Did think at first the ruins of the abbey was Fountains Abbey near Ripon but not sure about the graves.

Incidently I still use Watneys Red ash tray.

I recall that Watney's 'Red Barrel' was so bad that you wouldn't even use it to put a fire out!

That church has a really unusual spire. Surely there is a Yorkshire Rootschatter out there who recognises it?

I've been Googling all afternoon with no success...
