Arrived in Romaldkirk where we have rented a house for a week. Two doors away on the left is a Resturant pub, two doors away on the right is a delightful church.
Chris had arranged for a Range Rover course this morning so I wandered over to the church not expecting it to be open, but to my surprise the door was open and I went in to look around.
A little delving and I discovered St Romald’s “The Cathedral of the Dales” rector in the early 19th century was Reginald Bligh cousin to William Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame.
Beautiful stained glass for windows and the remains of Hugh Fitzhenry Lord Bedale [1305] made for an interesting visit.
A rain shower stopped for a brief while and we took an evening walk ‘around the block’ this is a lovely quaint very old village.
