More about this scene
Without through traffic, this 1000-year-old village retains its rural traditions and sense of history. A century ago, West Burton was a lively farming village with a market and many shops. The villagers bought the green from the lord of the manor in 1969. In previous centuries West Burton was a busy industrial hamlet of hand knitters, dyers and wool combers.

My great great great grandmother Margaret Wellock was born in this village in 1811. She married Mathew Edward Bywell from Middleham and lived most of her life in West Witton. She later lived in Aysgarth were she died and is buried in the churchyard there. I wonder if there are any Wellocks still living in the village.
