Yorkshire East Riding VIII - David and Susan Neave
This volume covers seven parishes and some sixteen ancient settlements on the eastern dip-slope of the Yorkshire Wolds. Its rich and varied past extends from the important Iron Age settlements with their well-known chariot burials to the great estate - at its high point one of the largest in England - built up by the Sykes family in the 18th and 19th centuries and centred upon the village of Sledmere. The volume includes a substantial introduction covering the history and archaeology of the area as a whole and analysing the impact of the Sledmere estate on local villages, churches and farmsteads. There are also detailed sections on the landscape and topography, economic, social and religious history of the parishes and their settlements.
The villages covered by the volume are Cowlam, Duggleby, Fimber, Fridaythorpe, Helperthorpe, Kirby Grindalythe, East and West Lutton, Sledmere, Weaverthorpe and Wetwang.

YORKSHIRE WEST RIDING
Dr Brodie Waddell, University of York, is writing a parish history of Brayton, a large rural parish immediately south of Selby.
The ancient parish comprised the townships of Barlow, Brayton, Burn, Gateforth, Hambleton and Thorpe Willoughby, all of which became independent civil parishes in 1866.
These six settlements are spread across a wide area. The parish covered 10,690 a. (4,326 ha.) in 1831, including the two prominent hills of Brayton Barff and Hambleton Hough in the west and a low-lying area along the river Ouse in the east. It is intersected by three main roads to Selby including what are now the A63 from Leeds, the A19 from Doncaster, and the A1041 from Snaith. Two railways and the Selby Canal also run through it.
Near the centre of the parish stands St. Wilfrid’s church, with a Norman tower and fourteenth-century chancel. There is also an eighteenth-century chapel at Barlow.
For centuries, the parish was the site of several fortified manor houses, but Gateforth Hall, a Regency construction, is the only one that remains largely intact.
Until the twentieth-century, the six townships were small and almost entirely agricultural, dominated by Selby Abbey in the Middle Ages and by largely absentee landowners in more recent centuries.
Hambleton had the largest and most economically diverse population throughout most of the parish’s history, but a number of developments – both within this area and nearby – have sparked substantial growth in some of the other settlements. These include the opening of an airship factory in Barlow in the 1910s, an airfield in Burn in the 1940s, the Drax Power Station and Selby Mining Complex in the 1970s, and the increasing popularity of commuting to Leeds and other West Yorkshire towns in more recent decades.
