Pubs There are two pubs in Helperby, both of which serve food as well as providing accommodation. Public Transport There are bus services six days a week (not Sundays) to and from York and Easingwold. Additionally there is a return service to Ripon twice a week on market days. A free supermarket service operates to Morrison's store in Boroughbridge on Monday mornings. Two private hire car services are also based in the village. ST MARY’S MYTON ON SWALE Myton is a small parish which was originally a Saxon settlement and is located near the confluence of the rivers Swale and Ure. The village forms a cul-desac as the road leading through it terminates at Myton Bridge. Present-day Myton is a quiet, attractive village with no shops or public houses. There are approximately fifty houses and farms in the village. The whole parish of Myton used to form one estate and manor, the property of Major Henry Miles Stapylton, J.P., D.L., whose ancestors had been resident at Myton Hall since 10
the reign of Charles I. The Hall is now owned by Sir Ken Morrison CBE of Morrison’s supermarket fame. St Mary’s Church The Church (St. Mary’s) is Grade II* and is said to have been built of stones taken from the ancient Isurium, now called Aldborough. It was thoroughly restored, in 1887-8, at a cost of £1,200, and was reopened by the Archbishop of York on the 4th April, in the latter year. It consists of nave, with north aisle, chancel, tower, and porch. The tower is built of brick faced with stone. It contains three bells, all dating from1805. The east window is a beautiful specimen of the glass stainer's art. Two large and beautiful paintings, representing the Crucifixion and Resurrection, by C. H. Schwanfelder, hang against the north wall of the chancel. The church is unlocked during daylight hours. Worship Style The Sunday worship style used is Common Worship Order 1 using traditional language with a small committed core congregation average attendance of 7. There are three Sunday Services per month, including a Morning Prayer which is currently being taken by one of the Church Wardens. Financial Situation The payment of the Parish Share is up to date, though being a small church family there is a reliance on fund raising events such as fishing matches, a village quiz and a Soup and Sweet lunch to enable the wider community to support the church financially. The quiz and Soup and Sweet lunch in particular are good for pulling the community together. 11
