Old cottage in Grinton
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 24 Apr 2007
This cottage has a date of 1666 over the door and mullioned windows. The roof line is much steeper than is typical of dales houses and would indicate that this building once had a thatched [probably ling thatch] roof. Currently [Jan 2009] in a very sad state due to planning problems. The front is encased in scaffolding and there are concerns about the stability of the building.
