Church of St Mary the Virgin, Norman parish church in Hornby, England
The Church of St Mary the Virgin features a tower with three distinct stages, substantial stone walls, and rounded arches characteristic of Norman architecture.
Built around 1080, the church received modifications in 1413 under John Conyers and underwent extensive refurbishment in 1877 led by the Duchess of Leeds.
The church maintains its role as a central religious institution in Lower Wensleydale, connecting six parishes through shared worship and community gatherings.
Located 6 miles southeast of Richmond and 5 miles north of Bedale, the church welcomes visitors interested in exploring medieval ecclesiastical architecture.
The graveyard contains five Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial plots, with four dedicated to victims of the 1944 Catterick Bridge Explosion.
