Nostalgic memories of Warcop's local history

Share your own memories of Warcop and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Head Housemaid

My greatgrandmother was head housemaid at Warcop Hall before she married. The ladies from the Hall made a trip to Niagara Falls and brought her a gift. It is a beautiful purple velvet needlecase embroidered with crystal beads. On the back, in beadwork, it reads "From Niagara Falls." It has been one of my treasures most of my life. She became a Richardson after her marriage and we still have many relatives in the area.

Family

My family lived in Warcop hall for 400 years until my stupid great-great-grandfather William Wild got some army generals drunk and got them to buy the house and all the land. My Aunt Sue (Sue James - now Sharp) was the last person in my family to be born there.
