Lodge.

About Lodge

Lodge was a hamlet in upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England. The hamlet was dedicated to farming and was a monastic grange owned by the monks of Byland Abbey. Lodge was 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Kettlewell, 10 miles (16 km) south of Leyburn, and 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Middlesmoor. The hamlet was depopulated after the Bradford Corporation, who were building the reservoirs in the area, bought the land and required the occupants to leave so that their farming activities would not pollute the water being gathered in Scar House Reservoir, which was built below the hamlet in the same valley.
