More about this scene

On the east side of the 5-acre village green, now used for cricket matches, is the Hall, built in 1732. It was the country seat of the Duke of Leeds, who lived at Kiveton Park in south Yorkshire. Down by the beck is the 17th-century corn mill, once owned by the Neville family of Middleham Castle. The mill closed in 1930 and lay derelict until 1977. It was restored in 1980, and is open through the summer months.

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.
