About 19th Century Migration in Craven

Sarah Lister, local historian and researcher for Settle Graveyard Project.Sarah had a career in education, being a headteacher of two large secondary schools. Since retiring to Settle Sarah has researched of the lives of all those buried in Settle graveyard. The inhabitants of every grave, whether with a memorial stone or not, provide a great little slice of social history! Her findings have informed a raft of local social history themes including the role of women, the development of Settle and, of course migration. As a result of the research Sarah has written three books covering the graveyard research, the railway navvies who perished while building the Settle to Carlisle railway and those who lived in the Long Preston floodplain. Sarah has delivered numerous talks on a variety of themes to local groups and some very popular summer churchyard trails.
