Parish Church of St Ricarius Or St Riquier, Parish church in Aberford, England
The church features a west tower with an octagonal spire, constructed from magnesian limestone and includes north and south aisles with a traditional porch.
The structure underwent reconstruction in 1861 under architect Anthony Salvin, while maintaining elements of the original Norman tower and a Norman window.
The church carries the name of Saint Riquier, a French religious figure who reportedly visited Aberford during his travels in the year 630.
The building contains a four-bay arcade system with double-chamfered arches, cylindrical columns, and includes separate areas for the chancel and vestry.
A former market cross from the 17th century stands at the south gate, relocated to this spot in 1911 to mark King George V's coronation.
