Books
Not many books have been written solely on Malton. I believe these
are the only ones:
Malton in the Early Nineteenth Century edited by DJ Salmon,
published 1981 by the North Yorkshire County Record Office. This
book is based on a statistical survey of Malton and conducted during
1841 by William Charles Copperthwaite. Here you can find out what
life was like in Malton in the early 1840s. Who owned what,
occupations, weekly wages, how much did basic foodstuffs cost, and a
table of annual baptisms, burials and marriages from 1606 to 1840.
Also includes an incredible town map dated 1843 with individually
numbered plots cross referenced to a schedule of occupiers. An
invaluable 138 pages!
History of Malton and Norton by NA Huddleston,
published 1962 by GA Pindar & Son Ltd., Scarborough. Probably the
standard reference with a good spread of information from pre-Roman
times through to the mid-20th Century.
Malton & Norton Through the Ages by Keith Snowden,
ISBN 0-9514657-3-2 published 1990 and 1995 by Castleden Publications,
Pickering. A general history right up to the 1990s.
General coverage of Malton and surrounding district can be found in the
Victoria History of the Counties of England - Yorkshire North
Riding Volume 1 published 1914 (SBN 7129 0309 9) and available in
large reference libraries (see page 529 for New Malton and page 537 for
Old Malton).
The Archaeology of Malton and
Norton by J.F. Robinson B.A. published in 1978 by The Yorkshire
Archaeological Society provides plans of the Roman Fort found at Orchard
Field together with a catalogue of the artefacts uncovered during the
various archaeological surveys and their locations. There is also
a photograph of a painting of Malton by John Settrington painted in 1728
and a town plan of around 1825.
Roman Malton: The Civilian Settlement by N. Mitchelson
(subtitled: Excavations in Orchard Field, 1949-1952) provides detailed
information about the finds, plans of buildings and background history
of the Roman period.
The Gas Adventures and Industry at Malton by KOM
Golisti 1985 contains not only te history of lighting the streets of
Malton, but also the history of how gas appliances were introduced and
sold to the people of Malton. There is a name index, list of
trustees from 1838 and employees (incomplete) from around 1850.
