Reference to the sign by the village pond gives a hint of the history of Walkington and mentions its reference in Domesday.

What else do we know about our village and its origins? As items of information become available they will appear here, starting first with the history of The Sherwood and Waudby Trust. Follow the links on the right.

The photograph above shows the pond without the barrier and boardwalk as it looked about 60 years ago. Do you have photographs of old Walkington that would be of interest to others?  If so let us know and we will include some of them here.

Photographs of West End in the 1960's are here.

For further information about the history of Walkington visit GEN UKI Walkington.

Martin Limon has published a number of articles about local history on his website.  An article about the Broadgates Hospital is published here.
