Burnsall Village Information:
Situated on the banks of the River Wharfe, Burnsall is a delightful Dales village in Wharfedale with a rich history.

Although it is home to barely 100 people, it has two hotels and a large public house. Because of its picture postcard beauty it attracts many couples who want the perfect setting for their wedding. It is also popular among walkers, cyclists and anglers.

One of the most interesting buildings in the village is old grammar school. Built in 1601, it was funded by William Craven, a native of nearby Appletreewick who would go onto become the Lord Mayor of London. The building is Grade 1 listed and is still used as a primary school.

According to the first census of 1801, the villagers were chiefly employed in the agriculture and manufacturing. While few mills remain, farming is still vital to the economy.

Overlooking the village is Burnsall Fell which claims to be the home of the oldest fell race in England. It is held every August.

Also close by is Trollers Gill, a limestone gorge that locals once believed to be occupied by a tribe for vicious trolls who would push boulders onto the heads of anyone who dared to walk through the ravine.

More chilling that that is the local folktale of a wolf-like beast living in the cave at the end of the ravine. Legend has it that any walker who met the animals staring eyes would meet their certain death. Some people believe that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired by this tale prior to him writing The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Burnsall is on both the Dales Way, an 85 mile hiking route connecting Ilkley and Bowness-on-Windermere, and the Way of the Roses, a cycling course which opened in 2010 and goes coast to coast from Morecambe in Lancashire to Bridlington in East Yorkshire.

Burnsall Village Hall is a community hall in the picturesque village of Burnsall, nestled in Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales. The beginnings of the hall you see now started with fundraising which began in 1904 for the hall and reading room. Plans were drawn up and work began in 1909. The total cost of building the hall was £557. Situated on a field, which was given by the church, known as Burnsall Glebe, the hall was opened to the public in 1909, but the reading room (now the Meeting Room) took a little longer and with more fundraising was finally opened to the public in 1914.

Burnsall St Wilfrids church is thought to have been a church here for around 1300 years. Traditionally founded by St Wilfrid in c.700AD, the church and surrounding area was important during the pre-Conquest period, evidenced by the wonderful collection of Anglo-Scandinavian sculpture housed in the church. Dating from the 9th and 10th centuries, the stones showcase the intermingling of Anglo-Saxon and Norse Viking cultures in Wharfedale at this time. There are good examples of hogback stones here; 9th-11th century grave covers styled as ‘houses of the dead’, which were unique to the North of England, Scotland and Ireland.
