St Andrew
East Heslerton, Yorkshire
A tall tower and wonderful views.
A peaceful medieval church.
Wintringham, Yorkshire
This beautiful and peaceful church, with an elegant spire, was built from the Norman period to the 15th century.
The oldest part of the church is the Norman chancel with its priest's door and corbel table; the nave and west tower are of the 14th century, although externally the tower has crenellated parapets and Perpendicular tracery of the 15th century.
The graveyard is filled with 18th and 19th century monuments to the former inhabitants of this sleepy village.
The church is full of interesting furnishings including Jacobean bench pews, medieval carvings and stained glass. Look carefully and you might also find green men, mythical beasts and sword markings.
