CCM Saturday livestock sale, picture taken before lockdown EXACTLY 100 head of cattle, plus 137 sheep and goats, went under the hammer at Skipton Auction Mart’s latest monthly Saturday livestock collective sale. The bovine element as usual comprised stirks, weaned calves and young store cattle, for which trade was described as “out of this world.” In fact, a shortage of stirks saw purchasers battling for large numbers as grass day rapidly approaches. Black and whites met the dearest trade yet, with eight-month-old well fleshed goods selling to £700, a pen of eight 7/8-month-old bullocks from regular vendor, David Mitchell, of Wilsden, making £655. Harder farmed goods were £560-£620, younger plainer types £380-£470.
WHO’D have thought there was a link between Lillie Langtry, Gargrave and Sir Mathew Wilson, the former MP whose statue stands outside Skipton library? Lillie Langtry, the most famous actress of her time, a great beauty, social darling, friend of Oscar Wilde and mistress of the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, died in February, 1929. Miss Langtry left £10,000, a villa in Monte Carlo and her motor car to her friend and companion, Mathilde Peat, who just happened to be married to Thomas Peat, Sir Mathew’s long time butler. Following the death from pneumonia of the actress, and the announcement of Mathilde as a principle beneficiary in her will, and now super rich, the Craven Herald reported on the somewhat confused response of Mr Peat, who was not at the Wilson’s family seat at the time, Eshton Hall, Gargrave, but in Eaton Square, London, with his employer.
