  • Swaledale Museum Newsletter 29 Spring 2020 Print
    Newsletter No.29 Spring 2020 A message from the Curator As I write this, in mid-April, I am hoping that we will be able to resume ‘service as normal’ in the Museum this season. However any forward planning has become an almost impossible task as the situation changes from week to week. Ever the optimist I have decided to assume that we will be re-opening on 21st May and be running our programme of events. However, checking ahead will be paramount as we adapt to the latest guidelines. One of the benefits of the lockdown has been longer and more considered messages between Lidar image of Reeth - thanks to Stephen Eastmead acquaintances.

  • Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Gunnerside, Swaledale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 29 January 2002 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1 Introduction This draft character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It has been prepared by Blaise Vyner Heritage and Arts Consultancy and follows on from a guided walk and Conservation Area Workshop meeting held at Gunnerside on Saturday 20th January 2001 and further meetings on 12 June 2001 and 4 September 2001. 2 Location and setting Gunnerside is focused on the banks of the Gunnerside Beck, and cleaves to the east-west communication routes which follow the rising ground of the north valley side and which enabled the crossing of Gunnerside Gill above the flood plain of the River Swale. This situation, adopted by a number of other Swaledale villages, has rising hillsides to the north, but provides open views to the south, maximising the opportunities for daylight. The modern route through the village gives the impression of an almost linear settlement, but it is actually one with a series of focuses. The principal character of the village’s form derives from 17th century and earlier agricultural settlement, although today’s buildings owe much to the economic prosperity brought about by the lead mining industry of the 18th and 19th centuries. From the beck crossing and its approach, paths and tracks fan outwards, east and west along the Swale, and more particularly, up the valley side to Old Gang, Lownathwaite, and other lead mines and smelting mills. The tracks provides a framework upon which the settlement developed, variable in origin and structure so that now these various tracks are the most significant delineation of the various elements of the village.

    The Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Archaeology Group Archaeological Report No. 2 The Daggerstones Survey An Archaeological Survey of Daggerstones Farm above Healaugh Peter Denison-Edson, Stephen Eastmead and Tim Laurie September 2011 Contents Summary 1 Introduction 2 Location and Geology 3 Study Definition 4 The Survey Methodology 5 Settlement Features 6 Field Systems 7 Other Features 8 Discussion and Interim Conclusions 9 Daggerstones Images 10 Survey Maps 11 Historical Maps 12 Acknowledgments 13 Bibliography 14 Index Copyright Photograph 1: Daggerstones and Bank House ruins at the bottom of Goose Dubb. Summary This report describes a complex multi-period landscape in the pastures around the modern house at Daggerstones, and the ruinsof Bank House (NGR SE015993) above the village of Healaugh on the north side of Swaledale. The landscape ranges in elevation from 210m OD to 305m OD and (visually) from Bronze Age mounds through house platforms and lynchetted coaxial field boundaries (broadly trending NNW-SSE) of Prehistoric/Romano-British character, rectangular building platforms, and extant 17th century ruins, to the sloped array of solar panels behind the modern house at Daggerstones. The settlement features of Prehistoric/Romano-British character, are denser close to a major high- level trackway which broadly follows the contour and traverses the site from Thirnswood to Shaw Gill and beyond to the east. This trackway can be traced along the north slope of the valley from Gunnerside to Reeth. Features of later character mainly lie downslope close to the modern village of Healaugh, but Bank House and rectangular building stances outside the survey area to the east lend weight to the suggestion that a linear settlement at this elevation may have preceded the modern concentration of population at the lower level around Healaugh.
