St Mary s Parish Church Lastingham North Yorkshire Moors National Park
St Mary’s Church (Map Ref: 7281 9046) in the North Yorkshire village of Lastingham is one of the most wrote about places when discussing Earth energies or ley lines. The church was founded on the site in 660 by St Cedd, in 1078 the crypt was built over St Cedd’s grave, the structure remains much the same today as when it was constructed. The crypt houses a far older alter and a collection of sections from ancient crosses collated from the countryside round about. One of the sections is intertwined with serpents (see right), and on closer investigation carved serpents can be seen around parts of the church. The serpent is a lunar symbol, also connected with woman and fecundity, though the link is complex, and it also symbolises energy.
