Town Head Farmhouse is a 17th century building, re-roofed in the mid or late 19th century and with an added bay to the left. The decorated band below the eaves probably dates from the re-roofing. Constructed of coursed gritstone, partly slobbered, under a slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1166994 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.
