Church

 Walked to a disused church today. Very pleasant walk to it over fields and along what they call drains but are streams of varying size. The church of St Botolph's was closed n the 1970's though it appears burials still take place here, strangely the building has been completely gutted. I thought maybe the altar and font may be in situ but they've gone as well. As have the windows, this could be to deter vandals though there's some graffiti on the inner walls.

There's six graves of Merchant Seaman washed up during World War Two, only one of them has been named. This is to Ordinary Seaman Roderick John McPhee McDonald an 18 year old Glaswegian killed on 21st Oct 1939 when his ship the SS Orsa hit a mine off Flamborough Head. She was taking coal from from the Tyne to Bordeaux. 16 sailors perished.

Continued our walk, only about 3 miles but it was nice and peaceful.

     

Took another walk later in the date over toward the sea. Its too far out to walk to so we just walked the edge by the dunes. Very pleasant.
