We are very pleased to announce the publication of the latest and final post in David Klausner's blog series on North Yorkshire, 'The Drama of Recusancy in Yorkshire's North Riding.'
This final post considers the village of Egton -- home to 'the country's only known company of recusant players' -- as a hub of recusant activity. The port at Whitby, far from any large urban centres, offered a quiet entry point for newly ordained priests making their way home to England from the continent. Priests travelled from Whitby through Egton to reach the nearby Grosmont Priory, which acted as a safe house.
We are most grateful to Mark Chambers for his photographs of contemporary Egton and environs.
