Malham
MALHAM, a township in that part of the parish of KIRKBY in MALHAM-DALE
which is in the western division of the wapentake of STAINCLIFFE and
EWCROSS, West Riding of the county of YORK, 5 miles (E. by S.) from
Settle, containing 262 inhabitants. There is a place of worship for
Wesleyan Methodists. Rowland Brayshaw, in 1717, conveyed land, &c.,
for the support of a free school, the income arising from which is £49
per annum. The river Aire has its source here, in a fine lake stored
with trout and perch : the vicinity abounds with scenery of a romantic
character. Malham Cove is a remarkable natural amphitheatre of limestone
rock, rising to the height of two hundred and eighty-six feet; at its
base issues a small subterranean brook, the passage for which, when
flooded, not being capacious enough to discharge its swollen stream,
the waters rise to the summit of the rock, and tumble down in a fine
cataract.
