Holy Trinity Church, Rathmell

Holy Trinity Church is the parish church of Rathmell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the mid-19th century, Rathmell fell within the parish of St Alkelda's Church, Giggleswick. In the early 19th century, ministers often preached in the school at Rathmell, and in 1842 a church was built in the village. It was the smallest church in the Diocese of Ripon, with seating for 121 worshippers. In 1883 a chancel and vestry were added, to a design by Francis Healey, followed in 1897 by a porch, then in 1912 the vestry was extended. The building was grade II listed in 1987. The church is built of stone with millstone grit dressings and a Westmorland slate roof. It consists of a nave, a south porch, a chancel and a south vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a blocked west entrance with a segmental pointed arch and a hood mould, string courses, a two-light window with Y-tracery, a clock face, bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet with finials. Most of the windows in the body of the church are lancets, and some have stained glass by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, installed in 1870. Inside, there is a piscina, two sedilia, and an oak reredos installed in 1908.

Cappleside Barn

Cappleside Barn, also known as Brocklands Barn, is a historic building near Rathmell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The Cappleside estate was owned by the Nowell family from 1624, and the barn was constructed in 1714, possibly by Henry Nowell. Although it has been speculated that some of the roof timber may be reused from an earlier structure, tree ring analysis conducted in 2017 and 2018 found multiple timbers felled in the 1710s and none with earlier dates. Historic England describes it as "clearly a building of high status", with a "remarkable ornamental roof structure" and a "cutting-edge design for its time". It incorporates housing for cattle, allowing more cows to be kept over winter, and the walls lean slightly out, to shed water more readily. In about 1800, lean-to extensions were added to the south and east, to provide more accommodation for cows, and a further one was added in the late 19th century to the southeast corner. Around this time, a hay house was added to the north of the barn, and it was heightened in the 20th century. The barn was grade II* listed in 2018, but in 2019 was added to the Heritage at Risk Register as the roof and walls needed repairs to keep the building watertight. The barn is built of sandstone on a plinth, with quoins, and a roof of sandstone flags with moulded gable coping and shaped kneelers. There are six bays, porches and lean-tos. The openings include doorways with quoined surrounds, cart entrances, one with segmental arch of voussoirs, windows, slit vents, and owl holes in the gables. On the barn is an initialled datestone. The roof trusses have elaborate collars, and carvings including a daisy wheel, which were probably intended to ward off evil spirits. This decorative style is specific to the Craven area in the early 18th century.
