More about this scene

Solid Georgian houses group around the crossroads in the middle of Fremington, just outside Reeth in Swaledale. The three-arched buttressed bridge at Fremington has spanned the rushing waters of the Swale for centuries, and it still carries the main B6270 valley road today.

Draycott Hall was the home of the Denys family.  Sir George Deny wrote in his 1836 journal in Spain. “To my Uncle, whose Heir I am…Dear Uncle, I’ve waited to hear, of your death so, alas! very long, That, despairing, I yield to the fear, that you must be undieably strong. Besides your unlimited wealth - How can you all decency brave? You’re enjoying the best of good health, When you ought to go into your grave!…” Denys family had a great deal to do with the mining in the Swaledale.
