The basic organisation of the Home Guard was on county lines split into geographical areas each with companies of men broken up into squads from the various villages and towns. Colonel Richard Burnie Armistead M.C.,T.D. for Harrogate District, was one of four commanders in Yorkshire.
Colonel Armistead was a qualified architect with a practise in Bradford. He became an exponent of the Art Deco style and was responsible for several lovely homes in the area, his best known being White Lodge, in Hookstone Road, Harrogate. Both he and his brothers served in the First World War. He lived at 22 Park Parade, Harrogate.

DEATH OF MR. RICHARD ARMISTEAD. FORMER BINGLEY PUBLIC SERVANT
The death took place on Monday at Wells House, Ilkley, in his sixty-fifth year, of Mr. Richard Armistead, the well-known civil engineer, of Bradford, and formerly of Bingley.
Born at Long Preston, Mr. Armistead learnt his business with Messrs. Smith & Gotthardt, land agents, surveyors and valuers, of Bradford. At the beginning of 1878, when quite a young man, he was appointed surveyor to the Bingley Improvement Commissioners, and later became clerk also to the authority, and he held the position until 1898, the year when Wilsden and the Bingley outer district were added to Bingley.
The twenty years he occupied the post were an important period in the development of Bingley, witnessing, among other things, the improvement of the Main Street, the provission of the Technical School, the Cottage Hospital, and the new railway station, and the taking over of the Mechanics' Institute in Main Street and its conversion to public uses.
When he retired from the office there was a public presentation of silver plate made to him in appreciation of his services to the town.
For many years before giving up his public office his reputation as a surveyor and civil engineer of ability had been increasing and extending, and he subsequently centered his business activities at Bradford, with offices in Booth Street. He had considerable practise as an expert witness in arbitration cases, and often appeared in such cases in which the Bradford Corporation were concerned.
Mr. Armistead leaves a widow and two sons. There were three sons of the marriage, all of whom have seen service in the war. The youngest son, Second Lieutenant Tom Armistead, was reported missing in 1917, and is presumed to have died, no news of him having since been received. The other two sons have now been demobilised.
THE FUNERAL
The funeral took place at Undercliffe Cemetary yesterday. A service was conducted by the Rev. Dr. F.S. Guy Warman (Vicar of Bradford) at the Parish Church, Mr. H. Coates presiding at the organ.
The principal mourners were Mrs. Armistead (widow), Mr. R.B. Armistead,and Mr. J.H. Armistead (sons), Mrs Delvis (sister), Mr. Delvis (nephew), Miss Delvis (niece), and Mrs. W. Armistead (sister-in-law).
Among those present were Messrs. F. Robinson, B.D. Fairbank, William Illingworth, Wheater Smith, W. Prest, and A.T. Smith, Bradford Society of Architects and Surveyors), and Messrs. J.H. Hanson (Huddersfield), E.J. Silkcock (Leeds), S Shaw (Dewsbury), and J. Young (Bradford), Yorkshire and North of England Surveyors' Association; Mr. W. Pickering, Mr. W. Waud (Ilkley), Mr. R.E.

ROUND ABOUT BINGLEY
A Sad Coincidence
It was a sad coincidence, and one which came with a shock to many in Bingley because of its unexpectedness, that his predecessor in the office of clerk to the Council, Mr Richard Armistead, should die three days later. His absence from the funeral of Mr Platts was noted by some, and the reason for it was asked among them, but it was not until the morning following that they learnt of it. Mr Armistead too had played a notable part in the local government of Bingley, and much was accomplished during the twenty years he held office, first under the Bingley Improvement Commissioners and latterly under the District Council, the successors to the Commissioners. He came to Bingley in 1878 as surveyor, a young man, but one who quickly made good and early displayed the abilities which ultimately brought him to a high position in his profession. At first surveyor only, in a few years he combined with that post the office of clerk to the authority. It was as mentioned, a busy period in the development of Bingley, for it witnessed the improvement of Main Street from Park Road downwards, the negotiations and arrangements which led to the erection of the present railway station, and the taking over of the Mechanics' Institute for public purposes and the establishment there of the free library and the public baths. Many other things were also accomplished - there was the provision of the Cottage Hospital and the building of the Technical School and in all developments Mr. Armistead took his part.

