Welburn is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, in England, 2 miles south west of Kirkbymoorside and about 24 miles from York. The population of the parish was estimated at 60 in 2012. The civil parish includes the lower part of Kirkdale, including Kirkdale Cave and the parish church of St Gregory's Minster, both about north of the village. The Slingsby Aviation works and airstrip lie south-east of the village. Welburn was historically a township in the parish of Kirkdale and became a civil parish in 1866. In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Welburn like this: :"WELBURN, a township in Kirkdale parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 5 miles E of Helmsley. Acres, 1,582. Real property, £2,846. Pop., 121. Houses, 20." == Welburn Hall == Built during the 17th century, Welburn Hall was originally a lath and plaster structure, becoming the home of the Strangeway family. A following owner, Sir John Gibson, High Sheriff of Yorkshire (1630–31), built a substantial stone addition to the original building. The Hall again passed to new owners by way of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Thomas Robinson Esquire of Welburn who married Rev. Digby Cayley . Their three daughters and co-heiresses married into the families of Rev. Francis Wrangham, Archdeacon of Cleveland, Thomas Smith, M.D., and Rev. Arthur Cayley, rector of Normanby, who were in possession in 1824.〔Bulmer 1890, ‘History and Directory of North Yorkshire’.〕 Mrs. Wrangham held the manor in 1857 followed by William Ernest Duncombe, the Earl of Feversham, in 1872.〔Bulmer 1890.〕 During the 19th century, Welburn Hall, originally a fine specimen of Elizabethan architecture, was in a state of decay〔 having remained unoccupied from about 1850 to 1880 when Joseph Heads, a brick and tile maker, became the occupant.〔Census of 1851, HO107; Piece: 2372; Folio: 318; GSU roll: 87656-87657;Census of 1881, RG11; Piece: 4825; Folio: 43; Page: 6.〕 “In 1890, the derelict hall was sold, the west wing was demolished and the present house and stables were built.”〔'Welburn Hall School Case Study’, avail. http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk〕 The 1901 census is more precise than earlier records. Notably, Welburn Hall was occupied by colliery owner, John Shaw JP, his wife, Mary, his son, James Edward Shaw, Adela, wife of James and John's three grandchildren, Beatrice, Geoffrey and John Edward Durrant Shaw. Eleven household servants are also recorded. The Hall’s new coach house was occupied by the coachman, William Scholey, and his wife, Elizabeth. The “Hall Farm” was operated by Frederick Parker and his two employees.〔1901 Census RG13; Piece: 4552; Folio: 37; Page: 3.〕 “In 1931, the house was badly damaged by a fire and was subsequently rebuilt in a less ostentatious style”.〔'Welburn Hall School Case Study’〕 The above mentioned, Major John Edward Durrant Shaw (1894–1952), son of James Edward Shaw (1869-c.1962), became High Sheriff of Yorkshire from 1939 to 1940.〔http://www.thepeerage.com/pd517.htm#i22929〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welburn, Kirkbymoorside」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
