  • Coverdale and Wensleydale
    The Kiplings of Coverdale and Wensleydale In 1570, the chancery patent rolls record a “pardon for John Kipling of Scrafton, County York, and Reginald Kiplinge of Hudswell for all treasons, rebellions, etc committed between 1st November 11 Elizabeth and the 31st January following on reports of their penitence for their part in the Rebellion of the North testified before Commissioners of the Queen”. (West) Scrafton is in the parish of Coverham in Coverdale, which is itself a branch of Wensleydale. In 1592, John Kipling died and a commission was issued to Thomas Stevenson, the curate of Coverham, to administer an oath to his widow, Ann, to administer his estate. Unfortunately, Coverham parish records only survive from 1707, so nothing is known of the family after this until, in 1673, a Thomas Kipling paid tax on one hearth at West Scrafton. Thomas Kipling died in 1691 and his son John was appointed administrator. An inventory was prepared, showing limited possessions but £20 in bills and bonds. John married Ruth Stoney in 1706, as the following licence and register entry show. 1706 East Witton Widow Jane Kipling of West Scrafton died in 1709. She left all her estate to her own (Thompson) family apart from nominal legacies to two Kipling relatives. It’s unclear exactly how Thomas, his son John, Jane and the two Johns she names relate to each other. In 1737 there was a bill in chancery (C11/365/26 Coates v Kipling) by the Dean of Middleham against… .. (Braithwaite being slightly lower down Coverdale than West Scrafton in the parish of East Witton) for non-payment of tythes in respect of crops gathered and animals pastured on land.

Middleham was designated as a Conservation Area in 1973. Local Planning Authorities are required to “formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their area, which are conservation areas” (Section 71 of the Act). This character appraisal and management plan fulfils that duty. In making a decision on an application for development in a Conservation Area, “special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving and enhancing the character or appearance of that area” (Section 72 of the Act). While this should ensure that harmful change is not allowed, some changes, not normally requiring planning permission (known as permitted development) could still damage the special qualities of the area. Local Authorities have special powers to issue directions removing certain permitted development rights from properties if it can be shown that it is necessary.

Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. THE GATE OF THE YEAR by Minnie Louise Haskins And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. George VI read this as part of his Christmas address in 1939. Though World War II had started, no one knew what 1940 would bring. Among other things the Battle of Britain would rage in the skies, and rationing would be introduced. As we stood at the gate of 2020, few of us would have imagined the year we’ve had. As we stand at the gate of 2021, we are hopeful of a vaccine for Covid-19, but we don’t know what the year will bring, personally, nationally or internationally. The person in the poem who stands at the gate of the year, wants to know what is going to happen – they ask for a light so that they can see.

    TdF in the Dales Start: Grassington National Park Centre car park Distance: 125km Ascent: 2500m Toilets: Grassington, Kettlewell, Buckden, Aysgarth Falls, Muker, Gunnerside, Reeth, Leyburn Cafes and shops: Grassington, Kettlewell, Buckden, Aysgarth Falls, Askrigg, Hawes, Muker, Gunnerside, Reeth, Leyburn This is a stunning route largely following the route of the Tour de France through the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Quiet roads, great scenery and four classic climbs. 1. Turn left out of the car park, down over the river and up to a T-junction. Turn right signed Kettlewell and follow this road all the way up Wharfedale passing through Kettlewell, Starbotton and Buckden. 2. Climb over Kidstones Pass then down a narrow twisty descent into Bishopdale. Easy run down the valley past the Street Head Inn and on to West Burton. After tight right- left bend, turn left signed ‘Aysgarth light vehicles only’. 3. At T-junction turn left, then shortly after turn right signed to Aysgarth Falls (the Tour is likely to stay on the main road but this alternative is on a quieter parallel road). Cross over the river with a view of the Upper Falls and up to a T-junction. 4. Turn left signed Hardraw and head up Wensleydale for 8 miles. Through Askrigg and keep on this road, ignoring the first turn-off to Hawes. Go past a second turn to Hawes (good place for refreshments if needed) and then turn right signed Muker via Buttertubs. 5. Up and over Buttertubs and fast descent to T-junction. Turn right down Swaledale and follow road down valley through Muker, Gunnerside, Low Row and Reeth.

  • Hannah Johnson Née Halliday, Ward
    Hannah Johnson née Halliday, Ward (b. 1815 – d. 1881) Marie-Anne Hintze Hannah Ward, a widow, who gave her age as 51, married Thomas Johnson, a labourer aged 70 in Ripon Cathedral on 15 December 1868 (1). They both signed the register with their mark. She gave her place of residence as Mickley, Thomas resided at North Stainley and the bride and groom's fathers are named in the register as Peter Johnson, shoemaker and James Holliday, butcher. Both parties had been married before: Thomas, baptised in Ripon Cathedral in 1791 (2), had married Mary Atkinson of Sawley in Ripon Cathedral on 24 November 1817 (3). Their first child, Ann, was born the following year at Mickley but the family obviously moved to North Stainley shortly thereafter for her five siblings were born there. Mary Johnson died in 1868 and Thomas married Hannah Ward the same year. In the North Stainley census for 1871, Thomas is listed as head of the household, an agricultural labourer, aged 74, and his wife Hannah, is stated to be 60 years old and classed as a labourer's wife (4). At some point, he left North Stainley and died in the Ripon Workhouse (5). It is not known whether Hannah moved to the workhouse at the same time, but she was there at the time of the 1881 census, and her occupation is stated to be' former charwoman' (6). She died later that year on 31 August. Her burial took place at Ripon Cathedral on 2 September 1881 (7). Hannah Johnson was born Hannah Halliday and was baptised as an Anglican on 30 April 1815, in the parish of Hartwith in Nidderdale (8).
