This church dates back to Norman times, with some evidence of it being potentially Saxon prior to that, too. However, it was practically completely rebuilt in 1864-65.

The church has this "classic English church" feel as though it's straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. It is worth stopping here for a bit and have a rest in this peaceful place.

Hiking

The church bells were ringing for the Sunday service as we walked past along the Dales High Way. It was a tad awkward passing everyone in their 'Sunday Best' as we were in our wet, muddy clothes from five consecutive days of walking in poor weather.
