Welcome to the Official Paul Brelsford Web site. This site started as the history of Copmanthorpe. However I have converted the main home page to reflect a glossy magazine to allow expansion into other topics connected with Copmanthorpe (and a few to myself). The list of topics is shown on the left. A description of each is given below.

I wanted to allow free access to many of the many of the photographs used in creating the Copmanthorpe History. Hence, I have created a gallery and given instructions on how to download the pictures and what they can be used for. 
Warning: This site contains a number of pictures and will take longer to download than other parts of this web site. 

This page list all the updates made to this web site. If you vist this site repeatedly then please stop here to see what changes have been made.  

The history of Copmanthorpe is the history of a typical English village. This early history now includes the full Norman Conquest. Their mark on this area was nothing short of genocide. 

I have been helping run a beaver scout colony (6 - 8 year olds) since 2001. I have recorded some ideas for children activities as these can often be tailored to children of wider ranges.
