  • Goddards Historic Report
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Historic Designed Landscapes Project - York Goddards, Dringhouses, York Report by Gillian Parker, January 2021 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Goddards 1.2 Grid reference: SE 589 497 1.3 Administrative area: Dringhouses Without Civil Parish; York City Council; County n/a (modern); West Riding of Yorkshire, Ainsty of York (historic) 1.4 Current site designation: Not on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST George Dillistone, who designed the garden at Goddards, is a neglected figure in garden history, despite the gardens he designed, the approval of his contemporaries, his extensive writing on garden design and planning, his importance in the history of the British Iris Society, and his founding role in the Institute of Landscape Architects. Goddards may be the only garden where Dillistone designed both hard landscaping and planting, and that still exists in its entirety and attached to the house for which it was designed. The rich archival record for Goddards’ garden provides detailed examples of Dillistone’s planting ideas that challenge implications (Wood 1996, 331) that he held onto the coat tails of Gertrude Jekyll. Dillistone may have towed the Edwardian planting line in his earlier years (see, for example, ‘E.S.’ 1919, 185–86) but the shaping and repetition in his planting plans, and his colour palette and 1 plant choices at Goddards, described below, suggest something different and more modern. Similarly, the clean and sharp lines of the hard landscaping, and its use of English Renaissance devices (the ‘Long Walk’, ‘Bowling Green’, a mount) indicate other influences (see, Blomfield and Thomas 1892).

No matter what ever your results are I hope that you all enjoy this season’s volleyball. Last season saw the European Volleyball Federation (CEV) impose on us that all NVL Clubs follow the correct procedures for International Transfer of players. This effectively means that annually any player competing in the NVL whose Federation of Origin is not England would need to follow this procedure and pay the appropriate fee. We were successful in negotiating a phased implementation of this with it only applying to Super 8 teams last season. However this season Division 1 Clubs must also now follow this new procedure.

This was noted. Restructure of Local Government – As part of Local government reform, the Local Government Minister introduced a new condition to the devolution deal in that as a new tier of representation is being introduced (i.e. an elected Mayor), a tier should be removed so that there isn’t additional bureaucracy. Currently North Yorkshire has what is known as a ‘two tier system’. There are seven District Councils – Selby, Ryedale, Scarborough, Hambleton, Richmondshire, Craven and Harrogate – which deliver circa 80 services locally including housing, planning, council tax services, and bin collections; and a County Council which delivers circa 50 services including social care, children’s services, schools, highways, and libraries.

  • Yoc Report 1984
    YOC REPORT 1984 GEOFF SMITH, 1936 — 1985 The sudden death of Geoff Smith at the age of 49 was a stunning blow to York Ornithological Club. He had just started his seventh term as Chairman and this was a measure of his popularity among members. Previously he had served as Secretary of the club. Geoff carried out the duties of his office in a style that was entirely his own, based on personal qualities of warmth and friendliness, boundless good humour and tremendous enthusiasm. The success of the club owes much to him. A few words from Geoff made the shyest newcomer feel at home and he was especially generous with the help and encouragement he gave in the field to birdwatchers who did not possess his skill in identification. He was an expert and particularly sharp—eyed observer who rarely missed anything. His patch was the Lower Derwent Valley — he was there the morning before he died — which he knew intimately after countless hours of watching in all weathers. He took a leading part in the winter wildfowl counts which led to the designation of the area as an SSSI. He was also an active worker in the censusing of breeding birds. Because of Geoff’s love of the Lower Derwent, and its great ornithological interest, the club has decided that the most appropriate memorial to him would be a public hide for local and visiting birdwatchers on one of its richest sites. The club has launched a ￡1,000 appeal to build it and the hope is that the Geoff Smith Hide will be up and in use before the end of the winter of 1986—87.

  • U DDPR Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby 1331 - 1992
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby U DDPR Papers of the Preston Family of Moreby 1331 - 1992 Biographical Background: The Preston family originated in Westmorland but were living in Holker by the seventeenth century. The second son of George Preston of Holker, Christopher Preston (b.1639) became a Leeds merchant. The family remained as merchants in Leeds through the rest of the seventeenth century and Christopher Preston's grandson, John Preston (d.1710) was an alderman and mayor of Leeds in 1692. Papers relating to the pew he purchased in Leeds church are in the collection. One of his daughters married Marmaduke Lawson (b.1685) of Moreby whose estates passed to the Preston family after he died without issue. The Preston family made good marriages in the early eighteenth century. William Preston (d.1772) married Ellen or Helen Farrer in 1721 and she brought a marriage portion of £600 and ultimately family estates as represented in the estate papers in the collection. His son, also William Preston (1723-1791), married Elizabeth Kilvington in 1756 and her marriage portion was £4000. When he inherited Moreby from Marmaduke Lawson he left Leeds to reside there. His brother, Henry Preston (1737-1808), stayed in Leeds and married Ann Fourness. Two of their sons died as young men in 1804 and their youngest son, also Henry Preston (1779-1837), married Maria Ann Crompton, ultimately succeeded to Moreby after the death of his uncle and became High Sheriff in 1834. His other uncle, Thomas Preston (1742- 1827) became vicar of Scalby and died childless, his estate passing then to Henry Preston's son, Thomas Henry Preston.

  • Roman York: from the Core to the Periphery
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORLD CLASS HERITAGE CONFERENCE, 2011 Sponsored by York Archaeological Forum Roman York, from the Core to the Periphery: an Introduction to the Big Picture Patrick Ottaway PJO Archaeology Introduction Amongst the objectives of the 2012 World Class Heritage conference was a review of some of the principal research themes in York’s archaeology in terms both of what had been achieved since the publication of the York Development and Archaeology Study in 1991 (the ‘Ove Arup Report’) and of what might be achieved in years to come. As far as the Roman period is concerned, one of the more important developments of the last twenty years may be found in the new opportunities for research into the relationship between, on the one hand, the fortress and principal civilian settlements, north-east and south-west of the Ouse, - ‘the core’ – and, on the other hand, the surrounding region, in particular a hinterland zone within c. 3-4 km of the city centre, roughly between the inner and outer ring roads – ‘the periphery’. This development represents one of the more successful outcomes from the list of recommended projects in the Ove Arup report, amongst which was ‘The Hinterland Survey’ (Project 7, p.33). Furthermore, it responds to the essay in the Technical Appendix to the Arup report in which Steve Roskams stresses that it is crucial to study York in its regional context if we are to understand it in relation to an ‘analysis of Roman imperialism’ (see also Roskams 1999). The use of the term ‘imperialism’ here gives a political edge to a historical process more often known as ‘Romanisation’ for which, in Britain, material culture is the principal evidence in respect of agriculture, religion, society, technology, the arts and so forth.
