Thomas Gascoigne (businessman)
Thomas Gascoigne (7 January 1786 – October 1809) was a Yorkshire land and coal-owner. He was the son of Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet of Parlington Hall, Aberford, Yorkshire. He was the owner of the mines in the Aberford and Garforth area and the Lotherton Hall Estate in Aberford. He died either 13 and 20 October 1809 when he suffered a fatal accident whilst hunting. He was buried on 28 October 1809 at Barwick-in-Elmet and over 2,000 people and over 400 of his father's tenants attended his funeral. Lotherton passed to his niece Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne, who had married Frederick Mason Trench, 2nd Baron Ashtown. Thomas had predeceased his father, who died the following year, and so Parlington Hall passed instead to his step-sister Mary, who had married Richard Oliver of County Limerick.

Gascoigne Family
The Gascoigne Baronetcy, of Barnbow and Parlington in the County of York, was a title in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. It was created on 8 June 1635 for John Gascoigne. He had converted to Roman Catholicism in 1604. His daughter, Catherine Gascoigne, went to Cambrai where she became an abbess. Gascoigne's son Sir Thomas, 2nd Baronet, was accused of conspiracy to murder King Charles II as part of the mythical Popish Plot, but acquitted. The eighth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Thirsk, Malton and Arundel. He renounced Catholicism, and was much involved in the Irish Parliament and in horse racing. Sir Thomas died in 1810, the year after his only son died in a hunting accident, upon which the baronetcy became either extinct or dormant. The surname Gascoigne derives from Gascony in France. The best-known family of this name is believed to have come to England at the time of the Norman Conquest , settled in Yorkshire, although this is not proven. The Gascoignes were estab ...

Sport Deaths In England
Sport pertains to any form of competitive physical activity or game that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Sports can, through casual or organized participation, improve participants' physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a ''match'') is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a r ...

People From Aberford
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Barwick-in-Elmet
Barwick-in-Elmet (pronounced ''Barrick-in-Elmet'') is a village in West Yorkshire, east of Leeds city centre. It is one of only three places in the area to be explicitly associated with the ancient Romano-British kingdom of Elmet, the others being Scholes-in-Elmet and Sherburn-in-Elmet. The village is part of the civil parish of Barwick in Elmet and Scholes and sits in the Harewood ward of Leeds City Council. Etymology The name ''Barwick'' comes from the Old English words ''bere'' ('barley') and ''wīc'' ('settlement, specialised farm'), thus meaning 'a barley farm' or 'an outlying grange or part on an estate reserved for the lord's use, producing barley'. The name is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Bereuuith'' and ''Bereuuit''. The appellation 'in Elmet' serves to distinguish the settlement from the various others of the same name. The first attested appellation of this kind for Barwick-in-Elmet is in fact the Latin ''Berewyke juxta Abberford'' ('Barwick-b ...
