"York itself has never been part of any Riding. It is the centre point of all the Ridings. More accurately it is called the Ainsty of York" I thought it was "York AND the Ainsty."  The Ainsty is to the southwest of York, so my understanding is that they are considered to be two separate entities.  Is that wrong?  I know the hunt was always called York and the Ainsty.Daine 

To confuse even more villages came & went from the Ainsty so Ulleskelf my grandfathers village has been Ainsty WR and now NR so hey ho take your choice Gillian nee Wheatley Sent from my iPhone > On 31 Mar 2016, at 19:10, D.S.
