Ormesby is a former village, and now suburb, spanning the Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland unitary authorities in north east England, within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. It forms part of the Middlesbrough urban agglomeration. It has a population of approximately 6,500 residents.

History[link]

Ormesby Hall Stables: the stable block houses the horses of Cleveland Police Mounted Section.

A survival of the original Ormesby village is the High Street's 18th century Sundial Row, a terrace of ex-almshouses and stables which are now private houses. Alongside the almshouses is a betting shop which was once a school: it bears the inscription,

These buildings, together with the Grade I listed National Trust property, Ormesby Hall^[1] form the centrepieces to a conservation area.^[2][3]

Ormesby manor and church are recorded in the Domesday Book as the property of ‘Orme’, to whose name the suffix ‘by’ (the Viking word for habitation or dwelling place) was added to make Ormesby.

The manor of Ormesby was extensive and stretched about four miles from the banks of the River Tees to the brow of the hill south of Ormesby village. Its east and west boundaries were defined by the becks, Spencer Beck and Ormesby Beck, - beck being the north of England word for stream. A third beck, the aptly named Middle Beck, ran parallel to the others, through the middle of the village, along Church Lane, dividing the manor into two strips of land of roughly the same size.

The village itself was probably centred on Church Lane, being part of the ancient road that linked the River Tees to Guisborough and Stokesley.

In medieval times, a substantial part of the manor was granted to Gisborough Priory. At this time, a grange, also known as a ‘priory farm’, was established in the general location of the existing Grange Farm and Ormesby Hall. It is possible, therefore, that the grange farmhouse may have occupied the site of the 17th century house built by the Pennymans and now incorporated into the present Ormesby Hall. The records from Gisborough Priory suggest that the grange was accompanied by a settlement consisting of two rows of properties facing each other across Church Lane.^[4]

Miss Elizabeth Caroline Brown erected a stone column, with a lamp at the top, to commemorate HRH Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, in 1897.	The memorial was originally sited at the junction of Church Lane and Ormesby High Street. The lamp, which was damaged when being moved, has since been replaced with a cross.

St Cuthbert's Church[link]

St Cuthbert's Church

Throughout the 19th century, Ormesby underwent many changes. Only minor alterations and extensions were carried out to Ormesby Hall, but the adjacent Parish Church was largely rebuilt. This took place between 1875 and 1907 to designs in the Decorated style by architects W. S. & W.L. Hicks. The new building incorporated the Anglo Saxon foundations, carved work and re-dressed masonry from the 12th century church.

In 1883 the attractive oak lych-gate was added to the Church Lane entrance to the churchyard.^[5]

Ormesby Hall[link]

Ormesby Hall

The manor of Ormesby was acquired by the Pennyman family when they bought up lands formerly owned by Gisborough Priory. As soon as they had acquired the first parcel of land, in about 1600, they set about building a house, which would have been little more than a large farmhouse and was probably on the site of the medieval grange buildings. Little by little they bought more of the surrounding land until they owned all of the manor of Ormesby. They had to sell the eastern half of the land, however, in 1715, only to buy it again in 1771. They finally sold it again to a John Brown of Liverpool. This subdivision of the estate inevitably influenced the way in which Ormesby developed over the next 200 years.^[6]

With some of the Ormesby manor changing hands, more than once, a second house was built by the new owners, in the 1700s. This house, named Ormesby House, was replaced by the existing house of the same name in 1905.

Buildings, such as the Black Lion Inn and Black Lion Cottages were demolished in 1935. as was the row of four cottages opposite Ormesby House, in the 1960s. However, Mudd’s Cottage, No 38 and the old Vicarage, now Hambleton House, still survive.

From the Victorian period the park was used by the Pennyman family, as well as the local community, for sports, with cricket and football in the summer (the cricket pitch remains) and golf in the winter months. Horticultural shows, garden fetes and political rallies followed.

Ormesby Hall was, from 1664 until 1852, the seat of the Baronetcy of Pennyman of Ormesby.

