Lovely little church in the attractive village of East Witton. Grade 2 listed building dating from early 1800's. Limited road parking. Set in well kept, tidy grounds. Gate has an ancient and unusual latch. The pulpit dates from 1947 and is a Mousie Thompson, the Mouseman of Thirsk. Always a childish thrill, hunting out and finding his characterful meeces in these old churches. This pulpit mouse is an obvious, easily spotted one. Some attractive tile work on the altar.
