More about this scene
From the 13th century, the village was part of the huge 3000-acre manor estate of the de Bellerbys. Rievaulx Abbey also farmed some 43 acres of land near the village. The tree is still here, and so is the Old Hall (left), dating from the 17th century. The church of St John (1874) can be glimpsed through the tree.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My husband's family were conned into selling their grandfather's cottage, he was the local molecatcher, John Henry Scott.(I wonder if he was born on the wrong side of the blanket! - as the name of the local gentry was also Scott.) The solicitor was also a Scott, Malcolm from Leyburn. They were told the cottage was uninhabitable and would need to be demolished, a man called Gregg offered 50 and they said yes. When they went back 2 years later, it was a holiday cottage!
