His descendants state that it is a tradition in the family that the Rev. J. Wesley always called at this farm on his journeys between Keighley or Bingley, and· Otley or Guiseley. The House is very near to the old road, and, judging by the Itinerary, he would call eight times. 1 He is believed also to have written the poetry and the shorthand, but for this I can find no warrant. The PoRTRAIT on the first pane is evidently intended to represent Wesley. There is an abortive] to the right, and, although we miss the long nose, eager eyes, and masterful chin of the great evangelist, yet in pose, and arrangement of hair, it is evidently 'after' the portrait taken by Nathanael Hone, R.A., now hanging in ·the National Portrait Gallery, or the engraving of this by Bland, made I765, and published in Wesley's Notes on the Old Testament. 2 The SHORTHAND, interpreted by Williamson's system (I 77 5).

    BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION WWW.BDRGA.NET B.D.R.G.A. HANDBOOK 2019 BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION The following is an extract from the MINUTES of the inaugural Meeting of the new ASSOCIATION, which was referred to as THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION dated 9th April 1948. “Invitations to attend this Meeting had been sent out by a small Committee of the Bradford Moor Golf Club, and the response was very encouraging. There was an attendance of 28 and eleven Clubs were represented as follows:- South Bradford, Bradford Moor, Otley, Cleckheaton, West Bowling, Woodhall Hills, Queensbury, Thornton, East Bierley, West Bradford and Phoenix Park. The Chair was taken by Sam Chippendale Esq. of Bradford Moor Golf Club and he extended a hearty welcome to all the visitors”. There followed a discussion: “Mr Chippendale was asked whether the Association would have the support of the West Riding Rabbits Golf Association as it was felt that such support and approval would be necessary if both Associations were to prosper. The Chairman said that he had the goodwill of the West Riding Rabbits but assured those present that our Association would be a separate entity from that body and would only be affiliated to it. Thereupon a proposal was made by the Cleckheaton Representative, and seconded by the South Bradford Representative that “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association” be, and is hereby formed, and this was carried without opposition. It was agreed by Members of the Association that an ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Association would be held at a suitable venue on April 30th 1948.” THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION CONSTITUTION AND RULES The name of the Association shall be “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association“, affiliated to the Yorkshire Rabbit Golf Association.

  • Excited for Eldwick School by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1
    Excited for Eldwick school by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1. Let’s make friends and talk As parents we all want the best for our children, and we know that young children age 0 to 4 learn best when they have one to one care with a kind, patient, nurturing adult, and are gradually socialised with others. This helps them become confident and independent enough to attend a Nursery or pre school without us part time with one adult to 4 children when they are two years old, then one adult to 13 children when they are three years old, and then school for full days when they are four. However we also know that reality for most young families is that both parents are working as soon as they can after the birth of the child, and juggling children between private day care, family and friends. We are both mothers, and full time Early Years practitioners, and understand the pressure parents are under, and have written this to remind us all of a few simple things we can do to support our children that will help them become well rounded, sociable, confident, resilient individuals with healthy attitudes to and appetites for learning and to have made the progress necessary for them to be ready for the changes outlined above at the ages they are required to do them. In this first blog we are focusing on social skills and communication. Socialising our children is a long term project, and starts at birth, and in its simplest form is very similar to socialising a puppy.

  • Christian Science Church, Wells Road, Ilkley
    The Hermit Inn Burley Woodhead DESIGN AND ACCESS STATEMENT HERITAGE STATEMENT The Hermit has a long history with the earliest parts of the building dating from the mid 18th Century. The public house was formerly known as the Woolpack but the name changed to The Hermit in honour of Job Senior, a local eccentric who lived in a hut on the moor. Local folklore recalls that Senior serenaded crowds of locals who congregated at his “primitive domicile” by Coldstone Beck, above Robin Hole. According to Burley Local History South elevation Group, Senior was born in 1780 and w ith West / North elevations (below) worked as a labourer before retiring to his shack on Ilkley Moor. After which, he received donations from those who came to hear his chants. Senior’s funeral drew a huge number of mourners and he is buried in the churchyard in Burley-in-Wharfedale. The black and white photograph (left) of a hunt meeting probably dates from the 1930’s (or slightly earlier) following the John Smith’s purchase of the pub in 1920. The building is recorded in their archives as the ‘Hermit Inn and Brewhouse’. North elevation circa 1930 1847 OS 1889 OS Peter Harrison Architects January 2021 The accompanying Planning Statement discusses the reasons why a change of use to residential occupation provides the most appropraite means of ensuring the survival of this building in a form that respects it’s long history as a public house. During the second half of the twentieth century a series of licencees undertook a number of alterations to the original building in attempts to diversify the business in the face of falling income from the core business.
