    Roseberry Topping a Short Tour of the Celebrated Landmark the Book “Roseberry Topping”

    Roseberry Topping a short tour of the celebrated landmark The book “Roseberry Topping” This presentation is taken from a book, published in 2006, by the local history group Great Ayton Community Archaeology and the landscape photographer Joe Cornish, who lives in Great Ayton. All 3,000 copies of the publication were sold in six months or so, and copies rarely, if ever, appear on the second-hand market. Geology Roseberry Topping consists of almost horizontal strata arranged like a layer cake. Saltwick Sandstone cap Whitby Mudstone (with jet at lower levels) Cleveland Ironstone Staithes Sandstone Origin of the name The name Roseberry Topping derives from Othenesberg, Old Norse for the hill of Odin, named by the Scandinavian invaders. The initial “R” arose from the village of Newton-under- Roseberry, with alliteration of the “r” of “under”. Toppinn is Old Norse for hill. This became Anglicised into Topping. Roseberry is the only location in Britain to be overtly named after Odin, and was clearly held in high regards by the Scandinavians. Lord Rosebery In spite of the slightly different spelling, the title “Lord Rosebery” does derive from the Topping. The Earldom of Roseberry was created in 1703 by Queen Anne, in recognition of Sir Archibald Primrose’s support for William of Orange. The Primrose family owned land near Roseberry Topping, and thought the name “Roseberry” had a good sound to it, hence they adopted the name for the title. Over the years it lost one of its “r” letters. The Fifth Earl, shown here, is remembered for having three ambitions; to marry the richest woman in England, to become Prime Minister and to win the Derby with one of his horses.

  • The Yorkshire Matterhorn

    The Yorkshire Matterhorn

    Viewpoint The Yorkshire Matterhorn Time: 15 mins Region: Yorkshire and the Humber Landscape: rural Location: National Trust car park at Roseberry Topping, off A173, near Newton under Roseberry, Cleveland, North York Moors, TS9 6QS Grid reference: NZ 57000 12800 Driving through the gently rolling landscape on the edge of the North York Moors, you cannot fail to notice the craggy peak of Roseberry Topping standing proudly like a church spire amongst a cluster of cottage rooftops. The hill is known locally as ‘the Yorkshire Matterhorn’ because its shape reminds people of the pyramidal peak of that mighty mountain. Straddling the Swiss and Italian border, and standing 4478m tall, the Matterhorn is one of Europe’s highest mountains. What has produced Roseberry Topping’s distinctive shape and made visitors think of a mountain over 965 miles away? There are two reasons for the curious profile of Roseberry Topping. The first is down to geology, or the rocks that make up this area. Roseberry Topping is rather like a layer cake, with bands of different rocks sitting one on top of the other. The base is sandstone, next is a layer of ironstone, then mudstone, and it is topped off with a sandstone cap. The other hills in the area are also layered from these stones, but most do not have a sandstone cap. Over the years wind, rain and ice have battered the local hills, slowly breaking down the rocks and washing them away in a process called erosion. This has left the rounded moors we see today. Sandstone, however, is a harder rock than the others in the area, so the cap on Roseberry Topping acted like a shield and gave it more protection.

    The North York Moors Re-Visited

    The Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS Key words: physical environment; agricultural land use; rural settlement; services; tourism; transport; urban settlement. Thirty or so years ago, I wrote an essay about The North York Moors for the BBC Domesday Survey (Silson 1986). This new essay examines the extent to which changes have occurred since then. Shortly after the first article was published in1986, I was interested enough to do further field work on the area so some information used here is for 1985 and some for 1986. Likewise contemporary fieldwork was undertaken in both 2015 and 2016. The area allocated to me in 1985 excluded the eastern part of the region administered by The North York Moors National Park Authority, hereafter: NYMNPA, but included some peripheral areas administered by Hambleton and Ryedale District Councils. The same area is discussed in this essay, and the extent of the area is delimited in Figure 1. This essay is illustrated by plates located near the end. Figure 1 Morpholgical features of The North York Moors Physical Environment The North York Moors is a tectonically relatively stable inland area (Goudie 1990). Hence its morphology has scarcely had time to change in a mere thirty years. An example of a very small change has been the making of a small pond about two km to the east of Thirsk. But the major morphological contrasts continue to be controlled by lithological contrasts in underlying rocks (Straw and Clayton 1979).

    Published Books on Great Ayton and Roseberry Topping Ian Pearce April 2012

    Published books on Great Ayton and Roseberry Topping Ian Pearce April 2012 The obvious sources of information about Great Ayton are the classic authors such as Graves, Ord and Atkinson, and Dan O’Sullivan’s more recent and more comprehensive history of the village. However, there are many other published books on Cleveland which include references to Great Ayton. This article is intended to be a guide to these sources, some of which are difficult to find. Within each group books are listed by date of original publication. There is a summary of the information relevant to the village. Many of the books are available in the reference sections of local libraries; Northallerton and Middlesbrough can be recommended. Some of the older texts are available on the internet. Some books written by people living in the village, such as George Dixon’s natural history books, are included because of their close associations with the village. History of Great Ayton School Published for the Jubilee Committee, 1891 Extremely rare, copies likely to be several hundred pounds. The first fifty years of the Friends’ School, originally the North of England Agricultural School, largely written by George Dixon, the school’s first superintendent. The school was established to educate the children of Friends who had married out of the Society: boys were trained as agricultural workers, girls for domestic service. George Dixon was an obvious choice for the position of the first superintendent, having farming and teaching experience and a staunch Quaker. George describes his life before coming to Great Ayton, and how the family arrived at Philip Helseton’s house on High Green in 1841 to start the school.

SPRING CONFERENCE 2019 The Changing Nature of Conservation Saturday 6th April, Clements Hall, York, 9.15am – 4.45pm The nature conservation movement in Britain has seen enormous changes over the past century or so, from the first tentative steps to protect species and sites to national and international initiatives to manage whole landscapes in harmony with the natural world. Great changes are likely to occur within the present century, too, so it is timely to review past progress and consider how our relationship with the landscape and its wildlife may alter in future years. This conference brings together representatives from major conservation bodies, who will present personal views of the changing nature of conservation: • Sir John Lawton, keynote address: ‘Making Space for Nature: past, present and future’ • Rob Stoneman (YWT): ‘The Wildlife Trusts: from preservation to dreams of a Wilder Future’ • Laurence Rose (RSPB): ‘4319 years of bird conservation’ • Richard Baker: ‘Alien pest invaders’ • Jeremy Purseglove: ‘Making Space for Water’ • Tim Thom (YWT): ‘Getting to grips with peat’ • Phil Lyth (Farming and Wildlife): ‘Farming with Wildlife in a changing world’ • Brian Walker: ‘Changing attitudes in the Forestry Commission’ There will also be displays and bookstalls.
