The
picturesque Village of Wold Newton lies deep within the beautiful
country side of The Yorkshire Wolds and is built around the
Village green and pond into which the Gypsey Race flows. The neat
houses are all in keeping with the characteristic charm of the
Village, many with tiny georgian windows and white painted wrought
iron railings.
All Saints Church is hidden by sturdy
mature trees such as sycamore, beech and chestnut,all which add to
the beauty of the Village. Many of the features found inside the
Church are Norman. Also hidden from view is Wold Newton Hall. The
Weslyan Centenary Chapel was built in 1839.
The Village
pub, The Anvil Arms, is built on the site which was once the
Blacksmiths Shop and well over two hundred years on it retains its
original structure and interesting features.
There is a
brick column erected in the middle of a field on the outskirts of
the Village which marks the spot where a meteorite crashed to
earth on the 13th December 1775 at 3pm. The pieces of
which are held at the Natural History Museum in London.
