Out cycling past a fantastic remote church with interesting history. Look it up.
Thockrington church, which stands so prominently on a spur of the Great Whin Sill, is one of the oldest churches in the county The church is dedicated to St Aidan.
Here are buried several members of the ancient family of Shafto, the earliest mention of whom is in 1240. The Shaftos lived at nearby Bavington until the eighteenth century when, as a result of their support of the Jacobite cause in 1715, their estates were confiscated by the Crown, and ultimately sold to a Delaval. The Shaftos had connections with the county of Durham and lived on their Durham estates until 1953, when Mr R. D. Shafto returned to Bavington Hall
