Background

History

The Church of St. Mary and St. Romuald is located on land that was at one time attached to the Black Friars monastery, which was founded at Yarm in 1260. The parish originated as a domestic chaplaincy to the Meynell family. In 1860, the parish received its own free-standing church, a gift from Thomas Meynell to his wife. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of York, Mother of Mercy, and St. Romuald, abbot and monastic founder. St. Romuald was born in Ravenna, a favourite resort of the Meynells. Between 2015 and 2023 the parish priest was Fr. Neil McNicholas (1948-2025), the author of several books on Catholicism. The current parish priest is the Very Rev. Canon Alan Sheridan.
