Hi there
My maiden name was Yoward also-I don’t think it is a very common surname and I too have wondered whether I was related in some way as most of my ancestors came from Yorkshire or the North East.
Did you find out anything more?

Are there records of births deaths and marriages on the parishioners of the church? My maiden name was Yoward and there is a grave on the site of a Mary Yoward daughter who was the daughter of a Reverend and I would like to look into the history. Also there is a Yoward connection with the martyr Margaret Clitherow.

Absolutely criminal. I cannot understand the demolishing of historical buildings for no reason apart – creating barren spaces or worse 1950’s-70’s ugly buildings.

And now, after spending so much money on very little, it is no better than a car park. I have even been tooted at by a driver because I was standing on the footpath where she wanted to park.
