HARROGATE PARISH #42 OF 139: COPT HEWICK
Copt Hewick - “High Farm Peak”
This week in Harrogate we’re in the second of the Hewick twins. The first was quite a small cluster of houses and farms, based around a bridge over the River Ure, but this one couldn’t be any more different. Copt Hewick lies at the summit of a shallow hill - a fact that’s reflected in its name - and it’s a typical Yorkshire farming village composed of two principal streets that back on to one another.
Although mostly residential, this one has three buildings which give it a unique character. I’m talking about the church, the village hall and the clock tower. All three were built in the late 1800s, and they’re as important to Copt Hewick today as they were at the turn of the 19th century. Without a doubt they are the most iconic structures in the village, but further East is Copt Hewick Hall, which accounts for most of the other listed buildings. Its much older, dating back to 1775, and recently hit the news thanks to some renovations that should never have happened.
Elsewhere, Copt Hewick has a restored village pump, a former public house, and an old chapel but honestly, this one was hard to research. There was virtually no historical information about it anywhere. That said, it’s a lovely place, and I enjoyed this walk around it nonetheless.
Lets get moving and see what the larger Hewick twin has for us!
