It was founded in the 12th century by Gospatric, whose grandfather fled from the rule of William of Normandy in 1067, shortly after the Norman Conquest. The nave and apse are the surviving parts of the Norman church. The west tower, dating from 1937, was built in the Norman style to replace the original tower which collapsed in the 15th century. text/html 2012-05-16T17:17:54GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3101 Nigel Chadwick 52.872926 -4.139324 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946934 text/html 2012-05-16T17:17:54GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/25219?a=J.Hannan-Briggs J.Hannan-Briggs 53.247802 -1.849198 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946933 text/html 2012-05-16T17:16:19GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/24620 kim traynor 55.982643 -3.372673 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946932 I took the bird to be a phoenix arising to new life, i.e. a symbol of the Resurrection, but in fact it derives from the crest of the Ramsay family and adorns the grave of 'Robert Ramsay, Mason in Croishall', who died in 1773. It perches on two chisels and a mell*, both emblems of a mason, and seems to be guarding the grave against possible disturbance at a time when so-called 'resurrectionists' (body-snatchers) were a serious threat to the dead. *Scots for mallet text/html 2012-05-16T17:16:04GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/45095 Alex McGregor 55.474852 -1.719491 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946931 text/html 2012-05-16T17:15:52GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/43416 David Purchase 52.071366 -3.169599 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946930 Taken from the Wye Valley Walk, which here follows the A438 for about a kilometre. text/html 2012-05-16T17:15:00GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/25219?a=J.Hannan-Briggs J.Hannan-Briggs 53.249700 -1.857734 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946929 text/html 2012-05-16T17:14:29GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/71339 John Slater 53.540152 -1.623179 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946928 text/html 2012-05-16T17:14:12GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3101 Nigel Chadwick 52.879770 -4.143674 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946927 text/html 2012-05-16T17:13:28GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/13903 Pauline Eccles 53.840089 -1.789105 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946926 The River Aire rises at Malham Tarn and empties into the River Ouse at Airmyn. text/html 2012-05-16T17:12:29GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/25219?a=J.Hannan-Briggs J.Hannan-Briggs 53.260630 -1.913013 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946925 text/html 2012-05-16T17:12:08GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3101 Nigel Chadwick 52.876870 -4.139964 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946924 text/html 2012-05-16T17:11:57GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/43416 David Purchase 52.064077 -3.179182 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2946923 Fields on the other side of the A438, seen from the Wye Valley Walk.
