Glasshouses history

---

Records about Glasshouses date back to 1386 and the name of the village is believed to have derived from the Old English Glas Hus, which translates as the place where glass was made. The old twine mill, on the banks of the Nidd, was constructed between 1812 and 1814. Rumour has it that the mill supplied rope to the White Star Line and most notably, Glasshouse rope was used on the Titanic. The mill was built by the Metcalfe family, who sold the business in 1907 after financial trouble.
