Rural Homes

The Need for Rural Affordable Housing High house prices in rural areas cause problems for local people on low and average incomes. Young people are leaving villages to find homes they can afford meaning local services and facilities, such as schools and shops, are under threat. Providing good quality affordable housing in rural areas is a key priority in York, North Yorkshire & East Riding. This is a complex and often lengthy process and we have a team of Rural Housing Enablers (RHEs) to provide support and expertise for rural communities and partners. RHEs work to enable local people/workers on modest incomes to stay or return to their village. Developments of this kind can help villages to thrive.

THE WAR MEMORIAL

HUNTON, NORTH YORKSHIRE

In this booklet, the biographical facts about each serviceman are given in chronological order of the dates of their deaths. These facts are given in good faith and are taken from publicly available documents and from information provided by some of the families of the men. We hope that this booklet will stimulate further interest and lead to more information being discovered. Please contact us if you feel that there are any significant omissions or errors which need to be corrected or if you can provide any additional information.
Hunton’s War Memorial stands on a small, roadside green near the quoits pitch between the Countryman’s Inn and the Methodist Chapel (Grid Ref. SE190925). It takes the form of a tapered stone obelisk about 2.5 metres high, set on a plinth and enclosed by a low wall topped by railings. The memorial shows the symbol of a laurel leaf, a traditional form of commemoration, and inscriptions in raised letters.

Welcome to Hunton

A small rural village in lower Wensleydale equidistant from the market towns of Bedale, Leyburn and Richmond. The village has a strong community who work together to create a thriving social scene and who enhance and maintain the village landscape, there is a Community Pub, Village Hall and Chapel with a variety of groups who hold weekly,monthly and annual events.

Hunton Quoits Club

The game of quoits has been around for hundreds of years but slowly declined in popularity during the late 19th/early 20th centuries. In 1978 however, the Zetland Quoits League was formed and in 1979 the Lower Dales Quoits League. A group of Huntonites decided to form a quoits team and join the newly established leagues. Interest in the game was significant with the Zetland league having approximately 24 teams from North Yorkshire and County Durham. The Lower Dales League started with approximately 16 teams and was more local to Hunton. Matches were played on Monday (Zetland) and Wednesday (Lower Dales) evenings during the Summer. The game is played on a pitch comprising two clay “pits” 11 yards apart. In the middle of the pit is a pin and the basic object of the game is to score points by getting your quoit nearest to the pin. Additional points are scored for getting your quoit over the pin. The first player to reach 21 points wins the game. The quoits themselves are made of malleable steel and weigh just over 5lbs each. Hunton Quoits Club competed in both leagues for many years but following a slow decline in venues and teams and the need to travel significant distances to away matches this led the Club to reluctantly withdraw from the Zetland League and it now plays only in the Lower Dales League and is currently in Division 2 of the league having been relegated this season. We have 15 players and are proud that all our players either live in Hunton or have a very close connection to the Village. 4 of our current players have racked up over 150 years between them playing for the Club which is a remarkable achievement. Over the last couple of years we have welcomed a number of new players and we are always delighted to welcome men and women interested in playing the game. The season runs from late April through to early August and we can be seen playing on The Green next to the War Memorial on Wednesday evenings from about 7.00 pm until 9.00 pm. If you fancy learning more about this fascinating and historic game you will be made most welcome and any Club Member will be delighted to show you how the game is played. Because we change Club Officials each year it is best to either ask at the Pub for a contact or come along on Wednesday nights during the season.
