13. Kirkbymoorside Town - part 2 - the All Saints Church and Butter Cross
The medieval in origin All Saint's Church, Kirkbymoorside. The tower is mainly late 18th century and though there is much medieval work in the rest of the structure it was restored and partly rebuilt by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1873-1875.
The massive porch is in the English perpendicular style.
The 'Butter Cross' by All Saints Church in the street called "The Shambles" (as in York, the street of the butchers).
Not sure if the so-called 'Butter Cross' was the original market cross? Note: Kirkbymoorside has in the past been written as Kirkby Moorside. |
