Yorkshire Churches Day - churches on the Sykes Trail - St Andrew's Weaverthorpe

Sir Tatton Sykes, 5th baronet (1826-1913) of Sledmere succeeded to his 36,000 acre estate in the East Riding of Yorkshire in 1863. He continued the work of his father, the 4th baronet, who had begun to restore the churches of the Yorkshire Wolds. Between 1866 and his death in 1913, Tatton Sykes restored 17 rural churches, working with some of the leading church architects, including G.E. Street, Temple Moore and C. Hodgson Fowler and ecclesiastical artists of the day.

We invite you to start at St. Andrew’s Weaverthorpe (YO17 8ES). Set high above the village alongside the earthworks of the medieval manor house is a beautiful Norman church restored for Tatton Sykes by G.E. Street. Highlights include a 12th century sundial over the entrance, decorated barrel vault roof and lavish Victorian furnishings, with stained glass by Clayton & Bell. Coffee and cake will be available in the morning, and the "golden gates" into the chancel will be opened up so visitors can see the chancel furnishings up close. Three further churches can be visited on the trail, full details can be found on the YHCT website on the Yorkshire Churches Day page
