Fodor's Expert Review St. Mary's with Holy Apostles

Most visitors to this small parish church near the castle are attracted by the churchyard's most famous occupant: Anne, the youngest Brontë sister. Employed as a governess by the Robinson family, Anne accompanied her charges to Scarborough for five summers, returning again in 1849 shortly before her death from tuberculosis in the hope that the sea air would be curative. Her sister Charlotte decided to "lay the flower where it had fallen" and buried Anne above the bay she'd loved. The church itself was originally erected in 1150 and rebuilt in the 17th century.
