Markenfield Hall Gatehouse

Markenfield Hall is situated deep in the Yorkshire countryside surrounded by its own farmland, three miles south of Ripon. It is a completely moated and fortified Manor House built in 1310.

Chapel on How Hill

This strange little building has fascinated me for years. It seems vaguely eerie, especially on a dark moonlit night. I know nothing about its history, maybe its connected to nearby Fountains Abbey - it looks suitable for occupation by a hermit. It is on private land so it is not open to visitors. See SE2766

How Hill

In relation to its modest altitude this little hill can be seen for miles in all directions. Its distinctive wooded top seems to draw the eye

Causeway over Fish Pond

A footpath on a causeway splits this body of water in two - though not in equal halves. Pond seems a bit of an under exaggeration, it is more like a small lake

Fish Pond

This is man made. But was it constructed by the brethren of Fountains Abbey to provide their refectory with fish, or does it serve a more ornamental service to nearby Sawley Hall?
