  • Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography
    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’). Locating copies of books, journals or specific articles Most of the books, and some journals and magazines, can of course be found in any good library. For access to rarer titles a visit to one of the country’s copyright libraries may be necessary.

SUMMARY INFORMATION ATTACHED Drawings – Block Plan, Ground And First Floor Plan, Elevations. Photographs (Present And Old). History. Building Stone. Comparison With Other Wayside Stations. Possible Origins Of Layouts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING This is a building constructed using local stone with a welsh slate roof covering. It has a main two-storey range, a single storey platform range, a two-storey wing attached to the main range and a service yard. It has a polite Italianate façade on the road and railway faces, which are the public faces, finished using high quality stonework. The less public faces are finished using a coarser grained stone. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS This building is typical of the wayside stations built during the railway mania of the middle and late 19th Century. Castle Howard Station House is different from the other wayside stations in the way it was finished. This is believed to have been an effort to impress the Earl of Carlisle who used the station as his railhead; the land on which the station stands was originally purchased from the Castle Howard Estate.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Nunnington to Caulkleys Bank Introduction: This Is an Easy Walk in the Howardian
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Nunnington to Caulkleys Bank Starting point and OS Grid reference Nunnington – car park by the river bridge (SE 669796) Ordnance Survey map OL26 – North York Moors Western Area Distance 6.7 miles Date of Walk 24 April 2019 Traffic light rating Introduction: This is an easy walk in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), starting from Nunnington and along Caulkleys Bank, which affords wide ranging views, before reaching the pretty village of Stonegrave. Nunnington is a quiet attractive village best known for Nunnington Hall, a National Trust stately home. After a stroll along by the River Rye, the route passes via the hamlet of West Ness before passing along Caulkleys Bank, following the course of an ancient lane atop this south facing escarpment. There are wide ranging views over the Vale of York. Its trig. point is at a mere 315ft (96m) but the views make it feel higher. There is a bench next to the trig. point, which makes for a great lunch stop, as you admire the view. Unfortunately, I hit a hazy day, which rather restricted it but hopefully the photos will give you some idea of what to expect. Stonegrave is a pretty spot as you descend from Caulkleys Bank. Apart from some lovely properties, there is not a lot there except for a nice church and unusual church. It is unusual in that it is a Minster, the smallest in the country (a good quiz question?). “Minster” was a title bestowed upon particular churches which were a monastery in ancient times.
