St Michael the Archangel

From the outside, this looks like an unexceptional medieval church, but its interior underwent an extraordinary transformation in 1896-8.

Rare classical beauty (built in 1784 by John Carr of York) behind gilded 19th century gates and surrounded by woods on the edge of the village.

The present church is Victorian, built in the 1860s and dedicated in 1868, but it replaced a Norman church about which, unfortunately, very little is known.
