    Response to the Draft Recommendations of the Electoral review for Hambleton District Council Suggested Changes to the Proposed Stokesley Ward I have been the County Councillor for the Stokesley Ward for nearly 24 years. In this time the ward boundaries have changed, for twelve years my Division consisted of Stokesley, Seamer, Newby, Hutton Rudby, Crathorne, Picton, Potto, Middleton on Leven, Sexhow and Skutterskelfe. The Parishes in the ward were all very different but Hutton Rudby was always a very distinct community. Hutton Rudby deserves to be a ward of its own and not put in with Stokesley. It would be possible to put Seamer in with Hutton Rudby, one of your main objections to this solution in your report was the separation of the 2 communities and the poor road links. However, the road network between Seamer and Hutton Rudby is not as described. Tame Bridge, part of the Seamer Parish, is situated some distance from Seamer and borders the main road between Stokesley and Hutton Rudby. This boundary is shared with the parish of Skutterskelfe, part of the Rudby Combined Parish Council. Tame Bridge Farm is the last house in Skutterskelfe Parish and is nearer to Stokesley than Tame Bridge houses. Transport links are good and the main village can get to Hutton Rudby along 2 different routes as well as via Tame Bridge. By putting Seamer in a ward with Hutton Rudby this would allow the numbers to be acceptable. Stokesley is a distinct community but I understand the need to have the correct numbers and therefore Kirkby and Great Broughton would fit with Stokeslye.

    HUTTON HERALD 18th June 2021 WORKING TOGETHER Message from Mr Kelly I can’t believe that we have only one half term left before the summer holidays. There seems like there is so much to do! I’ve no doubt that it’s going to fly by! Our superhero day was a great success. The children looked fantastic, as did the staff! We had Mr Beckwith as Spiderman, Mr Johnson as Bananaman, Miss Palmer as Mrs Incredible, Miss Martin and Mrs Trevis as Supergirl, to name but a few! Thank you for your kind contributions. Additionally, thank you for all your support so far with preparations for the Summer Fair. I have been in contact with the Local Authority, Health and Safety and Public Health this week, and the Summer Fair can still go ahead on Saturday 17th July. Having spoken to the aforementioned bodies, we have had to make some changes. Originally each class were going to perfom a variety of songs and we were due to have a set from a band called ‘The Beer Pigs’. Sadly none of these things will be taking place now. However, everything else we had planned is still ok to go ahead with. I remain confident that the fair is going to be a great success. Please see the attached flyer to this newsletter for more information about how you can help us make the Summer Fair a wonderful day for everyone.Thank you for those parents who have expressed an interest and already played in the parent/staff football club on Monday nights 7-8.

  • Dobson(1886 - 1956) Dobson Surname
    ELIZABETH E DOBSON(1886 - 1956) DOBSON SURNAME This most interesting surname, of medieval English origin, is a patronymic, of the medieval person- al name "Dobbe", which is itself a pet form of Robert, from "Hrodebert", a Germanic personal name composed of the elements "hrod", renown and "berht", bright, famous. Robert, though found in England before the Norman Conquest, became more widespread among all classes of society afterwards. Dobb itself is a popular surname in the North of England and the Midlands. Other patronymic names from this source include Dobbin(g)s, Dob(b)inson, Dobbison and Dob- bieson. Dobson itself is also found fairly widespread in County Leitrim, Ireland, probably as a result of the influx of early English settlers into the country. One Roger Dobbessone appeared in the "En- forcement of the Statutes of Labourers, 1349 - 1359", in Cheshire (circa 1356). William Dobson (1610 - 1646), was introduced to Charles 1 by Vandyck and was one of the earliest English subject and portrait painters of eminence. John Dobson (1787 - 1865) an architect, designed new streets and public buildings in Newcastle-on-Tyne. He is reputed to be a pioneer of the modern Gothic revival. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry Dobbesone, which was dated 1327, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire", during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. The Dobson name is recorded 13,187 times in the 1881 census. By the time of 1998 electoral roll there had been a increase in the number to 15,554.

  • Linden Grange Historic Report
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Hambleton District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Linden Grange Report by Louise Wickham [July 2017] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Linden Grange [also known as Linden Grove] 1.2 Grid reference: NZ 467056 1.3 Administrative area: Hutton Rudby Civil Parish, Hambleton District, North Yorkshire County (modern), North Riding of Yorkshire (historic) 1.4 Current site designation: Not on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Interest 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Linden Grange [Grove] is a late 19th/early 20th century designed landscape of around 97 acres (39 hectares) that retains much of its original planting, although the parkland itself is much reduced through building and reversion to agricultural use. Other features remain such as the avenue from the Lodge that gave the site its name and the pond to the south of the house. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE In the mid-18th century the main building, now known as Linden Grange, was constructed on a site called ‘Tunstall Ground’ to the south west of the village of Hutton Rudby. By 1783, this was owned by David Simpson and inherited by his grandson, Benjamin David Suggitt, that year (Graves 1808, 178). On the death of Suggitt in 1823, it passed to his nephew, George Merryweather, the son of his half-brother, also George. When Merryweather married in 1826, he was described as ‘of Suggitt 1 Grove’, so the property had changed its name but by 1839, it was called ‘Linden Grove’ (NYCRO MIC 1795/83). This name change may have been due to the avenue of lime trees leading from the Lodge.
