About This Book

A comprehensive local history traces the development of Pickering and its surrounding forest and vale from prehistoric landscapes and glacial formations through successive periods of settlement and rule, examining archaeological and geological evidence alongside recorded traditions. It interweaves studies of Roman and medieval influence, church and castle architecture, folk beliefs and local customs, village life and rural economy, and changes in scenery and wildlife up to the early twentieth century. The narrative is organized chronologically into thematic chapters and supplemented by illustrations, maps, lists of clergy, references, and an index to guide readers through material remains, place‑names, and documentary sources.




APPENDIX

A LIST OF THE VICARS OF PICKERING



The living itself, at the time of the Norman Conquest, came into the possession of the Crown, and remained at the king's gift till Henry I. annexed it to the Deanery of York. It thus became one of the Dean's peculiars, until in the last century his property was vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and the patronage transferred to the Archbishop.
