More recently, the population has shown to be continually decreasing following the 2001 UK census falling to 252 people, however the 2011 census has shown an increase to 261 people- the first population increase since 1901. Construction of the local church began in May 1861, on the site of a previously demolished building. St Saviour church was completed in August, 1862, under the patronage of the Feversham Estate, Charles Barry Jr, whose father designed the Houses of Parliament. It was originally furnished by William Duncombe, who represented the North Riding of Yorkshire as a Member of Parliament between 1859 and 1867. The church contains glass from Hardman, and most recently a Millennium Cross produced by a local craftsman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Helmsley History and heritage: St Saviour's Church )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
