St Gregory's Minster, Anglo-Saxon church in Kirkdale, England

St Gregory's Minster stands alongside Hodge Beck in Kirkby Mills, featuring stone crosses integrated into its walls and Anglo-Saxon architectural elements throughout the structure.

The church underwent reconstruction between 1055 and 1065 under Orm son of Gamal during the reign of Edward the Confessor and Earl Tostig of Northumbria.

The religious structure houses two early Anglo-Saxon grave covers in the nave, along with various cross-slab fragments that demonstrate medieval burial practices.

The church remains open during daylight hours, with volunteer stewards available to provide information about the building and its historical features to visitors.

An 11th-century Anglo-Saxon sundial above the south door contains an Old English inscription describing the church's reconstruction by Orm son of Gamal.
