To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Society for One-Place studies there is a unique event currently taking place (22nd September to 1st October), run by the Society of Genealogists, the Society for One-Place Studies, Genealogy Stories, and the British Association for Local History. Day 8 is food and shopping and I have a talk about my home village, Escrick, which was known as an agricultural village well into the 20th century. You can view my talk on YouTube.

The following image is from Gassy wood where I played as a child.

It’s not too late to find out more by going to the Society of One-Place Studies events page. Do keep an eye on the Society of Genealogists on YouTube as its likely that some of the content will be available after the event has finished.
