882 St Martin on the Hill, Scarborough
The church was designed by GF Bodley and is packed with Pre-Raphaelite glass by Burne Jones, Rossetti and the gang.... Victorian glass don't come much better
The sculpture commemorates Mary Craven who commissioned the church.
A local school has done versions of stations of the cross....
So on to Castle Howard famous for appearing in Brideshead Revisited.
Building began in 1699 to a design of Sir John Vanburgh and took a 100 years to complete. A fire in 1940 destroyed the dome (rebuilt) and damage can still be seen. Painitngs lost includes 2 Tinoretto's.

A very interesting church Pete - love all the stained glass and the sculpture of Mary Craven (so unusual).
Castle Howard looks rather impressive!
