Another View (from that in the header) of Cow Gill Cote

A view from Cow Gill Cote across Cowgill Field towards Lee Gate Farm (the buildings in the distance), which may be the ancient Cowgill House.

St Mary's, just outside Thornton-in-Craven. Cowgills were baptized, married, and buried here from the earliest records (1568) on. The flat burial box outside the main entrance is for a Joseph Cowgill and family.

All Angel's church at Ilkley. Cowgills were baptized, married, and buried here as early as 1600, possibly earlier.

The ancient baptismal font at All Angel's, Ilkley

St Andrew's church at Slaidburn. Edmund Cowgill was buried here in 1675.

Settle Meeting House. The Settle Certificate of 1682 (transferring Ellen Cowgill and family to America) originated here.
