Arkendale
Arkendale is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.The first part of the toponym originates from Old English eorcnan, meaning probably "precious, noble, true", as in the name Archibald.St Bartholomew's Church, Arkendale was built in 1836-7 (making it Victorian, but only just) and consecrated in 1837.[6] It is in the 'lancet style' of the Gothic revival, in white brick with limestone ashlar, in contrast to the traditional brown local brick of the village.The vestry on the north side was added in 1888, at which time the church was refitted 'by the munificence of Samuel James Brown' of Loftuss Hill, an act commemorated by the stained glass window at the east end.
