All Saints' Church, Appleton-le-Street

The church was originally built in the early 11th century, from which period the tower survives.

The chancel was shortened in the late 15th century, since when, the only structural change has been the addition of a north porch.

It consists of a west tower, two-bay nave with aisles, and a chancel.

The tower has three stages, with a round-arched window, paired bell openings to the second and third stages, a north door with carvings in the surround, and a damaged sculpture of the Virgin and Child above.

[2] Inside the church, there is an aumbry and a rough piscina, a 12th-century font with an octagonal 17th-century cover, and an altar table and rails dating from 1637.
