Burton Leonard church, from the NE A Victorian church that doesn't get more than 5 lines of description in the updated Pevsner guide. St Leonard's dates from 1877. This apparently replaced a medieval church, of which nothing remains.

New bridge over the beck I photographed this beck crossing in 2009, but the bridge is not the same one. The gabion and handrail on this side have both gone, and the current bridge is longer with more rails and stanchions. The bridge doesn't appear to line up exactly with the path as shown on the OS map.

A stream revisited I took a photo here in the autumn of 2009 and commented about springs, but after checking out the first edition 6" map of the area, it looks as though I was mistaken. There are a lot of 'humps and bumps' in this area, as well as odd bits of masonry [as in the foreground of this photo], and it appears that this is the site of a former water mill - 'Burton Mill' which is described as a corn mill. The mill has long gone, and the mill race has been reduced to little more than a meandering ditch, but this must be part of it.

Mill Lane A grassy track which is now a public footpath leading down to the former site of Burton Mill, of which nothing remains apart from a few earthworks. The name would suggest that this was the site of the corn mill for Burton Leonard village which is a mile or more to the west, and which stands on higher ground away from suitable becks. A mill in this area would also be within the parish, whereas one to the south of the village would be on a boundary with Brearton parish.

Path into the wood [maybe] A waymark post at the edge of Kettlewell Carr suggests that one is on the right path, but there is no stile or gate and one must step over a semi derelict wire fence. Fortunately it would be difficult to get lost within the woodland.
