More about this scene

The village green at Crakehall, two miles from Bedale on the Wensleydale Road, lies at the heart of the village, and is still the site of the village cricket ground. Cottages cluster around the green, with the gable end of the chapel in the centre background.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Relatives of my mum, she is 85 years young, originally ran the Malt Shovel Inn in Crakehall. My mum was born in 1925 so this must have been the 1920s to 1930s. I have old photos of the Malt Shovel then but can find no records of them.
I was married in this church on 23rd December 1950 to Eunice Ethel Smith who lived at High Mill Cottage.
