This is a delightful, quirky and very interesting church at the top of 199 Steps, next to Whitby Abbey. Founded in 1110, but with much of the interior from the 18th century, the Grade I-listed church is steeped in history with fantastic ornamental stone work and Gothic arches. The connection to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' makes it a haunting place to visit, too.
