		Experts from English Heritage, equipped with ropes and harnesses, have spent the past month perched on cliffs to record evidence of the process by which shale dug from the quarry was turned into what was then one of the world's most valuable commodities.

		There is evidence that Cuthbert Readman, descendant of a Norman family from Yeland Redmayne in Cumberland, was settled in the Whitby area by the 1560's, and Mike Hutchinson has provided a useful review of the evidence concerning the early history of the name in the North of England.

		The last_named writer has so fully identified the three dogs first employed to manufacture the breed, together with their names, ownership, characteristics, and other facts concerning them, that there can be no doubt as to the authenticity of the history of the origin of the breed.

		Perhaps it was she who invented the Yorkshire custom of baking a double batch of parkin and serving the first lot hot from the oven and smothered in apple sauce.
