Whenby

However, the lands around Whenby were forfeited to the crown in 1715 after James Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater was found guilty of treason.The surface is undulating, and the soil generally a rich clay loam, and the parish is an average of 200 feet (61 m) above sea level.[11] St Martins has a chancel, north aisle, porch, nave, mortuary chapel, and a tower, containing three bells.[12] There is a doorway of ancient date, which is generally supposed to have been used for public access to the church, or in connection with the priest's house.[13] Although declared redundant in October 1983, it still forms part of the ecclesiastical parish of Dalby with Whenby,[11][14] and is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.
