The Club took advantage of a once a year opportunity to visit Coverham Abbey, near Middleham, for its yearly plant fair and open day.
Founded around 1200, the Abbey had around 15 monks by the end of the 14th century. Dissolved in 1536 by, who else but Henry V111 it was gradually concerted into a private dwelling thereafter.
We would like to extend our thanks to the Corner family, staff and helpers who put on a splendid spread in the tea rooms, where we sheltered from a shower as soon as we arrived, but then quickly headed outside to the Knot Garden and plant fair.
Considering its on our doorstep its surprising that none of us had been before !
