The Devil's Arrows are three aligned standing stones. The standing stone alignment consists of some of the tallest standing stones in the United Kingdom. Erected during the Stone Age and distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, the tallest southernmost stone is 22.5 feet (6.85 m) in height, making this the second tallest menhir in the United Kingdom.

In the search for a worthy patronage for this church, the initial choice was the Archangel Michael, whose name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" However, it was then decided that it could not hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors at God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just one patron saint, but to expand the patronage to include the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

A perfect place to sit and and have a rest in a beautiful North Yorkshire village.

Please note that at the time of writing this bridge is closed to all traffic including cyclists.
