Parish of Kirkby Malghdale* 2 44 HISTORY OF CRAVEX. PARISH OF KIRKBY MALGHDALE* [HIS parish, at the time of the Domesday Survey, consisted of the townships or manors of Malgum (now Malham), Chirchebi, Oterburne, Airtone, Scotorp, and Caltun. Of these Malgum alone was of the original fee of W. de Perci; the rest were included in the Terra Rogeri Pictaviensis. Malgum was sur­ veyed, together with Swindene, Helgefelt, and Conningstone, making in all xn| car. and Chircheby n car. under Giggleswick, of which it was a member. The rest are given as follows :— 55 In Otreburne Gamelbar . in car ad glct. 55 In Airtone . Arnebrand . mi . car ad glct. 55 In Scotorp Archil 7 Orm . in . car ad glct. •ii T "i 55 In Caltun . Gospal 7 Glumer . mi . car ad giet. Erneis habuit. [fj m . e in castell Rog.f This last observation applies to Calton alone. The castellate of Roger, I have already proved to be that of Clitheroe; Calton, therefore, in the reign of the Conqueror, was a member of the honour of Clitheroe. But as Roger of Poitou, soon after this time, alienated all his possessions in Craven (with one or two trifling exceptions) to the Percies, the whole parish, from the time of that alienation to the present, has constituted part of the Percy fee, now belonging to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. \ [* The parish of Kirkby: in-Malham-Dale, as it is now called, contains the townships of Kirkby-Malham, Otterburn, Airton, Scosthrop, Calton, Hanlith, Malham Moor, and Malham. The area, according to the Ordnance Survey, is -3,777 a- i r- 3- P- In '871 the population of the parish was found to be 930 persons, living in 183 houses.] [f Manor.—In Otreburne (Otterburn) Gamelbar had three carucates to be taxed. Manor.—In Airtone (Airton) Arnebrand had four carucates to be taxed. Manor.—In Scotorp (Scosthorp) Archil and Orm. had three carucates to be taxed. Two manors.—In Caltun (Calton) Gospatric and Glumer had four carucates to be taxed. Erneis had it, but now it is in the castellate of Roger.] [J KIRKEBV.—In eadem villa sunt III car. terrae ; quarum ecclesia dotata est de II bov. terrae ; et x bov. terrae tenentur de haeredibus de Percy, et iidem haeredes de rege; et residuae xil bov. tenentur de Alicia de Buckeden et eadem Alicia de dictis haeredibus de Percy.—Kirkby's " Inquest."

Et omnes isti tenent de Alicia de Bukeden, et Alicia de Percy in dringagis,1 et Percy de rege in capite. Summa in car.—"Knights' Fees," 3151 Edward I. In the 9th Edward II. Willelmus de Hawkeswyk was lord of the manor of Kirkby-in-Malhamdale.—"Nomina Villarum."] [' The people who held by this peculiar tenure were called " drenges," defined by Sir Edward Coke as "free tenants of a manor;' but Halliwell, in his "Dictionary of Archaic Words," says that they were "a class of men who held a rank between a baron and a thayn. The ordinary interpretation would be soldiers."] PARISH OF KIRKBY MALGHDALE. 245 Within the present parish are the following manors:— Lords at the time of Kirkby's "Inquisition," gth Edward II.

