Second time visiting this beautiful church. The bell tower is now fully renovated. It looks amazing. Met some really lovely people.in the church getting ready for an event. No doubt we will come again 😀 here was the first review: Beautiful church very peaceful and interesting. Just came across it during our walk and happy to have spent some time there. It is being renovated outside at the moment
The his has recently had a make over on the tower I like it , others not so keen, but if your in the area do pop in.
A beautiful church set in the village of Askrigg, a hidden gem ! Recently got married in the church by a legend of a vicar, total diamond. I have met a few vicars on my travels, then met Dave, AWSOME, truly AWSOME. Modern member of the clergy who draws you in with his passion for his boss and his light hearted way approach to life.
I cannot praise this fabulous church enough..peaceful, spiritual, friendly congregation and a vicar who has the hand of God on his shoulder. Thankyou all SO much.
A beautiful peaceful place. The small food bank they have for local people who need help is such a wonderful idea.
