St Mary's Church, Masham

Jan 3rd, 2023

Listed in the 1000 best churches in England you can see why. Intense detail on the crypts, airy and perfectly placed in Masham itself.

Lovely, grand old church which is Norman and medieval, standing in the village of Masham. There is also the remaining pillar of a 9th century Anglo-Saxon sandstone cross just outside the porch. The cross is Grade 2 listed and used to be called the Paulinus Cross. It is decorated with early Christian carvings which are somewhat weathered. The church's spire had to be rebuilt in 1855 after it had been struck by lightning. The tower is Norman, the body of the church 14th century, and the South porch Tudor. The painting, "The Angel In Contemplation" is reputed to be a Joshua Reynolds. There is some fabulous stained glass in this church, including Glenn Carter's Masham Millennium Window.

Lovely church and grounds. A focal point when walking around and approaching Masham on foot.
