Church of Christ the Consoler, Gothic Revival church building in Skelton on Ure, England.
The Church of Christ the Consoler features grey stone walls, a clerestory, and a tower with a spire including Norman Gothic pyramidal corner pinnacles.
Lady Mary Vyner commissioned architect William Burges to construct this memorial church in 1871 using ransom funds collected for her murdered son Frederick.
The interior displays intricate marble carvings, stained glass windows designed by H. W. Lonsdale, and a sculptural work depicting the Ascension above the chancel arch.
The church opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, with steps at the entrance and a heavy main door that might require assistance to open.
The decorated organ case and wooden Gothic font cover, crafted by John Walden, showcase detailed carvings representing the baptism of Christ.
