Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?

middlesmoor-stchads

1. St Chad's, Middlesmoor

This church at the top of Nidderdale is said to have one of the best views of any church in England.

St Chad’s celebrates a monthly joint Methodist and Anglican service – affectionately known as a ‘Methlican service’ – and there are several services dedicated to rural and local traditions, e.g. the Lambing Service in May and the Bell Festival in June. 

The present grade II listed building dates from 1866, but there has likely been a church here for over 1,000 years. It is home to an Anglian hammerhead cross which which legend says St Chad preached near, and which is inscribed with Cross of St Ceadda (St Chad).

St Chad, who lived in the 7th century, was a pupil of St Aidan of Lindisfarne and was succeeded as bishop of the Northumbrians by St Wilfrid.

harrogate-letters

2. Harrogate letters, Harrogate

These nine letters spelling out H-A-R-R-O-G-A-T-E were installed after Harrogate BID put out a call for ideas to brighten up Cambridge Place, the street that connects Cambridge Street and Oxford Street, alongside Boots.

The BID, which funded the project, asked businesses and residents what they felt best symbolised the town. The responses, which included Bettys, cycling, Yorkshire Tea and the Stray, were given to Douglas Thompson, a local mosaic artist and freelance creative at Harrogate charity Artizan International.

The mosaics were made with the help of Aritzan's disabled artists and volunteers, and installed in February 2022.

scriven-warmemorial

3. War memorial, Scriven

The Scriven War Memorial, also called the Scriven Shrine, is a grade II listed shelter-style memorial north of Knaresborough, bearing the names of five local men who were killed in the World Wars – three in the first, two in the second.

It was put up in 1953 to mark Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and is built using stonework salvaged from Scriven Hall.

newbyhall-headon

4. Newby Hall

This magnificent country house near Ripon – called the "the finest house I saw in Yorkshire" by one 17th-century traveller – was enlarged and remodelled in the 1760s to designs by John Carr and Robert Adam, the architectural megastars of their day.

That work was commissioned by the then owner William Weddell, MP for Malton, who had benefited from his great-uncle's South Sea Company fortune. 

Now grade I listed, the house and beautiful gardens are owned by the Compton family, who are matrilineal descendants of Weddell.

Newby Hall, which is open to the public, is home to the national collection of dogwoods (Cornus) and also of Gyles Brandreth's teddy bear museum.
