Burnsall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burnsall is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the River Wharfe in Wharfedale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The 2001 census gave it a population of 112.
St Wilfrid's Church is almost entirely Perpendicular. Amongst its well-known features are the 11th century font carved with bird and beasts, twelve Anglo-Saxon sculpture fragments and a 14th century alabaster panel depicting the Adoration of the Magi.
Diversions available include fishing for trout, and the annual feast day games in August which include amateur canoeing competitions, tug of war and fell races. The cricket pitch could be considered as one of the most scenic in England, with Burnsall fell in the back ground and the river running round half of the boundary.
