Hi Murrell, It's a long time since I posted this. Grassington School would not have had a sanatorium. However Bradford Corporation ran a Special School in the next village of Linton which had a medical side to it. Between Grassington & Hebden was a Sanatorium, which I think was run by Leeds Health Authority which might be what you are talking about. Let me know which you think it might be & I will see if I have any information for you.

Hi Chris,
I posted these pictures a while ago & have not had much response from the ancestors of the children in the school photograph so it is good to receive your post & it would be really interesting to share knowledge about the family & their relationship with the Chapman family.
Not Dales born & bred, like your family, I do however have a passion for the Dales & lived in Grassington for over 25 years. I collect postcards, photographs & ephemera of the Dales Villages & research/share whatever I find to keep alive the history of the area. The Bownas & Chapman clans are well established Dales families.
If you can let me know what sort of information you are looking for then I can see if I can help.
I do not know if you have the picture of your mother but if not I would be pleased to send you a scan of it.

Hi Craven,
I think the boy you remember was Hedley Patrick, the son of Wilf Patrick who ran a very large building firm. They had a large house on the corner of Raines Lane & Station Road & their yard/shop was at the top of Station Road.

Me again,
I am sorry I missed the post on Grassington School Part 1. I have some pictures of Kit Chapman outside Church house taken from glass slides & I have a couple of photographs, of his vehicles, taken at various places in the Dales. I would love to see any photographs you have & share information about a very important Dales Family.

Hi Again,
Mary Ann Chapman was the daughter of James Allan Chapman born Slingsby in the North Riding in 1865 & Jane Chapman born Carlisle in 1864. He was the schoolmaster & she was an assistant teacher at Grassington School & appear in many of the pictures I have of the period
Mary Ann was their daughter. She was born in Grassington in 1902.
In 1901 & 1911 they lived in the schoolhouse in Grassington.
They also had a son Allan S Chapman born in Grassington in 1895.

Hello Jhm1903,
Dora Chapman, born in the Temperance Hotel, Grassington did have an older brother, William Arthur Chapman born in !907 & that would have made him 11 in the school picture. Their father John Robert Chapman, born 1877 in Buckden, ran the Carriage business in Grassington. I have more information & picture of the family but need to look it up. When I lived in Raines Meadows, Grassington I use to go and talk to a Mrs Chapman who lived on Raines Lane about the Chapman family business. I believe her son ran the cafe in Gargrave.

She was there about 1980 & as far as I know it has been the hands of Linton Church since then.
Maybe you stayed in the house to the right which has a front door looking onto Church House.
Looks like you need a return visit!

Hi Charlotte,
Here is a photograph of Church House, as it is now known, that I found on Grassington Web.
My eldest daughter went to nursery school there before going to Grassington Primary School.
It was once the home of Chapman's who ran the local transport up & down the dales from the days of coach & horses.
