Three Hundred and Third Edition

It’s been a strange summer in more ways than one: odd weather patterns as well as the problems caused by Covid-19. “Normal” activities have though begun to resume and this is reflected in this edition of Bishop Burton News.

We paid a visit recently with our grandchildren to the gardens at Scampston Hall near Malton. The gardens are lovely and we look forward to returning there to visit the interior of the Hall when we’re allowed to do so.

In the children’s play area we came across a Bug Hotel built from tiles and pallets. I thought I could make one too using bits of wooden pallets, corrugated cardboard, twigs, branches and left-over tiles that I had lying around. A photo of it is on this edition’s cover. It’s free to all bugs as it cost nowt to build! I hope they like it.

Please may we have your contributions to the September 2021 edition of the newsletter by 23 rd August. Editor: Bryn Jones 01964 550255 or 07852 325179 or [email protected]

VILLAGE SHOP HOLIDAY

The village shop will be closed on Friday 2 nd July and will re-open on Monday 19 th July giving Anne and Pete a well-earned break . The Editor

FARMERS’ RIDE

On Sunday 6 th June you might have caught sight of or been held up by a procession of old and new tractors passing through the village. It was a charity road run in memory of Derek Cash a farmer from Little Weighton who died last year. Their route took in Little Weighton, Risby, , Etton, Dalton, Newbald and South Cave as well as our village.

There were 123 tractors in total and at one point the whole of Finchcroft Lane was filled with tractors from top to bottom. It was much better than the Tour de as there were few police around and the tractors didn’t whizz by in the flash of an eye.

The procession was organised by Young Farmers and the proceeds (£4,600) were donated to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Service. I took a few photos of the tractors as they passed our house - it’s a shame it wasn’t a sunny day for the drivers but they did well.

DAVID MESSER LOOKING FORWARD

Well I am writing this on the day play Scotland-yes I like football. But it does seem strange to have these and other events going on after almost 18 months of no crowds and events. The Church remains and I know that the communities have supported one another so a massive thanks to all.

So where are we? The Churches have had in attendance service with either recordings taking place or livestreaming and hopefully for those who cannot or are unable to attend this has been of help. This facility will continue for the foreseeable future. I will also continue with Compline.

From July the service patterns return to some sort of normality:

DONATE A GRASS CUT

The cost of keeping our churchyard and graves in trim is borne by the Parochial Church Council and their income has dropped significantly with the closure of churches for services.

NEWS FROM THE COLLEGE GARDEN

It is midsummer day and quite cool, everything is looking very fresh after the rains and the weeds are appearing everywhere. All the plants seem to have caught up from the cold spring and some that were frost damaged like the Jasmine and Hypericum have recovered. Even some of the Hebes which looked totally dead earlier on in the year are growing away now; it just shows how resilient nature is.

Our sports pitch renovations are complete for another year and all went well. We are concentrating more on looking after the soil condition rather than using so much product. This is more labour-intensive but we have seen a substantial drop in the spend on chemicals and fertilisers. There is an increase in Diesel use but overall I think it is a more environmentally friendly way of working.

The picture below is off a Ceris Siliquestrum in the walled garden. My reason for showing this is to encourage you to be brave when pruning. This tree was unstable and hanging over one of the green houses so three years ago we took some drastic action and pruned hard into timber which was at least 20 mm across. As you can see the tree has regenerated well and is now fit for another 50 years.

Our bedding is coming along nicely but as I have mentioned

before I always like to plant a good mixture of species as something will always fail. This year the red Salvia and Petunia have been decimated by slugs. The purple salvias have done really well though and are untouched which is very odd. I don’t think slugs have great eyesight so it must be a different taste. A new addition that

[6] are doing very well are Bidens. They seem very tough and start flowering very early in the summer. I like to recycle random things that have come to the end of their useful life. The chimenea below was suffering from some serious rust so was heading to the skip, we rescued it and used it as a planter and I like the effect.

