HEADLINE

STRUCTURE

Within the hamlet of Oughtershaw in the heart of Yorkshire Dales sits what is believed to be a John Ruskin building, dating from 1857.

Spotted whilst walking the Dalesway from Ilkley to Windermere in the Lake District in 2015, the former school house is currently in the process of becoming the family home.
