Comment: I have traced some of my ancestors back to Brandesburton. They were the Eastwoods and I suspect there was a connection with "Eastwood House" which still exists in the main street. I used to visit regularly when my sister lived at Warley Cross and our family lived in Foston On The Wolds in the 40's and 50's. I will visit your website again when I have more time but am pleased to have found you this morning.

Comment: Attended school in this village in the 1940's. I drove through Brandesburton a few years ago and I just had to stop and look at the school. Fond memories of the children in this school. We were all terrified of Mr and Mrs Robinson, Head master and mistress. I love the village, it is so pretty. I have tried to locate the history of this village without success. I am delighted that you have Brandesburton on line.

Comment: I recently visited Brandesburton and the surrounding area whilst researching my family history. My ancestors of the area the Freear's, Metcalf's, Acklam's etc date back to the first parish records. I instantly loved the place and its setting and hope to bring the family back soon. The fish and chips were great as well!!

Comment: I plan to visit Brandesburton in 2009 -have a particular interest in the village as my late grandmother was born there - Katherine Lucy Beswick - in 1901. Her parents were John and Mary and they were married at St Mary's Church on May 29th 1895. Her brother Edwin Ezard Beswick was killed in WW1 and his name was/is ?? on the village war memorial. Looking forward to a visit next year. Thanks for introducing me to the village via your wonderful website!

Comment: I, like many others, am researching my family history and have traced one branch back to Brandesburton. The person is Robert Hall born in 1822 and he ended up in Northampton in the shoe industry. He married a lady from Hanslope in Buckinghamshire. Does anyone else know of these people, any information would be useful. I do hope to visit Brandesburton in the near future.

Comment: Geneology as others brought me to your site.I am checking for information on my grandfather Arthur Hainsworth whose name is remembered in your local golf course. He built Burton Holme which is now I am told part of the club house.During the second world war he extracted the gravel from what is now I believe your water sports centre
