		The North Riding of Yorkshire is one of the three traditional subdivisions of the English county of Yorkshire.
		The Ridings are the ancient divisions of Yorkshire and were recognised as such in 1888 when each was given its own county council.
		In 1974 the Riding was abolished for administrative purposes, and the majority became part of the new county of North Yorkshire (which also included much of the northern rural part of the old West Riding as well as York itself and the northern and eastern fringes of the old East Riding).

	Field arrangements in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the High Middle Ages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This thesis explores the development, organisation and regional distribution of field systems and other field arrangements in the West Riding of Yorkshire between the eleventh and mid-fourteenth centuries, during a period of demographic expansion and extension of margins of cultivation.
		At the next level are general overviews of field arrangements in four regions of the West Riding, which represent the different environments of the upland Pennines, Pennine foothills, Vale of York and Marshlands.
		Thus, the upland Pennines and Pennine foothills or intermediate zones of the West Riding are appropriate for particular study because of their late colonisation and/or staggered and somewhat partial development of field arrangements during the High Middle Ages.

		The special qualities of those independent northern Yorkshire folk with their Yorkshirespeak began to take on a new life of their own, and I soon embarked on a Yorkshire one name study of everything GIGGAL, along with an historical inquiry into the past and whatever I could piece together of the lives of my ancestors.
		With many years missing from the registers and nearly all of the family burials unaccounted for, it has been impossible to determine if William was born in the parish or entered the parish from another parish or shire.
		It is through him alone that all ensuing generations of the Giggall family in Yorkshire became firmly established, as John eventually migrated to the town of Ossett in Dewsbury Parish and married by his 30th year.
