    About this ebook

    Joanna Dawson, a dairy farmer, local historian, and Methodist preacher combined her religious faith with a delight in the local traditions of agriculture and domestic affairs in the Yorkshire Dales. She garnered a unique knowledge based on the stories and anecdotes of the elderly people she encountered on her travels around Yorkshire. Her enthusiasm led to a vast collection of unsorted and unclassified information which has only recently been discovered and transcribed by volunteers at the Nidderdale Museum. Hers is a fragrant scene from the farmhouse kitchens of long ago, when large teas and suppers were the reward for a hard-working rural life, and the wife by the range had skills and knowledge to be learned and passed on through the generations. Mrs Hibbert's Pick-Me-Up and Other Recipes from a Yorkshire Dale is illustrated with pen and ink drawings of items used in those old kitchens, and photographs taken in the Dales a century ago, which aptly complement this evocative account of rural life.

      Preface

      Mrs Hibbert’s Pick-Me-Up and the other 101 recipes and handy hints included here come from a valuable collection of primary source material now lodged in the archives of the Nidderdale Museum, at Pateley Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales. It belonged to Joanna Dawson, who was a Methodist Local Preacher, an experienced dairy farmer and a keen historian of Nidderdale.

      With others she shared a deep concern for the traditional way of life which seemed to be disappearing rapidly from the dale after the Second World War. Farms were adopting new methods, the former lead and stone industries had collapsed and families were becoming dispersed. In 1975 she was a founder of the Nidderdale Museum, set up by volunteers to display the rich and varied local heritage. As a result of their enthusiasm and formidable organisation a flourishing Society was formed: ‘to advance the education of the public by maintaining a museum in the Nidderdale area to collect, preserve and exhibit items of archaeological, historical, industrial, educational and community interest’. In 1990 it was given the National Heritage Museum of the Year Award for ‘The Museum which does the most with the least.’

      Travelling around Nidderdale with indefatigable energy Joanna garnered from the people she encountered stories, anecdotes and knowledge of the dale’s customs and methods. Her unbounded interest led to a vast collection of unsorted and unclassified information which she planned to tackle when she retired. But, only a few months before that, she was found to be terminally ill. She asked that her friends at the museum should undertake the task and eventually publish her work.

      We are pleased to honour the pledge we gave her and offer this collection in tribute to a dedicated public servant, a great enthusiast, and a dear friend to many in the dale.

      Joanna Mary

      Grylls Dawson

      My sister Joanna was born in Huddersfield in 1930, the oldest of a family of five. At the time, the whole family lived with our grandfather. In 1939 our father took over the tenancy of Winsley Grange Farm, Hartwith, in Nidderdale, and from 1941 this became our main home. Joanna continued her education at Greenhead High School in Huddersfield, staying with Grandfather during the week. On Monday mornings she made the long journey by public transport, walking two miles to
