About
This Norman church dates from about 1132, but its real surprise is inside: almost every wall is covered in colourful Bible scenes painted by Clayton and Bell in the 1860s. It is one of the Sykes Churches Trail churches restored by the Sykes family of Sledmere. A working parish church with occasional services.
