Church Of St Michael And All Angels

The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a Grade II* listed building located on Linton Church Road. It dates back to the 12th century, with extensions from the 14th and 15th centuries, and was restored in 1861 by John Varley of Skipton. The church is constructed from squared blocks and rubblestone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof.

It features a four-bay nave, a short square west bellcote, and both north and south aisles, along with a three-bay chancel that also has north and south aisles. The structure is supported by buttresses with offsets on all sides. The south porch, added in 1861, is designed in the Gothic style and includes three square-headed windows in the south aisle with paired trefoil lights. The nave has four clerestory windows, also with paired trefoil lights, restored in 1861. The bellcote is made of ashlar and consists of two tiers of three corbels, a cornice, and paired moulded segmental-arched belfry windows beneath a pyramidal roof topped with a cross finial.

The west end of the church features a three-light window with curvilinear tracery, while the south aisle has a Y-tracery window. The chancel includes a south aisle doorway and three windows, all restored in 1861 in the Gothic style. The east window has three lights beneath a trefoil, set under a deep pointed-arched hoodmould, also restored.

Inside, there are two circular piers at the east end of the north nave aisle, supporting a round-arched arcade. The remaining piers are octagonal, with two in the north aisle, four in the south aisle, and two in the chancel, all featuring double-chamfered pointed arches. The chancel arch is pointed and rests on Norman-style imposts. The church has a cylindrical font, and most of the remaining fittings date from the 1861 restoration.
