Pocklington Board of Guardians
The following remarkable photograph can be found hanging in Burnby Hall. It shows all the Pocklington Board of Guardians and Rural District Council and Officers. The photograph is not dated but best guess is around 1890 as Francis Thomas Jennings died in Pocklington in Mar 1892, William Barmby died in Mar 1898, Thomas Newbald in Mar 1898, and Anthony Berriman in Dec 1897.
