The Isle of Axholme

Where You Live

Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

AGRICULTURE IN THE 19th CENTURY (continued from last month) The enclosure of the commons together with some warping helped to increase the amount of arable land in the Isle. The farmers followed a sort of rotation. According to the famous late 18th century – early 19th century agriculturist, Arthur Young, the rotation in the Isle consisted of corn, potatoes, flax and beans. Cobbett, the well-known writer, said of the Isle of Axholme: - “ When I first visited the isle of Axholme in 1787 it was „Dame and Porridge‟ and the farmers were doing well. On my next visit it was „Misses and broth‟ and they were doing worse. I now find (1819) it „madam and soup‟ and they are going headlong to the devil”. Arthur Young said of the farms in the Isle; - “A farm of 20 acres can support a family very well as generally speaking they have no fallow, but an endless succession of corn, potatoes, hemp flax and beans”.

The hey-day of hemp growing was in the 17th and 18th century when it was extensively grown and used for sacking, canvas and heavy linen goods. The farmers were advised to “sow after wheat, plough before Christmas, manure after first dressing, a middling dressing, plough again between Christmas and Lady Day. Plough 3 or 4 times, roll and harrow, sow about the middle of May. Pull the male hemp or Femble about August 20 th, but leave the female till Michaelmas. Bind the Femble in sheaves and cart into dykes, rod it, water it.

Leave it for 2 to 3 weeks. Spread it on stubble for 3 weeks or so till the bast clears away from the bun. Turn it once or twice and when dry bind it into beats, carry home and stack it and work it”. An average crop was 30-35 stone; the price in peacetime was 22 and half pence or 25 pence a stone or 35 pence a stone in wartime.

By the 1850‟s the growing of hemp had declined dramatically.

Even by 1801 hemp was grown on less than 10% of the land. At this time 15% of the land was under temporary grasses, 25% wheat (33% in 17 th century), 10% barley (50% in 17th century), 20% oats, 10% potatoes and the remainder comprising of flax, hemp, beans, rope, turnips and carrots.

In the 19th century potatoes became a major crop in the Isle. They grew extraordinarily well on the best warp land so that farmers were tempted to abandon their varied rotation and settle into the growing of potatoes and wheat in alternate years helped by high potato prices.

Warp land produced very good crops and still does. Farmers through the ages near rivers have found the land fertile with a layer (up to 25 feet thick) of alluvical mud left by the floods. The nearer the river the thicker the veneer of mud. This type of warp land is called „Top land‟ or Old going land‟ and stretches up to a quarter of a mile from the river. As the rivers have had levees built to prevent floods so the natural warping effect has disappeared. Artificial warping was developed whereby the river‟s high tide water charged with mud was led off down warping drains and off to fields to settle. The To and advertise callwater 01302 532676 or 07912 643010 7 mud would settle at lowplease tide the would drain off. (to be continued)

On 10th October the whole of Year 7 at North Axholme School did not follow their usual Monday timetable.

Instead, they had a PLTS day to develop their Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills. The theme of the day was Spain and they rotated around four workshops: a Spanish lesson, assisted by Year 9 students and including a lively dance to a Spanish song an Art workshop in which they reproduced Picasso’s famous painting of the Spanish Civil War, Guernica a flamenco dancing lesson with dance group Mambojambo producing a stop-motion animation of the entire history of Spain!

The day finished with the whole year group and staff dancing together to Juan Pequenobaila! Great fun and a lot of team work, creative thinking, self managing, effective participation and reflective learning. (These are some of the general PLTS skills)

Remember Remember My youngest nephew was born on November 5th and a right fire cracker he turned out to be! As he approaches his 18th birthday, he has ordered timed fireworks for the best party ever for friends and family.

The only problem is what to do with the family dog during this jamboree!

Just a few days later, Her Majesty the Queen will lay a wreathe at the Cenotaph in London and similar ceremonies will take place all over the world, including villages on the Isle of Axholme. We will pause at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month to remember all those who have died or been in injured in the two World Wars and conflicts ever since.

This year there is added pain for those who enlisted in the Armed Forces but have now lost their jobs.

Like many others they will have to ‘start again’ and that may be very hard and difficult.

So we have much to remember in November. Many of us will remember Guy Fawkes with happiness and laughter on 5th November. I hope that we will also be able to share in the sadness and tears of the few war veterans who are still alive on 11th November and work out how to keep Remembrance Day special in the future.

