- 1. St Ricarius, Aberford, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church The old church, described by Sir Stephen Glynne as 'only a nave and chancel with western tower and spire...', with the exception of the tower was demolished in 1861, and rebuilt by Salvin (who also worked at Sherburn-in-Elmet) in 1861-2 and 1891. Photographs were taken in 1946 of photographs that had been taken during the demolition (Ryder reproduces three of these (plates 33, 148, 149)). The tower still has a few original (very worn) corbels and there is a small Norman window reset in the N wall of the chancel.
- 2. St John the Baptist, Adel, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
-
-
Parish church The church has a rectangular nave and chancel, with a bellcote of 1839 above the W gable. There are square, traceried windows on the S side and the E wall has been rebuilt, but otherwise the whole is substantially 12thc. For 19thc. works, including restoration in 1879 by Street, see Draper (1908). The church is built in local sandstone and stands in a large churchyard overlooking suburban Leeds on one side and fields and woodland on the other.
- 3. St Nicholas, Askham Bryan, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church Single cell substantially 12thc. church of rubble masonry, with a plain round-headed S doorway to chancel. The original decorated S doorway was reset as part of 19thc. restoration work, and now forms the entrance to the 19thc. porch. The E end of the church has three small, narrow windows with arcuated lintels and above this is a small mandorla-shaped oculus.
- 4. St Mary, Askham Richard, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church Single-cell church, of rubble masonry, restored in 1878-9, at which time a chancel arch, vestry and porch were added and the W wall brought into alignment (Borthwick Institute, Faculty papers). Surviving 12thc. features are the S doorway to the nave and the plain S doorway to the chancel. The exterior vestry doorway is thought to incorporate material from the original porch. Romanesque sculpture is found on the S doorway to the nave and on a loose fragment inside the church.
- 5. St Mary the Virgin, Badsworth, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church Overtly Dec. and Perp., this church has two reset fragments which are evidence for a 12thc. church. Faculties at the Borthwick Institute for alterations to church in 1877 and 1902.
- 6. All Hallows, Bardsey, Yorkshire, West Riding, England

Parish church 'Nowhere in the neighbourhood of Leeds can the archaeological growth of a parish church be better studied, with the survivals in situ, in spite of some destruction, from pre-Conquest days to the later middle ages and beyond, than at Bardsey' (Kirk, 1937). The church consists of a W tower of Anglo-Saxon date including belfry level windows, an originally Anglo-Saxon nave with Norman N and S arcades, chancel and tower arches cut into it and 14thc. N and S aisles and chancel. The 12thc. doorway was reset on the new S wall in the 14thc. and the W end of the Norman aisles are marked by the surviving simple windows adjacent to the tower. According to Kirk, restoration in 1909-1914 uncovered these windows and lowered the nave floor. It probably also accounted for the retooling of various features. Sculpture is found on the S doorway, capitals of arcades and various fragments.
- 7. St Mary the Virgin, Beeston, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church Beeston is a parish about 3 km from the centre of Leeds. The church was rebuilt in the 19thc. (chancel, 1877, nave 1885-86 by C. H. Thornton). Ryder (1993, p. 33) says 'a Norman doorway of sorts in the vestry [ ... ] but this is simply made up of various 12thc. architectural fragments discovered in a 19thc. rebuilding.' Kirk says: 'The oldest surviving feature is the inner arch of the outer dorway of the vestry. This arch consists of ten worked stones which were removed from the walls of the old chapel at its demolition in 1885' and says these stones are probably from more than one arch, and of c.1130.
- 8. St Helen, Bilton in Ainsty, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
-
-
Parish church A basically 12thc. church with nave, chancel, N and S aisles, S chapel and N vestry, NW tower but a double bell-cote over the W gable. Restored 1869-70 by Sir G. G. Scott. His post-restoration plan is hung in the church near the S door. A view of the church seen from the S, c.1850, is hung near the blocked N door (no details of artist or source). Romanesque sculpture is found on the S entrance to the porch; the chancel corbel table (most of which is enclosed by later aisles); the chancel arch; capitals of the N and S arcades.
- 9. St Peter, Birstall, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church Birstall church stands in a large churchyard on sloping ground. That there was a good late medieval church is witnessed by the preserved carved pew-ends kept in the church. It was completely rebuilt 1863-70 except for the W tower, the lower part of which is 12thc. and much restored (Ryder 1993). That has small windows to N and S. In all parts the fabric is of yellowish gritstone. The tower arch is recut but probably the old build. Otherwise, our period is represented by fragments. There is most of a grave-marker or small coffin lid with lozenge pattern and a patterned font, which has been broken in two.
- 10. All Saints, Bolton Percy, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church The present church is a large structure consecrated in 1424, presumably replacinng an earlier building. Apart from the font, only fragments survive from the 12thc. church. These are at present loose on a table inside the church.
- 11. St James, Boroughbridge, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
-
-
Parish church St James's church dates from 1852. Its Romanesque material comprises a number of sculptured stones brought here from the demolished medieval church of the same name, which was located in what is now St James's Square in the centre of the town. The pieces have been reset in the N wall of the vestry.
- 12. St Helen, Burghwallis, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church An attractive church with many interesting features. Pevsner says its nave has 'excessive use of herringbone masonry; cf. Kippax'. Restored 1883-85, J. L. Pearson. Norman W tower unbuttressed. Windows in tower plain and simple. Herringbone walling, e.g. on Nave S wall. Font might be represented by a few inches of the rim of the present font.
- 13. St Wilfrid, Burnsall, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
-
-
Parish church The church is adjacent to the River Wharfe and bridge. It is basically Perpendicular, with W tower, aisled nave and chancel, and was restored in the 1850s. Although there is no notable 12thc. fabric in place, there are items remaining from the period, namely a window-head, a corbel, the font and parts of four grave slabs, which suggest an early post-Conquest stone structure. The aisles were added in the second quarter of the 13thc. The church has a good collection of pre-Conquest sculpture, which has recently been arranged in a permanent exhibition (see Coatsworth, Wood & Butler 2005).
- 14. All Saints, Bramham, Yorkshire, West Riding, England
-
-
Parish church The church, of local limestone, stands on a knoll in the middle of the village within an irregular layout of streets and surrounded by a large churchyard. The building has or had a 12thc. nave, W tower and N aisle, and an Early English S aisle as well as an extended 13thc. chancel. Restoration in 1853 included the removal of a W gallery and the insertion of an imitation tower arch, which was wider than before, and a font in Norman style. The round-headed W doorway in the tower was removed. (For all this, see Borthwick Institute Faculty papers 1853/2. Kirk (1936) reproduces plans and elevations from Faculty papers.) Further work was necessary after a fire in the tower in 1874. This meant the provision of new 'Norman' windows, and long stones being inserted across the face of the tower to bond it. Sculpture is in corbels on tower, N arcade, tower arch (spurious) and a loose slab.
- 15. All Saints, Thorp Arch, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
-
-
Parish church Church 'mostly by G. E. Street 1871-2' (Pevsner, p. 513). Plans of the church pre- restoration in the Borthwick Institute show a west tower with doorway and arch to nave, a narrow nave without any doorway, and a rectangular chancel, with doorway on S wall; a N arcade to the nave with sections of wall at the W and E respond, indicating the arcade was inserted into the first N wall. Of the original plan, the tower, nave S wall. Chancel S wall, E wall and part of N wall still form part of the church. However, no sculpture survives in situ. 12thc pieces are now all in S porch. The fragments are of a variety of stone, and not all have worn well.
