 In 1899, land was set aside for building a church for Carlin How and Skinningrove. The foundation stone was laid on the eve of Ascension Day; Wednesday May 23rd 1900, by Mrs Dorman of Grey Towers, Nunthorpe. The church was consecrated on the 30th October 1901, by the Bishop of Hull Rt Rev R.F.L. Blunt. D.D.

Note how well cropped the grass appears on the slopes. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  Mayor Eric Jackson (himself a former pupil of St Joseph’s in Deepdale Road) was an honoured guest at the celebrations. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  Lingdale War Memorial (another manufactured by Arrowsmith’s of Loftus) is shown against the backdrop of the shale heap at Lingdale. Today the memorial remains, but the shale heaps which dominated the village are now a distant memory. Paula Miller tells us: ”The workers shed on the right of the photograph is now situated on Busky allotments and still going strong.” Andrew Munro comments: “The shale heaps in the background are a fair size.” Whilst Derick Pearson advises: “These heaps did get much larger (higher than this) after this photograph was taken.” Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier, thanks to Andrew Munro and Derick Pearson for the comments. Many thanks to Paula Miller for that update.  Skelton has two memorials, one on Cross Green and this outstanding example at North Skelton. The North Skelton Memorial is another example of the excellent work from Arrowsmith’s Memorials of Loftus. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier.  Goathland memorial is one of many in the area built by Arrowsmith’s of Loftus. This early image (judging by the model of motorcycle & sidecar) shows the memorial which has also featured in ‘Heartbeat’ -the TV series as the memorial for ‘Aidensfield’.
