All Saints Church, Aughton, Yorkshire

Details

Accessibility

"Access

The Church is open daily during British Summer Time and at the weekends only during the winter.

For the first time visitor finding the church can be a little tricky. At the end of the road (Main Street) that leads down to the church there is a gate (please close it behind you). A footpath from the gate runs down the right hand side of the manor house, along side the moat ditch, to the church."

Brief description

"A place of outstanding loveliness overlooking the banks of the river, All Saint's Church in Aughton is remote in its accessibility, you could be forgiven for visiting Aughton and not realising that there was a wonderful church tucked away. Aughton's church is located at the far end of the village, the only access way being via a small gateway and through the field to the right of Aughton Hall, which now stands on the site of the original moated medieval manor house, which was there by 1386.

Architecturally, the All Saints Church is noted for its fine Norman arch. The arch between the chancel and nave is a pure Norman one, in four rims, springing from attached columns. The first rim is of two beads; the second is dogtooth, richly moulded; the third is a hollow and a bead, with birds' heads projecting about every six inches; and the fourth is an egg and tongue latel. The church also boasts a fine Norman Font."
