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
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
Escrick Park Gardens - Market Gardens - 1950 - 1966
My aunt and uncle - Mr and Mrs George Pratt - used to manage the market gardens in Escrick. We had many happy holidays there, and I remember the peaches and apricots growing up the wall, rows and rows of runner beans, greenhouses full of tomatoes and cucumbers etc. They lived in the large house (it could have been a tied or rented house with the job) with 7 of my cousins, who used to work for their father.
My earliest memory is going up on the train and alighting at a small level crossing 'somewhere' (it may have been Saltmarsh) and my grandmother (the only time I remember seeing her) meeting us with other family members. At that time they all lived and worked at Saltmarsh. I still have relatives in the area around York and Wheldrake etc. My grandmother Hannah Richardson nee Gamwell is buried in St Helen's Churchyard, Escrick.
My surname before marriage was Richardson, I can trace my family tree back to 1605 and Mathew Brunyee,... Read more
Playing on The Farm
Sheila nee Till. I was born at Medgehall in 1935 at the farm near the Signal Box, when I was 3 years old we moved to Groves Farm, Chapel Road which was where my grandfather lived, Mr A W Till. lived there until I got married in 1957, so I have a lot of good memories of my childhood days: the Chapel where I went to Sunday School, and swimming in the canal. There used to be a school at Medge Hall, we then to High Level School near Black Bull, a school bus would take us there.
My Grandad Farmed at Medgehall
My grandad was Joseph Witty who farmed at Medgehall, the farmhouse used to be just across the level crossing. I can remember the station master being called Mr Bull, he had a lot of children. My grandad retired in the mid 1960s but we visited every other Saturday, until he retired. I can also remember them getting milk from Till's in the old wide-necked milk bottles, there was always a lot of cream at the top. Grandad was a tenant farmer ,the landowner was Mr Blackburn. Before the brick farmhouse was built, the family lived in a prefabricated bungalow near the peat works. My mother was called Alice. I had two aunts, Joyce and Violet, and an uncle called Clifford. My memories date from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s. My elder brother used to stay and help during school holidays, sadly I was younger and could not be trusted to behave for long. I have a few photographs which I will try and find.
Used to Live Here
My mum and dad ran this pub before we moved to Canada. I have lots of great memories.
Burials at St Mary's
My maternal grandmother was born in Selby. Annie McMenamin ( McManum or various spellings depending on who wrote the name down !) She lived in Hutchinsons Yard, Selby with her mother Catherine, father Michael, sisters Mary, Winifred, Ellen and brother John in the 1881 census.
I remember as a five year old (1953) visiting my great aunts Mary and Ellen in Selby. They had hens in the back yard of the house and my sister and I always got a fresh boiled egg for tea. Great aunt Mary died in her 90s I believe and is buried in St Marys as is great aunt Ellen. Perhaps my great grandfather Michael and great grandma Catherine are also buried there. I have no idea.
Family stories tell of how great aunt Mary and Ellen were spinsters and they used to hide when the rent man came to call.
