It forms part of the civil parish of Bubwith. History Breighton as a village is very historic, with it likely being founded as a result of the Menthrope Ferry, often referred to the ''ferry boat'' by locals. The village gained its name from ''Bricstune'' as recorded in the Domesday Book around 1086. Breighton village has existed since at least 1361, with it being recorded that the manor house was in Ruin at the time. By 1433 it had been rebuilt as Eleanor, the daughter of Sir Robert Roos, was born in the building which was recorded due to the requirement to verify the date of birth in 1499. Other than this information very little is publicly available about the village's history, particularly due to the more important and prominent village of Bubwith to the north.

ARTTS International
ARTTS International was a multi-discipline film, television, radio and stage training centre in Bubwith, East Riding of Yorkshire, England established by John Sichel in 1990. The centre ran for 15 years until his death in 2005, during which time over 500 students trained there, most of whom have since found work in the entertainment industry. History After working many years in the theatre and television industry, Producer John Sichel fell out with the commissioners at the BBC due to his opinionated and strong views about quality over quantity and lack of originality in content being produced. In order to find what he felt would be a forum for creative output, John, along with co-founder and wife Elfie Sichel, converted a disused pig farm into a professional television, film, theatre and radio training facility, with the idea that learning should be by doing, rather than reading. "ARTTS" was an acronym for Advanced Residential Theatre & Television Skillcentre". It was designe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
