The fascinating history of Villages Around York (Haxby, Wigginton, Strensall, Huntington & New Earswick) illustrated through old and modern pictures in a fully updated edition.
This book combines a fascinating selection of 180 modern and archive images that trace some of the many ways in which Haxby, Wigginton, Strensall, Huntington and New Earswick have changed and developed over the last century. This book tells the fascinating stories of five villages situated to the north of the city of York. This revised edition of Villages Around York Through Time will give residents and visitors alike a unique glimpse of how their village used to look.
Looking in particular at the development of schools and churches in Haxby and Huntington, and at Strensall’s historic association with the army, this book also explores the impact of the Foss Navigation and the pioneering, visionary work of the Joseph Rowntree Trust that resulted in the opening of the new Joseph Rowntree School in 2010. Join Paul Chrystal as he takes a closer look at these historic villages.
