Darnbrook Farmhouse and Cottage
This house has a long history going back at least 600 years, though most of the present house dates only from the 17th century. The date 1664 is on a stone inside the house with the initials i b m b, those of John Buck and his wife who restored the house. The Buck family occupied the house at the date of the suppression of Fountains Abbey and probably first leased the property for a generation or two from the grantee of the Abbey lands, then later bought it as a family home. There are some interesting architectural features. Grade II listed building. Dated 1664.
