A path well royally trodden – framed in the lychgated entrance, the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda in the North Yorkshire village of Middleham, near Leyburn in Wensleydale.
Grade I listed, the ancient church dates from the 13th century and was where Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) once worshipped.
King Richard spent several years during his childhood at Middleham Castle and which later became one of his royal homes.