Ehe. i The name of Kirkby proves the existence of a church at this place in the Saxon times ; ihough the silence of Domesday with respect to it may induce a suspicion that it had been destroyed by the ravages of the Danes. But perhaps it is to be added to the many omissions of that record on the subject, t The first distinct mention of this parish and church is in the confirmation of King John, a. r. i [1199-1200], to the abbey of West Dereham, founded by Hubert Walter, then Archbishop of Canterbury, but at the time of the foundation only Dean of York. The following quotation from that charter will prove the inaccuracy of a common opinion, that the church of Kirkby was given by Hubert himself J:— " Concessimus etiam et confirmavimus eisdem canonicis donationem quam Adam filius Adas eis fecit de ecclesia de Kirkby Malghedale, scilicet ecclesiam prasnominatam cum omnib. pert, et libert. &c. ad earn pertin'. Concessimus etiam quantum ad regalem pertinet dignitatem quod praefati canonici praefatam ecclesiam cum pertinentiis suis in usus convertant proprios, salva tamen decenti et honorifica administratione ejusdem ecclesias." A salvo little attended to in the subsequent endowment of this poor'vicarage. In the register of Abp. Walter Giffard at York is a kind of Inspeximus, dated 1275, and referring to an act of his predecessor, Abp. Geoffry, A.D. 1205, confirming in proprios usus the church of Kirkby Malghdale to the abbot and canons of Dereham, and ordaining a vicarage in the said church, with an assignation of ten marks per annum to the vicar.§ ' Hopkinson's MSS., vol. i. fol. 150.—I can trace this manor in the family of Fitzhugh no lower than the inquisition post mortem of Henry Lord Fitzhugh, 3rd Henry VI.—Dugd. " Bar." in Fitzhugh. t But in this attestation of charters among the Townley MSS. I find Ric. Cler. de Kirkby contemporary with Malger parson of Gisburne, or about 1150 ; and Henr. persona de Kirkby contemporary with Henry Percy the Second. I " Mon. Ang." vol. ii. p. 624. [§ A composition of five shillings a year, to be paid on Michaelmas Day, was agreed upon between John, Abbot of Fountains, and this church; which had been given to the abbey of Dereham, in the diocese of Norwich, in lieu of the tithes of all such lands in this parish as those monks were possessed of before the General Council in the time of Pope Innocent III. (who died in 1216) ; but for all such lands as they had or might acquire within the said parish after the said General Council, the monks should pay tithes for corn and legumes.—Burt. " Mon." 175, p. 182. "Walterus Dei Gratia, &c., Abbati et conventui de Derham, salutem, &c.

The rectory and the advowson of the vicarage continued in that house till the Dissolution; after which, in the 6th of Edward VI., it was granted to George Earl of Shrewsbury.* By what means, or at what time, it passed into the Cavendish family, I have never been able to learn. The present patron, however, is Lord George Cavendish, and the owners of the great tithes, some private purchasers, pay the vicar a pension of 3O/. per annum; and this, with the Easter offerings and Surplice Fees, constitutes the endowment. It is not known to what saint this church was dedicated. [The Rev. James Raine, in the Journal of the Yorkshire Arch&ological Association, vol. ii. p. 187, states the dedication to be St. Michael.] In the Register of Abp. Melton the reduced taxation of this church is twenty-three marks. [Over the door of the vicarage is this inscription— 1622 THOMAS KINGE E K B. RESTORED 1866.] VlCARII DE KlRKBY MALGHDALE. Temp. Inst.

  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

    About The Red Lion... A Warm Family Welcome Before the bridge was built, the buildings where the Red Lion now stands were situated on a ford across the River Wharfe. When the river was in spate, these buildings offered refuge & temporary lodgings to those who could not cross. In the 16th Century, the permanent buildings you see now began to arise and the Ferryman’s Inn orignally entitled ‘Bridge Tavern’ became the beautiful country Inn which is now the Red Lion. Bought by Elizabeth & Andrew Grayshon in 1991, The Red Lion & Manor House has now passed into the capable hands of their four daughters - Sarah, Victoria, Katy & Eleanor, who, with their husbands & families, continue to provide visitors with the same service that has kept the Red Lion as one of the most popular destinations in the Dales. • Breathtaking scenery • Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty • Grade II listed building Stay A While... The Manor House & Red Lion Holiday Cottages In addition to the rooms in the Red Lion, we have 11 B&B rooms in the Manor House - a charming Victorian property 150 yards away - and 4 holiday cottages. Perfect for overnight accommodation, the Manor House bedrooms are modern but simple most having lovely views of the River Wharfe and village.

  • The Need for Entry-Level Affordable Homes in Craven
    The need for entry-level affordable homes in Craven August 2020 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The concept of entry-level exception sites was introduced in the 2018 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Paragraph 71 of the current NPPF states that, subject to compliance with certain tests: “Local planning authorities should support the development of entry-level exception sites, suitable for first time buyers (or those looking to rent their first home), unless the need for such homes is already being met within the authority’s area…….” 1.2 As stated in the NPPF housing on these sites must be affordable for those whose needs are not met by the market. This report identifies whether or not the need for entry level affordable housing in Craven District is being met by the housing provisions of the Craven and Yorkshire Dales National Park Local Plans. This requires three stages of work to be undertaken. The first will draw upon the results of the Craven Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2017) (SHMA) to estimate the total need for entry-level affordable housing in Craven District up to 2032. 1.3 The second stage of work will draw upon housing supply data from this Council and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority to estimate the likely delivery of entry-level affordable housing up to 2032. (Housing data from both authorities is required so that the area of need matches that of the supply.) The SHMA identifies housing need across the whole of Craven District. The northern part of Craven District lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park where the Park Authority, as a separate local planning authority, maintains its own data on housing supply and has adopted its own local plan.
