PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION AREAS) ACT

BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST
THE LIME KILN, LOW LANE ENDS FARM, COWLING, NORTH YORKS
I refer to your letter received in this department on 25
May in which you asked the
Secretary of State to consider the above building for
statutory listing.
After careful consideration of all the evidence,
including advice from English
Heritage, the Secretary of State has decided to list the
building. It was added to the
list today in Grade II having been judged to be a
building of special architectural or
historic interest. I enclose a copy of the list entry
for your information
Yours sincerely

ADDRESS
Lime Kiln, Wainmans Bottom, in front of Carr Head,
COWLING
Parish COWLING Case UID: 157307
District CRAVEN
County NORTH YORKSHIRE
Date First Listed:
Formerly Listed As:
RECOMMENDATION
Inspector: Mrs A Clarke
Outcome: Yes, list Recommended Grade: II 17-SEP-2004
Advice Comments/Reason for No Previous Listing:
Reason For Decision: I have looked at all the papers on
this file and other relevant information and
have carefully considered the architectural and historic
interest of this case. In my view The criteria
for listing are fulfilled.
This is a well preserved lime kiln sturdily built of
roughly dressed and coursed rubble. It sits against
a steep bank which has been enhanced to accommodate the
kiln, with a gently sloping charging
-amp to the left side, leading up to the top of the
kiln. From the height of this ramp one can infer that
the kiln pot
survives to about its original height. A semi-circle of
masonry can be seen rising
just above ground level at the top of the kiln. The kiln
has a pointed relieving arch above the draw
hole at the base which extends to almost the full height
of the structure and forms a prominent
architectural feature of the kiln.
Old maps show up to 15 kilns in the vicinity, spread
along the banks of local becks, indicating that
this was an important local industry, providing lime for
building and agriculture.
The kiln is sufficiently well built and complete to
merit listing at Grade II, and would benefit from the
removal of vegetation currently invading the structure.
Decision Precis: This stone-built lime kiln is complete
and well-made, retaining its internal
chamber and a charging ramp to the left, and is
therefore worth listing.

surviving in a Ittle-altered state, with its
