2025: "All Saints' Church is the parish church of Bolton Percy, in North Yorkshire in England.
There was a church in Bolton Percy at the time of the Domesday Book. The current church was built while Thomas Percy was rector, and it was consecrated on 8 July 1424 by Nicholas Warte, the Bishop of Dromore. The east window of the church was restored in 1866 by William Warrington, and the whole building was restored in 1890 by James Demaine and Walter Brierley, and in 1905 by John Bilson. The building was Grade I listed in 1967.[1] It was again re-roofed in 2016, using a grant from the National Churches Trust.[2] Given the size and quality of the building, it is locally nicknamed the "Cathedral of the Ainsty".[3]
The church is built of Magnesian Limestone and is roofed with stone slates. There is a west tower, a four-bay nave with aisles and a south porch, and then a three-bay chancel with a vestry on the north side.[1] The tower has three stages; in 1844, it was recorded as having a fourth stage of later date, which has since been removed.[1][4] It is supported with buttresses and is now topped by battlements. Most of the windows have three lights and are Perpendicular in style, with the East window having five lights.[1] There are 14 stained glass windows, with the East and Millennium windows of most note.[2]Inside, there is a pointed arch opening to the tower, and octagonal piers supporting the arcades. The font is Norman, with a Jacobean cover. There is a prayer desk of the same period, and a pulpit from the era of Charles II. There is also a sedilia with three gables, and a piscina with a carved angel at its base. There is a Mediaeval floor slab dedicated to Elizabeth Ryther, and several 17th century memorials, including a Baroque wall monument dedicated to Ferdinando Fairfax, 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron.[1] The interior has oak box pews which are also Jacobean.[2] "
