During the writing of this thesis I have incurred many intellectual debts, but I owe a special thanks to my supervisor, Jim Sharpe, for his patience and encouragement. During the early stages of research he suggested many useful lines of enquiry and has made careful and constructive comments on the text. A number of people have been willing to share their understanding of early modern English society and have passed on valuable references. In particular, I should like to acknowledge the help of Paul Collins, Barbara Hutton, Jennifer Kaner, Bill Sheils, John Smail, Lorna Weatherill, Chris Webb and Donald Woodward. The staff of the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research and the J. B. Morrell Library, University of York, were always efficient and ready to respond to my enquiries. I am also grateful to my mother, Dylis Riley, who typed earlier drafts of chapters and to Jeanette Parkinson who word-processed the final copy. Finally, I must acknowledge the constant support of my wife, Ruth Garside, who has done more than her fair share of teaching and nappy- changing in order that this thesis may be finished. 3 Abstract This thesis contains an analysis of property ownership and family attitudes as reflected in the probate inventories and wills of four Yorkshire parishes (Cawood, Riccall, Selby and Wistow) during the period 1660-1760. Probate records are a well-known source to early modern historians, but there have been relatively few attempts to use this evidence to explore the variation in property ownership between market town and village, or the relationship between property distribution at death and family attitudes. In the first part of the dissertation the agricultural, trading and domestic property belonging to different families is studied to show how people earned a living and to reveal something of their lifestyles and cultural horizons. In the second part the intentions of testators are examined in order to measure attitudes towards distant relatives, children and wives. The central thesis of my work is that the material and mental environment of property-owners in these four parishes was essentially 'modern' by the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The types and amounts of property owned by some families reveals a highly- developed local economy containing commercially-oriented farmers and tradesmen. At the same time, their houses, furnishings and books suggest a lifestyle of increasing sOphistication. It is argued, however, that significant differences in property ownership can be found between neighbouring market towns and villages. Each community had a distinctive economy and the lifestyles of their inhabitants varied accordingly. 4 Most of the work on family attitudes in early modern England has concentrated on the analysis of diary evidence, and wills have been mainly used to assess the economic and social effects of different inheritance practices. This thesis shows that the decisions which testators made concerning the distribution of their property at death, and the language which they used to express their choices, can reveal a great deal about the family attitudes of ordinary people. A major contention is that many of the 'modern' attitudes found in seventeenth - and eighteenth-century diaries - limited kinship recognition, companionate marriages, caring parents - can also be found in wills. However, the point in the life-cycle which testators had reached and differences in social status had a marked effect on family attitudes. 5 List of Abbreviations B.I.H.R.

Victoria History of the Counties of England INTRODUCTION The Vale of York bisects the county of Yorkshire from north to south. It is sixty miles long and about thirty miles wide in most places. The Vale is bordered on the east by the North Yorkshire Moors, the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds; on the west lie the Dales and, further south, the manufacturing district of the old West Riding. Though linen-weaving was established in some areas, the Vale's economy during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was dominated by agriculture. A range of soil types produced a mixed husbandry, but the fertile clay lowlands were particularly suitable for pasture and many farmers concentrated on raising cattle for their milk, meat and hides.' Writing of the Vale of York at the end of the eighteenth century, William Marshall stated: "... if we estimate the Vale of York by the number of its rivers and the richness of its marginal banks it would perhaps be difficult in any county to equal it." 2 The greatest of these rivers, the Ouse, was a crucial trade route in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Sea-going vessels could navigate the river as far as York, from where smaller craft could sail further north to the foothills of the Pennines.' York was the most important port on the river and the major provincial capital. The city had declined during the century up to 1560 as the textile industry had shifted to the West Riding, but by the second half of the seventeenth century it had recovered its former position as the second town of England with a population of about 12,000. 4 More typical of early modern communities, however, were the nineteen market towns and hundreds of villages scattered throughout the Vale. s Four of these settlements, contiguous parishes located to the south of York and adjoining the Ouse, are the focus of this thesis. 7 Fifteen miles south of York lay the market town and inland port of Selby. With a population of just over a thousand in 1672, 6 Selby was the largest settlement on the Ouse between York and the Humber estuary. Its prosperity in the middle ages had depended largely on the wealth of its abbey, but after the dissolution in 1539 the community was thrown back on its position as a market town and an important route centre.' Selby's ferry service across the river meant that the town continued to be a convenient halting point for travellers between London and the north, and in 1686 it was estimated that the town's inns contained fifty-eight guest-beds and had stabling for eighty-nine houses.' Cawood, another Ouse port lying five miles north of Selby was a smaller settlement of about 690 people. During the medieval period Cawood's most striking feature had been the castle which served as the country residence of the Archbishop of York, but after the demolition of the castle in 1646, the town's position on the Ouse ensured its continuance as a trading centre.' Between these two towns lay the village of Wistow.

    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13th cent. - 1906 Biographical Background: The Palmes family traced its pedigree back to Manfred Palmes who was living in 1140 and had lands in Taunton, Somerset. It is a family unique in being able to trace an unbroken inheritance from son to son from the twelfth century to 1974, with only one exception in the eighteenth century. In 1226 lands at Naburn in East Yorkshire were assigned to William Palmes by Richard de Watervill, the brother of Maud de Watervill, William Palmes's wife. The demesne lordship of Naburn then descended in the Palmes family to the twentieth century (Baines, Old Naburn, p. 45; Allison, History of York East Riding, iii, p. 77; Foster, Pedigrees, iii). Naburn is about three miles south of York and the Palmes family built a manor house on the east bank of the River Ouse. The house was first mentioned in 1345 and had eight hearths in 1672. A drawing of circa 1720 indicates a two storey house, three bays in length with attic windows in high gables. In other words, the family was comfortably-wealthy, although it was not until the early sixteenth century that any of the male members of the family held public office. William Palmes, who was living in the middle of the fifteenth century, married Ellen Rocliffe, whose father was one of the barons of the exchequer. She provided him with three male heirs and a daughter before taking the veil during his lifetime, in 1479.

  • The WOLDSMAN
    The WOLDSMAN DRUFC Newsletter Apr 2016 Only 3 games left for the 1 st xv, Morley (h), Alnwick (a) & Morpeth (h). 3 teams in the top half of the table, (Morley 2 nd, Alnwick 3 rd & Morpeth 6 th ), and 3 teams we have not beaten in league so far. The only team to do the double over us this far is Phoenix, hopefully it will stay like that come 5pm 23 April. 4th place in the league is a possibility, with 8 points between us and 4th place Dinnington that’s our aim. I have enjoyed this season, I think we have played well, mostly; however, we have had a couple of off days too. The draw at Beverley, one of the latter. The team has certainly improved throughout the year, we have brought some very talented young lads into the squad, who have all settled in well, and performed above expected. Looking to next season, the league appears to be getting stronger again, at the bottom we will lose, Bev, Westoe & 1 of either Wheatley or Northern, at the top, Doncaster Phoenix continue their march to National leagues, whilst Morley will most likely play away at Kirby Lonsdale in the East / West Play off. Joining the league will be Bradford & bingley from Yorkshire 1, Durham City have an 8 point over Middlesborough In D &N1, that will mean Malton & Middlesborough will play off at the moment at Middlesborough. Coming down will be 1 of Cleckheaton or Huddersdfield YMCA. It is still a bit early to start calling it yet, but I think we could be making a trip across the pennies again, we will see.
