Barry, your Castle Bolton in the Yorkshire Dales looks like the castle where James proposed to Helen (All Creatures Great and Small).
My husband and I just finished watching the whole series of that show, so the memory is somewhat fresh in my mind. But I'll be surprised if I'm actually right. Does anyone know?Bev
Almost certainly right. The whole series was filmed around that area, much of it Arkengarthdale, Reeth, Masham etc..

Coin excavations suggest that the Fort was built by Marcus Aurelius Carausius on the instructions of emperor Diocletian between AD 285 and 290. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portchester_Castle
The land area of the parish is 494 hectares (1221 acres), with a population in the 2001 census of 25 people living in 10 households.
The early Norman church dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin is just over nine hundred years old, and remains little altered in size and structure, although the windows are not original, some being medieval and some Victorian. The three foot (90 cm) thick walls are of stone and downland flint. In Norman style the church has a tall narrow nave and a rounded apse chancel for the alter. The original round Norman chancel arch, between nave and chancel, was replaced after about 100 years by a wider pointed arch. The south door was rebuilt when the church was about 200 years old, and the porch in the nineteenth century. The floor tiling is Victorian. The stone font at the west end of the nave is as old as the church. In the chancel there is a piscina, a small sink for washing communion vessels, which appears to be made from a reused Norman column capital
The Church of St Hubert, Hampshire is of Norman origin, but, for all the restoration in 1912, visually predominantly Georgian. It is most famous for the fourteenth-century wall-painting on the north wall of the chancel (dated ca. 1330 by E. W. Tristram
