It was granted a market charter in the 12th century, which allowed it to hold weekly markets and annual fairs. The town grew in prosperity and became known for its agricultural produce, particularly its cheese and butter.
In the 19th century, Sherburn in Elmet underwent significant industrial development with the construction of railway lines, which facilitated the transportation of goods and people. The town became a

SWILLINGTON: Leeds Parish #10 of 38
Historically the full title for today’s offering in Leeds included “-in-Elmet”, which refers to the association of the village with the region of Elmet which we’ve met previously. However, as with many other places the -in-Elmet has been lost in modern times with only a few exceptions such as Barwick-in-Elmet and Sherburn-in-Elmet surviving.
While some residents commute to the nearby cities of Leeds and Wakefield or the larger towns of Garforth or Rothwell many are able to make their livelihood here. The Astley Lane Industrial estate provides a good number of jobs in many different fields of industry and almost certainly, the village's biggest employer is the multinational, award winning, specialist lubricants manufacturer, Rocol.
It was once a coal mining village, though the pits were worked out and closed, some years before the industry itself was all but destroyed. There was also a brickworks, Hansons, which is now abandoned. Several streets are named after Sir John Lowther, better known as Lord Lowther, an English landowner and Member of Parliament.
Both Lord and Lady Lowther are buried in the graveyard of St Mary's Church, and speaking of the church, have you ever wondered why confetti is thrown at weddings? Thomas Dealtry, rector from 1872–1878, is credited with having introduced the habit of throwing confetti, from his observation of rice thrown at Hindu weddings in his previous position as Archdeacon of Madras
There’s the second most Northerly vineyard in the UK here too and for some strange reason, the boundaries include Woodlesford Lock. Otherwise the unparished area of Woodlesford lies to the South of the village of SWILLINGTON.

UK: Morpeth, Arriva Trains Northern Class 142 'Pacer' entering sidings after arrival from Newcastle
UK: At Morpeth, a Class 142 'Pacer' DMU (number 142018) is seen entering the sidings after arrival on the 1314 from Newcastle. Recorded 29th March 2003.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Morpeth is a historic market town in Northumberland, north-east England, lying on the River Wansbeck. Nearby villages include Mitford and Pegswood. In the 2011 census, the population of Morpeth was given as 14,017, up from 13,833 in the 2001 census.
Morpeth, archaically spelt Morepath, is recorded in the Assize Rolls of Northumberland of 1256 as Morpath and Morthpath. The meaning is uncertain; moor path has been suggested in reference to its historical position on the main road from England to Scotland, whilst the marshes around the modern-day Carlisle Park have been suggested to be the moor in question. There is, however, a local tradition which holds that the name derives from the Old English pre-7th-century compound morð-pæð or Morthpaeth (murder path) in remembrance of some forgotten slaying on the road.[ This meaning has been suggested to be fanciful by some sources.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The British Rail Class 142 is a class of Pacer diesel multiple-unit passenger trains used in the United Kingdom. 96 units were built by British Rail Engineering Limited's Derby Litchurch Lane Works between 1985 and 1987. They were a development of the earlier Class 141 which were introduced in 1984.
They were initially built for use on rural branch lines. As at May 2018, Arriva Trains Wales operate fifteen units and Northern 79 units. All will be withdrawn by December 2019.
The unit's body is based on that of the original Leyland National bus, and many fixtures and fittings of the bus can be found on the units. Each unit has a seating capacity of any number between 102and 121 passengers per two-car set. In theory there should be 106 or 121 seats per unit. However, many units have had seats removed to provide additional space for wheelchair access.[citation needed] The same engines and mechanical transmissions were used as on Class 141, as also the same double-folding external doors. Each car has a fuel capacity of 125 gallons.
All 94 Class 142s will be withdrawn by December 2019, as they do not comply with the Persons of Reduced Mobility Technical Specification for Interoperability (PRM-TSI).
Bidders for the Northern franchise that commenced in April 2016 were required to order new DMUs and take on Sprinters and Turbostars released by other franchises as replacement. The Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy for the Rail Industry indicates up to 500 non-electric carriages will need to be built in the short term. Northern withdrawals are scheduled to commence in November 2018 with the last to be removed from traffic in October 2019.
New Wales & Borders franchise holder KeolisAmey Wales will replace all of its Class 142s by December 2019.

