3. Helmsley All Saints Parish Church Part 1 -
interior

Helmsley Parish Church, a
great medieval building dating from around 1129. For a small sum of
money an excellent guide book can be purchased.

The nave of Norman arches
in Helmsley Parish Church and the north aisle murals designed by the
Rev. C.N. Gray and completed in 1909
by Mr Gast, a London artist. The murals depict the course of Christianity in the area and add beauty and
historical interest to the church.

The chancel is entered
beneath a beautiful zig-zag patterned carved Norman arch from the 12th century. It is believed to
be architecturally unique with its double cone moulding and triple bands
between each cone.
