position overlooking the banks of Codbeck at Norby.
The Church is open to visitors on a daily basis (10am to 4pm) and on Sundays

own right, and also houses exhibitions several times each year. Refreshments and lunches are
available every Monday IN SEASON.
St Mary's Church is just 150 yards from 'The World of James Herriot' and Thirsk Museum
(the birthplace of Thomas Lord, who gives his name to Lords Cricket Ground).

breakfast establishments within easy reach.
