Starbeck Junior School and war memorial. I tried all sorts of angles but could not get a shot round the tree.  Must pack an axe with my camera.  A lovely old solid stone built building typical of this area.

Stone gates in Starbeck. The buildings beyond are now residential.  I suspect that at some time in the past there was work going on in there.

St Robert's Chapel, Knaresborough This is the remains of a cave between the riverside lane and the River Nidd.  St Robert was the son of a mayor of York, and was born c.1160 and died in 1218.  He spent most of his life as a hermit in the cave, most of which has been eroded and washed away by the river.  What remains are the access steps, altar and stone bed - too small for him to be able to lie straight.
