Church of Saint Oswald, Grade I listed church in Askrigg, United Kingdom

The Church of Saint Oswald features a battlemented tower with pinnacles, a five-bay chancel, nave, aisles, and a south porch built in Perpendicular style.

The construction of the current church structure began in 1466, although the site has been a place of Christian worship since the twelfth century.

Trinity College Cambridge received the responsibility to appoint priests for the church following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors, offering accessible facilities and street parking near the Market Place of Askrigg.

The church bells, recast in 1897 by John Warner & Sons, include a tenor bell weighing 10 hundredweight and original pieces dating from 1657.
