In particular I am grateful for the continued support and encouragement of Brian Dyson, Hull University Archivist, and Oliver Pickering, Deputy Head of Special Collections, Leeds University Library, as well as the other members of the project steering group. Thanks are due to the staff of the following archive offices and libraries whose collections are covered in this guide: Cumbria Record Office, Kendal, Doncaster Archives Department, Durham County Record Office, East Riding Archives and Records Service, Huddersfield University Library, Lancashire Record Office, Leeds University Library Department of Special Collections, the Library of the Religious Society of Friends, Sheffield Archives, West Yorkshire Archive Service, York City Archives and the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research, University of York, and to the archivists at Bootham School and The Mount School, York, and Ackworth School. The support of the Friends Historical Society, the Quaker Family History Society and the Quaker Studies Research Association is also acknowledged. The project received valuable assistance from the Historical Manuscripts Commission, through the good offices of Andrew Rowley. For the loan of his personal Quaker book collection I am indebted to John Youatt Dunning. 2 CONTENTS List of abbreviations used iv Introduction 1 1 Archives of the Society of Friends 2 1.1 Quarterly Meetings 2 1.2 Monthly Meetings 3 1.3 Preparative Meetings 21 1.4 Friends First Day Schools and Adult Schools 73 1.5 Local Friends organisations 89 1.6 Friends schools 99 2 Other collections held by project partners 107 2.1 Archives of businesses and other organisations 107 2.2 Personal papers of Quaker families and individual Friends 116 2.3 Meeting libraries and Quaker book collections 123 2.4 Miscellaneous collections 127 Finding aids 128 Bibliography 129 Contact addresses 130 Index 132 3 Abbreviations used in this guide add. additional ARCHON Archives Online c. circa FHS Friends Historical Society FQE Friends Quarterly Examiner HEFCE Higher Education Funding Council for England HMC Historical Manuscripts Commission JFHS Journal of the Friends Historical Society LSF Library of the Religious Society of Friends ms. manuscript MM Monthly Meeting NRA National Register of Archives OS Ordnance Survey OUP Oxford University Press PM Preparative Meeting QM Quarterly Meeting QSRA Quaker Studies Research Association RSLP Research Support Libraries Programme supp. supplement ts. typescript vol. volume YAS Yorkshire Archaeological Society YQHP Yorkshire Quaker Heritage Project YQM Yorkshire Quarterly Meeting 4 Introduction Reference codes: the references given to a This guide has been compiled under the collection during cataloguing and used to auspices of the Yorkshire Quaker Heritage identify items for consultation.

The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change.

The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Also, Melanie, a big thank-you for taking on this important position. And also, of course, many thanks to her predecessor, Toni, for all his excellent, award-winning work over so many years. After a generally disappointing start to the season with several meets having to be cancelled, it’s now encouraging to note that the vast improvement to the weather has enabled us to get those vans out and things seem to be in full swing. I was hugely disappointed therefore that health concerns led me to cry off attending the Festival of Walking and Cycling – I actually got as far as Wakefield! – especially, as from all accounts it was an extremely enjoyable and successful event. Congratulations and thanks to all in Northern Area who were involved in its planning and its running. You even managed to arrange fantastic weather! I wrote in our last edition about the need to ensure we have enough volunteers to fill essential positions and it’s therefore heartening to know that Peakland and Northern Areas, and the Section itself, achieved a full complement.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

Further work of compilation, analysis, comparison and contrast with other areas is needed to supplement this narra­ tive and to interpret the material in a wider context. This interim cameo can serve as a contribution to the larger picture. QUAKERS IN THIRSK MONTHLY MEETING 1650-75 The present study investigates the area around Thirsk in Yorkshire and finds evidence that gives a slightly different emphasis from that of Davies. Membership of the local community is apparent, but, because the evidence comes from the account of the sufferings of Friends following their persecution John Woods for holding meetings for worship in their own homes, when forbidden to meet in towns, it shows that the sustained attempt in this area during the decade to prevent worship outside the Established Church did not prevent the Malton,North Yorkshire,England 1660-70 holding of Quaker Meetings for worship in the area.
