As we walk in the present, it is no bad thing to feel echoes of the past.

I was on a long would walk north of Thorganby – the name itself perhaps an echo of Viking raids.

I came upon a valley that seemed particularly inviting and well shaped.

Looking at my map, I saw marked at the far end: ‘REMAINS OF PRIORY (PREMONSTRATENSIAN)’, where Priory Farm can now be found.

I wandered what history had happened there five hundred years before.
