Bradfield: the Eleven Guide-Stoops Walk
THE ELEVEN GUIDE STOOPS OF BRADFIELD A 17 ½ mile Anytime Winter Challenge Walk This is a hilly walk with 2,989 ft of climbing, very scenic and mainly on quiet roads designed for those winter months as an alternative to wading through mud. It can of course be attempted at any time of year and indeed, there are 3 footpath alternatives (shown in red) for purists or those averse to road walking. These footpath alternatives are attractive and do not add any extra mileage. I have counted at least a dozen horse troughs by the roadsides, indicating that apart from a layer of tarmac, these byways have changed little since the invention of the petrol engine. There must also be a record number of seats on this route, most with extensive views – well done Bradfield Parish Council. I hope you will find the walk full of interest as you discover the 11 guide stoops of the Parish of Bradfield, reputedly the second largest in England. I cannot, however, claim all the credit for this walk – the inspiration was a fascinating booklet entitled The Guide Stoops of the Dark Peak, published and printed privately by Howard Smith. The reason I took a walk to seek out these guide stoops for myself was due entirely to the foot and mouth epidemic of 2002 when, of course, footpaths were out of bounds. What are Guide Stoops? These are the earliest form of signposts which each Parish had the responsibility to maintain. They date from the 18 th and 19 th centuries and were usually carved from gritstone.

The Medieval Origins of South Pennine Farms: the Case of Westmondhalgh Bierlow*
The medieval origins of south Pennine farms: the case of Westmondhalgh Bierlow* the medieval origins of south pennine farms by David Hey Abstract The scattered farmsteads of the Pennine foothills of south-west Yorkshire rarely offer visual clues to the antiquity of their sites. Most of their names are first recorded in the early modern period, yet if we examine the surnames that are associated with them we find that many were founded well before the Black Death. This is a much older settled landscape than at first appears. The importance of the hamlet as the basic unit of farming systems is emphasized, and evidence is provided for small arable townfields, divided into doles, and extensive moorland commons whose boundaries are marked by deep ditches that have wrongly been interpreted as linear defences from the Romano-British or Anglian period. Modern studies have provided us with a general understanding of how farms were created on the edges of moorland in different parts of England during the period of population growth between the twelfth and early fourteenth centuries. The pioneering work of Margaret Faull and Stephen Moorhouse on West Yorkshire, of John McDonnell on the North York Moors, of Angus Winchester on the Lake District, the northern Pennines and the Scottish Borders, and of Harold Fox on Dartmoor is well known.1 In recent years the late Richard Britnell and Brian Roberts have led a team in an ESRC-funded project on settlement and waste in the Palatinate of Durham, including the western High Pennines, where the extent of waste by the early fourteenth century differed little from today.2 Yet there is still much scope for local studies of the predominantly pastoral and weakly manorialized territories that characterized the gritstone moorlands and which differed considerably from, say, ‘the islands of cultivated land in a sea of waste’ on the magnesian limestone district of south-east County Durham.
