Settle Victoria Hall

Settle Victoria Hall is a Grade II listed concert hall in Kirkgate, Settle, North Yorkshire, England. It is the UK's oldest surviving music hall. Built in about 1852, and designed by Sharpe and Paley, it opened as Settle Music Hall on 11 October 1853. It was the brainchild of local philanthropist Rev. James Robinson, an active member of Settle Choral Society, who proposed that "the building should be such as to answer all the purposes of public instruction and entertainment". Early shows at Settle Music Hall included recitals of classical music, educational lectures and classes, and popular entertainments. It was renamed "The Victoria Hall" around November 1892. From 1919 until 1939, Victoria Hall also operated as a cinema, initially as "The Picturedrome" and later as the "Kirkgate Kinema". In 1921, the building was bequeathed by the Robinson family to Craven District Council. Settle Victoria Hall was restored in 2000, under the management of the newly formed Settle Victoria Hall Ltd, a charity, which was established in 1999 and presents a wide programme of drama, comedy, film, and music as well as community events, workshops, and indoor markets. The building is owned by Craven District Council.

Zion Chapel, Settle

Zion Chapel is a closed church in Settle, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The Itinerary Society began preaching in Settle in 1813, drawing crowds of up to 1,000. They partly funded the construction of a chapel in Upper Settle, which was completed in 1816. Standing high on a hillside, it was named for the Biblical Mount Zion. The church was part of the Congregationalist movement, but remained independent. In 1852, its minister, William Jackson, was asked to resign due to neglect of his duties, and unusually the former Anglican vicar of the Church of St Alkelda, Giggleswick was asked to lead worship until a new incumbent was appointed. In the 1870s, the interior was refitted, and a schoolroom was added at the rear. The building was grade II listed in 1988. The chapel closed in 2015, and after permission for conversion to residential use was refused, the trustees donated it to the North Craven Building Preservation Trust. The former chapel is rendered, with stone dressings, chamfered quoins, modillion eaves, and a hipped slate roof. There are two storeys and three bays, and a single-storey vestry on the right. The central doorway has a round-arched head, a chamfered surround and a keystone, and the windows all have plain surrounds and round-arched heads.
