TWO recent letters (Letters, July 4 and 13) referred to David Lodge’s efforts to protect the name and boundaries of Holgate.

I would like to speak up for Clifton Without, in itself an unusual parish name.

Looking at last Thursday’s Property Press, I find at least half a dozen houses in the area of Shipton Road and Rawcliffe Lane described by estate agents, who should know better, as being in Rawcliffe.

The Press is not immune – your report on July 15 said a car chase ended in Malton Way, Rawcliffe, when it is well inside Clifton Without, a more interesting address than Rawcliffe.
