North Craven Historical Research

The main aim of this group was to produce a digital archive on computer of any historical information concerning the general area of North Craven.

The focus of information gathering was on the ancient Parish of Giggleswick, which includes Settle, Langcliffe, Stainforth and Rathmell as well as GiggleswickTownship, but the project collected information for Parishes as far as the Lancashire Border on the west, round through Ribblehead, Malham, Hellifield, Gisburn etc.

The group’s archive has been passed to the Dales Community Archive group and has been catalogued on their website.  There is a page about the history of the group and a catalogue listing.
