The village of Skelton-cum-Newby (no I'm not making it up) is where the second Martian church was built. The church of Christ the Consoler was build as an extravagant memorial to Frederick Vyner who had been murdered in Greece. A really beautiful church if a bit OTT. Sadly not used for it's intended purpose these days.We found it full of primary school kids doing projects on 'Patterns and Sets' - the principal said the church was a great teaching resource. Let's hope Fred thinks the same!
The only reason these sort of places are kept in good condition is the work of the Churches Conservation Trust. Some may think it's all a waste of money - it's called culture.
