Fear of invasion went hand in hand with a co...

    Hi i have been researching and metal detecting at aldby park and buttercrambe for 3-4 years now and i am very thankful that people are actually working on the grounds and the earthworks. I also believe i have found a building that has began to pretrude out the ground. I dont know how to describe the location but it is in aldby park. Around the building i have found old pottery old nails and bits of broken glass. I believe the building to be around 1600s

    Very interesting. I'd never heard of your society. The Astronomer Fred Hoyle, a Bingley lad, (Steady-state theory) wrote a book on the North Yorkshire Moors ice-age geology. It is heartening to see folk researching their home turf.

    Thank you very much! I really enjoyed it. I've always wanted to go on the tour. In the winters of the 1950's we used to toboggan in the field as children. We also came and rolled our Easter eggs. I remember the excavations in the early 1960's. Jane Sleightholme

    My ancestors descend, I believe, from the Evre or Eure family who built Ayton Castle. The name derives from d'Evre. Evre is a village in Buckinghamshire nowadays called Iver.
