The historic county of Yorkshire, is the largest county in England,
with 157 Grade I listed churches alone in the whole county. This
book will cover a cross section of churches throughout the northern
half of Yorkshire, both well-known and those waiting to be
discovered by a wider audience, covering a wide range of styles
through the centuries. It covers a huge diversity of places and
landscapes, and its churches reflect this variety as well as
representing the history of this section of Yorkshire. Some of the
mediaeval churches reflect the wealth of their local area at the
time, often from trade or monasteries nearby, or the importance of
the local town or city, but others served more remote communities
and still stand out in the landscape today. Later centuries also
made their mark on Yorkshire churches, both in their structures and
furnishings, from Georgian simplicity to often spectacular
Victorian and twentieth century architecture in and design in
Yorkshire’s industrialised towns and cities. In Churches of
Northern Yorkshire, author David Paul explores a cross-section of
historical churches throughout the county, both the well known and
those waiting to be discovered by a wider audience. This
fascinating picture of an important part of the history of the
northern half of Yorkshire over the centuries will be of interest
to all those who live in or are visiting this splendid county in
England.
