[Bell Historians] Peculiar Churches.

[Andrew Aspland]

Masham of course is famous for its OLD PECULIER beer which is related to
peculiar churches.  Is this Masham or could it be MIddleham?
Masham's patron is now Trinity College Cambridge and Middleham's include the
Bishop.

  But it says it on the internet so it must be true :-)

  Middleham certainly seems dubious - it is listed as part of the Ripon &
  Leeds Diocese on their website, and is a joint parish containing three
other
  churches in addition to Middleham. One of the patrons of the living is the
  Bishop of Ripon and Leeds. This does rather contradict Wikipedia's
assertion
  that it is a 'Royal peculiar of the present day'.