MICKLEFIELD: Leeds Parish #15 of 38
There have been lots of new builds in this place in recent years, and given it stands on a railway line, and has its own railway station, this is a desirable location. It is a village of two halves linked by the old Great North Road. Housing in general consists mainly of late 19th century/early 20th century terraced cottages built for miners although there are some larger pre-war semi-detached houses too.
The name is derived from Old English and it means “Great Field”, and is listed in a Royal Charter of 963 AD which makes it one of a very special set of Yorkshire townships. That’s because due to that fact, it has a recorded history older than that of the Domesday Survey in 1086. It’s believed to have been settled as early as 620AD
Prior to this it lay in the Kingdom of Elmet. Crop marks in the area, the proximity of a Roman Road and earthworks at nearby Castle Hills suggest it might have been here in Romano-British times. The main road through the village was an ancient north/south trade route. The main road regained its importance during the Tudor Era and became the Great North Road turnpike in 1741.The village’s only pub honours the Blands family who were Lords of the Manor from 1600 to the 1920s and sole landowners from 1750 to 1830.
This is an area of Leeds that has been a site of coal mining since the 13th century. Owing to it having one of the nearest collieries to the new Selby Coalfield, the workforce was amongst the first to have the offer of relocation to Selby on the pits closure in 1980. With mining now gone, Hook Moor Wind Farm is the newest site of industry and you can see the wind turbines from pretty much anywhere in the village
If you live here you’re either from the North (OId) or the South (New) – but both halves are undoubtedly MICKLEFIELD.

STEETON: Selby Parish #42 of 74
We start this video off by driving along the A64 from Tadcaster, heading in a Northeasterly direction towards a road called the Old Street which is off to the left. It’s one of those places which you would barely know the existence of and there’s a good reason for that. You see, the modern day settlement is nothing like what it once was.
Within the modern day boundaries is a deserted medieval village that was thought to have been depopulated except for the Fairfax family by about 1485. The remains of the centre of the village were destroyed in the early 16th century by the construction of a pond. There are no visible remains.
Despite the presence of the A64, this remains a rural area, and farm traffic does use this road. In the UK, farm traffic cannot use motorways, but the A64 is not classified as one. The new Bilbrough Top Flyover which I drive over, opened in February 2005. The new link road includes a number of unused farm accesses, suggesting there is an aspiration to develop more of the land here.
The Hall should not be confused with a hall of the same name in Keighley in West Yorkshire. That hall is much larger and is used for all sorts of events. This one is used quite differently. It was a manor house built for Sir Guy Fairfax in around 1474. At the beginning of the 18th century the hall was partly demolished, leaving the range that is still in use as a farmhouse. In 1873, the chapel was also demolished. A private chapel, it was supposedly consecrated by Archbishop Rotherham in 1477. Much of the stone was reused after demolition to build the south side of Bilborough church.
With only 27 people here, this is one of the smallest in Selby – but it’s not THE smallest – that is still to come. Here is STEETON.

Track Machines and Sheds at Sherburn-in-Elmet Station
Video created by Northumberland Snapper:
Please remember to subscribe if you like our videos.
Filmed on 26th July 2022.
Sherburn-in-Elmet is a small station a couple of miles to the south of Church Fenton. It is served by one train per hour in each direction between York and Hull, with some trains originating or terminating a bit further up the coast at Bridlington.
If you look at the timetable Sherburn has a good variety of freight workings, but of course most of these do not run every day. The station is pretty isolated and difficult to get to, but it does afford good views of approaching trains in each direction.
I observed the passage of the following trains:
- 6J37, the 1040 from Darlington Down Sidings to Wakefield Kirkgate S&Te. This was operated by VolkerRail's DR75303.
- 0D45, the 1104 Tyne S.S. to Leeds Balm Rd Loco (Fhh). This was operated by Freightliner's 66529 running as a light engine.
- 6J74, the 1000 from Milford Down Sidings to Doncaster District C.E. Sidings. This was operated by VolkerRail's DR73946.
- 6E97, the 1044 New Biggin British Gypsum to Tees Dock Bsc Export Berth. This was operated by DB Cargo's 66083.