St Norbert’s Catholic Primary School Newsletter Welcome to our November Newsletter.

All the children in school took part in our Harvest Celebration at the end of September. A large number of parents and family members attended and were treated to a celebration of singing and music.

A collection was held during the celebration for our new friends in Malealea, Lesotho. Through the Trees for Africa Charity set up with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, we are raising funds to promote sustainability in Malealea by providing trees and also clean burn cooking stoves. In the region of 1.5m people die purely from smoke inhalation just by burning wood to cook food to survive and we are trying to raise funds to make a difference for them.

Our Charity Auction of Favours and our Charity Bingo were both well supported and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who donated prizes or attended either of these two events.

Trees for Africa cards are available from our school office should you wish to make a donation to our Malealea charity while remembering a loved one at the same time. The cards will be taken to Africa to be displayed in the local Community Hall.

Please watch out for posters and details of our next Malealea Charity events which will be advertised around the village and the local papers.

The children will be busy practising for our Christmas Concerts by the time you read this. This was thoroughly enjoyed by members of our community last year and if anyone would again like to attend this year, tickets can be ordered from the school office at the end of November. Please telephone 01724 710249 for details.

Our Christmas Bingo takes place on Wednesday 23rd November – doors open for refreshments at 6.30pm with eyes down at 7.30pm. We are also organising a Christmas Fayre on the morning of Saturday 10th December. Full details will be available later.

We look forward to seeing you there!

A challenge has been thrown out to local youngsters to produce a Christmas Carol, which will then be performed at a special service to be held in December.

It has come from Epworth’s Old Rectory – which is now an internationally renowned museum as it was the childhood home of John and Charles Wesley the founders of a movement that went on to become the Methodist Church.

The competition is open to youngsters in two age categories - seven to 11 and 12 to 18 – and entries can come not only from schools but from organisations including Brownies, Guides, Cubs, Scouts and other youth groups.

Entries need to be a minimum of two verses and not exceed five verses – the length of Charles Wesley’s original hymn – and must be in the manner of joy or praise for Christmas.

The winning entries will be performed by the winners at a Carol Service to be held at the Wesley Memorial Methodist Church in Epworth on Wednesday, December 7th. In addition, there are prizes on offer with the first prize in each category being a tour of the Trax FM’s radio studios and the second being a tour of the Old Rectory with refreshments.

Axholme Camera Club News The Guest Speaker this week was Mr Richard Egan who had travelled from York in order to show the members his very impressive array of images. Richard was made a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 2004 with a panel of Portrait Photographs. He explained that it took him a period of four years to get his FRPS and it was not an easy journey, having to Employ the services of sixty (60) individual models in the process. However, it was the members of Axholme Camera Club who had the benefit of seeing Richards outstanding images.

He put his success down to first of all the planning, knowing what he wished the end photograph to look like before he took the picture. Get as much as possible correct in the camera and do very simple alterations in the computer to achieve the end product. Richard not only had some great images on show but also had a very amusing style of portraying his descriptions to the audience.

Although Richard had given up his time to come to Axholme he asked for his fee to be made payable to the Cancer Research. He said that his pleasure was taking photographs and helping other to achieve satisfaction when taking pictures. Richard has agreed to revisit the club sometime in the new year and run a workshop in Portrait Photography.

Correction to the statement about our sponsors.

It should have stated that our sponsors are Tom Dennis Digital Imaging of Scunthorpe and not John Dennis digital Photography.

The Selection committee have also met twice in the last week to select photographs for the following competitions. First the LPA Digital Battles which takes place on Sunday 30 th October at Nettleham. Secondly, (NEMPS) North East Midlands Photographic Societies, this is an individual exhibition but the club can nominate a selection of four images from the members entries. And finally the Australian Challenge.

This is the first competition between Axholme and our twinning club Castle Hill RSL Camera Club in Sydney Australia. A special web site has been set up to host the images and will allow the judges from both sides of the world to access them and mark each image out of 15. This is split into 3 areas, Technique, Composition and Impact, allowing 5 points for each section. That means each image will be judged out of 30 marks, 15 from each judge. The UK Judge is a Mr Ray Brammall FRPS DPAGB a very experienced photographic evaluator. The Australian Judge is Andrea Robinson AAIPP, AFIAP, AAPS. Andrea is a professional Photographer with her home in Queensland, a very nice picturesque place to live.

Andrea's web site is www.imagesbyandrea.com.au and its worth a visit to view some of her outstanding work.
