St Nicholas' Church, Askham Bryan

The church, in 2015

St Nicholas' Church is the parish church of Askham Bryan, near York in England, and is a Grade I listed building.

The church was constructed in the 12th-century, while the parish was in the possession of William de Tykhill. It is in the Norman style, constructed with a mixture of limestone ashlar, sandstone rubble, and some reused Roman bricks. The nave and chancel form a single space, while there is a porch to the south, and a vestry to the north. There is a single round-arched window at the west end, and three smaller similar windows in each of the north and south walls, and also in the east end, which has a round window above.^[1][2][3]

The roof is tiled, with a belfry on top, added in 1611, and a cross atop that. The porch has a triple round-headed archway, with zig-zag and small leaf mouldings. Inside there is a Jacobean pulpit and communion rail.^[1][4]
