St Hilda is renowned to be the most famous Saint of the Anglo-Saxon times. She was a discinple of St Aidan of Lindisfarne, and the Abbess of Whitby. The church here is from the 18th century, though, built on the site of a previous one, probably from the 12th century. However, in the graveyard you will find St Hilda's Well (Grade II-listed), which was a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages (and now, of your own pilgrimage!)
