Keith Cooper's Talk, 7 May 2025

Event Details

“Asby Parish: New Reflections and Observations on Aspects of its Historic Landscape, Archaeology and Minor Place-names”

 

Presenter: Keith Cooper

We’ll be looking for an early medieval summer milking place; revisiting a detectorist’s find of a 10th century metal hoard close to Asby Scar; exploring the mysteriously-named Tympany Gill, adjacent to Copper Mines Lane; taking a look at a very ‘busy’ landscape on Grange Hall’s land, with a number of ‘longhouse sites’ of unknown date; and piecing together the creation of Gaythorne’s estate, using the charters which granted land there to York’s Hospital of St Leonard/St Peter in the 13th century to look for the boundary markers listed in those charters that can still be found in the landscape.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
