The B1249
road passes through the North Frodingham with its Main Street
lined with houses, farms, cottages, farm buildings, the Village
shop and two public houses namely The Blue Post and The Star. In
the Market Place, (where the main street branches off to
Brandesburton) can be found the Village Cross. The present one is
believed to be the second on that spot and was erected in 1811.
The cross is suffering badly from traffic pollution and the modern
day elements it has to face.
Also on the Main Street
outside the Village School, can be found the War Memorial which
reads, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends".
The Village
Hall and Play Area stands at the back of the Main Street as do all
the new properties that have been built so it does not encroach on
the setting of this pretty village.
The road narrows and
there is a sharp turn where on the right standing on a rise is The
Church which is dedicated to St. Elgin. It was heavily restored in
the 19th Century although the original Norman Font
remains. The perpendicular tower has a niche around the top, which
is also evident in the exterior north wall.
Past the
church, round another bend and over the river and you reach Bridge
Farm then its out onto the country road as you leave the Village
behind.
