... We then went to a small village with a 13th century church and an old tower that was once the gatehouse of a large manor which is long gone. Had a beer in a pub there.

Finally to Ripon, where Jeans' grandmother was born. A lovely small town with a huge Cathedral. The town was full of bikers all dressed up as Santa or other characters. Must have been a charity run.
