This North Riding shrine is one I added to the itinerary last year. Little appears to be known of its history, but I imagine, as I wrote last year, that it must antedate the creation of the castle on the headland by King Henry II. Having a place of pilgrimage in what was an important royal castle throughout the middle ages and sixteenth century, as well as seeing action in the Civil War and was garrisoned in 1745, is unlikely unless it already existed before the mid-twelfth century castle was built.
My account of it from last year can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Scarborough
Our Lady of Scarborough pray for Pope Leo XIV
