The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St Hilda (medieval)
Parish church
Sherburn is a village about 11 miles SW of Scarborough; it is known historically as Sherburn in Harford (or Herford) Lythe and is not to be confused with Sherburn-in-Elmet (West Riding of Yorkshire). The building is quite a large church for the area and consists of an aisled nave, S porch, chancel and W tower.
Romanesque sculptural elements are found externally on the S doorway and in the simple 12thc windows located in the S wall of the tower. Inside, there is a Romanesque high chancel arch, a pillar piscina and a cylindrical font.
