Heritage Open Day: Five Headland Churches: Follow the stunning coastline to Sewerby, Flamborough, Bempton, Speeton & Reighton. Exploring history, heritage and hidden curiosities within the unique ancient churches at the heart of the villages. A slightly wonky octagonal tower lantern turret rises up from Saxon foundations, there is a goblet shaped font, 21st century adaptations, an unusual Chancel screen and a stained glass window proud with sea parrots. Once linked to Bridlington Priory one of the bells is inscribed “1371 in memory of John de Thwingâ€, better known as St. John of Bridlington. In the early 1440s, a separate Parish of Bempton came into existence. Parish Priests were now the spiritual leaders of local communities.
