Winn Family
After Thomas Metcalfe who owned Nappa Hall had died it was inherited by the Weddells. The Weddells let Nappa Hall to John Winn christened 1738 Thornton Steward and his wife Elizabeth I'anson (9th generation decendant of Captain John I'anson who fought at Bosworth with Henry Tudor and settled in Hauxwell).

Grandparents Wedding
I have found something that relates to the marriage of my grandparents' wedding on 16th Oct 1900. On the botton it says West Marton so I assume that they were married there in St Peter's Church. I know they had the first 2 of their 10 children there before moving to Escrick near York. But I would love to know where they lived in West Marton. Their names were Francis Edward Digweed and Violet Richardson.
Private School
My late grandma went to a school called Overdale that was based in Settle in the early 1900s. She later married Edward Lord who used to sing. I am trying to find out more of this family, can anyone help?
Can Anyone Help
I am looking for old photos or memories of the Co-op in Settle just before the Second World War. My grandad (who I never met) was the manager of the Co-op before going off to war. His name was Leslie Benson from Willow Wood in Langcliffe near Settle and his name is engraved on the Langcliffe war memorial. He is buried at the Haifa War Cemetary in Haifa, Israel. If any body has any old photos or can remember him I would love to have more information from you
A Lovely Church

Memories of Broughton During The War.
Hi all. My brother and I were evacuated to Skipton in late 1941 from London. As we all sat on the floor in some large hall in Skipton after out trip up from London, people were walking around picking the children they wanted to take home with them. I was one of the last to be 'picked, and went 'home' with a Mrs Locke, she was I believe a nurse, and lived next to the main canal. I attended the Broughton Road Primary School, my brother went off with a nice family somewhere in Skipton, and it took about 6 months before I saw him again. My mother came up and took us out to live with her, we were living at Broughton Hall for about 4 months before moving into a house in the village of Broughton, I loved this place very much and have many memories of the place. We still attended Broughton Road School in Skipton and always caught the school Bus from the Bull Inn on the... Read more
