  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.

  • Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL The Incidence and Nature of Illegitimacy in East Yorkshire in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Margaret Sheila Oliver B.Ed. (Hull), B.A. (Hull) August 2014 Ab stract Many historians have studied illegitimacy as a national economic and social problem. Today, in the early years of the 21 st century, when many couples enjoy long and stable relationships without the formality of certified marriage, even the word itself is something of an anachronism. Many children are born and brought up in families where the parents never marry but who, nevertheless, support them in exactly the same way as their married counterparts. For these children, happily, social stigma is a thing of the past. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries things were very different and illegitimacy was officially viewed as a great social evil. There is no doubt that single motherhood was thought to have serious implications for the provision of poor relief and was even instrumental in a major change to the law in 1834. Illegitimacy was a personal phenomenon that had a national impact on economic and social affairs. This work is directed at the nature of illegitimacy and examines its effect on the individuals concerned. It looks at the lives of the mothers, fathers and children who were touched by the incidence of illegitimacy. It draws on a variety of national and parish documents in order to gain an insight into their lives and personal circumstances. It investigates the nature of marriage, illegitimate maternity, the effect of the Poor Law, the mortality penalty of illegitimacy, and the prospects of the future lives of single mothers and their children.

  • Primitive Methodism in the Yorkshire Wolds C. 1820-1932
    Primitive Methodism in the Yorkshire Wolds c. 1820-1932 Priscilla Mary Truss Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History March 2016 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. ii Dedication and Acknowledgements In Memory of my Grandparents: George Grasby, born Langtoft 1890, and Mary Grasby, born Wetwang 1895. Primitive Methodists both. I would like to thank my supervisors, Simon Green and Malcolm Chase, for their helpful and positive criticisms, my friends at Leeds University past and present – particularly Gordon Forster, and Mike and Vicky Spence – for all their support, and finally my family for putting up with it all. iii Abstract This thesis concerns the establishment and development of Primitive Methodism on the Yorkshire Wolds from the arrival of missionaries in Hull in 1820 to the Connexion’s final sublimation into the wider Methodist Church in 1932. In its nineteenth-century heyday Primitive Methodism was a vibrant, evangelistic faith which enhanced the lives of many working people. It gave them purpose, conviviality and a shared spirituality which few had experienced before. In the later nineteenth century it became a cohesive force in village life through its services, Sunday Schools and links with the Friendly Societies. The thesis examines why Primitive Methodism put down such powerful roots in the Wolds, a relatively isolated area with virtually no industrial development, and compares its progress there to that in other areas where it was equally strong – Durham, North Lincolnshire and Norfolk – and to those where it had a firm foothold – Shropshire, Derbyshire and Bedfordshire.

  • Newsletter Friday 14Th September 2018
    Newsletter Friday 14th September 2018 “All Learning Together” Email: [email protected] Tel: 01653 658236 Dear Parents, Welcome to the first Newsletter of this academic year! It has been an absolute pleasure seeing all the children back in school and also welcoming our new pupils to Langton. The photo to the right was taken this morning during the visit from Kevin Hollinrake, MP for Malton and Thirsk, to the school. I was delighted when one of the children informed Mr Hollinrake that their favourite thing about school was their friendships. I have seen some really super examples of our children being good friends to one another, in particular, our year 6 buddies, and it’s truly the ethos at Langton that we are so proud of. This Newsletter contains a long list of dates for the term. Please make a note of them. It also highlights how busy we are going to be! Our first event, Bag Packing at Morrisons, happens tomorrow and has been organised by FoLS. My thanks to Annabelle, Hayley and the team for arranging this. At the end of last term, I mentioned that some of the FoLS committee would be stepping down from their roles this year. We have been very lucky to have had such a proactive group who have done an amazing job organising our fairs and other fundraising events. Some of the committee are staying on but we really do need some new members. On Friday 28th September, the FoLS committee are organising a Tea & Coffee session in the hall to welcome our new parents to the school.

  • U DP135 Research Papers of Rev Carus Vale Collier 1910S
    Hull History Centre: Research Papers of Rev Carus Vale Collier U DP135 Research Papers of Rev Carus Vale Collier 1910s Biographical Background: Carus Vale Collier was an antiquarian and author of An account of the Boynton family and the family seat of Burton Agnes (1914). Most of his work was done at Langton Vicarage in Malton in East Yorkshire. His files include parish records from the deaneries of Bridlington (including Burton Agnes), Pocklington and Settrington as well as notes from histories of Knapton, Norton, Place Newton, Scagglethorpe, Scampston and Thornthorpe manor. One file contains notes he used for his book on the Boyntons and their Jacobean house at Burton Agnes. There are also a number of postcards and letters addressed to Collier and his correspondents included Arthur Gill, J M Lambert and S L Ollard. Like Collier these were clerical scholars who were interested in local history and the correspondence reveals something of his involvement in the Parochial Documents Commission between about 1918 and 1921. Lambert, who was archdeacon of the East Riding, was secretary of this commission. Custodial history: Purchased form E Bocking of Norwich between 17 November 1949 and 2 October 1951 Description: Transcripts of parish records of the East Riding of Yorkshire, notes on the histories of several East Riding settlements and notes on the Boynton family of Burton Agnes Extent: 45 files Related material: Papers of the Wickham-Boynton Family of Burton Agnes [U DDWB] Papers of the Wickham-Boynton Family of Burton Agnes [U DWB] From the Papers of the Lloyd-Greame Family of Sewerby [U DDLG/46/28] Access conditions: Access will be granted to any accredited reader U DP135/1 Letters to Rev.
