Some photos from around Ravenstonedale  … showing some of the places where various Adamthwaites have lived in the long distant past and the churches and chapels where they were baptised, married and buried

<< these three photos were sent in by Michelle and were taken some years ago. The spinning gallery is one of only a few remaining in the area - as well as being used to spin, the wool was hung up here to dry.  Thank you Michelle!
