The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
East Riding of Yorkshire (now)
Parish church
The Cattons, High and Low, lie a mile south of Stamford Bridge, and almost a mile apart. The church is close to the Derwent. It has an aisled nave with a tower in the westernmost bay of the S aisle, a S porch, a N transept, and a chancel by Street that stands high above the nave. There is a plan in faculty papers at the Borthwick Institute, Fac. 1908/44.
The transept survives from what was a cruciform Romanesque church. A Romanesque piscina is reset in the N wall of the vestry.
Parish church
The small church was built as a chapel of ease to Beverley Minster in 1843-4. There had been no previous church in the village: a Tickton chapel mentioned in 1414 was probably that at Hull bridge, on the west side of the river (VCHER VI, 303). Pevsner and Neave say the church has an ‘octagonal font, 1844 and the circular bowl of a medieval font, possibly Norman’ (1995, 726).
Tickton church is in the parish of Beverley Minster. It operates a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) with the Methodist church in the village; this building is used for most of the worship.
Parish church
Ruston Parva is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, 8 miles SW of Bridlington. Nothing is known of the appearance of the medieval chapel on this site. The present building is in a field above the village, and ican only be reached by traversing private land. It was constructed by a local builder around 1832 in late Georgian yellow brick on a plinth of several courses of worked medieval stone. (Pevsner and Neave, 666) Inside, there is a restored Romanesque cylindrical font.
Parish church
Hunmanby is a large village in the Scarborough district of Yorkshire, 3 miles SW of Filey. All Saints is large church at the top end of the settlement. It has chancel, nave with N aisle, porch and W tower (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 569; VCH, II 228-45). The interior has woodwork and windows of c. 1845. The nave and chancel however belonged to an aisless Norman church of the late 11th or early 12th century whose plan is still detectable. There is a buttress in the centre of the E wall of the chancel and two lengths of string course in this wall; the roof line can still be seen on the nave E wall. The S doorway has a tympanum, as does the former W doorway which is covered by the slightly later tower: the lower stages of the tower are un-buttressed. The S wall of the tower has four window openings; the W wall has, perhaps, a carved consecration cross. Inside, a simple chancel arch remains, while a plain cylindrical font, broken and no longer in use, is placed in the chancel.
Parish church
The present parish church is formed from the medieval nave of a church which had been collegiate. The ruined 14th-century chancel is of interest (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 606). Outside of it, immediately to the east of the chancel window, stands a cross which may be 12th century.
Parish church
The church of All Saints in Shiptonthorpe has a W tower, a nave with a N aisle, a S porch, and a chancel with a N chapel. It was restored by James Demaine, best seen in Borthwick Fac. 1883/86 which includes a plan and elevations (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 681).
There is a Romanesque S doorway composed of three orders and a label. A small carved panel was reset on the gable of the Victorian porch; a pre-restoration photograph shows the plaque immediately above the outer order of the doorway. Three reset stones can be seen on the S face of the tower and adjacent W wall of nave. Within the tower and acting as supports to the first floor, there are eight corbels from the first half of the 12thc (photos in Conway Library by George Zarnecki); four more corbels acting as supports for the wooden ceiling are in the nave.
Parish church
W tower built between the 14thc and the 15thc, while the remainder (nave, N aisle, chancel, vestry and S porch) is mid 19thc. The church guide notes under 'Interior' that there is a contemporary drawing of the church which shows the church before the 1853 restoration. As recorded in the church guide, there was a '12thc Norman S wall with typical small windows'. The chancel was built in 1845-6 by Chantrell, and the remainder in 1853 by Cuthbert Brodrick. The pillars of the N arcade are original, probably early 13thc. The font bowl is 12thc.
Parish church
The church has a chancel, aisled nave and west tower. It is built of boulders with ashlar dressings, 13th-century but with 12th-century masonry in the chancel (Pevsner & Neave, 727). There is herringbone masonry. Many walls in the village use cobbles in this way too.
Parish church
The church has W tower; nave with N aisle and a N transept or chapel; chancel, but no chancel arch. Entrance is by the N doorway; the S doorway is blocked at least since the improvement in the line of road to the N (now A166). There was a restoration of the N wall and tower by Temple Moore, 1896, when presumably the reset stones were discovered; and the chancel was rebuilt by Hodgson Fowler in 1901-2. Morris (1919, 326-7) does not mention the reset carved stones in the tower or N aisle, but this entry may have been repeated from his first edition. The nave S wall has two small 12thc windows, but these are much altered outside.
Two capitals from the N arcade are reset, its W respond remains; most if not all carved pieces reset in the interior N wall of the N aisle and in the tower are not corbels but are likely to be voussoirs. There is an arcaded cylindrical font.
Parish church
The tower of St Andrew is from the 15thc, while the remainder of the church was rebuilt in brick in 1768. The interior is Georgian Gothic and was moderately reordered by John Bilson in 1910. The tower has a gallery for the family at Boynton Hall; the altar is in front of the chancel, which is of about equal in length to the nave and contains memorials (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 333-4; Morris 1919). The building is similar to a Danish church, with its painted wooden pews, and coloured and gilded woodwork.
A reworked cylindrical font remains from the medieval church. Outside, there is a small cross of uncertain age, probably Romanesque, reset in a buttress of the tower.
