The cake and tombola stand in aid of the Church Roof Appeal did good business after a slow start because of the unseasonably cold weather this Bank Holiday Monday.
Thanks to Anthea Read for organising the event and to Margaret and Carol for running the tombola raffle. Thanks also to all who helped out and also those who contributed cakes and other items, the sale of which raised a total of £169 for the Church Roof Appeal.

We have just received the brilliant news that the Heritage Lottery Fund has granted £2.5 million towards the This Exploited Land (TEL) project to conserve, protect and interpret our unique industrial heritage.
The full NYMNP press release is at this link: http://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/about-us/press-office/press-releases/articles2/trailblazing-funding-for-the-north-york-moors
The Rosedale History Society has played a full role along with the other partners in the project to bring about this excellent result. There will, of course, be regular updates on the TEL project progress from now on, here and at the RHS regular Sunday meetings on the first Sunday of each month.
Well done all!
The 150th anniversary of the wonderful little chapel at Hartoft was celebrated on Sunday 30 August with a musical tea. Forty four people from all over the dale attended and £315 was raised which will go towards replacing one or more of the chapel windows.
Lynda would like too thanks all who came and supported the chapel restoration fund for their ‘fantastic generosity’.
The coffee morning at the Coach House Inn in Rosedale Abbey on Saturday 1 August raised the magnificent sum of £450 in aid the of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

From Anthea:
Another great day for Rosedale when Charlotte Seller, of the Old Police House, married Captain Kenneth Neilson of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. After the wedding, the couple will be honeymooning in an undisclosed destination in Thailand, before setting up home in Andover where Kenneth is a staff officer in the Army Inspectorate, part of Army Headquarters there.
A group of fourteen artists from Grimsby and Cleethorpes were in Rosedale Abbey on Sunday 12 July, under the tutelage of Leslie Treacher of Leslie Treacher Painting Holidays, based at the Mustard Seed Gallery in Cleethorpes (01472 200338)
Fortunately for the water colourists in the group the weather was fine if a little blowy!
Now that the fuss had died down, some pictures from the great day:
And finally, thanks to all those many who put up bunting, designed wonderful artifacts to decorate the approaches to and the village itself and generally helped make 1 May a special day for all in the dale.
Sometime later this year in the summer, Sir Terry Wogan and his London cabbie mate, Mason McQueen will be hosting a programme on BBC 2 called ‘Terry and Mason’s Food Programme’.
Maggie Barraclough was asked to appear along with other North Yorkshire bakers and their efforts were sampled by Terry and Mason recently in Scarborough.
