Yarm Town Hall.
Pevsner writes "This is of 1710, brick, only two bays, with a hipped roof and square lantern. The ground floor of course was originally open."
Yarm War Memorial
"The question of a war memorial for Yarm was first discussed at a Parish Council meeting held on 5 February 1919. Councillor George Campbell, who just a month before had heard of the death of his only son on active service, chaired the meeting. It was resolved to call a public meeting for Wednesday 19 February in the Council School to consider what should be done.
At the public meeting Mr Hedley stated that he understood Mr J R Clapham had offered to build a new Town Hall as a War Memorial if it could be erected on the site of the existing structure. Mr Fawcett, on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, Mr Meynell, confirmed that there would be no objection to this scheme. After some further discussion it was agreed by 47 votes to 5 that the offer be accepted. At the same time a memorial committee was duly elected consisting of Messrs Clapham, Holt, Hedley, Campbell, Adamson, Fawcett and Whitwell.
By mid-April plans for the new Town Hall were ready for submission to Stokesley Council. However, a reaction set in against demolishing the historic Town Hall. This is evidenced by the comments of the Vicar of Egglescliffe in the Parish Magazine for April 1919:
Some of Yarms neighbours trust that their war memorial will find a shape that will not destroy a building which gives character to its street and is in harmony with its surroundings.
On 4 June 1919 a letter was read to the Parish Council stating that Mr Clapham had withdrawn his offer of the new Town Hall and the scheme proceeded no further. It was agreed to thank Mr Clapham for his offer and to ask him if he could suggest any other ideas. It was ultimately agreed that he would give to the community the open space at the top of Bentley Wynd known as Snaithsfield.
In the same month the new Rector of Yarm, the Rev Barnsley, was writing in the Parish Magazine that :
a fitting memorial should be erected this memorial should most fittingly take the form of a cross. A dignified and stately cross erected in a central position and built of warm red stone.
In view of the ultimate result it is clear that the Rector must have played an important part in the move for a memorial cross. In October 1919 Capt H T Fawcett MC presided over a meeting where it was decided to place a contract for a memorial to be erected on a site at the south end of the Town Hall with a Mr Seymour. The cost was to be £265 10s. 6d.
Within a few months the work was complete. There then stood by the Town Hall a tall octagonal double-cross of red scotch stone with the full names and ranks of the dead carved around the base, together with the words They are crowned with the garland of immortality.
At 1500 hours on Saturday, 12 June 1920 the memorial was unveiled by Sir Hugh Bell, Lord Lieutenant of the North Riding. The ceremony was attended by most of the town' inhabitants and presided over my Mr E R Whitwell. It began with the singing of the hymn Through the night of doubt and sorrow. Then the Methodist minister of Yarm from 1919 to 1922, the Rev James W Trevvett, offered a prayer with Rev Barnsley afterwards reading a short passage from Scripture. Mr Whitwell then said that he wished to convey to the relatives of the fallen the sympathy of the whole community. After reading the roll of ho nour the Rev Barnsley led those present in the following prayer: With bowed heads and grateful hearts we salute our glorious dead; may they rest in peace; may their memory never fade. Buglers of the 1st Thornaby Scouts then sounded the Last Post.
Before unveiling the memorial Sir Hugh remarked that:
When twenty years ago Yarm put up a simple memorial to those who went to serve their country in South Africa they little thought that within a generation they would be assembled to unveil a monument of a much deeper significance. The two things, however, are naturally connected together in ones mind and those who look at the history of the past half century, for instance, would see that the struggle in South Africa was in fact but a prelude to that much greater struggle which the early years of this century were to bring up. It seems very appropriate that the people of Yarm should erect in front of the South African War tablet on the Town Hall a cross commemorating the much greater service and more strenuous effort which the country was called upon to make from August 1914 to November 1918.
Rightly looked upon you should all regard this as a pleasurable occasion although the pleasure is of a sober and temperate kind, but none the less it is a pleasure to commemorate the great deeds of those whose services we are here to recognise. To me personally it was a great pleasure that those who had conduct of the proceedings had been kind enough to invite me in my capacity of Lieutenant of the Riding to take a prominent part in the ceremony.
When the war broke out, for a moment, but only for a moment I doubted whether the people of this country would understand what the issues were which were presented for the arbitrament of the sword. But it did not take long to make it clear to me that my fellow countrymen understood, as well at least, as I did, what was at issue. I think we can define that now without any doubt or hesitation. We stood in the first place for our own personal freedom in this country, we stood to protect ourselves from those horrors of warfare which, thank Heaven, this country knows but by repute, never for generations there having been a hostile invader on these shores. We stood however, for more than that we stood for the freedom of the world. In the bitter months that passed from 1914 until 1918 as the struggle swayed back and forth many of us were in terror lest that for which we stood should go under. Again I say, thank Heaven that sad fate did not befall us, and we came through victorious, having attained the end for which we set out.
