Chapel Outing to Wensleydale

Nearly twenty of us from the chapel visited Hawes today, including a tour of the Wensleydale Cheese factory. It was a surprisingly impressive place with a long history. It's set in stunning surroundings in the dales. The milk from which they make their cheese comes from 45 farms within a forty mile radius; the upland herbs which the cattle eat give their milk a distinctive flavour which in turn affects the taste of the cheese. Kit Calvert, who saved the business, was a follower of the Lord Jesus whose memory we honour.

It was also good to meet up with some folk from the former Settle Congregational Church and enjoy some fellowship.
