Low Row is a village in Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, England. It lies about 3 miles west of Reeth and is between Healaugh and Gunnerside. It is part of the Richmondshire parish Melbecks. It is a linear village running along one road, the B6270.[1]
A working farm, Hazel Brow Farm, is open to visitors, and a seventeenth-century stone inn called The Punch Bowl is by the main road.[2]
History
The name Low Row comes from the Norse "The Wra" (a nook).[3] The surname "Raw" is associated with the village.[4] The village was raided by Jacobites in 1745, and bodies probably from that raid are buried at the church in Low Row.[2]