All Saints Church Sherburn in Elmet - Heritage Open Day
Please join me for a look around this historic Church and let me take you up the Bell Tower. In conjunction with English Heritage the Church was holding a special Open Day.
The Piano playing is by my relative and a gentleman in the Church very kindly played the organ for me. Unfortunately there was some other noise going on in the background to start with but the organ sounded great reverberating around the Church.
Here is some info ....
Taken from a new guide, based on the pamphlet by R E England of 1931, but now fully updated by Paul Reid and Ken Stott..........
The Janus Cross ............
This beautiful and extremely rare piece of 15th century sculpture was found in the ruins of the Chapel to St Mary and All Holy Angels, which once stood in the south-east corner of the churchyard and was by all accounts a sumptuously appointed shrine.We must be grateful that the Janus Cross survived with only the loss of its base and plinth.
The Janus Cross is so called because, like the
Roman god of doorways, it has near-identical
images carved on each side, being originally
carved as a single piece. An ownership
dispute between vicar and churchwarden ( 1886)
was settled by the cross being sawn vertically
into two halves. The churchwarden took 'his'
half away to Steeton Hall, where the niche
where it hung is still clearly visible, while the
other half remained in the church. It must have been returned to the church a few years later. This half of the Cross has clearly suffered from exposure to the elements during its time at Steeton.
Both halves of the cross show Jesus crucified with the Virgin and St John, together with emblems of the Passion. Even in its present state, the Janus Cross, with its wealth of pictorial and architectural details and its all-round symmetry, is a fascinating and moving artefact.
Those of all faiths and none can enjoy this church for it's fine architectural and artistic creation. This church has been a focus for Christian worship for at least 1000 years.
People are often pleasantly surprised to find such a magnificent church at Sherburn in Elmet .
When Athelstan (c. 895-939), first King of all England, defeated the Danes at Brunanburg in 938, he gave the manors of Sherburn and Cawood to the Archbishop of York as a thank-offering. Sherburn became a seat of the archbishops of York from this time until the middle of the 14th century. This explains the ecclesiastical importance and relative wealth of the original church and the exceptional size of the present church for its period.
There is clear evidence that the Saxon church which preceded the present building was a building of exceptional significance for its time.
An unusual feature of the Norman church is that it had aisles of equal width; a Norman church planned with aisles from the outset is a rarity in Yorkshire. Not only this, but the aisles were unusually wide for a Norman church. Since then, however, the south aisle has been widened (probably in the 15th century) and is now half as wide again as the north aisle.
In the 14th or 15th centuries, the wall was raised and the present windows inserted. The apse was replaced by a square-ended extension which formed a chantry chapel.
The lower stages of the TOWER date from 1180-1200 but, as extra weight was added, it proved too much, and heavy
buttressing was necessary, both outside and inside the church.The tower opens into the nave and aisles by rounded arches, which enclose a cross vault carried on chamfered diagonal
ribs. There is a round-headed window in Norman style which opens into the ringing chamber, enabling the ringers to follow the course of the services.
The church has eight bells . Bell 1 and 2
were cast in 1897, the year of Queen
Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. No. 3 was
cast in 1878, the gift of William Day of
Eversley Garth.The remaining bells have Latin inscriptions and are dated 1750. Two at least are by E Sellar of York.
In 2003 the new Bellringers Window glass was installed in
the westernmost window of the south aisle. The
brilliant stained glass in this window, celebrating
bellringing through the ages, was commissioned and
paid for by the ringers of this church.

SOUTH MILFORD: Selby Parish #63 of 74
SELBY PARISH #63: SOUTH MILFORD
South Milford is located directly to the South of Sherburn in Elmet in the district of Selby, almost seamlessly conjoined to its much larger neighbour
It hasn’t always been that way. Traditionally an agricultural village, much like Sherburn, the population has recently boomed due to housing development.
South Milford is now generally considered a commuter village for nearby towns and cities because of the local motorway network, which includes the A1(M), M1 and M62.
Teasels used to be grown here. They were important to the textile trades. They’re like natural combs and they were used to raise the nap on fabrics. Some people still use them today believe it or not!
You may recall the Kirkby Wharfe with North Milford episode where we mentioned the name. Milford literally means the ford by the mill. South of course implies there were two crossings
The watercourse is question is the Mill Dyke, which separates South Milford from Sherburn forming much of - but not all of - the parish boundary between the two.
That’s why South Milford station is actually in Sherburn. South Milford’s proudest local event is a large firework display and bonfire each November. The event has been running for some 25 years.
Let’s see what else the village has to be proud about!

