A History of North Cave

Introduction

Roger/Jacky Slade with Jamie and Luke c,1999

The Mill House at the Beck (Click picture for its location)

Two and a half miles from South Cave in a north westerly direction stands the village of North Cave. The Parish includes Drewton, Everthorpe.

The reference in the doomsday book refers to the parish as "Another Cave and the owners of the land listed as Robert Malet who had seven carucates and two oxgangs. The Archbishop of York one carucate and six oxgangs. The Earl of Moreton, six carucates and two oxgangs and Hugh the son of Baldric, two oxgangs. There rennith a Broke By Northcave and so into Humbre" (Referring to the Beck than runs through North Cave on its way to the River Humber)

(Source From Bawdwens Translation) (eight oxgangs make a carucate)

The Robert Malet referred to was the son of the Sheriff of Yorkshire William Malet who held much land in Yorkshire which included land at Cave, Drewton and Hotham.

During the reign of Stephen, the famous Roger de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland held lands here. However being a rebel against the King's authority his estates were forfeited. It would appear that some time later the estates were granted to Nigel Albini who had married Roger's daughter. Nigel de Albini supported the ' Order Knights Templars' with lands in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire including lands in North Cave.

History records that during the 'Crusades' he was taken prisoner by Saladin in 1187. He was ransomed by the 'Templars'. His gratitude to the Knights Templars was made by rich donations to their cause.

The manor at North Cave held for many generations by the Melthams, Knights. The Melthams were an opulent family. A Branch of the family resided at Meltham nr Howden and another at North Cave where several members are buried.

Stage Coacher

The following advertisement in the old stage coaching days c.1835 reminds us all of the great changes which have taken place.

"Hull and Cave new Coach. RJ Chafer respectfully informs his friends and the public that he has this day commenced running a new four-inside Post Coach which leaves the :

'White Hart, North Cave, every morning (Sundays Excepted) at a quarter-past seven, and the Fox and Coney, South Cave, at a quarter before eight: calling at the Half Moon Brantingham: Green Dragon Welton: Duke of Cumberland, Ferriby and Granby Inn Hessle; and arrives at Mr Lyons, the Black Horse Carr Lane, Hull at half past nine: from which it returns each afternoon at half past four.

RJC begs to return his sincere thanks for the liberal encouragement he has received since his commencement and trusts that his future exertions will secure to him a continuance, and hope that the above coach and arrangement will prove to be that accommodation so long wanted. No coach hitherto run between North Cave and Hull". (Hull 4th May 1835)

There used to be a railway station here on the Hull, Barnsley, and West Riding Junction railway, sadly no longer. However, about five miles distant, is the railway station of Brough on the Hull/Doncaster/Selby/Leeds branch of the modern day railway.

North Cave Railway Station 1954

North Cave Railway Station 2002

Extract from the 1881 Census Courtesy of Ken Brockway
     In 1881 Samuel Garlick 45 was a Railway Labourer residing at Church Street, North Cave, East Riding, England.   He originated from Sutton Cortney, Berkshire, Born c.1836 while his wife Jane Garlick born c.1837 came from Preston, Lancashire. Their engine driving son, George aged just 17 had been born in Weelbaset, Essex. The family had moved frequently with children Mary Ann Garlick age 15 born in Holloway Middlesex, England. Haret Garlick aged 11 born in Lincoln, England, William Garlick age 7 born York, England. This itinerant lifestyle suggests that Samuel was a navvy constructing the Hull and Barnsley Railway.    Further evidence, if needed is offered by John Smith, aged 19, their lodger, a Railway Labourer from Chatton, Kent, England.

      William Cales aged 44 Born c.1837 at Holberton, Derby, England was living at Finkle Street, North Cave, York, England.   He was an Excavator, perhaps on the railway? His wife Mary born c.1844 was from Whittlesea, Cambridge, England.   Their son William aged 8 had been born at Barrow, Lancashire, England, suggesting William senior had moved around the country after work.

    The railway through North and South Cave had been authorised in 1880 and was not opened until 1886. So it would appear most likely that the above names taken from the 1881 census were working on the railway's construction at that time.   Where the descendants are today, is anyone's guess, but perhaps they will discover their ancestors presence in North or South Cave.

          There is still a Post Office in the village and one newsagents shop to supply the needs of the 900 or so residents.   The drinking establishments number two, Black Swan (The Mucky Duck) and the White Hart.
