This is a proper countryside, English church, marked on the street indeed as "Historic Church". It is over 900 years old (Norman) and was built on the site of a previous wooden Saxon church. It is a Grade-II listed building, and is the oldest building in the village of Oswaldkirk by more than 600 years.

Definitely worth stopping here on your ride - there is a little path into the churchyard here where you can safely put your bike. The church is well-maintained inside and the views from the churchyard towards the east towards Caulkleys Bank, over Ryedale, are fabulous. You should be able to make out the Stonegrave Minster in the distance, and there are always Yorkshire Wolds on the horizon.
