St Saviour's Church, Thornthwaite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Saviour's Church is the parish church of Thornthwaite, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
Thornthwaite long lay in the parish of St Thomas a Becket's Church, Hampsthwaite. A chapel of ease was built in the village by 1409. A replacement was constructed on the same site in 1810. It was refurbished in 1893, when a porch and bellcote were added. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as a "little single cell in open country". The building was grade II listed in 1987.[1][2]
The church is built of gritstone with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one cell, and a west porch, and on the west gable is a gabled bellcote. At the west end are three two-light windows, an eaves band and a semicircular recess above. The other windows have pointed heads and Y-tracery.[1][2]
