Aldbrough - St Barthomew |
 |
Friendly church which appears to only open
Wednesday mornings so best to write to the church and
arrange for the church warden, who lives nearby, to make other
arrangements. You can park on the road more or less outside the
church.

This church is locked:
you will need to contact the church for permission to visit. The
churchwarden seemed puzzeled that most churches actually were unlocked
but was, nevertheless, very helpful. You can park outside the
church.

BEVERLEY |
Beverley was one of the 'Six More English Towns' chosen by Alec
Clifton-Taylor in the BBC Television series and it is certainly
worth a visit. It has not just one two magnificant churches as
well as an amazing number of pubs; the handful I have visited
have been rather good. Plus - and I hope it is still there - an
excellent ice cream shop, Burgess & Son. (just inside
the bar)

is clearly labelled 'The Percy Tomb'; However, it is clearly the
Huggate tomb. Excellent drawing however.

Lady Eleanor
Percy (1328)
This is the famous Percy Tomb, said to be
the most splendid of British Decorated funerary monuments, but
the attribution is uncertain; heraldry, however, makes a date
after 1339 likely. There is no effigy but the top slab of the
tomb chest which was removed in 1825, in the amost certainly
mistaken belief that this was a later addition, bore the indent
of a brass of a priest |

Birdsall - St Mary |
 |
The church - originally an estate church of
Birdsall House - is locked. I wrote to the Vicar who
advised that the key was held at the estate office, giving me
the telephone number. The estate manager is also the
church warden and he and his staff could not have been more
helpful. The one of the two keys was out so someone brought the
other key from the maintenance department on the day of our
arrival. The estate office is signed posted and you may park
outside to pick up the key; you can then drive to the nearby
church (watch out for potholes) and park outside. Don't forget
to return the key!
