The tower, lychgate and village War Memorial.
All Saints Church, Raughton Head

Formerly a Chapel of Ease in the Parish of Castle Sowerby, the chapel was rebuilt and consecrated on 21 July 1678 by Bishop Rainbow.
The Church was restored in 1760 and again in 1881, when the gallery was removed, the tower built, the pews altered to their present position and an organ installed. A lychgate was erected in 1884, while the rood screen dates from 1912. On All Saints’ Day 1936, the Church (which previously had no name) was dedicated to All Saints by Bishop Williams.
The Church is open daily and donations are welcome. There is no Guide Book.

War Memorials

War memorials were mainly constructed after WWI to commemorate the troops who gave their lives in the war. Many were then updated after WWII. Some war memorials date back to the Boer War. Almost every town and village in Britain has a War Memorial. They take many forms, the commonest being an obelisk, a cross or statue of a soldier. Some commemorate the inhabitants of a place, some are for schools and others are for companies or Military groupings.
Many memorials are grade II listed, 61 are II* listed, LinkExternal link*_listed_war_memorials_in_England
