Kirkham Priory, Yorkshire
Little known unless you turn off the busy York to Scarborough road, Kirkham Priory, situated beside the River Derwent, is known for its massive gatehouse. The structure is decorated with the heraldic arms of the benefactors, former 'lords and masters' who showed no poverty of generosity towards the priory. The arms in their original state would have been brightly painted.
The benefactors included the following land owning families in North and East Yorkshire:
De Clares (two red chevrons on a gold field)
De Roos of Helmsley and Holderness (Three stylised silver water buckets on a red field)
De Vaux (Chequy red and silver)
L'Espec (Three silver Catherine wheels, representing the wheel upon which St. Catherine was broken) on a red field.
FitzRalph (Three rosettes, red and green on a field of silver and blue horizontal bars)
Scrope (A gold bend on a blue field)
De Fortibus (A vair cross patonce on a red field)
The arms of England are also shown (three lions passant guardant)
In someways these heraldic arms are similar to the corporate logos of today. The corporations are now our 'lords and masters', influencing governments and trying to control our lives.

Kirkham Priory
On a lovely November day we went to Kirkham Priory. We haven't been for many, many years and we found it was well looked after by English Heritage. The music is The Maid with the Flaxen Hair by Debussy, which I felt went with the calm surroundings that day. Suitable for Children and Family viewing

Thixendale / Kirkham Priory bike ride, #2 in my recommended N Yorkshire cycle rides
Looking for some great cycle routes in North Yorkshire? If jaw-dropping views, incredible scenery, medieval ruins and even a ruined medieval village are your thing, then this 33-mile circular bike ride has to be amongst THE MOST SPECTACULAR of all Yorkshire Wolds cycle rides. With an elevation gain of 2466 there are some hefty climbs but they’re well worth it for the awesome views, believe me – you feel on top of the world!! Also, would you believe this is a WARM, SUNNY SATURDAY in the school summer holidays – yet it’s so quiet! And cycling in the Yorkshire Wolds wouldn’t be complete without freewheeling down the spectacular Water Dale to Thixendale which was almost deserted.
This cycle ride is #11 in Nick Cotton’s book ‘Cycle Tours North York Moors’ – ‘South from Malton to Kirkham Priory and Thixendale’ - the only change being that I started at Barton-le-Willows and cut out Malton and Norton-on-Derwent by taking a cheeky detour along a bridleway.
Starting at Barton-le-Willows, just off the A64 between York and Malton, the anti-clockwise circular bike ride takes the following route: Howsham Hall, Leavening, Water Dale, Thixendale, Fairy Dale, Wharram Percy Medieval Village, Wharram-le-Street, Duggleby, Duggleby Wold, Settrington (doesn’t go into the village), bypassing Norton-on-Derwent, Menethorpe, Kirkham Priory, Crambe and back to Barton-le-Willows. Includes part of the Yorkshire Wolds cycle route.
Be sure to check out my bike ride videos and the other (mainly Yorkshire) cycle ride segments - ideal for use at the gym on an indoor trainer, exercise bike, treadmill, cross trainer, etc! Most are in Yorkshire, but some are in Lancashire, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Derbyshire.
Most of my newest cycle ride videos are (almost) uncut which makes them ideal for following on an indoor trainer or exercise bike on rainy days or in the winter, which is what I use them for - so you get the climbs and all.

Thixendale / Kirkham Priory, Yorkshire Wolds, on a fantastic autumn day – from Stamford Bridge
This 31.71-mile, 2,015 elevation gain circular ride starts at Stamford Bridge, north east of York, on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and takes us along quiet lanes up onto the Wolds before plunging into stunning Thixendale and up the classic Water Dale, then downhill to Birdsall before taking quiet lanes through woodland, fields and sleepy villages to the ruined Kirkham Priory in its idyllic setting on the banks of the River Derwent, crossing the Scarborough railway with its old-fashioned level crossing and working signal box. The ride then winds its way along quiet lanes back to Stamford Bridge – all on a gorgeous, sunny Autumn Day. Another absolutely fantastic and classic bike ride through the wonderful Yorkshire Wolds.
Be sure to check out my bike ride videos and the other (mainly Yorkshire) cycle ride segments - ideal for use at the gym on an indoor trainer, exercise bike, treadmill, cross trainer, etc! Most are in Yorkshire, but some are in Lancashire, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall and Derbyshire.
