  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND a Tourist’S Guide to Interesting Archaeological Sites in West Yorkshire
    Registry of Deeds Newstead Road Wakefield, WF1 2DE 01924 306797 [email protected] MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND A tourist’s guide to interesting archaeological sites in West Yorkshire [Meg Dyke seen from the air. The upstanding embankments can clearly be seen forming an L shape in the centre of the image. Photograph courtesy of English Heritage.] The earthworks Meg Dyke is a prehistoric settlement enclosed by a double bank with an intervening ditch. Although the site has been damaged in places by 19th century quarrying and by the construction of Scammonden Road, Meg Dyke still remains a substantial earthwork. In places the inner bank is 6.0m wide and the outer one is about 4.0m wide. Both still stand to a height of 1.0m. The ditch between the two embankments is up to 4.0m wide and 1.0m deep. A substantial part of the central area of the enclosure has been damaged by quarrying and it is therefore impossible to determine if there were any internal features Dating evidence There is no firm dating evidence for this earthwork. An excavation across the bank and ditch in 1976 only produced undiagnostic fragments of iron. It has however been tentatively assigned to the Iron Age on typological grounds. 1 This guide was written by Dave Weldrake (© WYAAS 2010) More information on Iron Age Research Agenda the WYAAS website External links Pastscape features detailed information on the site from English Heritage. Old photographs and an early description of the site can be found in Early Man in the District of Huddersfield Location Meg Dyke is cut by Scammonden Road at approximately SE 0498 1745.

  • Y5 RESIDENTIAL TRIP to ROBIN WOOD ACTIVITY CENTRE, TODMORDEN Monday 13Th to Tuesday 14Th November 2017
    Scammonden Road, Barkisland, Halifax, W. Yorkshire, HX4 0BD Tel: (01422) 823324 Email: [email protected] www.barkislandcofeschool.org.uk Headteacher: Mrs B. Schofield (B.Ed (Hons)NPQH) 30th January 2017 Dear Parents/Carers Y5 RESIDENTIAL TRIP TO ROBIN WOOD ACTIVITY CENTRE, TODMORDEN Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th November 2017 Following on from our successful trips over the last 2 years, I am delighted to inform you that I have confirmed our booking at The Old School Activity Centre at Robin Wood, Todmorden for our new Year 5 (currently Year 4 children), for the above dates. This will be an excellent start for the new school term and something to really look forward to! Last year’s trip was a resounding success and all the children had a great time! The aim of this residential will be to introduce children to adventurous activities such as climbing, crate stacking, archery and team work as well as being a shorter residential trip away from home (but not too far away!). I have personally visited the centre on many occasions and have been very impressed with its facilities and the small, family atmosphere I experienced. I can confirm that the cost of the trip will be £86 per child which will include transport to and from Robin Wood in Todmorden, 6 activities for your child to participate in, all meals and accommodation. A deposit of £26 is required by Friday 17th March to secure your child’s place with the remaining balance of £60 due by 15th September 2017. All payments can be made via School Money or by cash/cheque (payable to Barkisland CofE (VA) Primary School).
