Description
St. Leonards tiny 17th century church is in the small wooded hamlet of Chapel-le-Dale, near Ingleton, Yorkshire. It is a grade 2 listed building. Inside the church is a white marble plaque which reads:
TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO THROUGH ACCIDENTS LOST THEIR LIVES, IN CONSTRUCTING THE RAILWAY WORKS, BETWEEN SETTLE, AND DENT HEAD. THIS TABLET WAS ERECTED AT THE JOINT EXPENSE, OF THEIR FELLOW WORKMEN AND THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY 1869 TO 1876.
This is a reference to the men and their families who lived, worked, and died in appalling conditions during the building of the famous Settle to Carlisle railway.
