Peace broods at her heart". I did not know that he lived there, nor, indeed, that Arthur Raistrick did either - this makes it a place of pilgrimage too.<br /><br />Oh, and 'The Striding Dales'should be on each Dales lovers bookshelf.martinatgreenleedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231116919024703156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637858080003886362.post-29424777838285997612014-08-10T10:21:37.862-07:002014-08-10T10:21:37.862-07:00another thing ..... if they all - each of the hund...another thing ..... if they all - each of the hundreds - stopped to have a look ......................... it would do your head in!Stephen Oldfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530850075205687496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637858080003886362.post-27881033154890435742014-08-10T10:19:54.044-07:002014-08-10T10:19:54.044-07:00Interesting - and thanks.

But history is one of my great interests: I suppose it's because people don't have time. I would much rather, however, see walkers taking in these small villages than doing the marathon walks in their 'best' times. Each to their own. I can always improve my blog - I just try to get the right balance and adding all that information - much as it is fascinating - might have over-faced a few people. But I agree entirely on the goretex !!!!! Good to hear from you and would like to know who you are :) Stephen Stephen Oldfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530850075205687496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637858080003886362.post-87664060622403078812014-08-05T12:10:02.769-07:002014-08-05T12:10:02.769-07:00Just one of hundreds of walks round here. It's...Just one of hundreds of walks round here. It's good to have the geology described.<br /> It could have been improved by adding local history correctly, eg the bridge at Linton was built by Dame Elizabeth Redmayne. The local farmers refused to contribute so she added the parapets so a laden pony couldn't use it! The clapper bridge is downstream before the road bridge. <br />The famous author and historian, Arthur Raistrick lived in a cottage close to the bridge and Halliwell Sutcliffe, Dales author lived at White Abbey across the main road. Richard Fountaine who left money to build the hospital was a London timber merchant in the 17th century and he made his fortune supplying wood for the rebuilding after the Great Fire of London and also from all the coffins needed after several epidemics of plague. Matthew Hewitt, who was a rector of Linton Church and endowed Threshfield Grammar School lived in a house near the bridge, which is a former Youth Hostel and still called the Rectory.<br /> I could go on and on and it shows how knowing about the history of these Dales villages can enhance these walks. Too often we see walkers (all Goretex and with maps round their necks) marching through these villages and missing all the fun!A Dales lover and historiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637858080003886362.post-25865504512736038122014-07-08T11:51:56.960-07:002014-07-08T11:51:56.960-07:00A lovely walk.
