Title
Holme Chapel and Gates - HLS05903
Description
Slide 2 - Leaving this charming old homestead, we are soon brought to the quiet village of Holme. This peaceful and unpretentious old-world hamlet occupies a secluded position almost in the centre of Cliviger, and in the latter part of the twelfth century was a feudal possession of the Abbey of Kirkstall.In close proximity to the Holme is the little village church commonly known as Holme Chapel. This picturesque little sanctuary has a remarkable history, having been founded after the dissolution of Whalley Abbey.In the third year of Elizabeth (1560) Hugh Whatmore sold a portion of the Chantry lands to Thomas Whitaker of Holme, and from that time the property seems to have come into the possession of the Whitaker family. The present building was consecrated in 1794. Within the church Dr Whitaker the historian is interred. Close to the gateway to churchyard are the old-time stocks of the village.
