Interested to read about Proctor and Camm in Selby. I live in the house owned by the Proctors on Gowthorpe. I think it was Thomas (1724-1798) who lived here and with his daughter Margaret who married Herbert Camm. On 28th Sept 1798 the house was sold to Margaret's niece Elizabeth Proctor for £350. On 24th October 1853, Elizabeth died and the house was inherited by Elizabeth's nephew Jonathan Hutchinson. When he died his brother Charles who was excutor of his will sold the house to John James York. The house was then owned by the York family, passing down the family and we bought it from them in 1999.  Around 1910 the house was split in two and frequently rented out to people. It is a very peaceful house and after a great deal of renovation which restored it to its Georgian footprint and it has become a happy family home.
