1822: EARTHQUAKE (Chronicle for March) Many of the inhabitants of Seaton Ross, near York, Foggathorpe, and Holme upon Spalding-moor, were lately alarmed by a smart shock of an earthquake. Several families, who had just retired to rest, felt their beds shake under them, and some in the moment of surprise and affright sprung out of them upon the floor; others who were still up, felt their chairs move with them, and some ran out of doors to see what was the matter; a rumbling noise was heard, and in two houses the bells rangs of themselves. The shock was also felt in the villages of Beilby, Everingham, Allerthorpe and Melbourne.

1834: John Smith, labourer, for housebreaking at Foggathorpe. Transported for 14 years.

The first number refers to the township number within the Howden Union.
