The Church of St Martin On-The-Hill, Scarborough Maritime Centre and St Mary’s Church were among many to open their doors, with more to do the same this weekend.

Every year in September, places from castles to historical houses and offices give people the chance to embrace the past and see the inner workings of the building through the years.
