All Saints

The church stands adjacent to the moated site of the medieval castle built by Baron de Ros (a signatory on the Magna Carta). A 13th century nave with a 14th century chancel. The west tower was built in 1447 and now houses eight bells, three of which date from the 17th century. Notable features are the north eastern two storey vestry with a spiral staircase leading to a turret tower which extends above the roof parapet. There are strong links with the Sykes family of Sledmere. On the south side of the chancel is an ornate wall tablet in memory of Reverend Mark Sykes vicar of Roos who died in 1783. Members of the Sykes family are buried in the crypt which is accessed by steps outside the east end of the building.

Other items of interest are the 14th century piscina and the oak pulpit dated 1615. The newly restored pipe organ was built in 1881 by Karl Christian Reiter of Hull and is of historic significance. The west porch was added in 1842 by Cottingham as part of his restoration of the building. Mediaeval stained glass was reset in the south side of the clerestory out of harms way. The most recent reordering was completed by renowned architect Temple Moore in 1913. He installed the distinctive chancel screen and rood figures. A carpet of snowdrops in late January early February adorn the country churchyard with its distinctive avenue of yew trees. Near the main gate stands a carved calvary by sculptor Alan Durst.
