Other Things to Do

Ripon: A short drive away, Ripon's 1350‐year‐old Cathedral is well worth a visit (4 miles).
Fountains Abbey and St Mary's Church, Studley: This National Trust & English Heritage World Heritage Site is also nearby (8 miles). You can combine a visit here with seeing our sister church St Mary's, perched atop the Studley estate. Another William Burges masterpiece, St Mary's Church was built at the same time as Christ the Consoler on the Estate of Frederick Vyner's sister and her husband. It is no coincidence that the chosen dedication was Mary, also the name of their mother, Lady Mary Vyner. please check the National Trust for opening times.