I congratulate the people of Yarm on the fact that 350 our of the 1500 inhabitants generally every one of the adult males had contributed to the £240 raised to erect the cross. Through them I offer the architect my congratulations upon the way in which he has carried out his commission. I would also like to congratulate the architect and I hope that I might say thankyou on behalf of the people of Yarm for the assiduousness he has shown in perfecting his design.
In conclusion I was desired to convey to the gathering the congratulations of a body of persons who preserve a tender recollection of the kindness which they received at the hands of the inhabitants of Yarm. I refer to the Belgian refugees who you entertained in their hour of trouble. They have communicated with the committee and desire their thanks and congratulations be specially accorded to the inhabitants. I am glad to be the mouthpiece to convey to the people of Yarm that recognition of kind ly services rendered to the Belgians.
Then, drawing aside the Union Jack which covered the base of the memorial Sir Hugh said: I present on behalf of the subscribers to the inhabitants of Yarm and to their successors as long as this cross shall stand, a memorial of the Great War to the memory of our glorious dead and the Great War of 1914-1919.
Following the singing of the hymn On the resurrection morning the Reveille was sounded by ex-Bugler Hill of the 4th Yorkshire Regiment and the ceremony finished with the singing of the National Anthem and the laying of wreaths.
After the service the Rector, writing in the Parish Magazine commented that he felt
The ceremony of unveiling suffered from the shortness of the notice which preceded it. I should ha ve preferred it to have been a full military affair as certainly did the Lord Lieutenant.
The townspeople generally took greater issue over the double-headed cross design and therefore soon after the unveiling the cross was replaced by the one seen today.
During the early part of 1925 and again in 1930 complaints were received by the Parish Council about the bad condition of the memorial. These complaints were drawn to the attention of the memorial committee but on the last occasion to no apparent effect. Therefore, at the Parish Council meeting of 8 May 1930 it was resolved that the Council would take over the upkeep and general wellbeing of the memorial without responsibility for its design or situation.
After the Second World War the then Rector, the Rev C H B Barker, decided that there should be a tablet erected in the Church commemorating the dead of both wars. During 1948 he began collecting information and later an oak tablet was fixed to the west wall bearing the names of the dead painted on in gold. The tablet had been designed and executed by Ralph Hedley of Newcastle and was dedicated and unveiled by the Bishop of Whitby on 20 September 1952. The related service was conducted by the Rev Barker supported by the Rev Yates-Moore of Egglescliffe and Mr Hunter-Garbutt, a lay reader in Yarm.
In November 1961 the Rev Barker wrote to the Parish Council that
He then asked the Council if they could do anything to rectify these matters. Spurred on by this request the Council, at its meeting on 14 February 1962, accepted a tender from William Arrowsmith & Son, Monumental Sculptors of Redcar in the sum of £205 for cleaning the memorial and carving the names onto Broughton Moor Green Slate. The work was carried out by June.
It is not known how the names for the two wars were compiled. However it is clear that in the case of the First World War in particular there are a number of errors. Not only were names misspelt or wrong Christian names used but in several cases persons were recorded who had no connection with Yarm when they enlisted while others, deserving of some memorial in the town, were completely overlooked."! northeastengland.wix.com/yarm-on-tees/apps/blog

A scrum of adventure in the Denver surrounded me on opening night of Motown: The Musical.
Impeccable timing made for a flowing chain of fun events. I departed the Colorado light rail station and rode the mass transit fantastic down to the Convention Center. From there, pre show vittles were a necessity. There was an approximate 10.23 minute walk to Yard House on the 16th Street Mall.
Happy hour jubilee awaited with great appetizer and drink specials. Moo Shu Egg Rolls and vampire taco® deliciousness ensued.
Once the belly was full it was off to The Buell Theatre, where the line seemed overwhelming. Checking with the Will Call box office, I was instructed where to go to pick up the tickets. And to achieve this I was to maneuver through the line, pushing my way stealthily to the front to retrieve my ticket. I did this swiftly, much to the dismay of people in the line. Wow. Simple. Amazing. My journey through the line was quick and painless. This truly was a Yelp Elite event and I had zero problems with gaining access. I saw a few familiar faces as I waded through the lines of humanity.
The show was great. I have seen many musicals at DCPA. This ranks up there as one of the best. The production was fantastic and it was obvious the cast and crew has this show down to a science. From the acting to the dancing to the scene changes to the lighting to the music ... all was superb. The audience seemed to enjoy it, as there was singing along, vocal grunts of joy, clapping, whoops and hollers throughout the performance.
Overall the experience was super. The vocals were sometimes drowned out by the music but if anyone had even a small knowledge of the music that didn't matter one bit. Motown: The Musical was a delight and I am sure the production will do well here in Denver.
