St Mary's church overlooks the River Greta, in an area of marvellous scenic beauty. Inside the mainly Victorian church is a Norman font, which was discovered taking a centuries-long bath in the river about a hundred years ago. It was brought back into the dry church interior and hopefully will be around to enjoy in another 8oo years!

All Saints church in Kilham is a large building with a tall west tower. The church dates to the Norman period and the interior incorporates styles from Norman to Georgian. The most interesting historic feature of the church is to be found outside, however, in the shape of a wonderful Norman south doorway, composed of fully 7 orders decorated with traditional Norman chevron patterns.

All Saints church at Kilnwick dates to the 12th century, though it was subsequently much altered in the 13th and 17th centuries and again in 1871. From that first Norman church comes the north doorway, decorated with traditional Norman beakhead ornamentation.

The first church here dates to the Saxon period, and the current building retains bits of that early church and the subsequent Norman church. Most of St Andrew's is distinctly Victorian, however, the result of a lavish rebuilding by GE Street for Sir Tatton Sykes II beginning in 1872.

The church of All Saints at Kirby Underdale sits on the slope of a steep hill looking out over the western fringe of the Yorkshire Wolds. It is a stunningly pretty location, seemingly lost in its own forgotten world.

There was a church at Kirk Sandall (formerly Sandall Parva) as early as the 10th century. Some bits of that Saxon church remain, incorporated in the mainly Norman building we see today. Look for traditional Saxon herringbone stonework in the west gable.

The tiny village of Kirkburn lies just south of Driffield, off the road south to Beverley. The church of St Mary dates to the 12th century and is one of the many churches in this area of the Wolds to be rebuilt by JL Pearson for Sir Tatton Sykes. St Mary's boasts some wonderful Norman work, including the south doorway, chancel arch, and carved font.

A tiny rectangular 14th-century church incorporating bits of an earlier building. Lead Church may have been built as a chapel for medieval Lead Hall (now vanished). This simple building is only about 18 feet long and stands alone in the middle of a farm field, surrounded by visible earthwork remains which may indicate the location of the Hall.

A rare Jacobean town church, built between 1632 and 1634, St John's is the oldest church still standing in central Leeds. It is rare to find any churches built during the immediate pre-Civil War era. The entire cost of the church was financed by John Harrison, a local wool merchant. Harrison was also responsible for founding almshouses and a grammar school in the area.
