The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records levelled ridge and furrow remains within the buffer zone. The Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the site as modern commercial core- suburban, probably associated with the construction of Moorends mining village in the first half of the 20th century. There is no legibility of the former parliamentary enclosure in this area. In the western part of the buffer, the landscape character comprises land enclosed from commons and drained in 1825, with changes to the layout between 1851 and 1891 in association with the construction of a new warping system.

Recent approvals will help some of Nottinghamshire’s more vulnerable fuel-poor households living in poorly insulated homes. - The £4.3M Warm Homes Hub two-year partnership with EoN and local authority partners means eligible homeowners and tenants (+ 500 houses) will be able to improve the warmth and comfort of their home and benefit from free services such as grid connection and first- time central heating. While halted initially due to COVID-19, the programme is now being rolled out across the County. To date, there has been eight new gas heating system installations with a further 25 households going through the process. In addition, E.ON are planning delivery to a site of 72 Flats - designs are being drawn up for 72 individual gas central heating systems, alongside a complete district heating network. A further 837 households have been supported against the 1,000 households target. An extra £1M (serving an additional 100+ homes at least) was secured for additional measures. - A bid is currently under consideration by Government for an additional £2.3M to facilitate additional energy efficiency measures to more communities under the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery Phase 1B.

  • East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST East Riding Historic Designed Landscapes NESWICK HALL PARKLAND Report by David and Susan Neave May 2013 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Neswick Hall Parkland, Neswick 1.2 Grid reference: SE 975530 1.3 Administrative area: Bainton Civil Parish, East Riding Unitary Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not registered 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST The former parkland of Neswick Hall with its boundary plantations provides a good example of the typical layout of a modest mid-18th century designed landscape. Of particular interest is the restored walled kitchen garden. 3. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE 3.1 Estate owners The Neswick estate was held by the Salvin family of Kilham and Nafferton for two hundred years until it was sold to Thomas Anlaby of Etton in 1613. It descended in the Anlaby family until the death c. 1710 of Matthew Anlaby of Lebberston (North Riding) when the estate was divided between his five daughters. In 1714 Thomas Eyres, a Hull surgeon, husband of one of the heiresses, purchased the other four shares and became sole owner of Neswick. (Neave & Needham, ‘Neswick Hall’, 12) Esther, one of Eyres’ two daughters and eventual heiresses, married Robert Grimston, attorney, of Bridlington. Esther Grimston inherited half the Neswick estate by 1743, then three years later Robert Grimston purchased the other half. On the death of Robert’s grandson John Grimston in 1846 the estate passed in turn to the younger sons of his elder sister Lucy, wife of Sir Robert Wilmot, Bt. When the fourth son John Wilmot (1807-79) succeeded to the estate in 1860 he took the name of Grimston.
