A little theatre.
A very Yorkshire landscape.
Long shadows give the fields their pattern. At the centre, the chapel’s rounded dome interrupts the familiar lines of walls and trees. The pleasure is in that meeting of the expected and the gloriously unexpected.

In my words.
There is a particular joy in finding a building that seems to have brought its own sense of theatre to a landscape. Here, among the Yorkshire fields and drystone walls, a copper dome rises from the trees. I find the juxtaposition irresistible.
The fields around Settle and Giggleswick hold the traces of earlier ways of working the land. Medieval field systems survive in this landscape, overlaid by later walls and enclosures. These are patterns made by generations, one age leaving its lines for another.
Then comes the flash of a copper dome. Its baroque exuberance adds another layer to that long story, an unexpected flourish above a landscape already rich in memory. I love the way the two belong together: the patient geometry of the fields and the sheer delight of that rounded form.
Sometimes a place feels most itself when it makes room for something unexpected.
A flourish among the fields.
Designed by T G Jackson and built between 1897 and 1901, the Grade II* listed school chapel combines Gothic features with a copper-covered dome. Its richly worked interior includes Italian sgraffito decoration, marble and mosaic. The drama has substance as well as silhouette.
Nearby Settle has a different, equally compelling character. In my Digest I follow its streets through family memories, the bookshop, the Folly and a shoemaker’s world of practical craft. Together they remind me how much personality can be held within one small corner of Yorkshire.
