St Thomas' Church, Osbaldwick

[1][2] The church was heavily restored by John Oldrid Scott in 1877.

He also relocated the 12th century south door to the east side of the transept.

[1][2] In 2005, the church was reordered, with the addition of a kitchen, and the replacement of the pews with chairs.

[3] Mary Ward, founder of the Congregation of Jesus, is buried in the churchyard.

Her gravestone, now in the church's south wall, is inscribed: "To love the poore, persever in the same, live, dy and rise with them was all the ayme of Mary Ward who having lived 60 years and 8 days dyed the 20th of Jan 1641".
