The bakehouse was located in the corner of what was a close, or field, which according to records in 1842 was owned and occupied (used) by Sir George Beaumont, possibly as part of his estate farm. It is not known who the bakers were, but it is likely that they were allowed to make a charge for the service that they supplied. There were other communal bakeries in the parishes around Coleorton; there was one in Aqueduct Road and it is believed that there was one in Farm Town, but this particular bakehouse is one of the last surviving communal bakehouses in the country. Coleorton Hall would have had its own facilities to ensure that it had sufficient bread for both the residents and the staff at the hall. Locally grown and milled wheat would have been used for the bread.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The management of Miniature horses at pasture in New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (without specialisation) at Massey University, Manawatῡ campus, New Zealand Sheen Yee Goh 2020 Abstract Studies on the demographics, feeding management and health care practices of Miniature horses in New Zealand have yet to be conducted. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe the demographics, feeding management and health care practices of Miniature horses in New Zealand. To achieve the aim of this study, an online survey was conducted using the Qualtrics Survey Software. There were 232 valid responses from respondents who kept 1,183 Miniature horses, representing approximately one third of the New Zealand Miniature horse population. Miniature horses were kept for leisure and companionship (56%), competition (35%) and for breeding (7%). The median number of Miniature horses kept by owners for leisure and companionship was significantly lower (two horses) than those kept for competition (six horses) or for breeding (ten horses) (p<0.05). The majority (79%) of Miniature horses were kept at pasture on low (<1,000 kg DM/ha) to moderate (~2,000 kg DM/ha) pasture masses across seasons. Pasture access was more commonly restricted by respondents during spring (60%), summer (60%), and autumn (55%) than in winter (43%).

PATERNOSTER ROW DEDICATED TO TOM EDWARDS AND THE INIMITABLE " CURLY " FOREWORD 14, Carlton House Terrace, Pall Mall, London, S.W. July 5, 1922. Dear Mr. Thorn, Thank you very much for your letter of the 29th ultimo, and I hasten to return to you the manuscript that you so kindly left for me to look over. I have now gone over the largest part of it, and find it not only most interesting but exceedingly instructive, and I am sure that the knowledge it imparts would be of the greatest value to those who break horses. Some of the theories are, of course, really acting on the lines of Sample, whom I knew years ago, and very valuable these theories are. I think the photo- graphs you enclosed are splendid for illustrations. There are one or two points in the work on which I rather differ, but they are so slight that I really think X FOREWORD they are not worth mentioning. The only danger of such practices is in the hands of those who try to carry them out but fail from want of confidence and also from not adhering strictly to the instructions laid down, and if you get these ideas instilled into a man who is partly nervous and very rough they are somewhat dangerous.

The origin of the name ‘Garforth’ is a choice between two accepted possibilities, both based on Norse roots. The first part comes either from ‘geirl’, meaning a triangular piece of land or from the name of a man, ‘Geir’, ‘Ger’ or ‘Gaer’. The second part refers unequivocally to a ford. The stream forded is today known as Sheffield Beck and was later bridged near that point – hence Garforth Bridge. The entry in Domesday Book (1086) was ‘Gereford’ and this or ‘Gerford’ was the way it was spelt during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the 15th century it became ‘Garford’. In 1559 it was ‘Garfurthe’, in 1603 ‘Garfurth’ and, finally, since 1632, ‘Garforth’. Wakefield Road Milestone Between 410 A.D. and 627 A.D. Garforth was a settlement of about 1000 acres in the Kingdom of Elmet just off The Magnesian Limestone Ridge - “The Cliff”.