Black eyed Susie is a very underrated plant in my opinion. It is cheap, colourful and disease resistant and can be grown from seed. We grow ours in the jungle garden but it does do well outside as well. Sow seed under cover in early March. When seedings emerge prick out into finishing pots. I like to put 5 or 7 seedlings together. Pinch out the top when you get to the six-leaf stage and grow on.

We have a bed in the walled garden that was planted solely with Agapanthus. I love the effect of mass planting when in flower but as they only flower for two months it does look bare for the rest of the year. One of our sports staff who is a keen gardener came up with the idea of using Allium as a companion plant I think it was an excellent choice. The flowering season has now been extended for the whole of the summer.

We have a very good crop of bananas in the jungle garden. The fruit set in mid-January and have been growing steadily since. They seem to like the humidity to be kept high but are not as temperature sensitive as I first thought. We do not heat the greenhouse at this time of year but the plant seems to be thriving. Last time we had a crop they tasted horrible, the flesh had ripened to mush before the skins showed any indication of being ready to eat.

ASK THE GARDENING EXPERT

Rob Skells has kindly agreed to answer questions that readers may have about problems they have in their gardens. If you’d like to ask a question for the July 2021 issue of BB News please send your question to [email protected] by 20 th August 2021. Here is Rob’s answer to a question recently received.

Will woodlice do any harm to potted plants and seedlings. Whenever I move a seed tray or pot in the garden there are always loads of the little critters which go scampering to escape. Will they be eating my seedlings?

I don’t think that the woodlice do any direct harm to plants as their diet is mainly rotting vegetation, fungi and their own faeces. They do create cavities in the growing medium though and roots will be unable to cross these which can reduce vigour in a plant. These voids also act as ideal places for slugs to lay their eggs which of course will harm the plant when they hatch. Woodlice do not urinate but give off ammonia gas which you can smell if there is a large number of them. Plants need a certain amount of ammonia so this can be beneficial.

Keep well everyone and enjoy your gardens. Rob Skells Head Gardener Bishop Burton College

KCOM - BROADBAND

The work is currently on schedule with all the villagers who have chosen to be connected to KCOM scheduled to be connected by August. The remaining work to be carried out is along Joby/Mill Lane. Work up Joby is scheduled to be completed by the end of June and that up Mill Lane in the following 10days. During the work their will be rolling road closures, anyone living along the road will be able to access their properties. Thus, from August peace and tranquility should return to the village. However, I must say I do think that they have made a good job of maintaining the look of the village – given how much digging they have been doing.

If you originally expressed an interest in being connected then Jodie’s team – probably Sean or Dave will be in touch to discuss whether you wish to be connected, service terms and timings. If you have not previously expressed and

[8] interest and now wish to enquire then please give KCOM a ring and as to speak to either Sean or Dave in Jodie’s team.

I understand that KCOM are also planning to be in the village to answer any questions. I will put the dates and times on the noticeboard when I receive them. If anyone has any issues please ring me on 01964 551315 or contact me on [email protected] Margaret Hebb – Clerk, Bishop Burton Parish Council

JAN’S WHEELBARROW

Jan’s barrow is back for the fifth year. Please take a look next time you’re passing Lavender Cottage in Bryan Mere. Perennials in large pots at £2.00. Smaller pots £1 or £1.50. I’m just about managing to keep up with demand so plants change almost daily but special requests have also been accommodated.

Thank you to those villagers who have contributed to my barrow. All contributions gratefully received. All funds raised will go towards upkeep of the village hall during these difficult times.

If you don’t want to buy anything, please feel free to stop, take a deep breath, and smell the roses when you pass (they’re Gertrude Jekyll for those interested).

MONDAY CLUB

The Committee has decided that due to COVID levels to cancel the programme for this year. The intention, COVID permitting, is to re-start in January 2022 with our festive meal. More news in the next newsletter.

