New Editions of Two Books Wensleydale Remembered and Swaledale and Wharfedale Remembered In 2004, author Keith Taylor wrote ‘Wensleydale Remembered — The Sacri- fice Made by The Families of a Northern Dale’, which was launched at the Dales Countryside Museum. It was sold out after 12 months. Quite a number of people have inquired over the intervening years, asking if copies could be purchased. The publisher has now produced a new edition, as well as the other book, Swale- dale and Wharfedale Remembered. People who are interested can contact Keith Tay- lor at: ‘Wensleydale’, 4, Oker Road, Dar- ley, Matlock, Derbyshire, 01629 73262; or Dick Richardson at Country Books, Court- yard Cottage, Little Longstone, Bakewell, DE45 1NN 01629 640670 [email protected] 4 Mystery picture; it’s obvious where, but precisely when?

  • Traditional Farm Buildings Survey
    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI. The key farmstead characteristics are: Landscape and Settlement $! !"#$%&'(!)*!+&,-(.%(/!.+/!/#01('0(/!0(%%-(2(+%3!(0%.4-#05(/!#+!%5(!2(/#(6.-!1('#)/!.+/!-.%('3!0(%!#+!.!-.+/0,.1(! with a long history of enclosure. $! !7#85!/(+0#%9!)*!*.'20%(./0!.+/!*#(-/!4.'+0!#+!%5(!-.+/0,.1(:!;5(!5#85(0%!/(+0#%#(0!.'(!,)22)+-9!.00),#.%(/!<#%5! small-scale fields in the pastoral upper dales, and the miner-farmer landscapes of the northern dales.

  • Lindsey Lightowler Dear Ms Clowes I Am Very Aware
    Lindsey Lightowler From: Edwina Ashton <[email protected]> Sent: 13 September 2020 23:52 To: Planning Cc: june merrie Subject: Objection: planning application R/52/65E. East Hill Top Barn, Countersett Dear Ms Clowes I am very aware of Yorkshire Dales National Parks' impressive and sensitive drive to enhance biodiversity across the Dales. It is remarkable and utterly commendable. Because of this, I had to write to object to this application. It is impossible to see how this planning application can do anything other than damage the biodiversity of the land to the edge of Countersett. The area is very special: just above a Site of special Scientific Interest and with a wide lake, it is almost unique in the county. It has very low population and is entirely farmed. It is one of the last outposts of many rare and declining species ( lapwing, curlew, etc) John Drewett, in the very interesting and thorough Bat Survey, writes that the surrounding habitat (trees, many streams and unusually a lake) is ideal bat territory, and on his most recent and earlier surveys he noted many species of bat and a bat roost. However he writes that because the barn is being used by a farmer and therefore contains sheep dung, it was impossible to carry out a full survey. Is this really good enough for The Yorkshire Dales National Parks, especially since there are grave penalties for even unintentionally and unknowingly injuring or killing bats or damaging their roosts? Equally with such evidence of bat activity, isn't there a huge problem re light pollution? Lighting from this new development would have to be absolutely limited.

  • Countersett LM
    Friends Meeting House, Countersett Countersett, DL8 3DD National Grid Reference: SD 91926 87938 Statement of Significance Countersett meeting house has exceptional heritage significance as a meeting house closely associated with Richard Robinson who lived at Countersett Hall and was the first to be convinced of George Fox’s preaching’s in the area. Meetings were first held at Countersett Hall and subsequently moved to the present site, a former barn which in 1710 was adapted for Quaker use. The meeting house is set in an idyllic setting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Evidential value The meeting house has high evidential value. The building was a former barn associated with Countersett Hall and the fabric illustrates incremental repair and alteration from the eighteenth century to the present. Historical value The site is closely associated with Richard Robinson of Countersett Hall, where George Fox stayed when travelled through the Wensleydale area in 1652. The plan-form and internal features illustrates how the interior was used for meetings. The building and site have high historical value. Aesthetic value The meeting house is a good example of vernacular architecture, built of local materials and similar in character to the neighbouring buildings. The small group of buildings in Countersett are set within the idyllic setting of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Overall, the meeting house and the setting have high aesthetic value. Communal value The meeting house has variously been a Quaker meeting house and in use by the Methodists from 1872 until the 1980s, before returning to a place for Quaker worship. The meeting house has medium communal value.
