The Congregational Church, Market Place, was built in 1866. Constructed of squared, coursed stone under a Welsh slate roof. Listed, for group value, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1318274 Reeth is a village, some 8½ miles west of Richmond, set on a plateau above the River Swale, surrounded by hills and moors. At the junction of roads up Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, Reeth was an important service centre for the lead mines and smelt mills based in these two valleys in the 18th and 19th centuries. Now a centre for walkers and other visitors to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
