Rathmell Fold, Chapel Street, was originally one house now two. Built in the 17th century, altered in the 18th century and restored in the 20th century. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a stone slate roof. One of several 17th century farmhouses in the town divided into two or more cottages in the later 18th century to satisfy the demand for accommodation for workers in the lead mines on Grassington Moor. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1132145 Grassington is a small market town, receiving its charter in 1282. The town is located in Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, some 7½ miles north of Skipton. Lead mining brought prosperity to the town in the 18th and 19th centuries. The town now attracts many tourists, especially walkers, with some excellent routes on the surrounding fells.
