The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a handsome edifice, and the living, which is a dis charged vicarage, in the patronage of Trinity College, Cambridge, is enjoyed by the Rev.

There is here a curious bridge, called Yore, which rises thirty-two feet, and spans seventy-one; the concave of which is embellished with pendent petrifactions, and its airy battlements beautifully festooned with spreading ivy. The cataracts near this place also claim the attention of every tra veller; so much so, that the learned Dr. Pocock, whose search after the sublime and marvellous brought him to Aysgarth, is said to have owned, with exultation, that these cataracts exceeded those so celebrated on the Nile. In addition to the parish church there are two meeting-houses, one for the Society of Friends, and another for the Methodists. Population, 293. Hammond John, gentleman |
