This was the fourth heritage walk round villages in the Mulgrave Ward. Previously the group has visited Mickleby, Hinderwell and Dalehouse. It is proving to be a very popular and well attended activity, which also encourages different people to get involved.

Nineteen people attended in Roxby, which included Clive Welford who has lived in the village all his life. He passed on his extensive historical knowledge and anecdotal stories about the village.
I just ran across your video and blog. My great-grandparents owned the Fox Inn in Roxby in the early 1900's. Her name was Emma Welford, possibly Clive Welford is a relation. Grandfathers name was Arthur Husband. If you're interested I have an old photo of that building from circa 1910. Thanks. Clayton Husband, Burleson TX USA clayton.husband@gmail.com
