All free, but donations gratefully received St Giles's, Bielby, is a small church standing in the heart of the village. Its architectural features range from Norman beakheads to Georgian box pews. Particularly notable is its north wall. It is an infilled C13 arcade revealing that a north aisle has been removed and that the church once extended further west. This amazing stonework was revealed when the church underwent renovation some twenty years ago. Previously it was completely covered in cement rendering since Victorian times.
The church has two bells...
