St Oswalds Church Thornton History and Heritage
Heritage Open Day: St Oswald's church will be open for tours and a special display celebrating our parish stories and heritage: from the internationally famous (Conan Doyle, Turner) to the local communities that live and work here on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. St Oswald's, originally a Norman parish church though with a nave and chancel remodelled in the nineteenth century (and subsequently restored by Paley and Austin after a fire in 1933), has been home to the lives of Thornton residents for centuries. Arthur Conan Doyle was married here and Turner sketched in the parish, but we also hold the stories of the local Redmayne family of Thornton Hall and the people of several distinct communities: Westhouse, Masongill and Ireby.
