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. |
