Saxon

All that visit St Gregory's Minster in Kirkdale, Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire want to see the Anglo Saxon sundial above the entrance.
The Old English inscriptions on the sundial tell us that St Gregory's was bought by Orm Gamelson when it was in ruins and he had it rebuilt. It tells us that this was during the period when Tostig was Earl of Northumbria, 1055-1065. The earliest phase of the present building was therefore within this decade. I am showing you one of the salvaged saxon stones taken from the older church, and built into the walls in the eleventh century.
