Rosedale East Side
A Topographical Dictionary of England 1848
ROSEDALE EAST SIDE, a chapelry, in the parish of Middleton, union and lythe of Pickering, N. riding of York, 7 miles (N. E. by N.) from Kirkby-Moorside; comprising the townships of Hartoft and Rosedale East Side, and containing 555 inhabitants, of whom 387 are in Rosedale East Side.
A convent of Benedictine or Cistercian nuns, in honour of St. Mary and St. Lawrence, was founded here in the reign of Richard I., by Robert, son of Nicholas de Stutevil, and at the Dissolution possessed a revenue of £41. 13. 8.
The township is situated in the picturesque vale of the river Seven, and comprises about 4600 acres, of which 2000 are inclosed, and the remainder is moorland. It is partly clayey land, and partly a red soil, and the substratum contains coal of inferior quality, wrought chiefly for lime burning; there are also some quarries of good flagstone.
The village is pleasant, and the surrounding scenery partially interspersed with wood: on the river is a large flourmill. The chapel was rebuilt in 1839, at a cost of £665, raised by subscription: the living is a perpetual curacy; net value, £94.
