When Scottish raiders destroyed its houses after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, it was rebuilt half a mile to the south.〔 (Whitaker’s History of Craven: Parish of Giggleswick, Page 21 ) Skipton Castle Co UK.

In the 1870s, Langcliffe was described as: ... a village, a township, and a chapelry in Giggleswick parish, W. R. Yorkshire. The village stands near the river Ribble, ¾ of a mile N of Settle, and 2 NNE of Settle r. station; and has a post-office under Settle.—The township contains also the hamlet of Winskill, and comprises 2,550 acres. Real property, £3,319. Pop. in 1851,601; in 1861,376. Houses, 78. The decrease of pop. was caused by the stoppage of cotton mills and the dispersion of the workers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Langcliffe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
