This pleasant small church stands on a shady lane, beside open fields. We do not know when the first church was established at Catwick, but there was a Saxon building here before the Domesday Book

The wonderfully named village of Cherry Burton enters history through the descriptive talents of the Venerable Bede, who relates that St John of Beverley performed a miracle at a place most historians associate with this location. Around AD 686 AD a nobleman by the name of Earl Addi called on John to consecrate his new church at North Burton (though there are numerous 'Burtons' in the area, North Burton is thought by many to be the current Cherry Burton).

The 13th-century church at Coverham stands in a superb setting on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, near the River Cover which gave its name to the village and to the valley of Coverdale. Holy Trinity stands above the site of the 12th Premonstratensian Abbey at Coverham.

The tiny church of Cowlam stands in a farmyard, far from what is left of its former village. The village itself was depopulated gradually over the centuries until all that is left today is a few farms and clustered houses at the nearby Cowlam Grange crossroads.

Built sometime around 1456 for Sir Bryan Roucliffe, this Perpendicular church has remained largely unaltered since the 15th century despite a sensive Victorian restoration. The most immediately striking feature of St Michael's is the tall embattled tower, which looks more like a castle fortification than a religious symbol. The style of the tower is reminiscent of military gatehouse construction in the 15th century.

I think the word 'idyllic' was invented for Crambe. The little village is tucked away on a hidden slope above the River Derwent, not far from the historic ruins of Kirkham Priory. The parish church of St Michael's is a very simple building dating to the 11th century with a 13th-century extension and a lovely 15th century west tower.

You can't go much further south on the Holderness peninsula than Easington (if you do, you'll get wet). The church dates to the Norman period, with a 12th-century north aisle and 13th-century south aisle. There are a 14th-century clerestory and west tower, and a 15th century chancel.
