St Oswald's Church, Lythe
St Oswald’s is an ancient church with an internationally renowned collection of Anglo-Scandinavian carved stones. It is also a living Christian community where worship is offered as in the past. With its spectacular views across the coastline to Whitby, this imposing church continues the tradition of worship at this site that almost certainly began in Viking times.
The name “Lythe” means “on a hill”. The Parish of Lythe, which originally extended over some 40 square miles, and included the present parishes of Egton and Ugthorpe, is nearly all high above sea level, though the sea forms a Parish boundary. At the top of Lythe Bank the Parish Church of St Oswald is a landmark visible for miles from sea and land and it has many centuries of history behind it.
From the exceptional number of 10th century funeral monuments found here, we know that an important graveyard existed during the Viking period. Whether a church also stood on the site we do not know as no archaeological evidence has been found.
Lythe is first documented in the Domesday Book as being held by one Nigel. A church is not mentioned but by 1100, Nigel’s son, Robert Fossard, is recorded as making a grant of the church at Lythe to Nostell Priory near Wakefield.
We know that by the mediaeval period the church had been enlarged in the Early English style. In 1499 the Rector, Thomas Artas, left money in his will for a new aisle and a bell tower containing three bells. Perhaps it was during this building phase that the collection of carved stones was used as building material.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1534, St Oswald’s was granted to the Bygods, the then owners of nearby Mulgrave Castle. It reverted to the monarch during the reign of Henry VIII who then gave it to the Archbishop.
Lythe and the church grew in prosperity thanks to the opening of the alum works at Sandsend in about 1607. At one time 150 men were employed in the industry. By 1743 the Parish of Lythe was one of the largest in the area. A new steeple was built for the church in 1768 and a gallery was installed in 1788.
The church was restored in 1819 and then renovated in 1870, though much of this work destroyed many of the church’s original features.
The church was most recently restored shortly before the First World War; the restoration was inspired and financed by the Reverend the 3rd Marquis of Normanby and other benefactors. The church re-opened on October 9th 1911.

Filey Brigg / Bay & Cobble landing 5th Feb 2018
On the first day of my human companions February holiday they took me to Filey for a wander about by the sea. It was a bitterly cold day and very grey and overcast.
So it was not the best of weathe however it was still nice to be by the sea.
We parked in the car park up on the Brigg and had a walk to see the birds and the view from the top. Then we had a wander down to the cobble landing and on to the beach.
Thank you to Ric Sanders from Fairport Convention for giving me permission to use his composition of The Gallivant.
Note ... I am not making money from this video.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
