Information About This Church

* St Walburge's is the tallest spired parish church and the third tallest church spire of any type in Britain. * Preston was made a City for the millennium celebrations so it is likely that St Walburge's will be elevated to cathedral status in time. * Completed in 1854.

The village owes its fame to Aysgarth Force, which comprises three main waterfalls, and a number of cascades. The upper falls can still be viewed from a 16th century single-arch bridge over the Ure.

Caption For Chelmsford, High Street C1955

Missing, of course, is the enormous Cater House - though the crane indicates that it was already more than a twinkle in the architect's eye.
