Church of St Helen, Medieval church in Bilton-in-Ainsty, England.
The Church of St Helen features Norman pillars in side aisles, a square chancel with carved zigzag arch, and Saxon-style windows in the west gable.
The church, constructed around 1150 by the Haget family, served as a military hospital for casualties from the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644.
The church contains a 10th-century Saxon wheel head cross mounted on the west wall, displaying crucified Christ figures on each of its arms.
Located at the intersection of Church Lane and B1224, the Grade I listed building stands 5 miles east of Wetherby and 8 miles west of York.
The church houses a late 13th-century female effigy of Lady Alice Vavasour, distinguished by her unusual hair arrangement and period-specific clothing.
