<br/>This circular building was built with a chapel at its centre and rooms round the outside for widows from the parish. It was an almshouse built by Lady Anne Clifford. It was last used as such in the 1970's and had since been renovated by the Landmark Trust and is used as a holiday cottage

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Large Victorian and Edwardian houses often had a group of outbuildings: stables, carriage-house etc. Sometimes these have now been converted into another dwelling. The weather vane has a golden fox.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Instead of being in the centre, the door is into a porch at the side of the house, possibly an original feature judging by the design of the glazing bars in the window above the door.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This was part of the Methodist Chapel but is now the Beamsley Project Charitable Trust. This is an independent charity that provides holiday accommodation in the Yorkshire Dales for people with disabilities.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Although it is in Hazlewood with Storiths civil parish, I believe that this is Beamsley Methodist Church, and is still in use although much of the building as been converted to holiday accommodation for people with disabilities.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The dead-end lane outside the cottages is actually the old main road. A footpath continues up to the next stretch of old road that is similarly used for local access.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Struff Wood is on the left, and on the other side of the wall with the telephone poles there is a track to New Hall. This is a public footpath. The field boundaries have been arranged so that a small rocky outcrop is in a corner.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>There is a field gate at the rear of the grounds of the almshouses, and from it there are good views across the fields. Here there is a pond in the field, not on the map so perhaps the result of months of wet weather. Struff Wood is in the distance.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Here what could be an old railway carriage has evidently been a dwelling long ago. It is at the far side, with a good view, of quite a large plot about 20m square.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This view is aided by telephoto, and shows what appears to be a long-disused holiday home, probably made from a railway carriage.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>A wonderful circular almshouse, with a small chapel at the centre of it.Founded in 1593, it now belongs to the Landmark Trust.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>In this north-west corner of the grounds of Beamsley Hospital there is a group of trees that has been colonised by ivy, which also covers the ground over a wide area.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>As usual in the older almshouses, there is a chapel, and the residents are required to attend services at intervals during the week. A visiting Reader came to read passages from the Bible. The building is still shown as a 'place of worship' on the map, although it is owned by the Landmark Trust and used as a holiday cottage.
