Low Whita (Bells) Farm (East), Grinton, North Yorkshire Council (UA) - Yorkshire Dales (NP)
Remarkable survival of multiple pre-1700 dwellings formed by the subdivision of an earlier farmstead. Alterations made to the buildings, particularly through the C18 and C19, illustrate changing vernacular construction and architecture over time. Evidence of a mid-C19 butter factory, a rare survival of a vernacular, small-scale commercial dairy. The buildings have been disused for some years and are in poor condition, although a scheme for reoccupation has been approved and details to meet planning conditions have been submitted. The building has recently changed ownership.
