Winnville

Winnville opposite Askrigg Post Office was the residence of George Winn and his wife Elizabeth. George was born in 1808 in Nappa Hall Askrigg along with his brothers Richard Metcalfe Winn and John Winn who became the vicar of St Andrews Church in Aysgarth. George followed the family tradition and became a solicitor.
His son William Edmund Metcalfe Winn was born in Winnville in 1845 and followed his father and became a solicitor also. George, as was his father, was one of the four men of Askrigg (a local councillor). Winnville is now the White Rose Hotel.

Great nights out

I had the best nights out of my life in the George Inn after working at Greenfield Estate where I met my late wife Beth Connel.  We married at Hubberholme Church in 1984 and moved to Horton.  The George was full of local characters the landlord Bill Jones lived there with his mum (Mar) and Dad Elise who told you off if you messed with the log fire and made it smoke, a candle always burned on the bar.  The Local Butcher called at 10:30pm and we all bought steak to cook for supper after hours.  Folk singers came from Bradford at the weekends. The beer and company was just great in the 70s.  John Slater.

I married an American and now live in the States but i still go to Starbotton every time i come back to England. We continue to have friends and family living there. It is a sacred spot to me, timeless, and i hope it ...read more here
