*************

High Bentham or Higher Bentham is a small town in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, with a population of around 3,000 people. The town council is known as Bentham Town Council, and also covers Low Bentham.

The town lies on the River Wenning, west of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and on the northern edge of the Forest of Bowland. The original centre lay in Low Bentham, but a market was granted to High Bentham in the fourteenth century, and it became a centre for weaving from the eighteenth century, particularly after weavers in the town discovered how to weave hosepipes from flax.^{[citation needed]}

It is served by Bentham railway station. Airedale NHS Trust covers Bentham for health matters.

There are a number of churches in High Bentham, including St Margrets parish church, St Bonifaces Catholic church and Bentham Methodist church.
