Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a Grade I listed building located on Church Street in Kirkbymoorside. The church features a nave and arcades from the 13th century, with 14th and 15th-century aisles and porch. The tower was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, and the chancel was rebuilt with additions and restoration in 1874 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The structure is made of dressed limestone and sandstone on a rubble plinth, topped with a stone flag roof.

The church has a 3-bay aisled nave with a clerestory, a south porch that includes a Priest's Room above, and a chancel with a 19th-century Lady Chapel to the north and a vestry to the south. The south porch is embattled with diagonal buttresses and features a tunnel-vaulted interior, containing a round-headed door set in a segmental arch. The embattled tower has three stages, marked by string courses, and is characterized by raised quoins, diagonal buttresses, and crocketed pinnacles. It includes glazed oculi in the first and third stages, and louvred bell openings with Y-tracery in the second stage, all framed with raised, milled surrounds. The nave and aisles also have embattled roofs and feature flat- and round-headed 2-light cusped windows. The chancel's east window has intersecting tracery and is flanked by the Lady Chapel and vestry, which have 19th-century curvilinear tracery and pointed drip-moulds on corbels carved with masks.

Inside, the nave arcade consists of octagonal and cylindrical piers with octagonal abaci and arches that have one step and a slight chamfer. The roofs of the nave and aisles date from the early 15th century and are slightly cambered, featuring moulded ridges, principals, and purlins with carved bosses, including the Neville arms. A 14th-century round-headed window has been preserved and duplicated in the chancel's south wall, above a 14th-century sedilia. The Lady Chapel contains a Jacobean reredos, while the pulpit and the screen between the chapel and chancel were designed by Scott. The chancel screen was created in 1919 by Temple Moore. Additionally, the south wall of the chancel features a 17th-century brass memorial to Lady Brooke, who died in 1600.
