This account shares research from an ongoing #OnePlaceStudy of #Rillington #Scampston, exploring how national change shaped ordinary lives in the mid C19. Through records, land & family history, it traces continuity, disruption, & resilience at a local level. History often hides in plain sight.

Highlighting the fantastic work of Joe Saunders and his strong case for using title deeds for *everything*! If you’re working on a village history (like me, in the parish of #Rillington and its chapelry of Scampston), you’ll find this especially relevant. #OnePlaceWednesday
Two very different memorials about the same man. Dr John Simpson, later Hudleston, was a major landowner in #Rillington & also the man behind the infamous #Knaresborough Castle Yard Riot of 1865–6.
Left his mark in both places I’ve called home. Was he always calling out to me? #OnePlaceWednesday
Every now a then a previously unknown book surfaces that’s exactly what’s needed for my #IHGSLicentiate research. This could not be more timely as landowners played a vital part in the mid C19 during the coming of the railway. Lucky me! @ihgs.bsky.social #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday #LocalHistory
Tindall Bowman, Station Master is the gift that keeps on giving in my @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate study of the #railway in #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday A key player (musician) also - see what I did there?
An old sepia photograph of Station Master Tindall Bowman in his L.N.E.R. uniform. We see the top part of his body; he is sitting in a chair, body facing towards the left and slightly towards us, with his head turned so that he looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a cap with 'LNER' on the front of it, a jacket, and a bow tie. He has a moustache, neatly-trimmed beard, and sideburns.
In 2018 our members rose to the A to Z Blogging Challenge by writing on the theme of People of My Place. Pam Smith @genejean.bsky.social wrote about Tindall Bowman of Rillington, North Yorkshire, who was Station Master in Pam’s Rillington #OnePlaceStudy for 18 years. #Railway200
Delighted to return to @familyhistpod.bsky.social!
Andrew & I discuss the IHGS Licentiate, #GingerGoodwin & how I solved my brick wall on Sir Richard Etherington in #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy
I was one of the first guests back in Series 1 & the first to take part in the Brick Dust series.

A useful website for #OnePlaceVoices on #OnePlaceWednesday found a super entry for #Rillington here.

Special Collections, Brotherton Library @leedslibraries.bsky.social holds recordings of #Rillington dialect focussing on farming, feast, Foresters’ & Shepherds’ clubs & anecdotes. Here is one of several. explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-coll... #OnePlaceWednesday
So many knowledgeable people in different places have helped me progress this week. Grateful thanks to @thegenealogist.bsky.social @uoyborthwick.bsky.social @leedslibraries.bsky.social #OnePlaceWednesday #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday 🚂
Yes can report a tea dealer and a Temperance Society in #Rillington. Needed the latter with all the inns!
Tying up loose ends between the connection to Rillington Place and #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday The eagle-eyed will spot two familiar street names in The Godfrey Edition of Notting Hill 1914 which reveal more clues. Writing up a narrative of the connected landowners. @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate
Special Collections at the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds is my favourite. It is where a descendant of the Lord of the Manor of #Rillington deposited manorial documents. It's a wondrous place for anyone with #Yorkshire Ancestors. #OnePlaceWednesday library.leeds.ac.uk/info/1500/sp...
Going back to basics at #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday intensely categorising the 1841-1851-1861 census. Pondering why the PRs are bursting with marriages, yet there are more unmarried people. Also the role of women in the patriarchal society at the time. More questions than answers at the moment.
These well-thumbed #books formed the basis of #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy and continue to provide answers to current questions. #WorldBookDay
Unbelievable! Just found the ‘missing’ part of Scampston 1861 census in Southwark!!! Reported the error to the ‘provider.’ never too old to experience the YES moment. Scampston is part of #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy. The two villages are inseparable. #OnePlaceWednesday

Wishing all who find this page a Happy Christmas from #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy May you find peace and contentment during the next few days and beyond. 🎄
Arrival of YNM #railway in 1845 #Rillington wasn’t just a change in transport but the birth of a whole new industry. Workers arrived from varied backgrounds: druggist, ostler, schoolmaster, bonesetter, labourer, porter reshaping community & opportunity. #OnePlaceWednesday @rwldproject.bsky.social
Was #Rillington fun? Not sure! In 1865 The Malton Gazette reported “It was the scene of great rejoicing, QUITE UNUSUAL HERE, even at this season of the year. Rev & Mrs McDowall entertained 20 widows & old men on Christmas Day with roast beef, plum pudding + a sum of money.” #OnePlaceEntertainment
#HelloWorld Welcome to followers old and new! You’ll find me here on #OnePlaceWednesday sharing snippets from my #LocalHistory project at #Rillington #NorthYorkshire It feels like past inhabitants are my own family as I discover more about how their lives were affected by change during the ages.
In 1821, #Rillington was central to a Gilbert Union which inc. up to 50 parishes. Many local & a large number of offcumden spinsters & their children born in the ‘poorhouse’ were included in the parish registers. Spare a thought for George Cordukes bap. 26 Oct 1823. #OnePlaceWednesday #LocalHistory
Examining the installation of water supply is a practical way of understanding how our ancestors lived. c.1910, piped water replaced 50 private wells in #Rillington. The long overdue sewer was installed in 1954. Before then, the Rill (stream) was used… it was known as ‘Beck Soup’ #OnePlaceWednesday
An #AATP24 catch-up on #OnePlaceWednesday! Pam Smith offers a different approach to researching a #OnePlaceStudy as she looks at the origins of #Rillington, North Yorkshire and considers why early settlers were first attracted to a place.

20-21 April 2024. The Historical #Rillington Study Group will share their research at #Scampston Community weekend, hosted by The Bothies. You’ll find us in The Conservatory, Scampston Walled Garden. #OnePlaceWednesday #LocalHistory #FamilyHistory
