All Saints' Church, Hovingham

The tower has three stages, and contains a round-arched west doorway with free-standing shafts and four orders.

Above are string courses, a 9th-century carved cross, a round-headed window and slit windows in the middle stage, and above are narrow double bell openings, a 10th-century wheel cross, an east clock face, and a corbel table.

[2][3] Inside, the reredos is a stone slab carved in about 800, but very worn from previously having been set in the south wall of the tower.

It depicts eight human figures under an arcade, with a plant scroll at the bottom, incorporating carvings of birds.

It is described by the Corpus of Anglo Saxon Stone Sculpture as one of the "most complex and ambitious" carvings of its period in the area, and possessing an "ease and delicacy".