BISHOP BURTON GOLF

The delayed Spring 2020 meeting took place on Wednesday 12 th May 2021 at Belvedere Golf Club a nice flattish course by the seaside. The weather for most of the round was very pleasant and several new members joined us for their first outing with the Society. We weren’t able to have our usual meal at the Altisidora afterwards so we weren’t able to present prizes to Karl Thorne and Heather Hayward who won the gents and ladies prizes respectively.

The Autumn meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 29th September 2021 and will take place at Normanby Park on the South Bank of the - don’t forget to add this to your diary. We played there a few years ago and had a great time. The golf course is set in 117 stunning acres of mature woodland and parkland. The beautiful 18 hole, par 72 course is considered one of the best municipal courses in the country, providing interesting play for members, green fee players and societies alike. The course features greens of a quality you’ll find hard to match anywhere

[11]

The event will begin with coffee and a bacon sandwich at about 11.15 and the first tee-off time will be 12 noon. The cost including the golf, prizes and the pre- round snack will be £33. Afterwards we’ll have a meal at the Altisidora and non-golfing partners are most welcome. Buggies can be booked directly with the Pro on 01724 720226.

All players – ladies and gentlemen – are welcome to play. Your standard or handicap doesn’t matter. We’re just out to enjoy ourselves with friends from the village and beyond. Social golf at its best! Please, don’t think we’re all massively talented; we’re not, so there’s nothing to be frightened of.

Drop me a note or call me if you’d like to play. Please don’t leave it till the last minute. Bryn Jones [email protected] (01964) 550255 or 07852 325179

BISHOP BURTON RAMBLERS

The Bishop Burton Ramblers have re-started their walks in the vicinity. We have a mailing list that will keep you informed about upcoming walks. We vary the length and day of the walks so some are a decent hike while others are gentle strolls. Well behaved dogs are allowed. The first walk was in the Newbald area and took place on 24 th June. On Friday 2 nd July we will have walked around the Millenium Wood and Beverley Parks.

On Monday 12 th July we plan a 3 mile walk on the Wolds starting at Skidby Mill and circling Skidby with an optional extension to Eppleworth. Meet in Bishop Burton Village Hall car park at 10.30 a.m. or the Mill car park at 11.00 am. We hope to call in at the Half Moon. If you would like to take part or be added to the mailing list please contact me by email.

AN 8 MILE CIRCULAR WALK FROM BISHOP BURTON VIA WALKINGTON AND THE WESTWOOD

Starting at Bishop Burton shop, take Dale Gate south out of the village to Walkington Heads. This 1 mile section is on the road with wide verges.

[12]

At Walkington Heads turn left and after quarter of a mile turn right onto the footpath to Walkington. Going through Walkington to the church and onto the footpath that leads East off the end of Little Weighton Road, this path leads past the playing fields and continues through fields to Bentley Lane.

After a short (600 yards) section on the road take the footpath on the left and follow this to a go through a small wooded area (this footpath not recommended in very wet conditions as gets very muddy).

The path leads out of the wooded area through fields now heading north. As you cross a bridge at the bottom of field at Autherd Drain, continue on the footpath signposted straight ahead rather than the path to the right (which leads to Butt Farm and eventually Morrison’s). The path straight ahead leads to the road from Walkington to Beverley and comes out next to East Wood house. At the road turn right.

After approximately 200 yards (and immediately having crossed the bridge over the Beverley bypass), cross the road and take the footpath down to the left. When nearly at the bottom of this slope there is a gate that leads to a footpath on the right. Follow this path along the hedgerow to the Westwood popping out behind the 14 th green.

Head left up the slope and continue across the Westwood, crossing Newbald Road and going either through Burton Bushes or around to exit the Westwood at the cattle grid by the racecourse. Return to Bishop Burton along the pavement next to Beverley Road, with the final mile starting at Killingwoldgraves roundabout.

[13]

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR SHORT WALKS OR ONE 14 MILE WALK.

