Heritage Walk, Roxby - 5th July 2011

This was the fourth heritage walk round villages in the Mulgrave Ward.  Previously the group has visited Mickleby, Hinderwell and Dalehouse.  It is proving to be a very popular and well attended activity, which also encourages different people to get involved.

Outside St.Nicholas' Church
All that remains of Roxby Manor
Turton Cottages - workshops and cottages built especially for the estate's blacksmith, carpenter and stonemason
Nineteen people attended in Roxby, which included Clive Welford who has lived in the village all his life.  He passed on his extensive historical knowledge and anecdotal stories about the village.
