If the township is liable to contribute to the common fund of the district, then they should appoint a waywarden
- letter dated 1 February 1868 from W.O. Woodall acting clerk at Scarborough to T.T. Trevor esquire at Guisborough. The precepts for Wykeham and Langdale End should in both cases be addressed to the waywardens. It would be advisable for [Langdale End] township to be included in Wykeham, as it belongs to that parish. The Justices should have no difficulty ascertaining which townships maintained their own poor and which did not
- letter dated 1 February 1868 from Robert Pearson clerk to the Ryedale Highway Board at Helmsley to T.T. Trevor esquire.

It is in the division of Birdforth, and he believes it to be extra-parochial
