The barn adjoins Gibs Hall Cottage at the far end. The houses on the other side of the road use the more modern spelling of the place name ‘Gibbs’, which is also used by the Ordnance Survey. There is an Ordnance Survey cut benchmark low down on the barn wall near the corner, facing the road (photograph SD7386 : Benchmark, Gibbs Hall Barn).

Church of St John the Evangelist, Cowgill, Dentdale

Built in 1838. According to Link

the church "became the reason for Adam Sedgwick’s famous Memorial of Dent, when an upstart curate, the Rev. Sumner tried to change the name of the village. Sedgwick used his influence at Court to get Queen Victoria to lean on Gladstone to pass an Act of Parliament to resolve the issue." Adam Sedgewick, born in Dent, was one of the founders of modern geology.