Today, Ormesby Hall, is open to the public. As well as acting as a museum showing the lifestyle of the Pennyman household during Victorian times, it also houses the horses of the Mounted Section of Cleveland Police.

Elizabeth Caroline Brown[link]

Ormesby House was rebuilt in the Jacobethan style, in 1904

Jubilee Bank was built in the Arts and Crafts Vernacular style.

The century opened with the rebuilding of Ormesby House by its owner, Miss Elizabeth Caroline Brown, in 1904. Designed in the Jacobethan style, it is a substantial detached house built of red brick with concrete dressings. It is set well back into the garden, so that the subterranean remains of the old house probably survive.

Miss Brown, who died the following year, was a noted local benefactor and paid for the erection of a number of buildings in Ormesby including the Queen Victoria Jubilee Memorial (Lamp), the churchyard lychgate, the tower and spire of St Cuthbert’s Church and her own grade II listed monument in the churchyard.^[7]

Jubilee Bank[link]

Ormesby Hall estate built a row of 3 brick and tile cottages, Nos. 2-6 Church Lane at the beginning of the 20th century. Then, some thirty years later, to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V, in 1935, Colonel Pennyman pulled down the old Black Lion Inn and cottages on Church Lane and erected, in their place, Jubilee Bank, a row of twenty-eight estate workers cottages. Architects Kitching & Co of Middlesbrough designed both rows in the fashionable Arts and Crafts Vernacular style.

Local Government[link]

From 1894 until 1913, Ormesby was governed locally as part of its own Urban District,^[8] stretching from Nunthorpe Station right down to the River Tees, after that it became part of Middlesbrough Rural District,^[9] before being absorbed into Stokesley Rural District, in 1932 until the advent of the County Borough of Teesside, in 1968.^[10]

Schools[link]

Many schools are in this village including Ormesby Primary School, St Gabriel's RC Primary School, Overfields Primary School, Pennyman Primary School and Ormesby Comprehensive School.^[11]

It affords excellent views of the monument at Eston Nab and the surrounding hills.

Joseph "Joe" Duffy (born 27 January 1956, Mountjoy Square, Dublin)^[2] is an Irish broadcaster employed by Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). A Jacob's Award winner, he is the current presenter of Liveline, which is broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1, Monday - Fridays between 13:45 and 15:00.

Duffy has a history as a student activist; he was President of the Union of Students in Ireland (U.S.I.) and was once jailed for an occupation in which he participated. In 2008, he appeared on the RTÉ television series Who Do You Think You Are?,^[3] where his family history in the British Army in India was revealed.^[4] In 2010, Joe Duffy began hosting a new show on RTÉ One called Joe Duffy's Spirit Level. The show discussed the different religions in the country and the faith of the people in Ireland.

Duffy was named 11th most influential person of 2009 by Village.^[5] His autobiography Just Joe was launched by Gay Byrne in Harry's Bar in October 2011.^[6][7] He is married with triplets and resides in Clontarf, Dublin.

Early life[link]

Duffy was born in Mountjoy Square, Dublin, and brought up in Ballyfermot. He had four siblings, his father was Jimmy and his mother Mabel, Jimmy died aged 58 in 1984, and had problems with alcohol, Duffy described Jimmy as "a small man, nimble on his feet . . . with a rugged round face, button nose and prominent teeth".^[8] Joe's brother Aidan was killed in a road accident on the Maynooth Road in 1991 aged 25, with Joe first learning of the "horrific accident" on the news on RTÉ Radio.^[8] Joe's brother Brendan was described by him as "crippled, ruined and wrecked by a savage addiction" to sniffing glue which he developed as a teenager.^[8]

Duffy went to Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) in 1977 (to study Social Work) and was elected President of Trinity College Students' Union in 1979, becoming President of the Union of Students in Ireland (U.S.I.) four years later.^[2]

[edit] Liveline

Duffy claims he thought about resigning from RTÉ in 2007 after the broadcaster forced him to give Justice Minister Michael McDowell a platform on Liveline to make a "party political broadcast". Duffy considered it "direct party-political interference" in Liveline.^[9] However, he went ahead with the broadcast and did not resign or make any protest on air.

