We're previewing Weedon Bec later today!
It's one of those names that makes you double take isn't it!
Barrie Trinder explains in his great map notes that there's a link to France in the name, which is fitting because this place is astonishingly well connected to the wider world!

Not sure if the sound is working on this video, but essentially, I'm giving you an idea of the physical size of our maps if you haven't bought one (yet!), and a quick idea of the extra detail we add to the high quality reprints!

Great news from FreeUKGenealogy! Donations were short of the amount sought, but with Gift Aid the total tops the target. So work on FreePRO can begin, with the scanning of probate calendars, the use of OCR to generate text, and the correction of errors by volunteers.

That's brilliant, think people in #Yorkshire would definitely be challenged keeping to the words of the Carol
Day 11 of my #LessSungCarols - While shepherds watched. Not that unusual but the tune - On Ilkley Moor - is not the usual one so I think that counts. #Advent
WHILE SHEPHERD'S WATCHED-tune "On Ilkley Moor Baht at"
The Sing Out Loud UK Choir sing the traditional carol "While Shepherds Watched" to the traditional Yorkshire tune "On Ilkley Moor Baht at" Live concert performance
