  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes

    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.

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.

  • Historical and Archaeological Projects Fund

    Historical and Archaeological Projects Fund

    North Craven Heritage Trust – Historical and Archaeological Projects Fund Grant Application Criteria 1. The fund is known as ‘The Historical and Archaeological Projects Fund, in memory of Philip Hudson’. It was initially formed from the proceeds of winding up the North Craven Historical Research Group (NCHRG). For many years the NCHRG, led by Philip, supported independent research projects. The purpose of the fund is to provide modest grants to support the expenses of individual researchers, thereby continuing a role of the NCHRG. 2. The application of the fund will be restricted to grants towards projects of historical and / or archaeological research in North Craven, comprising the civil parishes covered by the North Craven Heritage Trust, namely Airton, Arncliffe, Austwick, Bentham, Burton-in-Lonsdale, Clapham cum Newby, Giggleswick, Halton Gill, Halton West, Hanlith, Hawkswick, Hellifield, Horton- in-Ribblesdale, Ingleton, Kirkby Malham, Langcliffe, Lawkland, Litton, Long Preston, Malham, Malham Moor, Nappa, Otterburn, Rathmell, Scosthrop, Settle, Stainforth, Swinden, Thornton-in-Lonsdale and Wigglesworth. The applicant need not be a resident of North Craven. 3. Grants may be awarded to individual researchers and informal groupings of researchers working collaboratively. Established societies or groups will not be eligible. Grants will be made where it is difficult to obtain other funding. 4. Applications in the first instance should be by email or in writing to the Treasurer of the NCHT (see “About Us / Contact” for the address of the current Treasurer). The application should outline the proposal that requires grant aid with costings. 7. Grants will normally be made four times a year, in February, May, August and November.

It is normally reached by following an unclassified road running 6 miles (10 kilometres) north from the A65 at Gargrave. The National Park visitor centre at the south end of the village provides tourist information, public toilets and a ‘pay and display’ car park. The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way north for 1½ miles (2¼ kilometres) to Malham Cove. From the visitor centre, head through the village, ignoring a right turn leading towards a road bridge. It is possible to follow a tree-shaded path beside Malham Beck for a short way, before rejoining the road. Ignoring a clapper bridge (Moon Bridge) on the right, the village is soon left behind as the road heads up a Walk 35: Malham Cove and Tarn and Goredale scar page 1 walled lane.

    Brochure for the Proposed Upper Aire Benefice of Gargrave, Coniston Cold and Kirkby in Malhamdale

    BROCHURE FOR THE PROPOSED UPPER AIRE BENEFICE OF GARGRAVE, CONISTON COLD AND KIRKBY IN MALHAMDALE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE THE BENEFICE OF GARGRAVE, CONISTON COLD AND KIRKBY IN MALHAMDALE The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The dio- cese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, di- versity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Hudders- field, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Rich- mond & Craven). Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all of our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth, both numerically and spiritually. 2 THE BENEFICE The proposed Upper Aire Benefice comprises three parishes in the Ripon Episcopal Area, part of the Bowland and Ewecross Deanery.

    Habitat Advisory Visit to the River Aire on Behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association Undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd June 2005

    Habitat Advisory visit to the River Aire on behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd June 2005 Sponsored by: 1.0 Introduction This report forms the output of a site visit to the River Aire, near Kirkby Malham, Yorkshire on 18 June 2005 on behalf of Bowland Game Fishing Association. Information in the report is based on observations on the day of the visit and additional comments provided by club members. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed, with right bank (RB) and left bank (LB) of the river identified when looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Description The upper limit of the fishery was at Aire Head, upstream of the village of Hanlith, Yorkshire, with two small tributary streams, the Malham Beck, and Translands Beck combining to form the River Aire at this point. The club was concerned that the habitat in the Malham Beck had declined recently, with a dense algal growth present on the bed of the stream, perhaps indicating nutrient enrichment. The beck was not visited on the day of the site visit. The catchment was of a primarily karstic limestone geology, with extensive sheep farming the dominant land use. Contours were steep, with significant surface run-off during rainfall events supplementing the base groundwater flow. Increases in the density of sheep over time may have increased erosion of the land, with associated mobilisation of solids across the catchment, whilst the use of modern synthetic pyrethroid (SP) sheep dips have the potential to inflict serious damage on the population of macroinvertebrates present in the river.
