Brief History
The village prospered from the year
1300 when Bolton Priory acquired its manor with its extensive
sheep ranges and valuable
lead mines. Charters for markets and a fair were granted and the latter remained important until the impact of the
railways in the mid 19th century.
Stone houses line the steep, main street between High Hall at the top and Low Hall at the bottom. The tudor style High Hall was restored by
Sir William Craven (known as Appletreewick's own "
Dick Whittington") who became Sheriff and Lord Mayor of
London at the beginning of the 17th century. Craven was born in a cottage almost opposite High Hall, one of a pair converted into St. Johns church. Lower down is Monks Hall, largely rebuilt in 1697 on the site of Bolton Priory's grange.
