Memorial Seat - Greenhow

This memorial seat is outside Coldstonesfold Farm near Greehow village in Nidderdale

 

Happy Bench Monday (HBM)

 

The beautiful quote on the front of the seat reads :-

 

"If there comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there for ever" A.A.Milne

 

Greenhow was an old mining village that was a major supplier of lead.

 

Joseph Kipling, the grandfather of Rudyard Kipling was the minister at the Methodist Chapel at Greenhow and Rudyard himself is known to have visited the village.

 

The church in the village (St Mary's) is reputedly the highest parish church in England still in use, though services are now only fortnightly on Sunday evenings plus major feast times
