All Creatures Great and Small – Grinton Church

May 25, 2014

As all eyes turn to the new West End production of that TV favourite “All Creatures Great and Small”, so Yorkshire bellringing fans may remember 1990…

That was the year the cameras came to Grinton church to film part of the final episode of the series.

Grinton, of course, is reinforcing its credentials now as the church at the foot of one of the key climbs of Stage 1 of this year’s Tour de France in Yorkshire.

Here’s the church and the ringing footage from 1990.
