Old mine shaft in a field
There are several such bowl shaped shafts close to the parish church at Middleton Tyas. They are remnants of a short lived copper mining boom that lasted barely 40 years in the mid 18th century. Further west in Swaledale one expects to see remains of the lead mining industry, but east of Marrick towards Hudswell and Richmond lead dies out to be replaced by copper which appears along faults in the underlying carboniferous rocks. These rocks extend as far east as Middleton Tyas, and although the copper ore found here was of high quality, there wasn't much of it, thus the short period of extraction. Beyond the shaft in the picture there appears to be a grassed over spoil heap.

Village sign, Middleton Tyas
The first part of the name is Anglo-Saxon and means middle farm. Tyas is a Norman French name but there is no written evidence that the place once belonged to a family of that name.

Old mine workings at Middleton Tyas
The bowl shaped mound in the foreground marks the site of an old shaft into a copper mine dating back to the mid 18th century when a rich vein of copper ore was discovered here. The ore was high quality but soon worked out, so the mines lasted no more than about 40 years.

Lych gate, Church of St Michaels and All Angels
Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial. The original lych gates had seats, a lych cross and a lych stone - a slab on which the coffin rested.
