More about this scene
The parish church of St Mark is in the main part of the village, near the Methodist Chapel, the primary school and the village shop. Before the factory came, there was nothing here but farmland, moorland and Fenton Cawthorne's tower. Now, the factory warehouse has been converted into flats, the great Wyresdale wheel dismantled and Wyresdale Tower pulled down, and its stones carted away. Fenton's proud boast carved in the stone that 'This Tower shall live in song and Wyresdale is its name' is now used as a doorstep in Abbeystead.
