Heritage Open Day: St Mary's, in West Lutton on the B1253. This church, like St Peter's in Helperthorpe is one of the finest examples of a Sykes church. Tea, coffee and home-made cakes will be available in the morning. Built in 1872-3 as one of the great series of 17 churches built or restored by Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere, designed by the great church architect G. E. Street with no expense spared, it is full of superb 19th century craftsmanship, from the painted roofs of the nave and aisles, the superb series of stained-glass windows (made in 1891 by Burlison and Grylls) to the ornately tiled floor, beautifully worked chancel gates and the reredos behind the altar.
It sits at the centre of the village and is still central to village life.
Parking opposite the church; a disabled toilet is in the church in the vestry.
