All Saints Church, Sherburn-in-Elmet

The church itself is unusually large for a village parish church and dates from around 1120, with Norman pillars and a later-built large tower housing a ring of 8 bells. It was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The Battle of Towton was fought nearby in 1461 and local legend tells that King Edward IV used the church tower as a point for surveying the battle lines. On a clear day you can see York minster from here, the Church it's self is on the pinnacle point of Sherburn-in Elmet and it can be seen for miles.