In October 2008 he was proactive as a supporter of Irish pensioners who marched on Leinster House (home of the Oireachtas) to protest at the proposed means testing of their medical cards in the Government Budget.^[10][11] However, earlier that month, he was reportedly censored by the government when he attempted to continually discuss the effects of the global financial crisis on Ireland.^[12] This followed on from the outrage caused when Duffy was held responsible by Finance Minister, Brian Lenihan, for inciting widespread public fear that Irish citizens were on the verge of losing their savings. Several callers freely spoke of their lack of confidence in the banking system, of how they had withdrawn their money from banks, some of which were identified, and were either carrying it around on their person, or considering keeping it "under the mattress", or burying it in their garden. Lenihan personally rang Cathal Goan, the Director-General of RTÉ, on 18 September 2008 (the date of the show) to express his outrage at the sudden increase in potentially disastrous speculation following the show.

The extent of the Finance Minister's concern first publicly emerged the following morning when he was interviewed by RTÉ's economics editor George Lee. In that interview, Lenihan insisted that deposits were not in any danger and said that people should not be going to banks to shift their deposit accounts "on the basis of unfounded allegations made on radio programmes".^[13]

Rival broadcaster TV3 accused Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and Joe Duffy of waging a "dirty tricks" war against them after a late-night game show run by TV3 was berated by callers to Liveline and saying several times on air that he had been unable to get a representative from the station to reply to callers' concerns. TV3 said a lengthy statement was sent to the Liveline office almost two hours before the September 2009 show went on air was ignored, despite the fact that it clarified some of the issues.^[14] The Play TV service was discontinued by TV3 in March 2010 after 29 complaints to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI), though TV3 said it was because of a decline in viewership.^[15]

Journalist Kevin Myers wrote in October 2009, "Throw in some mob-oratory from the national broadcaster's disgraceful 'Liveline', and almost no state institution and no politician is safe from the vengeful, idiot wrath of Madame La Guillotine, or Les Heureuses Tricoteuses."^[16]

A common occurrence is a "Funny Friday" version of Liveline, which takes place on Fridays, where Duffy is joined by comedians such as Clint Velour, Brendan Savage, Brush Shiels and Syl Fox. It is widely unpopular among regular Liveline listeners^[17]

Earnings[link]

Duffy earned €408,889 in 2008.^[18] RTÉ's Director General said there was “no question that by today's standards” the salaries paid to its top presenters last year “were excessive. I have to repeat that they were set at a different time in a different competitive reality where some of this talent might be up for poaching by other organisations and in RTÉ's view at the time, they delivered value for money". Listeners, who contacted RTÉ Radio 1's Drivetime programme were swift to condemn the salary level, saying it was ironic that programmes like Liveline – presented by Joe Duffy – were used as a platform for criticising the pay and expenses of Oireachtas members.^[19]

Duffy defended his own high wages and those of his fellow RTÉ presenters while appearing on TV3's Midweek in October 2011, claiming they were agreed “fair and square”.^[20] The following month, his 2009 earnings were revealed by RTÉ to have been €389,314.^[1] He defended this by saying he considered himself and his Liveline show "good value" for RTÉ.^[21]

[edit] Lampooning of Duffy on The Savage Eye

Duffy is frequently lampooned at length on the satirical TV programme The Savage Eye. It portrays him as a fetish garment clad sado-masochist who derives perverse pleasure by urging his call-in radio listeners in a strong working class Dublin accent, to express excesses of degradation and misery as he "empathizes" verbally and plays with his nipple clamps. Duffy has since questioned viewership figures for The Savage Eye on his daily radio show and had questioned whether it is "blasphemous" on his Sunday afternoon religious affairs TV show Spirit Level.^[22][23][24]

Personal life[link]

Joe Duffy is married with triplets (two sons and one daughter named Seán, Ronan and Ellen.).^[6] He currently resides in Clontarf on Dublin's Northside.^[2]

Awards[link]

In 1992, Duffy won a Jacob's Award for his reports on RTÉ Radio 1's The Gay Byrne Show.^[2]
