This 19th-century church is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture, featuring a striking combination of red sandstone and limestone in its construction. The building's exterior is adorned with intricate carvings, statues, and ornate stone finials, while its interior boasts an impressive vaulted ceiling, beautiful stained-glass windows, and a striking marble altar.
William Burges building. No expense spared on this 1870s memorial church
This Church is within the grounds of Newby Hall and was built by Lady Mary Vyner as a memorial church to her son murdered by brigands in Greece. The Church is currently under the care of the Churches Conversation Trust. There is parking very near the church but it is at the end of a one way system Newby Hall operates so even though close to the entrance, you have to take the couple of mile route to the exit to get out. It is probably best to visit on your way in. The church, outside and inside, is well maintained.
Beautiful
Absolutely stunning! If you are in the area.
A real gem to visit when in the area, on the drive down to Newby Hall. Open during daylight. Built in memory of a lost child who had been taken hostage in a foreign land then murdered when the ransom was ready. A well known architect of the day. Grandiose Victorian not what you would expect from a private church. Occasional service (tourist one in summer) and occasional weddings and funerals otherwise it sits there empty waiting for a visit.
Set in the grounds of Newby Hall, the first thing you will say when you open the door is wow! Each window is full of colour depicting different scenes from the Bibel. The font and font cover with wooden figures of Jesus. The ascension sculpture above the arch will have you looking up as well as the decoration around the organ. To much to mention! Its free to get to, come through the main gate and its first right, you will see it as you come along the drive. parking next to the church on grass with a gravel path to the church. It is also open all year
