God will give us fresh vision and energy to support one another, to share resources and to build bridges within our communities. Methodology: Whilst the Deanery Plan has been ‘top down’ in terms of the planned loss of stipendary posts, it was felt essential to allow the voice of each church to be heard. Each congregation or PCC was asked to respond individually to the paper ‘Changing Expectations’ and the accompanying discussion document. The result of this approach has been very positive. Most have attempted to grapple with the issue of ageing demography and increased ministerial work‐ load. Various different approaches have been suggested, which we have tried to reflect in the Action Plan. Two benefices (Garrowby Hill and Holme on Spalding Moor) have chosen to speak collectively; all the rest have responded individually.

  • East Riding of Yorkshire Important Landscape Areas Boundary Refinement
    East Riding of Yorkshire Important Landscape Areas Boundary Refinement Scope of Work Golder Associates (UK) Ltd (Golder) was commissioned by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) in July 2013 to review and map the definitive boundaries of the ‘Important Landscape Areas’ (ILAs) as defined by Policy ENV2 of the draft Local Plan 2013-2029. (Policy ENV 2 is included in Appendix A of this report). There are six ILAs within the Draft Local Plan area: The Yorkshire Wolds; Heritage Coast at Flamborough; Heritage Coast Spurn; River Derwent Corridor; Lower Derwent Valley and Pocklington Canal; and Thorne, Crowle and Goole Moors. The ILAs are based on the East Riding of Yorkshire Landscape Character Assessment, 2005 and their boundaries generally coincide with the high quality Landscape Character Areas identified at the time. (The key attributes of the ILA based on the corresponding LCA are listed in Appendix B) The objective of this commission was to redefine and rationalise the boundaries of the ILAs (currently plotted at 120,000 scale) to align them where possible to geographical features such as roads, rivers and field boundaries, taking into account the key characteristics of each LCA and the objectives of the designation. The work will support the landscape evidence for the emerging East Riding Local Plan. Method for refining the boundaries of the ‘Important Landscape Areas’ The method employed for refining and updating the boundaries is set out below: The existing ‘regional scale’ boundaries were superimposed onto larger scale OS base maps and their alignment was assessed in relation to key landscape characteristics and evidence from the 2005 Landscape Character Assessment.

  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.
