Scarborough Medieval Chapel: St Mary’s

First built about A.D. 1000 and rebuilt in the 12th and again in the 14th century. St Mary’s Chapel in Scarborough stands in the ruins of a Roman Signal station built about A.D. 370 to give warning of Anglo-Saxon raiders. Before this time the headlands was occupied about  500 B.C. by iron age settlers from the low countries or the Rhineland.

We visit this place many times each year and it is such a peaceful place to meditate and pray. I love the feeling of history wrapping itself around me and my prayers joining with the echo of thousands of others over the years.