We look forward to being able to invite you back again before too long.
ABERFORD: Leeds Parish #4 of 38
On the Eastern outskirts of the City of Leeds is a very historic village whose growth has historically been along its main road, and the village has therefore developed that linear, rather than nucleated profile. It’s proximity to the A1 is no fluke either. As we’ve learnt countless times before, the A1 is the modern route of the Great North Road.
This is yet another village which the road used to pass through. It was where the Great North Road crossed over the Cock River. No longer termed a river, it’s now reduced in volume and has been renamed Cock Beck. It was also the midway point between London and Edinburgh, being around 200 miles distant from each city until the construction of the A1(M) motorway bypass starting at Hook Moor.
Whilst a village in its own right, it’s split between three civil parishes. That’s why not everything within the village will be in this video. Don’t worry though, the bits that aren’t will feature in future episodes. Much of the village was formerly owned by Oriel College, Oxford, which also received tithes from here. There used to be a tithe barn here which is now a school.
This is a settlement considered a place of special architectural and historic interest with quite a few notable buildings. Some of them are listed structures, like for example, The Gascoigne Almshouses, but keep in mind this is a three part series for a reason, and the Almshouses fall over the boundary into one of the other two civil parishes here.
The name comes from the Old English woman's name “Ēadburg” and ford, which, then as now, meant “ford”. These days we know it as ABERFORD.

LITTLE FENTON: Selby Parish #30 of 74
This one is classified as a hamlet and lies to the south of the much bigger Church Fenton. The settlement is still its own civil parish, situated about 11 miles from York, in the Selby District, in the county of North Yorkshire. In 2001 the parish had a population of 87, and little has changed in the twenty years since that census took place. In the 19th century however, it recorded a population of 113.
If you so desired, you could walk to Church Fenton from here using a footpath across the fields. I found this to be everything a small rural hamlet should be. It’s well out of the way and peaceful, minding its own business with pretty much no distractions.
It has two main roads, these being Biggin Lane and Sweeming Lane, which both have properties large and small, and a couple of farms. The average house here is pricey, at £551,000, but with very few properties to speak of, remember that figure will be skewed greatly.
There does appear to be some very old and historic buildings in the hamlet. Most notably, these include the manor house and a building named The Granary, implying that one was located here in the past which has now been converted to a private property
To get here by bus you’ll need to come on a Monday. That’s the only day one will turn up at the solitary bus stop here in LITTLE FENTON.

BARKSTON ASH: Selby Parish #32 of 74
This village dates back to at least 1090, when it was spelled Barcestone. Now part of Selby district, the village previously gave its name to a former wapentake. The Ash part of the name comes from a large ash tree said to be at the approximate centre of the ancient county of Yorkshire, where meetings for the wapentake would be held.
Undoubtedly a very pretty village, there are three 17th to 19th century stone Grade II listed building houses near the junction of Main Street and Church Street. These are Laurel Farm, Barkston House, and Turpin Hall Farm. It’s early founders are likely to have been Scandinavian in origin.
As a village with a history that spans more than one millennium, it lived through both the Wars of the Roses, featuring the Battle of Towton, fought on 29th March 1461, and the English Civil War in the 1640s. The village seems to have escaped without too much change as it moved into the 19th and 20th centuries.
What is now the A162 London Road was a turnpike constructed in 1769: the Main Street and the major part of the village goes East from the junction with this, and that’s where you can find the ash tree, but it’s not the original. A section of the original tree was kept and is still available to see.
Legend has it that anyone who spits at the tree will be struck by lightning a year and a day later, so if you come here, be careful! This is BARKSTON ASH.

