Views of St. John The Baptist, Church Road, Egglescliffe c1981.
It is claimed that there is an underground tunnel from the church to the Friarage in the grounds of Yarm School. It is alleged that it was originally used as an escape tunnel for the monks…
There is I believe a similar story about an escape tunnel for St. Mary’s in Norton. A mark can be seen on the dry graft which would appear to depict a line for a tunnel.
