From the front of the Wentworth House Hotel turn left. The picture shows a view of Wentworth House taken from the Church. The building was originally built in 1630, by Sir Mathew Wentworth, and rebuilt around 1750 by James Bean, a Jamaican plantation merchant. James bean set up a charity for the poor of Aldbrough and a plague commemorating this may be seen in the bell tower of the church.

Opposite at number 5 Seaside road is an example of a gothic revival cottage.

Almost next door, is the interesting 1 Seaside road with its arched front elevation.

Looking right there are examples of largely unspoilt terraced cottages. 

The village has a very rural feel and many of the central buildings used to be farm houses and still have very spacious grounds.

 

 

 

 

 

Next to the Hotel is number 2 Seaside road and in past times there were 4 terraced cottages between the two premises. At one point the cottage was occupied by the gardener to Wentworth House.

Walking past 2 Seaside road and cross the road past 1 Seaside we are at the back of St Bartholomew's. Here we can appreciate more of the rural side to the village.
