    BRITISH MINING No.63 BRITISH MINING No.63 MEMOIRS 1999 Gill, M.C. 1999 “Cononley: The Anatomy of a Mining Village” British Mining No.63, NMRS, pp.34-47 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1999. ISSN 0309-2199 CONONLEY: THE ANATOMY OF A MINING VILLAGE by Michael Gill The village of Cononley is in the area known as South Craven, about three miles south of Skipton and twenty miles west of Leeds, in Yorkshire. It stands in the mouth of Nethergill, a small tributary valley on the south side of the river Aire, and is dominated by a hill called the Gib. Since the early 1850s, the Gib has been topped by a chimney from a lead smelting mill. The village is linked to the Keighley-Kendal Turnpike, now the A629, and the Leeds-Liverpool canal by the same short road. Except for the 1970s, Cononley has had a railway station since 1847. It is a picturesque, if somewhat shaded, village with its houses built of the local sandstone with flagstone roofs. It once had four pubs, but now has two, of which the New Inn is the oldest. The old part of the village, running between the Main Street and Back Lane, is based on tofts and crofts which have been infilled with tightly packed houses. This has led to a complex pattern of narrow, crooked streets with a highly irregular roof-line and gives the village a distinct character. Until recently, the people of Cononley, like those of its neighbouring villages, have worked at farming and textiles.

This extract from Devonshire MSS, Chatsworth, Bolton MS 73A, f. 341, is published by permission of the Duke of Devonshire and the Chatsworth House Trust’. Introduction William Meschines and his wife Cecilia de Romeli, lady of Skipton, founded this Augustinian monastery in 1120 at Embsay near Skipton. In 1151, the Austin canons relocated the priory to more productive lands on the banks of the River Wharfe just north of the village of Bolton Abbey (which is about five miles east of Skipton, 24 miles northwest of Leeds).1 Given how the Priory prospered in the early years of the fourteenth century as a result of strong harvests of wheat, oats, and barley and a herd of about 400 cattle,2 it is surprising that we have no other evidence of performance activity there except for this record of a boy bishop from York. In the wake of the Dissolution of the monasteries, Henry Clifford of Skipton Castle, first earl of Cumberland, purchased most of the Bolton Priory property, thereby acquiring this Bolton Abbey manuscripts, which are now at Chatsworth House. 1"Houses of Austin canons: Priory of Bolton," in A History of the County of York: Volume 3, ed.
