Late 17C cottages, Dent, Yorkshire Dales (Explored)
Here's a shot from the archives, taken in the spring of 2019 when we visited the Yorkshire Dales.
Although the village of Dent is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park it is in Cumbria rather than North Yorkshire. Originally it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, but was transferred to Cumbria when the boundaries changed in 1974. The village is the only one in Dentdale, which is reckoned to be the finest dale in Cumbria.
The late 17th century cottages in the picture look on to the churchyard and the wonderful 12th century Church of St Andrew. The whitewashed building in front of us has a date stone of 1690, while the cottage on the right, West View, is one of a pair dating from a similar time. Cobble Cottage to its right, is out of shot. They are Grade II-listed.