Starting at Bishop Burton shop, take Dale Gate south out of the village to Walkington Heads. This 1 mile section is on the road with wide verges. At Walkington Heads turn left and after quarter of a mile turn right onto the footpath to Walkington. The route shown goes right at the end of the footpath and round the edge of Walkington, eventually to Little Weighton Road where a private road / footpath leads south. Following this road it leads up between a couple of houses on the way towards Poplar Farm. At this point ‘ A’ you can loop back for a 6-mile round walk to the start.

Continue ahead to the end of the road picking up the track at Poplar Farm and following it straight ahead to the road, ignoring the path to the left which is the return route via the Risby Round. (this junction shown at mile 10 on the map). The road is at mile 4 on the map. Continuing along this road to the left there is an information board on the left describing the Risby Estate.

Opposite this board there is a footpath that adds a loop to Skidby showing as miles 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the map, taking in the Skidby Mill café Sails (courtyard tables or inside). These paths are easy to follow and when reaching Skidby go through the village to Sails café, exiting at the back and along the fields round to the graveyard to pick up the road back. To the footpath you arrived at Skidby on. If you ignore the turning to Skidby by the Risby info board continue

[14] along the road – passing the entrance to Risby fishing lakes (alternatively call at the Café at the fishing lakes which has plenty of outside tables as well as inside option). Parking at this café is possible for a shorter route including the Risby Round.

Having passed the entrance to the fishing lakes, at the end of the woods there is a footpath to the left which follows down through a dip before a small slope up to Bentley Lane. Rather than exiting to Bentley Lane follow the path round to the left at mile 9, and continue on for a mile to pick up the track from Poplar Farm.

Turn Right at this junction to return back towards Bishop Burton. This route shows taking the right hand fork before passing between the two houses to cross the field back to Walkington and exiting the field near the church. Make your way through Walkington to Manorhouse Road (shown via Northgate by the Dog and Duck). Along Manorhouse Lane you can pick up the footpath back to Walkington Heads and return to Bishop Burton.

PETROL STATIONS!

Amended plans have been received in respect of the proposed petrol station and retail development on Killingwoldgraves Lane. The only real change is that the size of the shop has been reduced compared to the plans that were refused planning. However, it still remains 42% larger than that upon which outline planning was granted and 75% larger than the size that the developers suggested as an appropriate minimum.

The Parish Council understands that whilst the principal of a shop and a petrol station has been agreed by granting outline planning, the size of the shop proposed is far too large. It is not in keeping with that which would have been expected when planning was granted. The Parish Council has written to East Riding requesting that the planning is refused as it would have a detrimental effect on the shops in the three local villages and it is far more than is needed to service the passing motorist.

We will see what happens.

Margaret Hebb, Clerk, Bishop Burton Parish Council.

TREE WORKS IN CONSERVATION AREAS

As many of you are aware the majority of the village of Bishop Burton is within a conservation area. In Conservation Areas in recognition of the special contribution of trees, conservation area legislation was introduced in 1967. This includes the blanket protection of all trees having a stem diameter greater than 75mm (3 inches) when measured at 1.5 metres (5 feet) above ground level.

Anyone proposing to fell, prune, lop or top a tree within a conservation area needs to give East Riding Council six weeks’ notice of such intent in writing preferably on the appropriate application form, but this can also be by letter. The notification must include details of ownership, location of the trees on a sketch plan and describe the works you intend to carry out.

If you are applying to prune a tree you must specify as concisely as possible, the extent to be removed.

Once received East Riding Council notifies the Parish Council of the intent and the matter is discussed by the Parish Council and their comments submitted to East Riding for their consideration. Notices of the Parish Council meetings are displayed on the village website and village noticeboards. Should the applicant or anyone else wish to attend the Parish Council meetings they are more than welcome.

If you cut down, uproot or wilfully destroy a tree, or wilfully damage (including cutting roots), top or lop a tree in a manner likely to destroy it, you could be fined up to £20,000 for each offence. In determining the amount of the fine, the court will take account of the actual, or likely, financial benefit arising from the offence. For other offences you could be fined up to £2,500. You will normally have to plant a replacement tree if the tree was removed or destroyed.

