I Was an Evacuee From Hull
My dad was evacuated from the City of Hull at the beginning of the Second World War to firstly the village of Wintringham where he stayed with a Miss Cholmley at Grange Garth with five other evacuees one of whom was his younger brother Alan, he stayed there until Miss Cholmey's untimely death which was very upsetting for him because he loved living with this wonderful lady!
He was then sent to the nearby village of West Heslerton and stayed with several other families there including a Mr & Mrs Wilcocks, Mr & Mrs Stephenson, and Mr & Mrs Milner. My dad made many friends in both villages and loved living in the countryside which was a new experience for a city lad from Hull who until being evacuated had never been outside of Hull let alone to the countyside ! My dad always speaks with great regard of the village people who looked after him and has a great fondness especially for Miss Cholmey who was like... Read more
I Remember ( Well Almost )
Well, Wesley, the famous preacher, preached from my garden, to the populous in about 1763. This was pre-soap days, so I'm sure lots of people turned out. I believe my house was a yeoman's small farm, but has grown from its beginnings in the 15th century. Inside the house shown on the right in one of the photos is still an old 'beehive' bread oven. It has lots of the old features associated with a vernacular house of considerable age. With walls 2 feet thick, it's been here a long time and hopefully, here for a lot more years.
Ancestors
I am currently reasearching my ancestors and have found that my grandmother and her parents lived at 1 Vine Cottages in the late 1800s. I am really interested to know if they are still there. The family name was Spaven. I remember vaguely visiting Snainton as a small child. Alma Farm is in my mind but not sure if that is a true memory. I am going to visit later in the year and look in the churchyard and church records to see if I can get further. My family are very keen for me to do this as when I die they will have no record of their past.
Easter
I used to roll coloured hard boiled eggs on East Heslerton Hill with my sister and cousins on Easter Sunday. When they were all broken we used to have egg sandwiches and our teas at Gran's, who lived at the bottom near the church. When it was the Silver Jubilee we had a great village get-together. We lived at East Heslerton with our gran, grandad and auntie for many happy years.
My Canadian Family Began Here in 1772!
I write from Canada. My ancestor, Thomas Anderson (b. 1745) and his new wife, Mary Blackburn (b. 1748) from Yorkshire sailed to New Brunswick, Canada in 1772 on the Duke of York. My family history has been recorded and kept up to date from this event onward. Although information exists about the family in Canada we have very little knowledge of their history in Britain.
The Mormon Records in York "a register of all christenings, weddings, burials within the Parish of Brompton anno die: 1730..." state on page 34 that Thomas Anderson and Mary Blackburn of Hutton Buscell 23.2 were married in Brompton-by-Sawdon on Feb. 23,1772. I would like to explore the town and find out more about my ancestors.
Udate! In May-June of 2007, my husband and I stayed for a week in Brompton-by-Sawdon at a beautiful cottage called, "The Wood". We explored the area and the local churches looking for Anderson gravestones with not much luck. The local people were so welcoming and invited us into their... Read more
Brompton Hall School And George Caley
Both my wife and myself work at the school. It is a fantastic place to work and live. We are also able to visit the church next door where Wordsworth was married.
Many of the original features of the Caley house are still there and being well looked after.

Brompton Hall School
80's
I'm not sure whether this is the correct place but it looks like Woodlands Road where my grandparents live. My Cousins and myself spent many a school holiday here during the 80's and very early 90's, mainly playing around the Beck at the bottom of the road, and in the adjacent 'playing fields'.
Very happy memories. . . .
