High Street Methodist Church Walkers and Sponsors

In September 2015, John and Christine Bristow and Roy and Doreen Swanston walked the Whitby Way from York Minster to Whitby Abbey.  The Whitby Way is a March of Witness to commemorate the Synod of Whitby, which brought together the Celtic and Roman Churches some 1400 years ago.  They took 10 days to cover the 66 miles across the Vale of York and North York Moors, whilst their Minister, Reverend Mark Hammond, who joined them towards the end of their walk, completed it in three days.

The Trust was fortunate to be chosen as recipient of 50% of the monies raised and we have received a cheque for £1,241.  Thank you so much Walkers and Sponsors.
