St. Gregory's Minster, Kirkdale
Wednesday 16th December 2015
Had to make a trip to Scarborough, then onto Thirsk today. The weather was overcast with rain, then the sun shone as we approached Kirkbymoorside. We decided we would go and have a look at St. Gregory's Minster in Kirkdale just west of Kirkbymoorside. By the time we got there, the sun had gone. St. Gregory's Minster dates back to the Saxon period and is thought to be from about 750 AD or earlier. There is a Saxon sundial with an inscription stating that Orm Gamal's son bought the Minster when it was in ruin between1055 and 1065AD. The Minster is in a very tranquil location.
