In search of Sythy - a headless saint and a lost Teesdale name

PREMIUM St Osyth Priory, near Clacton in Essex, and St Osythe s Farm, near Richmond, are named after the same Anglo Saxon saint AS you venture down the bank north out of Richmond towards Gilling West, you are confronted by an attention-grabbing triumphal arch with huge iron gates dedicated to Voltigeur, the horse which won the 1850 Derby and caused celebrations so all-consuming that a score of men drank themselves to death. The Voltigeur Arch on the road between Richmond and Gilling West We drained every last drop out of that story last week, but the real reason we were going down the steep hill to Holmedale was a search for St Osythe.

Race of the century: When The Flying Dutchman of Middleham went up against Voltigeur of Richmond

IT was the race of the century, the showdown of all time. It was known in horseracing circles as “the Great Match”, and it was so great that it drew the largest crowd at York’s Knavesmire – up to 150,000 people – since murderer Eugene Aram, guilty of killing his co-conspirator in the great Knaresborough shoe swindle, had been publicly executed there 91 years earlier. It was held on May 31, 1851, and it pitted The Flying Dutchman of Middleham against Voltigeur of Richmond, the two greatest racehorses of the day, and although Voltigeur lost, he still has a grand gate in a triumphal arch in his honour to this day.
