Illustrated Talks
Informative and Historical Talks for both Visitors and Residents
of the Yorkshire Dales
every Monday during the Summer months. See our list of speakers for details.
This site is to provide information and contact details for the Illustrated Talks only. (Slide Shows). The talks are one of the ways that St Andrew's Church, Grinton raises income to help with the upkeep and running costs. Although these talks are organised on behalf of the church there are no 'religious sermons' either before, during or after the event.
All the
illustrated talks are 60 to 75 minutes in length. They start at 8 pm and are held at
the former Fremington Sunday School. They are followed by coffee and tea including homemade biscuit, all within the price of
£3.00 per adult and £1.00 per child. It is a friendly and 'family' atmosphere
throughout. The speakers and subjects range from local through to national
themes and
at times international and are light hearted. The whole evening is thoroughly
enjoyable whether you are a visitor or local. There is no advanced booking -
first come, first served basis.
All proceeds from these talks go towards the upkeep of St Andrew's Church, Grinton net of speaker costs for those who charge or ask for a nominal fee to cover expenses. All advertising and printing is provided by the volunteer helpers. The whole event is organised on behalf of St Andrew's Church, Grinton by a handful of volunteers who are either church members or like myself a local with a great respect for this very old and beautiful building.
This site and contents have been provided voluntarily by myself Jeremy Hutchinson to help promote not only the talks to both locals and visitors but to let the many visitors that this area receives know about St Andrews church itself. In my view, based upon its history, architecture and stature it is a building well worth supporting.
This site has no other connection with the church or its professional duties. You must contact the vicarage directly for any other matter connected with St Andrew's, Grinton.
