The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St Michael and Our Lady (now)
Parish church
Wragby is a small village about 4 miles ESE of Wakefield. Its church is at the entrance to the grounds of Nostell Priory. The building of coursed squared sandstone consists of an aisled chancel, an aisled nave, a S porch, a W tower, and a vestry. The church was built in the 1520s-1530s, although the W end of the nave and the tower may be slightly earlier; the vestry was added in 1825. Romanesque sculpture is found on a font and a reset slab, neither of which is thought to be part of any earlier medieval church on the site.