6233 Duchess of Sutherland and 60103 Flying Scotsman heading for Bristol and Stratford - 30/10/2021
Saturday the 30th of October saw two of the finest steam locomotives in Britain heading to Bristol and Stratford Upon Avon respectively. 6233 Duchess of Sutherland was in charge of The Midland Bristolian from Tyseley to Bristol via Derby and Cheltenham. The train started at Tyseley however the diesel took the train and the Duchess all the way up to Derby before Duchess of Sutherland took the helm from Derby all the way down to Bristol. The return trip followed a similar plan, with Duchess of Sutherland heading from Bristol back to derby before the diesel takes the whole train back to Tyseley later that night. 60103 Flying Scotsman on the other hand had a whole run to herself on the Starford flyer from Manchester Piccadilly to the historic Stratford upon Avon, the birthplace of the great William Shakespeare.
I decided to start with the Duchess at Tibberton between Bromsgrove and Worcester. It's pretty rare to see steam along the stretch of the line avoiding Worcester, particularly in the morning. Duchess of Sutherland was running slightly late due to a late running train that was sue to overtake her near Bromsgrove. However, she looked spectacular in the glorious autumn sunshine as the Duchess glided majestically around the long bend at Tibberton making it an amazing sight.
Afterwards, I made a quick drive to Wilmcote to get Flying Scotsman on the approach to Stratford upon Avon. Due to the traffic being slower than expected, I arrived with just 15 minutes to spare and managed to get a spot at the foot crossing just before Wilmcote Station. The crossing wasn't as busy as I thought it would be and managed to get a good spot and got ready just in time. Flying Scotsman put in a great show as she sounded superb and a nice whistle from the crew capped it off. Even though the sun had gone in the clouds and then reappeared after the train passed, it was still an amazing shot.
Afterwards, was a drive to Lapworth Station to get Flying Scotsman hauling the Empty Coaching Stock to Dorridge where she would take on water and coal ready for the return trip. The engine sounded okay, but nothing compared to the earlier run at WILmcote. I expected the engine to be going pretty fast through the station, but unfortunately, it wasn't to be, but at least the diesel didn't do much and judging by the return leg that evening, it looked like nothing was wrong with her that day.
I decided for the return journey to head back down to the Bristol area, to get Duchess of Sutherland leaving Bristol in the last rays of sunlight before darkness creeps in. I decided to head to Ashley Down at the bottom of Filton Bank to get the Duchess roaring up the steep 1 in 75 gradient to the summit at Filton. I thought about going to the Lickey Incline, but the times of the tour meant that it would have been dark and with a diesel on the back giving full assistance, I decided against that idea which turned out to be the correct decision. Despite the light not being great, it was just enough to see Duchess of Sutherland powering away from Bristol ready to start the fierce climb of Filton Bank. She sounded really nice, and the diesel sounded like it didn't do much help, although the diesel might have pushed her up the bank after the train was gone from view. It was still a really good spectacle nevertheless.
Here are the shots in chronological order:
00:00 - 46233 Duchess of Sutherland - Tibberton
01:43 - 60103 Flying Scotsman - Wilmcote Foot Crossing
02:50 - 60103 Flying Scotsman - Lapworth Station
04:19 - 46233 Duchess of Sutherland - Ashley Down (Filton Bank)

Northern Belle - Great British Sunday Lunch (York - Hull)
Video created by Northumberland Snapper:

Filmed on 24th July 2022.
After a week of intense heat it's back down to earth with a bump today, as it absolutely poured down on the Northern Belle Great British Sunday Lunch railtour between York and Hull.
The sun was peeking through the clouds when train 5Z70, the tour's empty stock, arrived into York platform 5 a few minutes ahead of time. West Coast Railway's locomotives 47815 Great Western and 47826 topped and tailed a rake of 11 immaculately presented mark 1 Pullman coaches.
After gathering its passengers train 1Z70, with 47815 Great Western in the lead, drew out of the station accompanied by an impressive fanfare of tones and spurting clouds of black clag. The young enthusiasts stood alongside could barely contain their excitement with one exclaiming that's sexy!
The train then headed across to Leeds and Wakefield, before doubling back towards its final destination of Hull. The circuitous route gave me plenty of time to reposition to Selby, where train 1Z70 was to be held for 10 minutes awaiting the passage of a local service.
Having started from a halt only a few hundred yards earlier, the train trundled through Selby at quite a leisurely pace, the joined rails and planks of the swing bridge rattling in tune as it passed over.
With the rain now hammering down a change of plan was required. My initial thought was to travel to Sherburn-in-Elmet or Church Fenton as see train 1Z71, the return leg, as it travelled back to York. If I'd done this I could have got two more shots of the train.
Instead, common sense prevailing, I decided to finish off in the relative shelter of York Station. Train 1Z71 drew into platform 11 before the crew changed ends and took it onwards towards Leeds and Wakefield.
