Original Vellum Indenture Written by hand in the 30th Year of the reign of
King Charles the Second PLUS 1774 Vellum
Copy of the Original. Both
written in English and detailing an agreement
between Richard Crossley Yeoman and his son Richard Crossley, with mention of Anthony Crossley,
who I believe was involved in the building of Scaitcliffe Hall in 1666 (now a
hotel). The Crossleys were an important family of Scaitcliffe in Todmorden.
Below some further information. One
family, the Crossleys of Scaitcliffe, has survived, and resisted the
mutations of time; and while every spot around has passed into the possession
of some adventurer in the road to wealth, their estates remain undiminished
in area, acquiring increased value every day from the improvements in
continual progress around them. The Crossleys trace their origin to the Saxon
eras and, on a stained glass in the hall window is the following inscription
upon a scroll that encloses the family-arms: "The kingdom of East
Saxons," probably of the East Angles, for there is another ancient coat
of arms here, also on stained glass, marked with the initials E. A. The first
member of this family, mentioned in history or in accessible records, is
"Adam del Crosleigh de Todmordene in Viii de Hlornerresfeld in the
County Palatine of Lancaster, and Matilda his wife but this document is
without date, and can hardly be earlier than the reign of Edward III. when
the county was first made palatine. The next is John del Croslegh of
Todmordene, 30 Edward III. anno dom. 1365 "Of this family, John
Crossley, of Scaitcliffe, Esq., is the representative; and, of all the
ancient families in the parish of Source:

This is
a intreging find, i am no expert so i will try to describe the best i can, the
bible measures when closed 5 and a half inches tall, 3 inches wide, 1 and a
half inches deep, bound in leather, not sure of the date but dates include
1713,but could easaly be earlier, extremely old item. leather is a bit poor
and i think the bible could have been near a fire because the edges seem to
be burnt, can not tell if all the pages are there,no title page,and some are
torn and ripped, although very poor condition, the bible is very very old.
The inscription reads "Askwith November ye 16 day 1713. FINIS Jane
Askwith ..m 24 of October 1714" From the IGI, almost all the Jane
Askwiths at this time were baptised in |

on 1st January 1779 and still exists today. It was built as a place for
handloom weavers to sell their pieces of cloth, hence it was also called
Piece Hall. In 1928 the Piece Hall was officially recognised as an ancient
monument but it was not until 1972 that the decision was made to improve the
building. It was saved from the alternative - demolition - by one vote. The
original 300 shops were rationalised into larger retail spaces more suited to
modern conditions; when full, the Piece Hall will house over 50 small retail
shops. Size. The document is approx. 23" wide x 15" high.
Condition. Some fading on verso but otherwise in excellent condition with the

AN
EARLY VICTORIAN MATHEMATICS SCHOOL EXERCISE BOOK - 1846 This is a 90 leaf /
180 page hardback mathematics school exercise book dated 5th October 1846 and
inscribed "John Lincoln, National School, Enterpen". When closed the book measures 192mm X 242mm
X 18mm. Every page of this early Victorian manuscript has been immaculately
handwritten in copperplate text with such precision that any calligrapher
would recognise this work as being of a very high standard. The handwritten contents cover various
rules of mathematics written out long hand showing many worked problems and
examples with very fine geometrical illustrative diagrams. The majority of
the work is in black ink though the author has highlighted the work
throughout with blue and red ink.
There appears to be no pencil work at all. The quality of the paper remains excellent,
pages being a clean white with no age spots. The book itself is in excellent
condition. The bindings are sound and
all pages are intact and unmarked.
There is a small amount of scuffing on the spine which is only to be
expected after 158 years. This note book must have taken months if not years
of painstaking work to complete when you consider that there appear to be no
corrections anywhere in the 180 pages
of text. This item would be of tremendous interest to anyone involved in the
study or teaching of mathematics and anyone with an interest in calligraphy
and original Victorian manuscripts. Background
on Enterpen, National Schools and John Lincoln I have
found the following reference from a transcript dated 1868 which confirms
that Enterpen was the name given to part of Hutton Rudby in North Yorkshire
and that there was a National School established there in 1836. "HUTTON
RUDBY, a township in the parish of Rudby, W. division of the liberty of
Langbaurgh, North Riding county York, 4 miles S.W. of Stokesley, and 6 S. of
Yarm. It is situated near the river Leaven, the banks of which have an almost
perpendicular ascent from the water's edge.
Here are large linen factories, which employ a great number of the
inhabitants. A portion of this
township goes by the name of Enterpen.
The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have each a place of
worship. To the former is attached a
school. There is a National School,
erected in 1836." The
National Schools Society was founded by the Church of England in 1811 to
promote the education of the poor with a curriculum centred around Anglican
teachings. A transcript of North Riding Land owners dated 1871 refers to a
John Lincoln in the nearby village of Appleton Whiske who is said to have
owned 140 acres and 3 perches of land with a gross estimated rental of
£155. It would seem that the education
of Mr Lincoln served him well! |
