Driving back from Sutton Bank we decided to stop and have a look at St Gregory’s Minster in Kirkdale, near Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire. St Gregory’s date back to the Anglo-Saxon period and has a rare sundial set into the outer wall of the nave above the south door. The inscription on the sundial tells how Orm bought St Gregory's Minster when it was all broken down and fallen and let it be made anew from the ground to Christ and St Gregory. The dial and the reconstructed Minster date to the mid 11th century. Which was nice.
