by John William Morkill (originally published 1933)
In aid of the St Michael the Archangel, Kirkby Malham, Restoration Campaign,
a limited, second edition of this very scarce local history of Kirkby
Malhamdale is currently being republished by subscription. The whole
edition is limited to only 250 numbered copies and will be printed by
Smith Settle of Otley who specialise in high quality book reproductions
and craft bindings.
Written by the late John William Morkill of Newfield Hall,it is a well
researched book which has stood the test of time due to the author’s
painstaking research using original documents. From before Domesday
to the mid 19th Century, the text is packed with information extracted
from deeds, manor rolls, parish records and other documents, plus material
on the major families of the Dale. It should prove fascinating to those
with Malhamdale connections or an interest in the local history of Craven
and become a collectors item in its own right.
The initial subscription level has been reached and publication is now
proceeding, with delivery expected in March 2005. Copies of this high
quality facsimile edition are still available though. Bound in maroon
cloth covered boards, with a reproduction of the rare original dust
jacket, as illustrated above.
