    Hambleton District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Linen Industry
    ! ! AN INTRODUCTION TO BROMPTON’S LINEN INDUSTRY This article is a consolidation of Jennifer Allison's talk to the Brompton Heritage Group on Tues 4th Nov 2003. Jennifer would like to emphasize that this is Jennifer’s personal interpretation based on a number of pieces of work by other people. We are grateful to Jennifer for making these notes available for all to read. The advertised subject was Brompton in the 19th Century, but Jennifer started much further back, and worked around the theme "Why Linen?" as Linen manufacturing was a major industry in Brompton and indirectly the reason that the Brompton Heritage Group came into existence. Even before the Norman Conquest of 1066, Brompton was special, with so much Anglian and Danish stone carving found in the church, particularly the Hogbacks. It was a biggish village in 1066, the Domesday book shows that part of it was a manor of 14 carucates taxable worth 40 shillings before the conquest which is not small, compared to Scruton (also 40) and Bedale 20. After the Norman Conquest, the entire village became part of the demesne of the Bishop of Durham. Around 1100-1200, Brompton like many villages was re-arranged from hamlets to create one central village with open fields round it, and there is a lot of evidence of Brompton being large then, even if in 2 blocks. Water End and the East side of the Green still show the layout of "tofts and long crofts" - houses at the front with a long strip of land behind. Around the village would be open fields, cultivated jointly by the villagers.

  • Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts
    Chaucer, St Loy, and the Celts Andrew Breeze University of Navarre, Pampiona Although St Loy the smith was one of the popular saints of late medieval Europe, the British evidence for his legend has never been full y described. In its common form the legend tells how St Loy, while working as a blacksmith, calmed a dangerously rearing horse (believed possessed by the Devil) with the sign of the cross, cut off its leg, shod the leg, and then attached it to the horse again without ill effect. This story was known to Chaucer and St Thomas More, both of whom allude to the saint's power with horses. Other references to the legend in Britain occur in sources as diverse as English art, Welsh poetry, and Protestant polemic. However, in spite of its popularity, this story has been neglected by Anglicists and others, perhaps because it existed almost entirely in oral form. There certainly seems to be no narrative written version of it in medieval British sources. In fact the oral nature of the legend receives striking confinnation from modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic folklore, where the account of the miraculous shoeing. without mention of St Loy, forms the first part of the tale Gabha an (Suic, 'The Smith of the Ploughshare'. Over the last hundred years or so this story has been coll ected from most parts of Ireland by folklore scholars, as well as in a Scottish Gaelic version from Tifee in the Inner Hebrides. We can assume that the tale of the miraculous shoeing was as familiar in medieval English spoken tradition as it has been in the spoken tradition of modem Gaelic communities.

  • Benefice of the Wiske
    Benefice of the Wiske 1 THE DIOCESE The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now the largest diocese in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post- industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five Archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond and Craven).
