Parish Church of St Agatha ~ The church is located nearby Richmond and is easily reached by a foot path which follows the River Swale. The exact foundation date of the church is unknown, but it is thought to predate the neighbouring abbey which was founded in the 12th century. St. Agatha's retains medieval frescoes that were preserved through the Reformation after being whitewashed. [source wikipedia]
