Settle Carlisle Railway Conservation Area (SCRCA) Holy Ascension Church, Settle lies outside the boundary of the Settle-Carlisle Railway Conservation Area (SCRCA). However, it has a direct and important association with the SCRCA through the memorial to "those, who through accidents lost their lives, in constructing the railway works between Settle, and Dent Head", plus the marked and unmarked graves of a significant number of those people.
