REDMIRE, '''a chapelry, in the parish of Wensley''', union of Leybourn, wapentake of Hang-West, N. riding of York, 6¼ miles (W. N. W.) from Middleham; containing 288 inhabitants. The lead-mines formerly in operation here have been almost exhausted, but calamine is got in abundance, and in the neighbourhood coal is obtained. In the chapelry is a fine spring strongly impregnated with sulphur, with a convenient well for bathing. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to that of Bolton-Castle: the chapel is dedicated to St.Mary. The tithes have been commuted for £184, and the rectorial glebe here consists of an acre and a half. There is a place of worship for Wesleyans; also a free school, founded in 1725 by the Rev. Thomas Baynes, who endowed it with lands now producing an income of about £19. | REDMIRE, '''a chapelry, in the parish of Wensley''', union of Leybourn, wapentake of Hang-West, N. riding of York, 6¼ miles (W.
