There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • Bishopthorpe Parish Council
    1 BISHOPTHORPE PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the meeting held at the Village Hall on Tuesday 27th June 2017. The Chairman opened the meeting at 7.02 pm. Two members of the public were present: Morwenna Christian from Copmanthorpe Lane and Sandra Wilson from Maple Avenue. The Chairman invited questions in turn. Mrs Christian reminded the Councillors that she attended a meeting eighteen months ago seeking permission from the Parish Council to clear an area of overgrown land on Ferry Lane sports field. At the time Mrs Christian was asked not to clear land close to Ferry Cottage until the boundary line could be agreed with the new owner. This has now been agreed and a temporary fence erected to demarcate the line of ownership. Mrs Christian explained that she is now seeking permission to clear up to the fence in the wooded area in order that the area can be used by children attending Bishopthorpe Play Group. Cllr. Harrison stated that he envisages no problem with it being cleared and thanked Mrs Christian for offering to do this. However, once it has been cleared, the Parish Council will accept no liability for injury or damage incurred by Play Group users. Mrs Christian thanked the Parish Council for granting permission and will inform Play Group. Mrs Wilson wished to discuss three matters - School-run parking at the beginning and end of the school day on Maple Avenue; Tradesmen and visitors parking on the newly planted grass verges on Maple Avenue and After-school club children climbing trees. Firstly, Mrs Wilson explained that parents are parking outside the first twenty or so houses on Maple Avenue each day to drop off and pick up their children from the Junior School.

  • Thornton House 64 Copmanthorpe Lane Bishopthorpe York YO23 2RS
    Thornton House 64 Copmanthorpe Lane Bishopthorpe York YO23 2RS Guide Price: £850,000 A large detached house with lovely grounds in a semi-rural position at the edge of Bishopthorpe village. Opportunities to buy properties towards the top end of the market in Bishopthorpe are few and far between. Thornton House offers significant living space, set within a plot of approximately 1/3 acre, positioned at the end of a quiet lane and with lovely views across farmland. The house benefits from wood double-glazed windows and gas central heating, but we estimate that the kitchen and bathrooms were installed in the 1990s and so would benefit from refurbishment. At one stage, part of the ground floor (study, bedroom 6 and wet room) were set up to be partially self-contained for a dependent relative and this space would lend itself to use in a similar way if required. GROUND FLOOR Entry to the house is via a large entrance hall, with coat cupboard, staircase and guest WC. Doors lead to the dining room, sitting room with fireplace, and kitchen with breakfast area, oak-fronted units, granite worktops and doors to the rear. There is also a separate utility room, off the kitchen, plus another section of the house leading to the study (which could be a small living room) with fireplace, leading to bedroom 6 and wet room. FIRST FLOOR From the landing (which has useful cupboards), there are doors to the master bedroom suite which is frankly enormous and could easily be divided into 2 doubles. It has significant built-in wardrobe space and an ensuite bathroom, together with several large windows offering splendid views over farmland on one side and the gardens on the other.
