The delightful C12th Church of St Michael and All Angels is set on a bluff above the River Wharfe at the far end of the settlement of Linton. It is surrounded by limestone walls and rich green pasture.There has been a church here since Saxon times. This was probably a timber frame wattle and daub church with a thatched roof. It was replaced by a stone building around 1150 and the north arcade with its round pillars dates from then. Over the years the church has been extended with a north aisle followed by the south aisle. Around 1350, the chancel was demolished and replaced by a new Decorated period chancel. The flat topped windows were inserted in the side aisles in the C15th, replacing the narrow lancet windows and allowing more light into the church. The clerestory was added around then. There was a major restoration in the C19th. Carved stonework from round the windows was used for the stone benches in the rebuilt south porch. The flat chancel and nave roofs were restored and replaced with wood beamed ceilings. The small belfry at the west end was rebuilt using the original stones. The Georgian fittings were removed and replaced by Victorian ones. Following the theft of lead from the roof, the church was reroofed with Yorkshire stone slate in 1982.

This place of worship, which Ken has already described well, was dedicated to the Archangel MICHAEL and all angels. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
