St Oswald's Church, Kirk Sandall, Norman church in Kirk Sandall, England.
Description
St Oswald's Church in Kirk Sandall is a limestone building with a two-bay nave, north and south aisles, and a Gothic chancel. A Perpendicular chapel and truncated west tower complete its structure.
History
The church first appears in the Domesday survey and underwent major construction in the 12th century. Further changes were made during the 14th and 16th centuries.
Culture
The Rokeby Chapel holds memorials to William Rokeby, who served as rector before becoming Archbishop of Dublin. These monuments show how this small church was connected to important religious figures of the time.
Practical
Visitors enter through a vestry door with steep steps, so careful footing is needed. The building lacks heating, running water, and modern facilities.

A cylindrical Norman font rests on a stepped base, showing fine medieval craftsmanship. Medieval cross fragments made of Magnesian Limestone remain scattered in the churchyard.
