The fields surrounding Scholes, often a patchwork of muted greens and browns under the wide Yorkshire sky, speak of generations who have worked this soil, their labour a quiet legacy. A certain earthy scent, a mix of damp soil and distant livestock, often hangs in the air, particularly after a soft rain. The local character of Scholes is one of understated continuity, a place where the rhythm of the seasons still dictates much of the pace.
