More about this scene
Once a busy market until the plague forced customers away, the village was then eclipsed by Leyburn. Holy Trinity church contains a Saxon cross, found in the 19th century, and the Bolton family pews, which came from the theatre in London's Drury Lane. It is said that the Duke fell in love with a singer in 'The Beggar's Opera' and kept her as his mistress for many years.
