Church Of St Luke/St Mary Magdalen

The Church of St Luke and St Mary Magdalen is a building with a history spanning the 12th to 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone with a plinth, quoins, stone dressings, and a Collyweston slate roof. The church includes a west tower, a nave, aisles, a chancel, and a south porch.

The west tower is from the early 12th century, featuring three stages. It has a small west window with stained glass from 1908, a carved band, a south shafted window with zigzag decoration and a carved band, four triple arched bell openings (the central one being blocked), gargoyles (surviving only to the east), and later battlements. Inside the tower, a fine arch leads to the nave, exhibiting seven roll mouldings, decorated capitals, and responds with five shafts. A lozenge band sits over a round-arched doorway, likely associated with a former west gallery.

The north arcade has two bays with double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers and responds, and a west figure corbel, now headless. The south arcade also has two bays, with double-chamfered arches on circular piers and responds. Hood moulds and label stops are present. Three 19th-century quatrefoil clerestory windows are on the south side, and the church features a 19th-century three-bay roof with curved braces to the collars. In the north aisle, a blocked north door is visible, along with three stone mullion windows (probably late 16th/early 17th century), with 1, 3, and 2-lights respectively. Steps and an arch marking the former rood loft remain. A double-chamfered chancel arch also exists.

The chancel contains tall stone mullion windows, similar to those in the north aisle: two 1-light windows on either side and a 3-light east window. Stone benches are positioned on either side, along with a piscina. A significant wall monument, dedicated to Roger Dale (died 1623), stands on the south side. This monument is constructed from stone, alabaster, and marble, partly painted and gilded, featuring a Corinthian column aedicule, a cartouche of arms over the entablature, two arches beneath with facing kneeling statues of Dale and his wife, and a double-sided prayer desk between them. Smaller statues of two daughters are on the front of the plinth, ornamented with carved draped heads and cherubs. The chancel also has a 19th-century four-bay roof with curved braces to the collars.

The south aisle contains further stone mullion windows, one featuring panels of 17th-century painted glass, alongside a 12th-century south doorway that was altered in the 13th century. The south porch may be from the late 15th/16th century. The font, likely from the 13th century, is square with diagonal chamfers at the top, set upon a 19th-century plinth and piers. Additional 18th and early 19th-century wall monuments are present.
