Danby - St. Hilda’s Church by Yorkshire Lad - Paul Thackray The first church on the site was probably of 12thcentury date, but it seems to have been entirely rebuilt during the first half of the 13th century, and the chancel then erected stood, though in a more or less ruinous condition, until 1848, when it was taken down and reconstructed in its present form by Viscount Downe. The nave had been previously rebuilt by the parish at the end of the 18th century in the style of the time Daniel Duck was the vicar of Danby from 1780 until he was succeeded by his son Joseph in 1825 The Rev. John Christopher Atkinson was Vicar of Danby 1850–1900 and author of Forty Years in a Moorland Parish, 1891 Danby Village is located within the North York Moors National Park but St Hilda’s is about 2 miles outside of the village further up Danby Dale https://flic.kr/p/2ke58pE -- source link
