St Mary’s Church, Stainburn

Fine views in a harsh landscape

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.
