    Visited a Harrogate pub and on the wall was a map from 1610. Sorry it's not a good snap I'm no Montie Fresco. 20250714_162143.jpg

    Would have been perfect if there was a L above Staincross, just where Royston is :D

    Our village didn’t exist back then, it was part of Hemsworth, although Kinsley is there on the map.

    Also, I thought Ackworth was wrong side of Nostel & Foulby, but that must be the original part of it, where the Brown Cow is now situated, and has since spread out.

    Great map.

    Must have just been all fields back then, hardly a humanoid in sight.
    Google says Barnsley had a population of about 600 - not sure whether that figure includes the surrounding villages as well.

    I was in a boozer in Nottingham once and there was a document from 1610 on the wall, on closer inspection it was David McGoldrick's birth certificate.

    Wapentake comes from an Old Norse meaning assembly, it was effectively 9th/10th/11th century version of a local council. Wapentakes are really common in Yorkshire and the North East because of the Danelaw, and a lot of us round here being part descended from the helmet-horned, bushy beard lot from Scandinavia. Down south where it was more Anglo-Saxon they were referred to as Hundreds.

    Don’t think so anymore, I’ve certainly never heard of it, so might be before my time mate.

    I think it also had something to do with weapons or being armed.

    It changed name to the Casbah many years back, but I that has been closed since 2014.
    No idea what's there now.
