Driving along the A68 heading towards Darlington near the Slaley Hall turnoff, you can see a very strange looking church quite literally in a field. Tonya, my wife first saw it with the back drop of the sun setting. It looked beautiful.
This afternoon we drove past the church and decided to pull over and have a walk. After a small bridge, one field, through a couple of gates along the footpath we arrived. Next to the church was some kind of structure. After Googling we found out the the church was St Andrew's Church and the structure was The Hopper Mausoleum. Both found on Greymare Hill. More information can be found here.
