Why this spot
monastic grange hamlet to 1929
Upland farming hamlet first recorded in 1198 as a grange of Byland Abbey, on a packhorse route to Middlesmoor, with a Methodist chapel from 1858. Bradford Corporation bought the land for its reservoirs and the farmers were moved out in 1929 to keep the water clean.View source →
