Village bench replacement
You probably saw that a delivery driver demolished the bench by the bus stop on Church Street, we were able to claim on insurance for a replacement seat.
The earliest references to Barkston were in 1030 when the spelling was Barcestune which reflected Barkston's early founders who are likely to have been Scandinavian in origin. Through Norman appropriations in the 13th century when the de Barkeston family featured frequently in records, and in the Danelaw period of our history, the area prospered. The Barkston Wapentake was huge. It stretched from the river Ouse in the east to the lower reaches of the rivers Aire and Wharfe and then to the boundary of the Roman road, running from Castleford to Wetherby, in the west.
