3. St Peter & St Paul Church, Pickering part 1 - exterior architectural details
The spire, tower and entrance of St Peter & St Paul Church, Pickering. The earlier Saxon church was replaced by the Normans and rebuilt around 1140 onwards. An excellent guidebook is available (for a £1.50 pounds in 2007), which fully describes the architectural history of the church. There are regular concerts in the church, so watch out for the advertisement posters in town
Odd bits of earlier stonework set in the wall seem to have been just used to fill in and repair walls, or just to preserve them in a useful way ???? but some of the tracery in the medieval windows is the original - but much weathered.
