2 Summary of the Scheme . An even geographical spread of projects was aimed for, as shown on the accompanying The LEADER funded Small Scale Enhancements map.

. Unlike other grant schemes, the SSE Scheme was fully administered by the National Park Authority which bank-rolled the funding until it was claimed back through NYCC.

. The Scheme awarded £323,586 to 90 Heritage Event: surveying veteran trees at Duncombe Park communities over the four years.

3 Educational Impacts

12 of the SSE Scheme’s projects focussed around young people and improving their understanding of the environments in which they live in, some of which are explained below.

. The Doorways Project in 2010 worked with Redcar & Cleveland’s Entry into Employment Service – a learning programme which is aimed at young people aged 16-18 who are not participating in any post 16 learning.

. The Hutton Buscel Church Yard Project taught pre-school children and their parents about the wildlife in the Park and encouraged them to explore the habitat the adjoining church yard has to offer.

. The Teaching Trees Initiative ran 20 educational woodland sessions, taking school children out of the classroom and into managed woodlands to inspire enthusiasm for trees, woodland and wildlife.

. The Chop Gate History Project involved local school children interviewing local village residents of the past 60 years of village life. The information was transformed into six mosaic panels.

. Roxby Old Manor Site involved the use of the Mulgrave Community Research Group (a main LEADER funded project) to undertake a geophysical survey to improve the understanding of the old manor site.

. Handale Abbey Gate Project encouraged local school children to explore local folk lore and legend and using their imagination from these stories to design a new gate to be erected at the site.

4 Environment Impacts

74% of the SSE Scheme projects had a conservation element to them. This equates to 95 projects and was by far the most popular of the three themes projects.

Within this theme, projects can be split into heritage conservation and natural conservation.

Heritage Conservation provided a varied range of projects from the restoration of village pinfolds, war memorials, cobbling works, information boards, ironmongery and finding new uses for the traditional red telephone boxes just to name a few.

. Robin Hood’s Bay Cobbling reinstated stretches of traditional cobbled highways throughout this historic fishing village. Similar work was also carried out in Osmotherley.

. Oswaldkirk Telephone Kiosk was adopted by the village and restored to its original condition as a feature of the village. Other boxes have been converted to information hubs housing maps, leaflets and other local information.

. Egton Mortuary Chapel erected an information panel relaying the history of the site to inform the many walkers passing by this hidden gem.

. St John’s Church, Pockley is perhaps the most unique project supported through the Scheme which saw the reinstatement of the Victorian heating system and underground train track system transporting fuel to the heating stove.

. Many other historical structures and village features were also restored through the Scheme such as the village pinfolds at Osmotherley, Hackness and , Lockton Well, Kildale Tomb Chests, Horse Troughs at Hartoft and Goathland and Lastingham, Lythe and Hutton le Hole War Memorials.

5 Nature Conservation projects brought about direct habitat improvements or enhancement of the natural environment through the creation of wildflower areas and pond restoration. 7 projects were supported by the Scheme.

. Rosedale Abbey Conservation Area Project enhanced an area of the church yard using wildflower seed collected from a local farm. National Park volunteers helped the local volunteers by helping to clearing away the cut grass and preparing the ground ready for the wildflower seed.

. West Ayton Wildflower Areas provided for the enhancement of two different habitats within the village, a woodland and wetland area, enhancing the existing environments.

. Chop Gate & Carlton Schools Wildlife Areas created garden and wildlife areas within the two schools enabling the pupils to grow their own plants and vegetables.

. Honeybee Conservation Project helped to rescue our healthy native bee population by purchasing 30 hives to be given to new beekeepers to help increase our local bee stock ensuring our bees stay healthy and virus free.

. Rosedale East Pond brought about the reinstatement of an historic pond which had been silted up and overgrown for many years. By bringing it back into use, it is hoped to improve the biodiversity of the local area.

. Hutton le Hole Memorial Garden created a wildflower area to the back of the church. It was planted with native wildflower plants and installed with bird, bat and insect habitats to provide a tranquil place for visitors to enjoy.

. The Hutton Buscel Church Yard Project encouraged the local children to explore their Pictures from top: Chop Gate & Carlton Schools Wildflower church yard as an outdoor classroom.

6 Village Improvements

Village improvements formed 14% of the total projects supported through the SSE Scheme with 18 projects bringing about direct enhancement to the character and appearance of villages.

. Lastingham Railings are a feature of the village and assistance was provided to restore sections which had become neglected.

. One of the most popular of requests for assistance was the restoration of the traditional village name plates. Many villages were enhanced through this area of work.

. Levisham Flagpole was reinstated after many years. Historical evidence shows there being a flagpole on the village green since before the 1950’s.

. Lockton Village Seat was designed and created by a local blacksmith to provide a focal point to the village next to the large Lime Tree on the village green.

. Doorways Project used volunteers from Redcar & Cleveland’s Entry into Employment Service to create planters, placed in the public realm within Charlton’s and Easington so that the general public could grow vegetables and form part of their village improvement/in- bloom initiative.

. Goathland Village Enhancements saw the restoration and improvement of a group of features which cumulatively brought about an enhancement to the character of the village. Several directional finger posts were improved as well as a traditional double horse trough within the centre of the village.

Many of the Heritage and Conservation projects located within villages could also fall within this theme as they are also features which add to the character and interest of our villages.

9 2010 Heritage Event

In 2010, the SSE Scheme held a Heritage Event, named ‘Rural Past, Present & Future: A Heritage Conference’, designed to inspire community heritage and help set the scene for the SSE Scheme.

English Heritage, the North York Moors National Park Authority, and North York Moors Coast & Hills LEADER funded the event, bringing together some of the UK’s leading heritage experts.

The Event combined a programme of formal presentations with practical activities and group sessions, each designed to enthuse, educate, and delight all those who attended.

The Conference Programme included keynote speakers Alison Drake of the Castleford Heritage Group and Mike Benson from Folk Museum.

Other presentations explored regeneration projects, such as Richmond Station, as well as taking a look at subjects such as the Sobriety Project/ Yorkshire Waterways Museum, Goole, and how non-traditional heritage audiences are getting involved.

Carefully designed practical sessions and group activities helped engage and educate delegates, with subjects including tree surveys, creating a trail, practical archaeology, and lessons in oral history.

39 delegates attended the event.
