The church of St. Gregory is the main church in the Benefice of Bedale. A Grade I Listed Building, the present structure dates back to the latter part of the twelfth century with further restoration work having taken place over the last 800 years.
Located at the northern end of the Market Place it is a prominent feature of the town and the main tourist attraction.
St. Gregory’s receives over 10,000 visitors per year through its church and grounds with many of them participating in our Teddy Bear Trail. Led by Gregory Bear, this team of bears all have very important jobs around the church and children follow their trail by answering specific questions about them in our Trail Booklet.
