Below is a selection of churches in Yorkshire for you to enjoy:

• Holy Trinity Goodramgate, York

Holy Trinity Goodramgate has the air of a hidden treasure. It stands in a small, secluded, leafy churchyard, with the Minster towering behind, tucked away behind Goodramgate - one of York's busiest shopping streets. To visit, you pass through an 18th-century archway tacked on to buildings that served as artisans' workshops in the 14th century.

• Christ the Consoler, Newby Hall

With its colourful and vibrant interior, this Victorian church seems the very celebration of life, yet it stands as a testament to tragedy. It is a memorial to Frederick Vyner who, age 23, was captured and murdered by brigands in Greece in 1870.

• All Saints, Harewood House

Nestling in the grounds of Harewood House, All Saints' dates from the 15th century. It is remarkable for six pairs of effigies, dating from 1419 to 1510, commemorating the owners of Harewood and the nearby Gawthorpe estate. They are some of the greatest surviving examples of alabaster carving - virtually without rival in England - and offer a fascinating glimpse into the amour, robes, jewellery and headdresses of the day.

• St. Stephens Old Church, Robin Hoods Bay

Likened to an old mariner gazing out to sea, St Stephen's stands majestically on the hillside between Whitby and Ravenscar, overlooking Robin Hood's Bay. Built in 1821, its appearance can be severe but the church resonates with the history of a resilient North Sea fishing community.

• Holy Trinity Old Church, Wentworth

This atmospheric, partly ruined building started life as a church in the 15th century but was converted to a mausoleum in 1877 after a new church was commissioned. Today, only the chancel and north chapel remain intact.

• Holy Trinity Church, Wensley

Built on 8th-century Saxon foundations, this 13th-century church sits on the bank of the river Ure at the eastern end of picturesque Wensleydale. Inside, its rich history is all around, with good examples of Medieval wall paintings, fine Flemish brasses and a 15th-century reliquary, which is claimed to have once held the relics of St Agatha.

• Lead, St Mary

Since being rescued by a group of walkers in 1931, St Mary's has been known as the Ramblers' Church. The repairs made then are recorded on the back of the church door. The church stands alone in the middle of a field filled with the bumps and furrows of earthworks that indicate the site of a Medieval manor house, for which St Mary's was probably originally the chapel.

• Roecliffe, St Mary

Set near a beautiful village green, this unusual barrel-vaulted neo-Norman church has many interesting furnishings including a Jacobean pulpit, a 17th-century communion table and a vestry door from York Minster. This church is one of 340 cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust - the national charity protecting historic churches at risk.

• All Souls, Halifax

This Halifax landmark is one of most magnificent buildings designed by architect Sir George Gilbert Scott and paid for by Edward Akroyd, a Halifax manufacturer. Scott thought it his best church but he still lamented it was not grander still. Completed in 1859, it has a 72-metre-high spire and dazzling stained glass created by Victorian master craftsmen.

• York Minster has traces of every age from the Roman occupation of York and is the largest Gothic Cathedral north of the Alps. 
• Beverley Minster, the tomb attracted pilgrims from far and wide. 
• Ripon Cathedral is a wonderfully atmospheric building that inspired the likes of Lewis Carroll and Wilfred Owen. 
• St Hildas Church in Ampleforth is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. 
• St John the Evangelist, Denby.  Denby was a Danish settlement dating back to the 9th century and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. 
• The Church of St Michael & All Angels at Barton-le-Street - described by Pevsner as 'A sumptuous small Norman church, rebuilt without any restraint'.
• Rotherham Minster - The Parish Church has stood at the centre of the town for over a thousand years. Beginning as a small Saxon church sometime around the tenth century and then devloping via a larger Norman structure to the present perpendicular church that has graced the town centre since the fifteenth century. Perpendicular in style and cruciform in shape the church was granted Minster status in 2004.
• Leeds Parish Church is a Grade I listed Victorian building and at its opening in 1841 it was the largest Church to have been built in England after St Paul's Cathedral.
• Bradford Cathedral: Bradford's beautiful Cathedral is a hidden jewel waiting to be discovered. Set in tranquil gardens where once battle raged, the Cathedral is alive with a sense of story from its 13 centuries at the heart of Bradford
