Description The House A track leads through the woodland to the house, which lies in an open glade towards the eastern edge of the forest. The house is of attractive local stone construction under a pantile roof. The property has been imaginatively renovated and modernised by the vendors over the last 15 years to create a property full of character with much rustic charm and accommodation arranged on two floors including three bedrooms ideal as a family home, holiday cottage or private retreat. The accommodation extends to approximately 2,012 sq ft as shown on the floor plan including a kitchen with tiled floor, hand crafted oak fronted kitchen units, feature open fireplace, fitted electric cooker and gas hob. The living room has an oak floor, beamed ceiling and attractive fireplace with brick surround leading to the impressive lounge, again with oak floor, feature fireplace, full height ceiling to part and mezzanine sitting area or bedroom three. On the first floor there are two good sized double bedrooms and a bathroom with a further shower room downstairs. A utility room and outside WC are attached to the south end of the house. Workshop/Studio There is a detached outbuilding with timber panelled exterior walls under a pantile roof and extended canopy which is ideal for use as a workshop, store or potentially a studio in the garden. Outside The track leads to a grass lawn area to the south of the house with a gravelled terrace area adjoining the house itself. Dry stone walls create an interesting garden with feature areas and there is a large open grass paddock to the north of the house which could be fenced for ponies or other livestock. A timber staircase leads to a terrace area adjacent to the upstairs lounge/bedroom 3 which is a particular feature of the property. Native shrubs and trees lead down to the stream forming the eastern boundary of the property below the house. Woodland The woodland in lots 2 and 3 extends to approximately 85 acres being largely free draining acid soils on the south and west sloping hillside, providing good growing conditions for trees. The woodlands are well stocked with mature and semi-mature, mainly conifer trees, formerly leased to and managed by the Forestry Commission but now back in hand. A significant portion of the woodland was identified for clear felling between 2007 and 2011 by Forest Enterprise which was not felled offering an opportunity for early income generation from the site. The stocking includes Spruce, Larch and Pine together with native broadleaves. Access is gained off High Town Bank Road which splits the site and which is offered for sale in lots, with lot 2 being approximately 61.75 acres to the east of the road and lot 3 the smaller 23.93 acres to the east leading down onto Oldstead Road East.

  • LCA Introduction
    The Hambleton and Howardian Hills CAN DO (Cultural and Natural Development Opportunity) Partnership The CAN DO Partnership is based around a common vision and shared aims to develop: An area of landscape, cultural heritage and biodiversity excellence benefiting the economic and social well-being of the communities who live within it. The organisations and agencies which make up the partnership have defined a geographical area which covers the south-west corner of the North York Moors National Park and the northern part of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The individual organisations recognise that by working together resources can be used more effectively, achieving greater value overall. The agencies involved in the CAN DO Partnership are – the North York Moors National Park Authority, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, English Heritage, Natural England, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, Framework for Change, Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber, Ryedale District Council and Hambleton District Council. The area was selected because of its natural and cultural heritage diversity which includes the highest concentration of ancient woodland in the region, a nationally important concentration of veteran trees, a range of other semi-natural habitats including some of the most biologically rich sites on Jurassic Limestone in the county, designed landscapes, nationally important ecclesiastical sites and a significant concentration of archaeological remains from the Neolithic to modern times. However, the area has experienced the loss of many landscape character features over the last fifty years including the conversion of land from moorland to arable and the extensive planting of conifers on ancient woodland sites.

Further work of compilation, analysis, comparison and contrast with other areas is needed to supplement this narra­ tive and to interpret the material in a wider context. This interim cameo can serve as a contribution to the larger picture. QUAKERS IN THIRSK MONTHLY MEETING 1650-75 The present study investigates the area around Thirsk in Yorkshire and finds evidence that gives a slightly different emphasis from that of Davies. Membership of the local community is apparent, but, because the evidence comes from the account of the sufferings of Friends following their persecution John Woods for holding meetings for worship in their own homes, when forbidden to meet in towns, it shows that the sustained attempt in this area during the decade to prevent worship outside the Established Church did not prevent the Malton,North Yorkshire,England 1660-70 holding of Quaker Meetings for worship in the area.

  • Minutes of Byland with Wass and Oldstead Parish Council Meeting Held on 8Th October 2018
    MINUTES OF BYLAND WITH WASS AND OLDSTEAD PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON 8TH OCTOBER 2018 1. Attendees Cllr. Gilruth (Chairman), Cllr. Gibson (Vice chairman), Cllr. Statham, Cllr. Metcalfe. 2. Minutes. The minutes of the last meeting were accepted as a true record and signed by Cllr. Gilruth. 3. Matters arising. 3.1. Car parking Cllr. Statham informed the meeting that the Stapylton Arms (public house) has placed a ‘No Parking’ sign on the wall adjacent to the road and that road markings indicate areas where cars should not park. 3.2. Election charges The Parish Council noted that election charges which had been proposed by RDC have been dropped. 3.3. Speed signs Cllr. Statham informed the meeting that there will be support for villages which choose to erect signs but that the scope of that support has not been decided – essentially this is a financial matter since the cost of erecting such signs and their maintenance is not clear yet. Cllr. Gibson suggested that a public meeting which focused solely on the matter of speed signs might be held when more information was available. 4. Finance 4.1. Precept The Parish Council decided that, in January, a figure of £800 would be requested from Ryedale District Council, a decrease of £10. 2 4.2. Balance Mrs Clarke (clerk) informed the Parish council that the balance stood at £4,628.83. A discrepancy of £50 in the accounts was explained – Mrs. Clarke had torn up a cheque from Cllr. Metcalfe which should have been paid into the account (a reimbursement for payment for rubble to fill in potholes which was not needed).

  • Signposts to Prehistory
    White Horse Hill Geoglyph & hillfort Signposts to Prehistory Location: ‘White Horse’ Hill (SU 301 866) is in Oxfordshire (historically Berkshire), 2.5 km south of the village of Uffington. The hill forms a part of the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and overlooks the Vale of White Horse. Main period: Bronze Age–Iron Age Access & ownership: The site is managed by the National Trust on behalf of English Heritage and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Whitehorse Hill is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is signposted from the A420 Swindon to Oxford road, and lies next to the B4507 between Ashbury and Wantage. Parking is available but is subject to a charge for non-members (see National Trust website for details). There is also a small viewing point below the Horse on Dragon Hill road, with parking for six blue badge holders only. Uffington Hill is a site of enduring significance. This complex of prehistoric remains (Fig. 1) is set in the striking natural landscape of the chalk downlands, and includes an Iron Age hillfort (Uffington Castle) and the well-known figure of the White Horse. Other features include a Neolithic long barrow and a Bronze Age round barrow, reused in the Roman and Saxon periods respectively. An enclosure and ring ditch lie to the SW of the hillfort and linear ditches across the landscape are thought to represent Bronze Age land Fig. 1. The White Horse Hill landscape from the air. Google divisions. Earth One of Britain’s oldest known routes, the prehistoric Ridgeway, is deflected around the southern side of the hillfort that was probably deliberately sited to control movement along it.
