Weaverthorpe
sits in the bottom of the Gypsey Race Valley which flows gently
alongside the main street. The tiny Village sits along side a
quiet country unclassified road between the B1253 and the B1249.
Although the Village is tiny there are two public houses, The Blue
Bell Country Hotel and Public House and The Star Country Inn and
Restaurant. There is a Post Office and The Wolds Stores which
provide for the small number of houses and residents that there
are.
St Andrews Church sits up on the hillside
looking down on the Village below. It is a stone built building
with a Norman Tower and a very unusual round staircase which
protrudes on the exterior of the tower. Over the south doorway is
a sun dial placed there in memory of Herbert of Winchester who
built the Church in the 12th Century.Outside the
Church is a memorial seat.
The Weaverthorpe C of E school
also sits on the hillside presiding over the Village below.
