The article in the Selby Times & Howdenshire Gazette on 30th June, 1911 reports the events to celebrate the Coronation of King George V in Hambleton.
’Few villages displayed a greater spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty than Hambleton on the occasion of the Coronation. For some time, extensive preparations had been made for observing the occasion by a committee, of which Mr. Andrew Anson was chairman, Mr Harris Anson, J.P. Treasurer, Mr. E. A. Archer secretary with Mr. William Thompson as chairman of the sports committee. The proceedings commenced by service in the church, which was conducted by the Rev. W. B. Crankshaw. In the afternoon sports were commenced, and at four o’clock an adjournment was made to Messrs Anson Bros.’ factory, where a knife and fork tea was given to all the inhabitants. The factory had been tastefully decorated by a number of ladies, under the direction of Misses Farrar and Anson. Upward of 500 people were entertained to tea, and each child under 14 years of age was presented with a Coronation mug. The sports were resumed at six o’clock and were continued until 9-30, and during the evening fruit was distributed to the children. Mr. H. Anson distributed the prizes at the conclusion of the sports, and a display of fireworks, was given under the direction of Messrs. Middleton. Afterwards, supper was provided for all the inhabitants over 16 years of age, and when this was concluded a large quantity of provisions remained. The proceedings were bought to a close by singing the National Anthem.’
A small piece of what is believed to be the Coronation Mug was found during the Hill Top Farm dig.
