  • East Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    East Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… With a foreword by The Hon. Mrs Susan Cunliffe-Lister, HM Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire This directory was put together by people with a disability for people with a disability, though the places and information included will be useful to anyone. With a wealth of hidden treasures, East Yorkshire is often referred to as ‘Britain’s best kept secret’. Savour its traditions, stately homes, stunning nature reserves and colourful seaside life. East Yorkshire has many claims to fame; did you know, for example, that Britain’s tallest man came from Market Weighton, and that Hull is home to England’s smallest window? For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help to encourage better access for all in the future. Revised March 2015.

    National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools Report Skirlaugh Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Dorset Avenue Skirlaugh, Hull HU11 5EB Diocese: York Local authority: East Riding of Yorkshire Date of inspection: 9th March 2011 Date of last inspection: 23 rd April 2008 School’s unique reference number: 117993 Headteacher Mrs J Forth Inspector’s name and number: Mr R D Masterton No. 483 School context Skirlaugh C of E VC Primary School serves the village of Skirlaugh and others nearby in a rural district near Beverley and Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. There are 153 pupils who are predominantly White British. A below average percentage of children are eligible for free school meals but the proportion with special needs is average. The school has close links to the nearby parish church which hosts an ecumenical community. At the time of the inspection the head teacher had been in post for just six months. The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Skirlaugh Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School as a Church of England school are good. Skirlaugh school has sustained the quality of its distinctive Christian provision through a period since the last inspection when there have been several changes of leadership. This reflects the intrinsic strength and unity of purpose by staff and foundation governors. Under the leadership of the present headteacher, critical self evaluation has become firmly established. It has reflected more exacting inspection standards and given accurate insight into how the school can further improve. Skirlaugh has the potential to become rapidly an outstanding church school.

  • 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.
