People pass above, but beneath lie the forgotten faithful—Masham’s earliest roots buried in plain sight.

Intrigued? Well join us to find out all about the unusual places and spaces that exist in Masham. This tour isn’t based on hard facts about the geography, historical importance or architecture of Masham, it is more an exploration of the quirky and interesting facts that get passed down the ages through families and friends.

The Peculier™ Guided Walking Tour invites visitors to discover the rather peculier stories, characters, and moments that have shaped this remarkable town; from Saxon saints to Victorian ambition, civic oddities to wartime resilience. As they uncover the tales carved in stone, brewed in barrels, and whispered through winding lanes, you’ll see how Masham’s peculier past lives on.

Highlights include:

• Little Market Place – remains of an Anglo-Scandinavian Christian graveyard, the Old Police House and Masham Town Hall
• Millgate – the old Poor House & Lock-up and Masham School House
• St Mary’s Church and the Saxon Cross
• Masham Marketplace and Silver Street
• College House, College Lane – where the Peculier Court once ruled
• White Bear Memorial and Jubilee Fountain
• Methodist Chapel & Garden – dating back to the late 19th century
