  • Some Elements of the Landscape History of the Five 'Low Villages'
    Some elements of the Landscape History of the five ‘Low Villages’, North Lincolnshire. Richard Clarke. Some elements of the landscape history of the five ‘Low Villages’, north Lincolnshire. The following twelve short articles were written for the Low Villages monthly magazine in 2014 and 2015. Part One was the first, and so on. In presenting all 12 as one file certain formatting problems were encountered, particularly with Parts two and three. Part One. Middlegate follows the configuration of the upper scarp slope of the chalk escarpment from the top of the ascent in S. Ferriby to Elsham Hill, from where a direct south-east route, independent of contours, crosses the ‘Barnetby Gap’ to Melton Ross. The angled ascent in S. Ferriby to the western end of the modern chalk Quarry is at a gradient of 1:33 and from thereon Middlegate winds south through the parishes of Horkstow, Saxby, Bonby and Worlaby following the undulations in the landscape at about ten meters below the highest point of the scarp slope. Therefore the route affords panoramic views west and north-west but not across the landscape of the dip slope to the east. Cameron 1 considered the prefix middle to derive from the Old English ‘middel’ and gate from the Old Norse ‘gata’ meaning a way, path or road. From the 6th and 7th centuries Old English (Anglo-Saxon) terms would have mixed with the Romano-British language, Old Norse (Viking) from the 9 th century. However Middlegate had existed as a route-way long before these terms could have been applied, it being thought to have been a Celtic highway, possibly even Neolithic and thus dating back five millennia.

  • U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Barnards Family of South Cave U DDBA Papers of the Barnards Family 1401-1945 of South Cave Historical background: The papers relate to the branch of the family headed by Leuyns Boldero Barnard who began building up a landed estate centred on South Cave in the mid-eighteenth century. His inherited ancestry can be traced back to William and Elizabeth Barnard in the late sixteenth century. Their son, William Barnard, became mayor of Hull and died in 1614. Of his seven sons, two of them also served time as mayor of Hull, including the sixth son, Henry Barnard (d.1661), through whose direct descendants Leuyns Boldero Barnard was eventually destined to succeed. Henry Barnard, married Frances Spurrier and together had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Frances, married William Thompson MP of Humbleton and his son, Edward Barnard, who lived at North Dalton, was recorder of Hull and Beverley from the early 1660s until 1686 when he died. He and his wife Margaret, who was also from the Thompson family, had at least seven children, the eldest of whom, Edward Barnard (d.1714), had five children some of whom died without issue and some had only female heirs. The second son, William Barnard (d.1718) married Mary Perrot, the daughter of a York alderman, but had no children. The third son, Henry Barnard (will at U DDBA/14/3), married Eleanor Lowther, but he also died, in 1769 at the age of 94, without issue. From the death of Henry Barnard in 1769 the family inheritance moved laterally.

ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE by K. A. MACMAHON, Senior Staff Tutor in Local History, The University of Hull © East YQrk.;hiT~ Local History Society '96' ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE A major purpose of this survey is to discuss the ongms, evolution and eventual decline of the turnpike trusts in eastern Yorkshire. The turnpike trust was essentially an ad hoc device to ensure the conservation, construction and repair of regionaIly important sections of public highway and its activities were cornple­ menrary and ancillary to the recognised contemporary methods of road maintenance which were based on the parish as the adminis­ trative unit. As a necessary introduction to this theme, therefore, this essay will review, with appropriate local and regional illustration, certain major features ofroad history from medieval times onwards, and against this background will then proceed to consider the history of the trusts in East Yorkshire and the roads they controlled. Based substantially on extant record material, notice will be taken of various aspects of administration and finance and of the problems ofthe trusts after c. 1840 when evidence oftheir decline and inevit­ able extinction was beginning to be apparent. .. * * * Like the Romans two thousand years ago, we ofthe twentieth century tend to regard a road primarily as a continuous strip ofwel1 prepared surface designed for the easy and speedy movement ofman and his transport vehicles.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015
    East Riding of Yo rkshire Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy March 2015 Consultation Draft "Reducing flood risk, sustaining communities, enabling growth" EAST RIDING OF YORKS HIRE LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY CONSULTATION DRAFT MARCH 2015 ©2015. East Riding of Yorkshire Council. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introducing the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (Local FRM Strategy) sets out what the Council intends to do, working with organisations, businesses and communities, to manage the risk of flooding in the East Riding of Yorkshire over the next 10-15 years. It is of interest to all who live and work in the area, as managing the risk of flooding requires action by everyone. It is of interest to organisations that have specific responsibilities for managing flood risk such as the Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards and the Highways Agency, as they are legally required to act in a manner that is consistent with it in exercising these flood risk duties, and must also have regard to it in carrying out other work they do that may affect flood risk. Water companies are also legally required to have regard to the Local FRM Strategy in relation to their flood risk management functions. Putting flood risk into context As recent times have shown, many parts of the East Riding are susceptible to flooding, and the impacts can be wide ranging and severe.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This volume publishes the papers and correspondence of the Hotham family during the civil wars and interregnum. The head of the family and first baronet, Sir John Hotham, is well known in the national narrative because of his critical role in denying the king entry to Hull on 23 April 1642. This episode ignited much contemporary controversy, raising the stakes in a pamphlet war between the king and his parliamentary opponents, and making armed conflict far more likely. It has attracted considerable attention from constitutional historians who have debated its legal ramifications, while political and military historians have recognized that the king’s failure to seize the large arms magazine at Hull badly undermined the royalist war effort. Yet, despite their national importance in 1642, the Hotham family’s papers have only rarely been utilized by academics. Late twentieth-century historians such as J.T. Cliffe, Barbara English, and Peter Roebuck drew upon the collection to inform their work on the wider theme of Yorkshire gentry landowners,1 but few others have been to Hull to access the archive. This also reflects a relative neglect of northern England in civil war historiography. There has been no biography of either of the Hothams, and their most recent family histories date from as long ago as the First World War. 2 This is unfortunate, because Sir John Hotham and his eldest son were extremely colourful and enigmatic figures, whose letters reveal much about the cultural attitudes of the English gentry in the 1640s. This volume seeks to redress this imbalance and restore the centrality of the Hotham family to the parliamentary cause.

  • 1 Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 Papers, Printed Copies of the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 Are Available Alongside the Electronic Report
    THORNE MOORS VERTEBRATES REPORT 2013 Compiled by Martin Limbert, Bryan P. Wainwright and Steve Hiner 2014 CONTENTS Introduction Reptiles 2009–12 (with additions and corrections 2007–08) Working paper on deer List of observers and acknowledgements Species monitoring The establishment of Black-necked Grebe Recording in 2013 by Martin Limbert Birds Marsh Harriers 1990–2003 by Martin Limbert Mammals Black-headed Gull ringing: first instalment of results by Martin Limbert Reptiles A review of fish in Swinefleet Warping Drain Amphibians by Martin Limbert Fish New or additional literature sources Additions and corrections 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) INTRODUCTION 1. Scope of the report. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 is an unusually long report, not least because it continues the process of making Thorne Moors vertebrates recording as up-to-date as possible. Thus the Report contains elements beyond the routine 2013 components. Also, notice is given of a working paper on the deer of Thorne Moors, published separately in May 2014. Ever since 2012, an attempt has been made to catch up with backlogs of records and monitoring. This overall process began in the Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2012, and continues in the current Report. The last Report to include reptile data was that for 2008. The Thorne Moors Vertebrates Report 2013 catches up by detailing additional reptile records for 2007–08 and all reptile records 2009–12. The recorder is Steve Hiner. The present Report otherwise contains accounts of birds, mammals, herptiles and fish in 2013. Also, available additions and corrections to the Reports for 2008–12 (excluding reptiles) are listed in full.
