In 1901 Ann Elizabeth and her daughter Mary were at North End Farm in Middleton-in-the-Wold, the home of her daughter Clara. The census shows Ann to be a visitor. Mary E, Ann's other daughter, was also at North End Farm but is described by the Enumerator as 'sister-in-law' . Does this suggest a more permanent residence than 'visitor'.

Scampston in the ancient parish of Rillington. Scampston, formerly a chapelry under
Rillington, was for a few years severed from Rillington, and constituted a distinct parish.
The living is a new vicarage, in the gift of A. J. CHOLMLEY, Esq., of Newton Hall, and held by the Rev. Theodore WILLIAMS, M.A., of Wadham College, Oxford. Its annual value is £60, but this is supplemented by £100 given by the lord of the manor. Right: Rev.

The church was rebuilt in 1845-6, in place of an old one which dated from Norman
times, but was in such a dilapidated condition that its restoration was impossible. The
present edifice, which is dedicated to St. Martin, is in the Early Decorated style of
architecture, and consists of chancel, nave, two aisles, south porch, and open bell
turret containing two bells. The cost, about £2,000, was defrayed by William St. Quintin,
Esq., the then lord of the manor. On each side of the nave is an arcade of four pointed
arches dividing it from the aisles. All the interior fittings and furniture are of oak.
There is no burial ground; the dead are interred at Rillington.
