18:30 - 19.15 Annual General Meeting
19:30 Jean Robinson “Raikes Road Burial Ground; a Victorian history of Skipton”
For a number of years, the now closed Burial Ground on Raikes Road in Skipton has been a focus of attention for Jean Robinson. Jean has researched both the history of the site and some of the gravestone inscriptions. An epitaph highlighted the connection between Rudyard Kipling and Skipton as it recorded the burial there of his paternal grandparents, Joseph and Frances Kipling. Joseph’s family later moved from the Manse on Alma Terrace to 24 Otley Street, almost the same address as Jean’s presentation!
