Heritage Open Days at Kirk Sandall

Dating back to Saxon times.

St Oswald's, in its spacious and peaceful churchyard, has great charm and interest. Saxon work is evident although the church is mainly Norman.

It has thirteenth-century arcades, a west window from the early fourteenth century and, finest of all, a sixteenth-century chapel with a notable monument to William Rokeby, once a rector at St Oswald's.

There are also some other memorials and some interesting glass and two beautifully carved screens.

A feature of the weekend will be a display of local history photographs dating back to the early 1900's.

Knowledgeable guides will be on hand to tell the stories of church and communities.

Open Saturday 9th September and Sunday 10th September from 12 noon to 4pm
