WENSLEY

Once the main settlement in Wensleydale, this sleepy village of greying stone, lying a short distance from Hawes, was the first place in the area to be granted a charter in 1202.




It appears to have flourished until it was hit by the plague 350 years later.

The delightful Church of Holy Trinity dates back, in part, to the 13th century and contains a memorial to the wealthy Scrope family who built nearby Bolton Hall in 1678.
