This historic church in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, boasts stunning Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Its striking features include a tall, narrow spire, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful stained-glass windows. The adjacent Parish Cross, a medieval-style monument, adds to the site's charm and historical significance.
Loved this hidden gem! Never seen so many skull and crossbones in one graveyard before! The Parish Cross is an amazing piece of history and the church itself with it's 2 sets of 'viewpoint' stairs is fantastic. The whole site is awesome to see and definitely worth a visit. Someone had obviously been tending to the grounds just before we visited as the grave slabs were all very neatly edged and not a weed in sight. We parked just past the gates in a little wooded area right by the back of the church but probably best to park in town and walk the short distance. Bear in mind, the small country road is the busiest road ever but the traffic is well used to pedestrians! I will most certainly come back here again for another visit
There is no place to park specifically but rough ground off the road can be used. The gate is heavy but on wheels to help opening it. There are many interesting gravestones to look at and the inside of the church can be viewed. We were there for 20 minutes looking at graveyard.
So fascinating to see 18th century gravestones with the ancient skull n crossbows if you like that dort of thing.
Pretty abandoned church ruins, but without any eerie feelings . Enjoyed the visit
