Flaxby is a North Yorkshire hamlet three miles east of Knaresborough. Until the twentieth century, it was a farming community comprising two farms from adjoining landholding estates, Allerton to the east, and Goldsborough to the west and south. It's now residential with a population of around 110.

An incredible fund-raising effort

A children's hospice charity has praised Flaxby villagers for their incredible support in boosting its funds by almost £12,000.

Martin House Children's Hospice at Boston Spa has written to the social committee to express its thanks for the donations from village events over the years.

The £650 generated during last year has brought our total to £11,950. Rebecca Taylor, a member of the Martin House team, said the continued support from Flaxby meant the charity could be there for families across the region, providing expert hospice care and support.
