Grade II 등급 빅토리아 시대 교회(1846-1853년 건축)로, 매우 독특한 건축가 Edward Buckton Lamb가 설계했으며 Lady Frankland‑Russell이 자금을 지원했습니다. 노스요크셔에서 가장 건축적으로 특이한 시골 교회 중 하나로, 청어뼈 모양의 벽돌, 자갈 벽, 날씬한 첨탑, 인상적인 장미 창문으로 즉시 알아볼 수 있습니다.

The plaque reads: This stone is one of several erected during the plague of the 17th century. Here the country people brought their market produce to avoid taking it into plague infected town. Money was left in the trough of disinfected water.

In some ways Beningbrough is a real treat. It's on the natural cycle route from Thirsk to York and provides a lovely stretch of very quiet, stately home grounds to cycle through. And if you are a National Trust member you might as well visit when you are there: the gardens are very pretty, and there is a café. On the other hand, the hall itself is rather deserted with very little by way of furnishings. It certainly doesn't feel like a real place, more like a cinema set in between films.

I believe that the bridge is closed for repair until 31 October 2023 so look to take a detour. Komoot has automatically routed me across the golf course to the North which you can get through with your bike (unofficially).

Interesting historical location, but it's not possible to go onto the battlefield

Please note that at the time of writing this bridge is closed to all traffic including cyclists.

Beningbrough Hall is a large Georgian mansion with extensive gardens and parkland. It was built in 1716 by York landowner John Bourchier III. The National Trust acquired the estate in 1958 after it was given to the country in lieu of death duties. You can visit the house and gardens and there is also a shop and cafe on site. If you're not a NT member there is an admission price to explore the house and gardens but the parkland has footpaths through it and is open to all, as is Home Farm cafe.

The Battle of Marsden Moor was fought on 2nd July 1644, the largest in the English Civil War and possibly the largest ever in England. It was a decisive point as the Royalists were defeated meaning they had lost control of the North of England. There are a number of interp boards at the memorial which give further information.