Margaret Hebb, Clerk, Bishop Burton Parish Council.

VILLAGE HALL CAR PARK

During lockdown and the KCOM work several cars without permits were being parked in the Village Hall car park. The Village Hall Committee understood the need for this in these exceptional circumstances. However, the Hall is now open and classes are back.

[16]

When booking, the hirer expects, rightly, that those attending will be able to park in the car park. In view of this will you please refrain from using the Village Hall car park at all times unless you are attending something in the Village Hall or have one of the limited parking permits.

If you or any workmen working at your house wish to use the car park as a one off for a specific reason, please ask Jan on 552364 and obtain permission prior to its use and she will advise when the car park is available.

Many thanks

VILLAGE HALL REFURBISHMENT PHASE II As some of you may recall, in 2018 the Village Hall Committee undertook Phase I of the Village Hall refurbishment which saw the toilets and kitchen brought up to date.

The Village Hall Committee is now looking to move to Phase II. Phase II will include refurbishing the car park, hopefully extending the storage area and refurbishing the main hall and corridors. As anyone who uses the Hall knows,

[17] the car park has long been in need of repair and the storage areas are bursting at the seams.

The Village Hall Committee is currently looking at options as to how this can be achieved. Like the previous refurbishment, it will only be possible if the we are able to secure grant funding.

This project is likely to be even larger than Phase I and the Committee would be very happy to enlist the help of anyone who has experience in applying for grants or is a tradesman who could help advise. Funds will also need to be raised. If anyone has any ideas in this respect they will be gratefully received. Needless to say, the proceeds for all future events, COVID permitting, will go towards the Phase II refurbishment.

If you are able to help us achieve this project in any way please call Margaret on 551315 or Jan on 552364. Thank you. Village Hall Committee

The Parish council believes that the plans as drawn are not in keeping with the conservation area. They object to the white wall and wish the current hedge and fencing to remain.

Whilst the Parish council has sympathy with Mr Tomkys views and in principle supports the need for a cycle and walking path along this stretch of road, given that the landowner has stated that they will not sell/give the required width of land for this purpose the parish council continues to believe that the most appropriate solution would be to make the road as safe as possible for road users. In this respect the Parish Council believes that widening the road as much as possible and resurfacing it is the appropriate solution. They are however concerned about the proposal to kerb the road. At the moment the verges are used by cyclists and other road users to avoid large vehicles and those that overtake inappropriately. The use of kerbing will make it impossible for cyclists to get off the road and cars more reluctant to do so, the effect will be to make the kerbed road more dangerous. The Parish council believe that kerbing should only be used if the road is able to be widened sufficiently. II.The Parish Council fully supports the request for additional signage warning users of the use of the road by pedestrian and cyclists. III.The Parish Council’s main priority is for a safe pedestrian/cycle route from Bishop Burton to Beverley. The current pedestrian route is unsuitable as it is too narrow and becomes overgrown. Widening it from the Cherry Crossroads to Killingwoldgraves roundabout into a full width pedestrian and cycle way would resolve the issue. The Parish Council have been requesting that this matter is addressed for

[21]

