Description
The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed church located in Wistow, North Yorkshire. It dates from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with possible earlier origins, and features a 19th-century vestry and restoration. The church is constructed of magnesian limestone and has a roof made of red plain tiles and Welsh slate.
The structure includes a three-bay chancel, a three-bay nave with aisles, a south porch, and a west tower. The chancel has 15th-century flat-headed windows with three trefoil-headed lights, and a 14th-century five-light east window with curvilinear tracery. The nave's aisles retain 13th-century lancet windows and a west door. There is a window with Y-tracery at the east end of the south aisle and a window with cusped intersecting tracery in the north aisle, with a similar window added to the 19th-century vestry. Other windows feature Perpendicular tracery.
The west tower is a Perpendicular style and consists of three stages with stepped diagonal buttresses. The west doorway has a hood-mould adorned with two demi-figures of angels as stops, and similar hood-moulds are present on the windows and bell-openings.
Inside, the early 13th-century arcade in the south aisle is supported by short cylindrical piers, keeled responds, and double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers. A blocked doorway in the north aisle contains an 18th-century carved death's head and a painted shield. Some medieval glass can be found in the lancets of the nave aisles.
