Lastingham

Lastingham , a beautiful village in the North Yorkshire Moors where we stayed for a few days on our recent trip to Yorkshire.

The Church of St Mary's, Lastingham built in 1078 on the site of the Celtic Monastery of St Cedd and St Chad. I think the giraffes on the roof are due to the Noah Flower Festival which is being held later this month.

An uphill walk through the village leads to Spaunton Moor and the first thing one sees is a Millenium Stone.