some years now, and given limited funding believe that this is the more pressing issue. b. EPC2-21-Model Design Code. The matter was discussed. It was resolved, proposed Cllr Wray, seconded Cllr Ellerington that Cllr Hoddinott would look into the matter and pass any comments to the Clerk for submission if appropriate. 3.2009 Any Other Business. c. Heritage Open Days 2021 10-12 September. It was unanimously resolved to support the Heritage Open Day in 2021 and agreed that the historic walks and church tours would take place on Saturday 11 th September. The village hall would also be open during the day for refreshments. All arrangements being COVID dependent. d. Beverley Wombles. It had been noted that the Beverley Wombles have made a magnificent job of clearing the litter from Walkington Heads Road. Clerk to send letter of thanks. e. Lorries Church Side. It has been noted that lorries have been using Church Side to access the village. It was queried whether this was to avoid the current traffic lights on a A1079 or a more longstanding issue. Clerk to enquire, and action as appropriate. f. Maintenance /Grass cutting. Cllr Gray informed the meeting that he was no longer able to carry out the general maintenance grass cutting of the village. It was unanimously resolved, proposed Cllr Ellerington, seconded Cllr Wray, the Clerk to drawn up at list of matters that are normally undertaken and to put the matter out to tender. To review responses at next full meeting. g. Village Task Force – The village walkabout is scheduled for the 23 rd June at 9.45am. Due to COVID only one person can accompany the ERYC personal. It was resolved, proposed Cllr Ellerington, seconded Cllr Dolton, to confirm that someone would attend and all councillors to identify matters to be included and inform the Clerk. h. Trees. It was resolved, proposed Cllr Ellerington, seconded Cllr Gray, that the council will look for additional grant funding to complete the original tree planting scheme and to plant some Oak trees in Cottage Field. It was agreed in respect of Cottage Field that the trees need to be surrounded by the metal surrounds to prevent the cattle damaging the trees and humans accessing the trees.

Proposal: Erection of a single storey extension to rear Location: 22 Callas Bishop Burton East Riding Of Yorkshire HU17 8QL Applicant: Mr Daniel Cox Application type: Full Planning Permission. It was unanimously resolved proposed Cllr Wray, seconded Cllr Ellerington, that, with the exception of the single ply grey membrane roof proposed for the extension, the parish council has no objection to the plans as submitted. In respect of the roof the Parish Council believes that it is not in keeping with the conservation area in which this building sits, and whilst it will only be seen from the side and will not be in full view of the road, it will detract from the area and could be seen as setting a precedent. The Parish Council requests that red clay pan tiles are used in keeping with the rest of the building. Cllr Hoddinott to discuss the matter with the applicant and revert to the Clerk. 4.2014 Correspondence/ other matters i. Wildflower Meadow Cold Harbour View – Cllr Ellerington has noted a post by one of the children of the village proposing that the green by Cold Harbour View is turned into a wildflower meadow.

It was agreed clerk to invite the proposer to attend the next parish council meeting to describe in more detail the proposal. j. Trees Garth ends Road . It has been noted that an Ash tree has been removed from Garth Ends Road by ERYC. The parish council had not been notified of its removal. It is understood from discussion with the workmen that ERYC will plant 2 trees for every one taken out. However, the comment was that they would probably be Cherry or Silver Birch. The Parish Council unanimously resolved, proposed Cllr Ellerington, seconded Cllr Gray, that these tree types are not ideal for this location, and that it was disappointed that it had not been made aware of the work. Clerk to write to ERYC requesting that in future it is informed in advance of tree works in the village and is consulted on the types and positioning of replacement trees.

[23]

k. ASB . It was brought to the Parish Council’s attention that the ASB continues. It was unanimously resolved, proposed Cllr Hoddinott, seconded Cllr Ellerington, that the matter is raised again with ERYC. l. Playground . A request has been received for discussion at the open meeting to have a review of the vegetation surrounding the playground. The suggestion is that it is dark, gloomy and not conducive to play for small children and is used by others such as students. The proposal is that the line of beech should be cut to 2m and the laurel to 1m, and that the specimen trees crown lifted and shaped. The parish councillors commented that they would see what the thoughts of the open meeting were but that in their experience children like playing there it has a “den” feel to it. It was confirmed that children’s voices are often heard from neighbouring properties confirming its use. It is noted that students are rarely seen up there. It was noted that permission had already been given to trim the laurel bushes to reduce their height to under the light. The matter will be raised at the open meeting and if required brought back to the next parish council meeting.

Date of next Parish Council Meeting Tuesday 4 th May 2021, 7.30 pm by zoom. Chairman declared the meeting closed at 8.30pm
