Settle Rural District

Settle Rural District was an administrative district in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The rural district was named after the town of Settle and included the civil parishes of Bentham, Clapham cum Newby, Malham, Settle, Stainforth, Austwick, Giggleswick, Ingleton and Horton. The rural district was disbanded in local government reorganisation in 1974 and transferred to the Craven district of North Yorkshire.

Settle Bridge

Settle Bridge is a historic road bridge connecting Settle with Giggleswick in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge was probably built in the late 17th century, on the route connecting Keighley with Kendal. When the road was turnpiked, a toll bar was added at the bridge. In 1837, the bridge was widened on the south side by 4 feet (1.2 m), making it 14 feet (4.3 m) wide. Its parapet walls were added in the 19th century. The bridge was grade II* listed in 1987, and was formerly a scheduled ancient monument. It carries the B6480 road over the River Ribble, and the Ribble Way long-distance footpath passes its north end. The bridge is built of stone and consists of two elliptical arches. It has four ribs on the upstream side of each arch, chamfered at the base, and a cutwater, also on the upstream side.

Giggleswick

Giggleswick, a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, lies on the B6480 road, less than 1 mile (1.6 km) north-west of the town of Settle and divided from it by the River Ribble. It is the site of Giggleswick School. Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Giggleswick Market Cross

Giggleswick Market Cross is a historic structure in Giggleswick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The cross was constructed in about 1400, at which time, Giggleswick held a market charter. In 1708, the neighbouring town of Settle was also granted a market charter, and the market at Giggleswick faded away, although the cross survived. One tradition claims that the cross at Giggleswick was originally located in Settle, but was relocated to Giggleswick, to promote its primacy in the late Mediaeval period. Another tradition claims that the cross was damaged by a resident of Settle in response to a local dispute. The cross was grade II listed in 1958, and has been a scheduled monument since 1995. The market cross was moved to its present site in 1840. It is built of millstone grit, and is about 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) high. It has a square base of three steps, the lowest of which is about 2 metres square. It has a chamfered shaft, 30cm wide and 22cm deep, and a head in the form of trefoiled Greek cross with a pierced centre.
