Скачать или смотреть WOMERSLEY: Selby Parish #27 of 74

With a DN6 postcode, this is one of just two settlements in the district of Selby whose post town is Doncaster, the other we will meet next week. It doesn’t have a great deal, but that’s part of its rural charm. It does have however, a place of worship in the gorgeous St Martin's Church, which is a Grade I listed building

Speaking of listed buildings, the Grade II listed Park and the adjoining coach-house and stables dominate the centre of the village. The estate belonged to Lord Roche and throughout history there were important visitors to the estate who came by train here including the Queen Mother

Gale Common was a disposal site for ash from Eggborough Power Station which until recently could be seen from the village until it was demolished. At the time of writing this episode, only the chimney stack remains. There’s a fierce battle being fought at present to prevent extraction from the site. The residents main concern for this is that the serene and peaceful village you see before you would be transformed by the movements of HGVs as they leave and arrive at the site travelling to and from to the A19.

There’s some interesting bits in this one. The Courtyard Tea Rooms was originally built in the 1940’s as a NAAFI, hence the simple nature of the structure. Then there’s a railway station situated on the Askern Branch Line. It was opened in 1848 and closed to passenger traffic back in September 1948. The platforms have since been demolished, but the railway line through the site is still open and in regular use.

The Domesday Book records this one as “Wilmerslye”. We know it as WOMERSLEY.
