North Yorkshire memories
Chilhood Memories of Sancton And Arras Wold Farm
My memories of Sancton are happy childhood ones, my grandmother lived here from 1901 and when she moved to Leeds many years later I was taken back to Sancton to visit my aunt and uncle Albert and Mary Lund who lived at Arras Wold and worked on the farm there for all their working lives. The countryside was beautiful and my best memories are of there as I loved all the animals that were on the farm. My aunt knew all the local people whom we visited regulary while I was there and we always walked into the village of Sancton as lots of friends still lived there. My aunt and uncle were married at All Saints' Church there and when sadly they died (my aunt in Dec 1991 and uncle 3 months later in Mar 1992) they were both buried at All Saints' Church. I still go occasionaly and visit Sancton, it's a beautiful little village and I reminisce of my time spent there when I was a child.... Read more
The West Family
Research into my family history took me and my father to the beautiful villages of Bulmer and Eddlethorpe. It was a very moving experience to see my great-great-great-grandfather's headstone, William West, who my own father is named after. He was a schoolmaster in Bulmer and was originally from Eddlethorpe. I believe his father may also have been a schoolmaster in Eddlethorpe. I would dearly love to trace any living relatives or know more about the West family.
Happy Days at Kirkham Abbey
I lived at Kirkham Abbey in a little bungalow called Sunny Side. It is no longer there now as it was pulled down. It was situated where the carpark now is for The Stone Trough. My mother and father in law lived in The Bungalows. He, Ernest James Cook, was the butler for Mrs Brotherton at Kirkham Hall. Mr Robert Hall and his wife lived and farmed there and Mr Eric Batty was station master and lived in the railway cottages. The Stone Trough wasn't a pubin those days, it was the home of Ernest Hepton. He had a garage at Whitwell on the hill. Long before I was married I used to spend a lot of time with Anne Cook who was to be come my sister in law. As children we used to play in the grounds of the abbey ruins (after the man had gone home) We swam in the river and fished in the cut and walked in the fields and... Read more
Grandparents in Service at Kirkham Hall
Both my grandparents were in service at Kirkham Hall in the 1920s and 30s. My Grandma, Annie Morris, originally from Newcastle, joined her Aunt Annie (who was cook) there when she was in her teens and started as a scullery maid and later progressed to work "upstairs". My Grandad, Albert French, came orginally from the Yorkshire Dales, and worked at the Hall as a footman. His brother was also a footman at the Hall. We have a photograph of Grandad and other staff from the Hall holding a wreath that we think was for Lord Brotherton's funeral, maybe in the early 1930s. Grandma and Grandad met at Kirkham Hall in the early 1930s and although she then worked elsewhere, they married in 1938, living first in Welburn and then, for many years in Whitwell-on-the-Hill. Grandma ran the post office there and Grandad was the postman. One very cold winter in the late 1940s Grandad broke his hip falling off his bike in the snow on Kirkham Bank, waiting many hours...

Bungalow Farm Hull Road North Newbald
My husband, Bill Carr & I moved to Bungalow Farm with two of our sons, Michael & James, in August 1984 from Market place South Cave. Denis, our eldest son had bought a cottage in Broomfleet with a girlfriend, and moved there about the same time. Bungalow Farm is situated high on the hill one mile out of North Newbald village and one mile approximately the other way from High Hunsley crossroads, towards Beverley. It is a smallholding with buildings and a 5-bay dutch barn, which unfortunately blew down in the severe gales of Christmas 1997. When we moved there we had a Jersey cow called Daisy, who had a gentle nature and was very playful, especially with our collie dog, they used to play chase-me all around the field, until they were both worn out and then they would lay together in the field in the sunshine. We also had a few goats and chickens at that time too. We kept... Read more
Happy Days
I have happy memories of going down to the swing bridge in the school holidays when we visited our grandma in Huttons Ambo, long summer days going down to Leamans' shop for a block of ice cream and running back up the hill before it melted. Grandma Allen lived at Wolds View Cottages, we would go with her to clean the church and would play in the churchyard till she was ready. She seemed to always to be cleaning for people, she was widowed and lived there with our uncle Steve, he would take us up and down the lane on his tractor. Went to the school there for a while in 1955 when our mother was ill, Mrs Ronald was the school mistress and lived two doors away from Grandma's. Lovely little village which has not changed, and so reminds me so much of my childhood whenever I go back.