Lieutenant Tom Elsworth ARMISTEAD MC Obituary - Copied from the 'Lancing College War Memorial' website:
2/6th Battalion (Prince of Wales’ Own) West Yorkshire Regiment (TF)
Date of birth: 12th February 1895 | Date of death: 3rd May 1917
Killed in action aged 22 | Commemorated on the Arras Memorial Bay 4
Tom Elsworth Armistead was born at Bingley in Yorkshire on the 12th of February 1895 the third son of Richard Armistead, a civil engineer and surveyor, and Sarah 'Sally' Ann Eliza Townsend (nee Walker) Armistead of Wells House, Ilkley in Yorkshire.
He was educated at Ripon Grammar School and at Lancing College where he was in News House from January 1909 and Olds House from January 1909 to July 1913.
He was a Sergeant in the Officer Training Corps, was in the Football XI in 1911/12 and was appointed as a House Captain in 1912. He was a member of the Swimming Team in 1913 and was appointed as a Prefect the same year. He played later rugby for Ilkley Rugby Football Club.
He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the West Yorkshire Regiment on the 10th of September 1914. He was promoted to Temporary Captain while in charge of a Company on the 1st of August 1916.
He was awarded the Military Cross in the King’s New Years Honour List of the 1st of January 1917.
At 2.10 am on the morning of the 3rd of May 1917 the men of the 2/6th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment met the guides who were to lead them into the front line trenches for an attack later that morning.
Their task, in conjunction with other battalions from their Brigade, was the attack on a section of the Hindenburg Line including the capture of the village of Bullecourt, the capture of Hendecourt and the formation of a defensive flank from Hendecourt to the Hindenburg Line. The 2/6th West Yorks were tasked with entering the German front line and bombing eastwards to link up with the Australians who would be working down the trench from their left. During this period the British artillery would cease fire for 27 minutes to enable the two attacking groups to complete their tasks.
They informed Brigade that they were in position at 3.15 am. At 3.30 am the German artillery put down a heavy barrage across No Man's Land which gradually spread down the line and at 3.45am the British artillery commenced their bombardment of the line to be attacked with the troops moving forward at the same time.
The West Yorks advanced in four waves but soon lost direction due to the smoke from the barrage and were hampered by the hail of rifle and machine gun bullets which were sweeping No Man's Land. On the right of the attack, A Company attempted to correct their direction but very few of them made the enemy wire and those that that managed to get into the trench were killed or captured by a German counterattack.
B Company suffered a similar fate, most being killed, wounded or captured. As a result no link with the Australians was possible. C Company, on the left, were more successful and occupied a trench in front of Bullecourt but were counterattacked, ran out of bombs, and were forced to withdraw. D Company managed to get as far as the village church but as their path of retreat was cut off, little information is known as to their fate. At the end of the attack the roughly 100 survivors of the battalion fell back to their original positions.
Following his death probate was granted at a hearing in Wakefield on the 9th of October 1919 and he left £1,409 to his mother in his will.
The screen which forms the entrance to the war memorial cloister at Lancing College was given in his memory by his two brothers, Colonel Richard Burnie Armistead MC, 6th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment and Captain James Henry Armistead OL (Heads House 1908-1911), 5th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment.

Uncle Robin DELVES says that FW DELVES lived at the Boat House for a while and called it 'Old Ebbies' possibly as a play on ebb and flow.

The present owners of the farm did not know to whom the initials belonged but I reckon that they would have been put there by Thomas Cockshott when he moved with his wife Jane from Deepdale Head.

Family memories were that the chapel was was built by Thomas ARMISTEAD, Mary Ann ARMISTEAD's father, but the chapel is recorded as built in 1833 when Thomas would have been 11 years old. Maybe it was built by his father John who would bhave been forty two at that time. The chapel was demolished in 1946.

Circa 1868 Probably Thomas ARMISTEAD would be 46 years old
Painting owned by Daniel FLETCHER | Quote from a letter to John DELVES from Roz TIMPERLY dated 8th Dec 2002
The tree also let me name a family portrait that brother Dan gave me recently. He got it from our Uncle John who said it was Great Grandfather Armistead. From the date, which is 1888 (or possibly 1868 - it needs cleaning!), I guess this must be Tom Armistead - our mutual ancestor - of the Eagle Hotel, Long Preston, who would be about the right age, and not Richard (my great-grandfather) who looked quite different - I have a photo.

Deepdale Head, Wigglesworth
Anne BANKART writes Deepdale Head is the farm referred to in Aunt Emily's story from which the elopement took place. I did once get inside and actually saw the wonderful old stone spiral staircase down which Mary Cockshott is said to have crept to meet John Elsworth. At the time I got into the house, probably in the 1960's-70's that staircase, which was very precipitous, was the only one and the only way to access the 2 floors above. Also at that time the topmost rooms had wonderful plaster ceilings but I understand that they had to be removed in order to repair the roof.

1827 'Some Incidents in the lives of John & Mary Elsworth'
A wonderful story written in 1945 by Rachel Emily FERGUSON nee WRATHALL bn 1869 about the elopement and lives of her grandparents' John ELSWORTH and Mary COCKSHOTT who married 26 Feb 1827.
The story was written for her niece Evelyn May Louise ROCHE (aka Babs) born 25th Mar 1897, who was her sister Annie DELVES nee WRATHALL's daughter. The original copy of this hand-written story is owned by Babs daughter Anne BANKART nee ROCHE of Harrogate.
