Church of St Mary, Scawton
Heritage Open Day: The church was built in 1146 by the cistercian monks who later built Byland Abbey, and is structurally unchanged. It lies in the attractive hamlet of Scawton in idyllic Upper Ryedale. St Mary's is Grade I listed, and has many historical features. St Mary's church sits in the centre of Scawton (meaning 'farm in the hollow'), east of Sutton Bank, in a scenic rural setting. It was built for Hugh de Malebisse, steward for the famous De Mowbray family of Thirsk and his retainers. Its font came from Old Byland in 1146 and has been used for baptisms by 31 generations of villagers. Behind the 16th century altar is the stone original - a great rarity, since these were banned in the Reformation. The piscina is of early 13th century workmanship.
