We revisited Lealholm in the Esk valley in the North Yorkshire Moors today (to buy apple trees from the wonderful village nursery).
The neat and tidy church stands above the village. It was built in the early 20th century through the local benefactor, Sir Francis Ley, and was consecrated in 1902. Before then Anglican church members had had to travel to the neighbouring village of Glaisdale to worship. The "Francis Ley" name explains the initials on the drinking fountain in my
earlier upload.
We enjoyed our day out and the five apple trees will be delivered in the next few days. I hope that you have had a good day too.
