The most beautiful village you have never heard of! Aldbrough St John 🇬🇧

Aldbrough In the Norse language Aldbrough means "Old Burh" or fortified stronghold. Later The St John suffix was added to the name in the 1930s by the Post Office to avoid confusion with the Aldborough near Boroughbridge.
It's located in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire.

At one time Aldbrough St John had a "small castle". We know this from John Leland's account in 1540 that "There appere great ruines of a howse or litle castel at Albruch village, and thereby rennith a bekke. It standith a 2 mile south from Perse Bridg on Tese". Perse Bridg is now called Piercebridge 2 miles north of Aldbrough referred to above as Albruch.

I visit The Parish Church of Saint Paul , find a grade 2 listed bridge (Packhorse bridge) & a grade 2 listed water spring on the village green. while avoiding the "panic" that was covid.
