Sir – What a wonderful picture in the Dales Life supplement of Janet’s Foss near Malham. However, the real name is Jennet’s Foss. The name Jennet came into my father’s family when my great great grandfather Thomas Maudsey married Jennet Procter of Close House, Giggleswick.
It was quite a common name at the time.
Jennet Maudsley Giggleswick
