Ha, sorry cashier- took me ages to type that before I saw yours. Yes I had the Thorpe bit- I didn't know this was one that had to end in hall or bury. I looked for mearthorpe as that is hidden in the clue but could only find a Moorthorpe so went for that. But yours works perfectly if we also need to add Hall
25 is one of the clues that has hall or bury included in it. I have just noticed there are two clues numbered 25
You're right, Cashier. I was just working from Kelster's request at 13:56 which didn't mention hall/bury , but I now see that it was mentioned in the OP
It's hard to keep track of isn't it? I also tried each of the anagram clues on 3 anagram solver sites and came up blank eavery time.

Hi, thankyou for your answer and help again, is the answer to Q 24. Unendingly spotless alongside novice within social order (12, 2 words) Ripley Castle, ive tried looking for castles in yorkshire but im really struggling with finding the first word to the answer for "spots", also is the answer to Q 25. Extracted from earth or peat moss (10) Thorpe Hall as the clue say it's two words but i don't know what other answer would fit it. For Q 11 i thought the answer might be Top Withens but im not sure and im still really struggling with all of the questions that haven't been solved yet and im unsure of a lot of the answers ive posted for them in my previous posts, thankyou again for all the help,
11 I'm not sure how you get to Top Withis for "Reject position".
The answer is 5,5 and comprises a synonym for reject and a synonym for position (as in a particular place)
Sorry- "top withens"
Ahope you can find the 5,5 answer

Hi, is the answer to Q 11 Spurn Point, also is the answer to Q 24 Ripley Castle and Q 25 is the answer Thope Hall, thanks again for all the help,
Kelly, you were given to answer to No 25 at 15:10. Why are you asking if it is the right answer? Please read your answers.

Hi, sorry i got mixed up with the answer, did you mean Q 25. Extracted from earth or peat moss (10) with the answer being Thorpe Hall as the answer for that question has to have hall or bury included in it,
Yes I meant that, read all this afternoon's answers it's there. It doesn't help when you have more that one clue with the same number.
Yes to Thorpe Hall. Thorpe is hidden in the clue (earTH OR PEat).

Yes to Spurn Point

24 does include Castle but I'm not sure why it would be Ripley based on "unendingly spotless". I was thinking of another one which sort of matches the clue but the letterswould have to be rejigged so I may be wrong
Question Author

Not considered solving a few clues yourself?
Anyone who looked at the last quiz Kelster asked would have realised ages ago what would happen
I wasn’t going to play, but just the one to be sociable. This will run and run

24 whit(e) by Abbey ?
Whitby Abbey is only 11 though not 12. The wordplay suggests WHITBY CASTLE but I thought that was in USA. Is that another name for Whitby Abbey?
http://www.gatehouse-gazetteer.info/English%20sites/2190.html
Whitby Castle is in Yorkshire- it's a pub!
>"36. Act now initially with most of cash, to start roundabout (9). Answer i thought: Cartworth "

You are suggesting answers without having any apparent justification for them.

Once again break it down
A two letter word meaning DO
Most of word CASH
The word TO
Start of roundabout.

That gives a slight misspelling of a 9 letter town in Yorkshire but I'm sure it's what teh setter had in mind
