Hartwith cum Winsley is a civil parish in Harrogate district, North Yorkshire, England. Historically it was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Malzeard in the West Riding of Yorkshire, a detached part of that parish. It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974. The main settlement in the parish is the village of Summerbridge. The parish also includes the hamlets of Low Laithe, New York, Brimham, Hartwith and the eastern part of Smelthouses. Winsley consists of some scattered houses and farms in the east of the parish. In 2015 the population of the parish was estimated at 1,020.The parish occupies the north side of lower Nidderdale. In the north of the parish are Brimham Rocks. In the Middle Ages, Hartwith cum Winsley (then known as Brimham) formed part of the lands of Fountains Abbey, which established granges at Wise Ing (near Smelthouses), Braisty Woods, Brimham Grange and Brimham Park. At Brimham Grange there was a chapel, where local recusants kept a Catholic priest in the late 16th century. In the 18th century Brimham Hall was built on the site of Brimham Grange and is now a Grade II listed building. Brimham Park was used by the abbots as a hunting lodge. It was replaced in 1661 by a substantial house now known as Brimham Lodge, which is a Grade I listed building.

Brimham Lodge
Brimham Lodge

Brimham Lodge is a historic farmhouse in Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse was built in 1661 for Thomas Braithwaite. Additional bays were added to the left and right in the 19th century, and some restoration work was done in the mid 20th century. In the 1940s, the farm was purchased by Tom Gratton, who walked his 16 cows almost 20 miles from Pool in Wharfedale. More recently, it has operated as a dairy farm, with 200 cows on 300 acres. The building was grade I listed in 1987. The house is built of gritstone, and has a blue slate roof with moulded kneelers, splayed coping and bulbous finials. There are two storeys and attics, five bays, and a rear staircase wing. The central doorway has a chamfered moulded surround of large blocks, and a lintel with an enriched ogee arch. Above it is a large initialled and dated block and a single-light window. Elsewhere on the front are recessed chamfered mullioned windows with up to six lights and continuous hood moulds over the lower two floors. In the rear wing is a three-light mullioned and transomed stair window. North of the farmhouse is a grade II-listed outbuilding of similar date. It is also built of gritstone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with shaped kneelers and gable coping. It has two storeys and two bays. In the centre is a stable door with a chamfered quoined surround, and a large lintel with a shallow four-centred arch. To the right is another doorway, and on the left stone steps lead up to a doorway with a quoined surround. The windows are recessed, chamfered and mullioned. South of the farmhouse is a 17th-century grade II-listed mounting block. It is built of gritstone, and consists of three steps surrounding a platform about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) wide and 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) high. In the centre of the platform is a sundial, consisting of a shaft chamfered to a square 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high, with the gnomon missing. The front garden wall is late 17th century and is also grade II-listed. It is built of gritstone with ridged coping, and is between 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) and 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high. At the north end of the west wall is a gateway with chamfered quoined jambs, and a lintel with a shallow four-centred arch and hollow moulding. In the centre of the south wall is a gateway with stone piers about 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) high with ball finials.

Birstwith is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is part of the Nidderdale, and is situated on the River Nidd. According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 756 and increased to 868 based on the 2011 Census.Birstwith Mill on Wreaks Road is run by Kerry Ingredients, a food products manufacturer. The River Nidd provided water for the mill, and although sluice gates and a mill race exist, the water wheel no longer turns—an existing weir provides the mill with a head of water. The mill race rejoins the river downstream. About 1 mile (1.6 km) upstream is a packhorse bridge. The local public house is the Station Hotel which acts as a meeting place, and venue for organised charity events such as the Birstwith Coast 2 Coast Cycle Challenge. The village has a store and post office, and a doctor's surgery which is part of a Nidderdale medical group. Sport facilities include a cricket pitch, tennis courts, and a snooker room. The village had a railway station on the NER line running between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge. The goods yard became Birstwith Grange, a housing development for commuters. The railway line continued along the Nidd Valley and was used in the construction of Scar House and Angram reservoirs. A village primary school and a Reading Room, built and donated by the owner of the local Swarcliffe Hall around 1880, still exist today. In the mid-1970s Swarcliffe Hall was sold and the contents auctioned, the building became a private prep school. Today Birstwith has a Church of England primary school, and a private school which occupy Swarcliffe Hall. In 2017 Birstwith In Bloom was established. Birstwith won a Silver-gilt at the Yorkshire in Bloom awards, this was the first time the village had entered the competition.
