1 Editor’s Letter

Dear Everyone, May I offer a belated Happy and Healthy New Year to all the resi- dents of Rudston. We are having problems with the printer again, so apologies for the fact that this edition will probably be late. Welcome to anyone who has recently come to live in our lovely village. For those who are keen to be involved in village activities, there is a list of people, whom you can contact on the back page. Thank you to all those people who have sent good wishes on my recovery following a broken ankle. It is a long process, but things are improving. They say that misfortunes come in threes; well I can cer- tainly attest to that. When we returned from a wonderful cruise at the end of October, we realised that I had left my IPad in the cabin. I thought that I wouldn’t see it again, but I am informed that it will be re- turned to me in March...it is at present enjoying its own cruise around the Caribbean. Then followed the afore mentioned break and when I returned from hospital, what should I find in the post, but a speeding fine. ..in over 50 years of driving, I have never so much as incurred a parking fine! Hopefully that is the end of my misfortunes for the time being anyway! It was a shame that the Village Hall Party had to be cancelled, but it did seem that lots of people had previous engagements. The village hall committee have arranged new dates for this and also the Wander Inn, Details in this newsletter. I am pleased to announce that the Reform Theatre Company is returning to Rudston on May 9th, with their latest production. Details are on page 8 I know that people would like to see more entertainment of this kind in the Village Hall. We do try, but we need many people to attend, as costs are quite high for most visiting groups. The Village Hall AGM is on April 21st. It would be good to see lots villagers attend this and telling us what you would like to see at your village hall. I am please to include a piece of writing from Nathan, who at- tends Boynton School. It carries a strong message and I would be pleased to print other writing from youngsters in the village.

The Christmas meeting of the history group was an informal occasion. An interest- ing variety of artefacts was brought along – coins of all eras found by a metal detectorist; a rock from just outside the village showing a geological fault; pen- cils used on school slates, found in someone’s garden, and many others. Everyone enjoyed looking at the different objects and chat- ting about them, and refreshments were served complete with mince pies. A vote of thanks was given to John who organises these fasci- nating meetings, to Ann, Val and Margaret for the refreshments and to anyone who helps. This was met with a very hearty round of ap- plause. At the January meeting Dr Peter Halkon MA FSA, Senior Lec- turer in Archaeology at the University of Hull spoke to a large audi- ence on “Later Prehistoric Landscapes of the Wolds – Re- cent Research” This talk concentrated on the areas of the Wolds escarpment where there are shallow silty soils over chalk, and covered the peri- od from the Bronze Age to the end of the Roman period. New re- search concentrated on three hilltop sites – Kipling House Farm, Nunburnholme Wold and Arras. At Kipling House Farm a geophysical survey confirmed what had been thought, that there had been a Bronze Age ring fort, like that at Thwing. The entrances pointed east. Drones gave an aerial view, showing the condition of the plant growth and this reflected the soil depth and type. Excavation of the site revealed pottery of the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age. Also animal bone, mostly of cattle and pigs. Ev- idence was found of a massive round house, 22 metres across, it appears that a later round house was built on top of the remains of this. This shows that hill forts wee used later than had been previ- ously thought. It is possible that the original round house burnt down. Continued on page 11

4 From page 10 At Nunburnholme Wold square barrows were discov- ered. Geophysical surveying and field walking showed a large open area, surrounded by enclosures. It is possible that this was an area for cattle handling. The presence of Anglo Saxon burials shows that old sites were re used. At the Arras cemetery near many barrows were opened at the time of the original investigation in 1817. Four of the barrows contained remains of a chariot or a cart. In modern times further research was undertaken by Dr Ian Stead and then by Dr Halkon . At in 2017 and 2019 two chariot burials were dis- covered, and for the first time the burials had the horses with the chariots. There are 28 chariot burials in the Yorkshire area, only 2 oth- ers have been found in the UK one in Pembroke and one near Ed- inburgh. There is also a clutch of chariot burials to the north of Paris, which makes us think of links to the Parisii tribe her. Dr Halkon’s talk held the audience spellbound. The February meeting is on Thursday February 27 th at 7pm in the Village Hall. Mr Fred MBE will talk on “The History of Spurn Head” Admission including refreshments is just £2 and everyone is welcome.

10 Boynton Mr L. Fletcher Primary Headteacher School Boynton Primary School

As part of our Global Studies looking at conflict in the world, Class 3 at Boynton School wrote letters to adults explaining why conflict is never the answer. We can all follow the advice of a 10 year old boy and ‘try to solve problems with love and friendship.’

Dear Grownups,

Please stop fighting because if you keep on fighting your children will follow in your footsteps and then the fighting will never stop, then that will be a next generation of fighting. What will your life be if you do not stop fighting and it carries on?

It is OK to have different beliefs. You can still be friends with the other side. Your land and your chil- dren will be better if you put differences to one side. You will be happy, like before the fight began and there was no fussing and we could all be friends. So I ask you to stop fighting and do the right thing.

Why don’t both sides come together to discuss your problems and solve them without fighting, instead try to solve them with love and friendship. Try and com- bine your ideas to make new ones that you will both like. Yours faithfully Nathan 11
