Methley St Oswald's Church

Heritage Open Day: A fine Early English church with Grade I listing, mainly for the Lady Chapel with its stunning collection of funerary sculpture comemorating the Waterton and Savile families, Ministers at Court. Glorious stained glass from C15 to early C20. A Saxon church on this site is recorded in the Doomsday Book.. The nave dates from C12 with a tower and a South aisle added in C14. Bare stone walls give it a simple grandeur. The Waterton Chapel was endowed by and commemorates Sir Robert and Lady Waterton in alabaster efigies under an imposing arch. His son-in-law Lionel Lord Welles fell at the Battle of Towton and has a matching memorial.
