Richmond Grammar School

I went to Richmond Grammar from 1963 to 1969. I left the area shortly after that and have only recently returned to North Yorkshire. I'm currently trying to get in touch with many of my old school friends. It's great to see this picture!

Up From Brum

The picture reminds of the year that my wife and I moved from Birmingham to Richmond and bought a house on what was then the new Shepherds Estate on the Darlington Road.  We soon came to love Richmond, N Yorkshire and that area for the people and countryside, that to a townie was an enlightening experience.  We lived in Richmond for...

Here we see the remains of the Premonstratensian Abbey of St Agatha. The abbey was founded in 1155 by the Constable of Richmond Castle; the members of the Order were known as the White Canons after the colour of their habits.

Ringwood Photographic Memories

Little of the abbey church remains, but other buildings around the cloister are better preserved. This view shows the south transept (centre left), with the chapter house on the right. The ruined walls are now free of the lush vegetation shown here, and well consolidated, but Easby Abbey is still privately owned (although in English Heritage's guardianship).
