Wath-in-Nidderdale

It is near Gouthwaite Reservoir and about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Pateley Bridge.[1] In the Middle Ages Wath was divided between the lands of Fountains Abbey, north of a small stream known as Dauber Gill, and the lands of the Archbishop of York on the south side.[2] The present building on the site of the grange dates from the early 18th century.[3] The small Wath Methodist Chapel in the upper part of the village, has an unusual 5-sided shape.[5] The ford over the River Nidd, which gave the place its name, was replaced by a bridge by the 16th century.
