| North Craven Heritage Trust |
The area of interest to the North Craven Heritage Trust was originally defined by the area of the old Settle Rural District Council. In Settle Town Hall there is a very large fine map of the area, on a fabric roll. The Settle RDC was disbanded in 1974.
Over the years we have had a list of places on the back cover of the Journal and on the annual Programme card. The list is not a complete list of parishes, civil or ecclesiastical, but rather a list of local relevant place names. One of the jobs undertaken by the NCHT is that of checking planning applications and this is made much easier by knowing the modern civil parishes of interest to us. We have therefore decided to rationalize our list to that of the 30 civil parishes in North Craven. Newcomers to the Trust will be able to determine just where our boundary lies by consulting the Trust website. The accompanying map shows the civil parishes and also the many fewer ancient ecclesiastical parishes for interest.
