- The Dale also contains two Methodist chapels, one at Airton (see photo above) erected in 1897, replacing an earlier, smaller chapel and one at Malham, erected in 1865.
- There is a Quaker Meeting House and burial ground in Airton. The Scalehouse Meeting was founded by 1669 as part of the Settle Monthly Meeting, being renamed Airton Meeting in the 17th or 18th century. It then transferred to the Brighouse Monthly Meeting in 1853 and closed in 1922, but reopened in 1943 and closed yet again in 1948. The Meeting house dated 1696 is still used occasionally, as is the Burial ground. Some records are lodged at the Public Record Office and the Brotherton Library at Leeds University.
