Geocache Description:

Anlaby, thought to have been Anlafs Village, consisted of just 19 people in the Doomsday book.

This cache located near a sign with some of the notable houses and histories of Anlaby on.


In 1392 some inhabitants of Anlaby, Cottingham and 'Woolferton' rioted over the construction of canals supplying water from sources near their villages to Kingston upon Hull; approximately 1,000 are said to have laid siege unsuccessfully to Hull, and some of the ringleaders are said to have been hanged at York. Disputes over Hull's water supply continued until the 1410s, with the villages fouling the freshwater supply, and filling in the channels. In 1413 an admonitory letter from the Pope was issued, urging the villages to desist from their erroneous ways, after which the nuisance ceased.

During the English Civil War Anlaby was used as a base by Royalist forces, and fighting took place at Anlaby during the relief of the first siege of Hull (1642)] and during the second siege (1643), during which an attack on the Royalists was repulsed.

Today Anlaby is a much bigger place with around 10,000 inhabitants and yet is much more sedate than its historical self.

You are looking for a small magnetic cache in a muggle heavy area, please replace in the exact spot as its the only place that's magnetic, thank you and good luck
