St Andrew's Church, Bishopthorpe

It was designed by C. Hodgson Fowler, and work started in February 1898.

In December, the Archbishop of York ascended scaffolding to affix a cross to the gable end of the roof.

The construction cost £5,893, more than budgeted, which meant that more fundraising was required before a tower could be added.

Ultimately, the archbishop personally paid for a tower, which was constructed in 1903.

There is a tower at the west end, with three stages, diagonal buttresses, and battlements.
