Britain's What's On Event Guide
Rudston Church and Ancient Monolith
Heritage Open Day: The Church of All Saints sits on a small hill on the line of the Roman road from York to Sewerby. The oldest part of the Church is the tower which is Norman and dates from 1100. It was built by William Peverel, who was lord of the manor. The Font is also Norman and has a diapered pattern of Circles and crosses. The Church was enlarged in the 13th century by adding south and north aisles. The pillars in the Nave are Early English in style. There are a number of memorials and interesting windows, which are largely from the 20th century, as the originals were destroyed by a land mine. The author, Winifred Holtby, was born in Rudston and is buried in the Churchyard.
The Monolith, which is the tallest standing stone in Britain, has been here for over 4000 years.
