Wood family of Cowick and Snaith.
My paternal line goes back to (definitely) Joseph Wood b. 1751 at Cowick near Snaith but there have been Wood's in Cowick back to the 16th century. Joseph married Hannah Mapplebeck of Heck at Snaith in 1782.

I obtained important but tragic news about Bernard and his accidental drowning at Keadby in July 1876. I was unable to find out much about Matthew after the birth of my mother and uncle... [more]

My parents, Maurice and Jessie Carroll, ran the White Swan pub at Bubwith from about 1962 to about 1966. There used to be a stable block to the right of the picture which they had demolished and an extension to the pub (just visible in the photo) was built.

Extracts From Rawcliffe & North Humberside books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Rawcliffe, inspired by Frith photos.

Two ancient churches occupy sites in the Old Town: St Mary's in nearby Lowgate, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, shown here with its attendant market stalls. The church stands on the site of an earlier chapel, and was consecrated in around 1425. The fabric contains large areas of the earliest surviving medieval brickwork in England, and it is reputedly the largest parish church, by area, in the country.

This house, according to tradition, was owned and built during the 16th century by the Lister family, who entertained King Charles I here in 1639.
