History and Heritage Yorkshire Magazine April Edition

The April edition of our magazine includes the usual fascinating mix of articles on the history and heritage of Yorkshire. We delve into a little known aspect of the history of York Minster and of York itself in "Guardians of York Minster: The Legacy of the Liberty of St Peter and its Constabulary." We also look at the Battle of Selby and agriculture in the region from the 14th century onwards. Colin Speakman writes on Fredrick Moorman, Yorkshire's forgotten scholar and singer whilst David Pickersgill continues his history of early grammar schools in the region. All this and more beside including a look at the history of the maypole.
