Settle’s renowned Folly is the subject of our next talk at Ingleborough Community Centre, Ingleton, on Monday 17 March 2025 at 7.30pm. Non-members are welcome (£3 entry).
Heather Lane, honorary curator of the Museum of North Craven Life, will trace the history of the much-loved building from its construction in the 1670s to the present day.
The Folly was originally built as a gentleman’s residence, but over the years it has a variety of uses including a farmhouse, bakery, bank and fish & chip shop.
It is now the home of the museum and a popular cafe while ongoing research is uncovering new evidence about the house and its builder.
