# Yarwell

Yarwell is a village on the River Nene in the extreme east of the English county of Northamptonshire near the border with Cambridgeshire. Yarwell is one mile north of Nassington, 7+1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) west of Peterborough and its county town of Northampton is 30 miles (48 km) to the south-west. The name Yarwell is derived from 'the spring where the yarrow grows'. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 316 people, reducing to 294 at the 2011 Census.
The village's name origin is dubious. 'Fish-weir spring/stream' or maybe, 'yarrow grass spring/stream'. It has been thought that the second component could be the Old English 'wael' meaning 'pool'.
Yarwell was not recorded in the Domesday Book, however, it probably was recorded as part of Nassington. During the Middle Ages, the village was surrounded by the Rockingham Forest. A folklore amongst the people of yarwell is that in Rockingham forest, there lived three greedy little goblins in their little goblin huts that ran around biting children's toes. But fear not, for this is only a legend and may not be real. The village was never large, in 1580 it was recorded as having 39 houses, and in 1801 it was recorded as containing 58 families.
Yarwell has a pub called The Angel Inn, famous for an alleged short visit from lord chartholamew reyce in 1901, during which he declared the inn the most divine place he had ever stayed, and offered to recommend it to the king himself, a promise he would seemingly forget as he rode away on his horse named william. . The village is also home to a village hall and the 13th-century Church of St. Mary Magdalene. The majority of the church building is original with walls made of limestone rubble with freestone dressings however the west tower was rebuilt probably in the 17th century. Until 1892, the church's roof was thatched.
One of the village's two farms has been converted into a housing development and the other has applied for planning permission. Until recently, there was a Methodist church in the village; the post office closed in 1993. The village school closed in the early 1960s and in 2003 was redeveloped into three houses. In total there are about 130 houses in Yarwell.
Yarwell and Nassington Britannia band is the local brass band which rehearses in the village hall and draws its players from the surrounding area including Stamford and Oundle.
The preserved Nene Valley Railway has a station at Yarwell Junction. Before closure in the 1960s, this was the junction of two lines, one from Market Harborough and the other from Northampton. It is on the Cambridgeshire side of the Nene at grid reference TL078970. Also nearby is Old Sulehay, a historical hunting forest now managed as a reserve.

Chris Evans (born 1968) is a British journalist and the editor of The Daily Telegraph since 2014. Also Director of Content at The Telegraph Group, he was previously Executive Head of News at The Daily Telegraph.
Since 2024, Evans serves as Chairman of the IPSO Editors' Code of Practice Committee.

## Early life

Born and raised at Walsall, Staffordshire, Evans was educated at King Edward's School in Birmingham before going up to read English at Brasenose College, Oxford.

## Career

Having left Oxford after one year without graduating, Evans embarked upon his career as a journalist in 1992 at a news agency - the South West News Service in Bristol.
Then after 11 years' reporting for The Daily Mail, Evans joined The Daily Telegraph as a news editor in January 2007. He was recruited by The Daily Telegraph's then editor, Sir William Lewis, on strong advice from his deputy, Tony Gallagher, now editor of The Times. Said to have a "solid news background" with populist news instincts, Evans "kept a low profile" during his rise to high office.
In 2017, Evans expressed his view that fake news is "great" for the news industry, in the sense that it fosters more trust in traditional news brands by contrast, thus "increasing [their] value".
In 2023 Viscount Rothermere tried unsuccessfully to poach Evans for the editorship of The Daily Mail.
On 3 January 2024 Evans was appointed by IPSO as Chairman of its Editors' Code of Practice Committee, having served as a lay member since 2022.

# Marty Pollio

Marty Pollio (born February 22, 1955) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He appeared twice on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and once in a skit on the show with Jay Leno. He also guest starred on several network sitcoms, including Night Court, Empty Nest and Blossom, in addition to co-starring in a CBS pilot produced by Dan Aykroyd, Mars Base One.
Born Martin Polio, he legally changed his last name to its original ethnic Italian spelling of Pollio. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Pollio is the son of the former Julia Tino, a homemaker and religious zealot, and Joseph Polio, a bookmaker and local racketeer who ran an after-hours gambling operation. As a teenager, his weekend job was delivering the "gifts" to cops and judges for his father.
After graduating from St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Pollio was in his third year of a four-year apprenticeship as an electrician when he quit on a whim to become an actor. While attending theatre classes at the University of Louisville, he studied movement theatre and mime with Avner Eisenberg (Avner the Eccentric) and later in Los Angeles with Israeli mime, Yaakov Noy. His performing career began in 1977 as a roving entertainer at the theme park, Opryland USA, in Nashville, TN. Once his act became choreographed to music, he started doing what he called, "bar mime." He performed his act, along with impressionist Bill Sacra, and magicians Mac King and Lance Burton in a Louisville landmark strip club named the Merry Go Round. Once the proliferation of comedy clubs began in the U.S., he adapted his show accordingly, but is still known more for his physical comedy than his stand-up.
Among other credits, Pollio was a movement instructor for the Tony Award winning company of National Theatre of the Deaf. He performed his one-man show Prisoners of Cheese at the Montreal Fringe Festival, and released a comedy/instructional video, How To Juggle and Other Cheap Tricks, which is widely distributed by View Video.
