St Mary and St Laurence's Church, Rosedale Abbey

St Mary and St Laurence's Church is the parish church of Rosedale Abbey, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Rosedale Priory was founded in the 12th century, and its chapel was rebuilt in the 14th century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was retained as a place of worship for the village, becoming a chapel of ease to St Andrew's Church, Middleton. In 1839, the chapel was demolished, and a new church was built, to a design by Lewis Vulliamy, incorporating one window from the old building. In 1876, the church was given its own parish, and perhaps at this time, a gallery was installed inside. The building was grade II listed in 1987. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel in a single unit, and a south vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote with a pointed bell opening. The windows are tall lancets, the 14th-century window having two lights. Inside, the pews were made in 1907 by Robert Thompson, while the oak lectern is 19th century and was made in the Netherlands. There is a "bishop's chair" made of stones from the priory, and an old gravestone with a cross.

Rosedale Priory

Rosedale Priory was a priory in Rosedale Abbey, North Yorkshire, England that was founded c. 1150–1199. By the time the priory was suppressed in 1535, it had one prioress and eight nuns. The religious house in Rosedale was a priory and not an abbey, despite the village being given the name Rosedale Abbey, and it is unclear why this came about. The priory was founded during the reign of Henry II and finished during the reign of Richard the Lionheart. The land was donated by Robert de Stuteville, so that nuns from the Benedictine order could worship and farm the surrounding land. After suppression during the reign of King Henry VIII, the priory was abandoned, though it is thought that most of the stones were re-used in the construction of the village buildings including the adjacent church of St Mary and St Lawrence. The only ruin left standing is a 13th-century turret which rises to 20 feet (6.1 m) high and is just to the west of the present church. The turret was grade II listed in 1953.

Rosedale Chimney Bank

Rosedale Chimney Bank or just Chimney Bank is a hill pass that carries a minor road between Rosedale Abbey and Hutton-le-Hole in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England. The tarmacked highway shares the title of steepest road in England (the other is Hardknott Pass in Cumbria). The pass has an average gradient of 13%, with a maximum gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%) and climbs 568 feet (173 m) on its 0.81-mile (1.3 km) route. It is colloquially known by cyclists as The Chain Breaker. In 1987 it was used as the venue for the National Hill Climb Championship. It takes its name from a 100-foot (30 m) high chimney which was built to support an ironstone mine which was in that area. The mine closed in 1929, but its chimney remained until it was demolished on 28 July 1972.

Rosedale, North Yorkshire

Rosedale is a valley located almost in the centre of the North York Moors national park in North Yorkshire, England. The nearest town is Kirkbymoorside, 7 miles (11 km) to the south. Rosedale is surrounded by moorland. To the north-west sits Blakey Ridge at over 1,300 feet (400 m) above sea level. At Dale Head is the source of the River Seven, which flows down the valley to join the River Rye at Little Habton near Malton. At its southern end Rosedale is squeezed between Spaunton Moor and Hartoft Rigg, where the river flows out through Forestry Commission woodland before passing the village of Cropton to reach the plains of the Vale of Pickering. The modern village of Rosedale Abbey, built around the site of a former Cistercian Priory is the main settlement in the valley. There is also a small hamlet at Thorgill. Few inhabitants of Rosedale work in farming. The majority of houses are bought as second homes and as such the permanent local population has been significantly reduced. In mid-August, Rosedale Show is held at Rosedale Abbey and attracts some 5,000 people from all parts of Britain. The show dates back to 1871 and is one of the oldest in North Yorkshire. The Frank Elgee memorial was erected in 1953 at Blakey Ridge on The North York Moors, overlooking Loose Howe at Rosedale Head.
