- Stainburn, North Yorkshire (St Mary's Church)
This enchanting Norman church, with a stone roof and grey sandstone walls, has fine views over Wharfedale.
The church seems to have grown out of the harsh land on which it stands. Except for a porch, bell-cote and vestry, its original Norman shape and many original features are retained.
The splendid chancel arch, some of the windows and the well-carved font are all Norman; the roof is late Medieval and the robust oak pews are from about 1600.
Restoration has been minimal, leaving this as an enchanting place of great antiquity.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
