Abstract
Village morphology is studied along the length of Nidderdale, in North Yorkshire. A close relationship between village forms and topography is apparent. In the lower valley section, where the environmental characteristics resemble those of the lowland zone, villages are found to display the dynamic qualities of realignment, contraction and migration that have been recognised in villages in the Midlands and southern England. Of the five villages studied in this zone, two, or possibly three, have shifted, two villages have become lost and one has completely changed its orientation. In the middle valley section, where the setting assumes an upland character, the villages studied are found to result from processes of late nucleation associated with water-powered industrialisation. In the more remote and sparsely-populated upper valley zone, such villages as exist have evolved from monastic grange settlements.
