Clapham
Clapham located on western side of the Dales, Clapham is a small village just to the south of Ingleborough. The history of Clapham has been largely dominated by the fortunes of the Farrer family. It was Oliver Farrer who bought the shooting rights and created an estate stretching to the head of Ribblesdale. They also redesigned the whole of the north end of the village and dammed Clapham Beck to created a lake. Lying behind houses on the western side of the village is the Dales Publishing Company since 1939. They have published the ‘Dalesman,’ a monthly magazine of Dales life and industry since 1948.
