The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St Oswald (formerly)
Parish church
Farnham, Yorkshire, is a village 2 miles N of Knaresborough. The church is large for a village, built in a fine sandstone which is grey for the tower but goldish in the remainder. There is a nave with aisles, porch, tower included within the nave, and a rarity, a late twelfth-century chancel. Church restored by G. G. Scott, 1854 (Pevsner (1967), 195-6; Leach and Pevsner )2009), 248; see also Lunn (1870), 35ff, with plan p.41). Sculptured items include the shafted capitals of the nine chancel windows inside and several interesting external features.
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.
