Robinson's Gateways and Archway House are 2 archways, one blocked to form a house. Constructed in the early or mid 18th century of ashlar and squared, coursed rubble stone under a stone slate roof. Built prior to 1755, originally with doors in the arches and a postern between them, giving access to the Wool Room and the stables in Lodge Yard. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1131180 Askrigg is a small, linear village in Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, some 10 miles west of Leyburn, and 5 miles east of Hawes. Settled since the Iron Age, the name Askrigg is Old Norse - askr (ash tree) and hryggr (ridge), - the ridge where ash trees grew. The village was granted a weekly Market Charter by Elizabeth I in 1587. More recently, the village served as the fictional town of Darrowby in the 1978-1990 BBC TV series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
