A grizzly event in Grassington's past took place in April 1766, when local blacksmith Tom Lee killed Dr Richard Petty.
The two attended a cock fight at nearby Kettlewell, where the good doctor won a considerable sum of money. Stopping at a number of inns on the return ride, the pair were pretty drunk by the time they reached Grassington Woods, which is where Petty allegedly met his end.
Although suspected, Tom Lee was initially acquitted at York Assizes due to lack of evidence, and it took a further two years before a former servant came forward with sufficient evidence for Lee to be re-arrested. Tried again at York in July 1768, this time Lee was found guilty of the crime, and later hanged.
